  1. It's silly to debate lord over differences in preference. A boom and bust cycle of intense learning is obviously not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
  2. Went to my regular recently and as I walked in he gave me just cold look like he was saying "oh" and silently pointed me towards the waiting bench. Came up and he asked where I've been. With another cheaper barber. I pointed out how shit the haircut was from the one I cheated with and he asked how much I payed for it, as if to say if he's only worth a measly 5 dollar difference to him. The entire cut was kind of awkward and silent and made me feel anxious. Haircut was pretty bomb though and he kind of went crazy to please me and shit. Styled it like an orangutan though. Didn't tip. It's funny though, cause the only reason I went back was because the hairdresser I actually wanted that day was full. Thoughts?
  3. Bruh, that other lawyer frame mogged him so hard. "You should leave this county, boah."
  4. A nice guy is someone who can't express what they want directly, so they try to get things indirectly through manipulation. They see themselves as fundamentally unlovable (and thus tend to act like such). Boogie is a very severe case of being a nice guy. This guy pretends he's Mr. Rogers while being a total cu** in private.
  5. Kindness is more about being trustworthy I think. Treating the other person's interests as your own. And nice guys aren't kind. They act conditionally with the expectation that being nice will get them pussy. They can be very entitled and lash out if you don't give them what they want. They are low energy and low self-esteem.
  6. You don't know that. Your being really close minded and argumentative.
  7. There are also people who find school interesting. Your acting like your experience is universal.
  8. I guess you learnt nothing at school then.
  9. I guess his esteemed position kept him insulated from his problems to a certain degree. It's why rich and powerful and heavily privileged people tend to lose touch with reality. Textbook example of being intelligent in one area and a dumbass in others. Why self-help is so great. It keeps you in touch with reality because you learn that there is always another level. Consider how insane you would get if you got super successful without any of the principles. You'd turn into a Trump.
  10. Reading daily is like the index fund strategy of learning. Steady wins the race. Boom and bust autism holes is a niche style.
  11. It's easy advice and it will educate most people more than the alternative. It keeps you reading. It's a simple trick that can get you a lot of results because you make learning a consistency. Most people don't learn anything constructively at all outside if such techniques. There is a lot of high quality information in books that you can't get just through the internet (unless your a pirate). Sounds neurodivergent. Of course if your learning style is tumbling down an autism hole then reading books daily will feel stiffing.
  12. @Someone here It's probably not the case that anyone, let alone your sister, are trying to break you. It's very rare actually that anyone has that much interest in someone else like that. People just be acting out sometimes. It's simpler and less drama to clearly communicate and/or remove yourself from a person than it is to beat them up. When you beat someone up they will never forget it. They are more likely to forget an argument though. Beating a little girl isn't the chad move either no matter how annoying she is. Losing your temper like that is going to stain your self-esteem.
  13. No, that's weird. You don't have to put on a facade. Just ignore and remove yourself from them.
  14. It's pretty effective in my experience. When a conversation is no longer going anywhere walking away tells people your not going to waste your time. Walking away makes it so that they can't attack you then and there. I've only experienced things working out when I did this. Your starving them of their toxicity.
  15. Liberals tend to act like biology doesn't exist when it comes to this topic and just want to flatten it down to just being a matter of mind, ignoring the relation it has to the body. The post-modernist type of thinking where you think therefor it is so is not only ignorant of biology but also bad advocacy for trans, because it's untrue. The strongest argument for trans is that they are born this way, which is a matter of body.
  16. Because we've had a long string of pointless wars in recent history, leftist start thinking that all wars are pointless. Just wars are just rare. You don't see anyone really say that America shouldn't have invaded the Axis.
  17. People who join the army are typically young enough where they don't really "have a life" and big goals. The typical user here would rather double down on their aspirations I think. Not to mention all the mental and health issues you see on display here.
  18. That's easy to judge when your not facing an existential threat. It's not your country being invaded. Big wars require lots of bodies, so you have to force men into it to meet demand. Especially if you don't have a big professionalized army like the US. It's collective survival. Of course a big draft can be socially deleterious, but you have to weigh that against the threat level. Vietnam was a pointless war, so the draft strengthened opposition against it at home.
  19. People's feeling on whether or not they would fight a war depends on if there's a good cause and a lot of fervor. Early WW2, Ukraine and 9/11 saw spikes in volunteers. We have no enemies that feel real today. But people will change their mind if there's suddenly a clear and concrete enemy.
  20. We need to deport these aliens before progressives start giving them free housing.
  21. Walk away and remove yourself from the situation if someone is being belligerent. It's very effective at ending a conversation non-violently.
  22. The biggest predictor of sexual abuse is vulnerability. I think disabled people have a risk of 500% or something to be sexually abused. It's high, which implies that rape is more oprtunistic than anything else. It's just another tool of survival. It's not necessary at all to be traumatized to rape somebody.
  23. The only person I know who "suffers" from jerking it is a depresso who never leaves the house and who has been radicalized by Reddit to hate himself for watching porn. And he'll never stop watching porn.he just psy-oped himself into feeling bad about it.
