I never stated he needs to be a manly man. It just doesn't sound to me like he's turbo gay either.

Short-term relief 👍 Long-term, let them deal with their own issues and corruption. Don't retard their growth. Obviously, you would never do charity if you didn't get at least equal benefit in some way. People get to feel good about themselves, feel a sense of purpose and companies can do tax write-offs. Often only a fraction of donated funds actually go to the cause. There's a lot of bureaucratic overhead. Donating as a complex is a survival strategy. No such thing as a free lunch. The money itself isn't worth as much to those who donate as to those who receive it. Otherwise you couldn't afford to donate. So they must be getting something else out of it.

Betterment is a good short-term solution to a crisis, but long-term generosity creates dependency and undermines the local economy. It's hard to compete with free so poor countries are rendered indeficient at developing their own businesses and systems for handling survival. And the free stuff is often mediocre and eats away at peoples dignity, like used clothes. Africans wearing a tired old oversized Spiderman shirt instead of something locally produced. The "gifts" poor parents give their children during Christmas are all donated. It sends a message to one's self-esteem when it's chronic. It's a good example of how good intentions tend to backfire if you don't appreciate how systems work. It's an example of why stage green is insufficient at solving the problems it cares about, and often actually makes things worse. Sometimes its more evil to rob people of the opportunity for self-improvement and dignity with your compassion than to just let them suffer and struggle.

This corny ass shit needs to stop. I had to put voicelines to zero when I used to play Apex. I can only take that much cringe at a time.

Cringiest generation.

Sounds like you just don't want the responsibility that comes from being a man. Getting shit done, basically and being a provider of value. Women also provide value but its more intrinsic through beauty and breeding. There's no free lunch. Men have to become something to a much greater degree though. You'll eventually be forced to be responsible for your survival. You can't be a kid forever. But you have the opportunity to choose what that's gonna look like. In the past, you'll be coal miner if that was your lot. You wouldn't have the time to even think about any of this stuff.

Bruh, the therapy speak makes me want to shoot myself.

Cope.

You probably didn't watch the video. It's much more structural than just ideology. Your undermining people's survival if they become too dependent on your donations. And they can't develop businesses because poor people can't compete with free stuff. At the same time the stuff you donate is going to be mediocre garbage compared to what they could produce themselves if they had the opportunity. If a school was dependent on donations in order to function on a basic level then that would be problematic in of itself.

Emphasis on sometimes.

Guys who look like this will 100% question what a women is while at the same time get mad if you express even slightly moderate positions.

Go read self-help instead.

I've been on 6 million dates but I always tell them 271k 💪😤💨

I don't play much games these days, but I started playing Vampire Savior on Fightcade recently, which is the most exciting gaming I've done in a while. It's the first time I've ever played Darkstalkers online after years of just playing against the cpu. Quiet difficult to find matches that are on an even skill level though. It's also a little bit toxic, but that's to be expected.

Don't understand the hype about Stardew Valley. You wake up, chop some trees, run out of stamina and have some lame conversations with NPCs. Most fun I had was putting up signs with demented messages when I was playing with a friend.

Zebras are bastards.

Eh, sloppy.

I think self-improvement is a selfishness that tends to lead towards benefiting the whole. It makes you generally a better, less addicted, healthier, more conscious individual who more meaningfully contributes to society, but for essentially selfish reasons. Just wanting a better life.

Evolution doesn't optimize. In fact, there are very sligthly more men than women. Something like 102 men for every 100 women. It makes sense if anything for there to be more men than women because they are more expendable relatively speaking. One dude can impregnate multiple women but we could always use more soldiers and tradies.

Pirating anime cost the anime industry billions. But at the same it's the only way to watch many older anime and you don't have to deal with regional licensing or censorship.

Arcade games from the 90s cheated at their own game to cheat you out of your quarters.

Covid did definitely break certain people. I know a guy who used to be sound. Now he spams conspiracy and alt healing videos and washes his legs in piss everyday.

He speedran finding god as soon as the allegations came in 😂 But can he outrun them?

Wait till someone who's eaten garlic comes near you with their gassy stinky onion breath. Then you'll know fear.
