  1. I only ever met a couple of people I would consider fit to own a dog out of the myriad of dog owners I've met. Most people don't have the time, resources or discipline to properly tend to a dog. I know people who got breeds simply because they look cool but don't fit their lifestyle at all. I know a chronically ill person who owned a sleigh dog. Obviously they couldn't keep up and it ended up so stressed and bored that it started eating glass. But then they had a huge ego over giving it up to a certain someone who was capable of giving that dog a decent life. The rise of dogs getting medicated is a sign that too many people own dogs that they can't properly take care of. The high demand on dogs incentivizes irresponsible breeding, which leads to bad genes and anti-social dog behavior. Way more shelter dogs should be euthanized, which is clearly an unpopular thing to say, but would realistically be the most responsible thing to do. There are way too many dogs in circulation. And people are way too fucking obsessed with dogs, to a point of mania. I've had people let their dogs into my home uninvited, then act shocked when I get mad. I've seen people walk their giant illegal looking pitbull monster through a park full of kids with no leash acting like it's normal. The shitstorm people throw over "dog abuse", like that Hasan situation. Shit's childish and irresponsible. It's like dogs have become the personification of Neverland. Dogs being compared to children is manic af too. It's just a fucking dog, my god.
  2. I actually think Dota is probably the more chad game to wizardmaxx. That's shit's hard. That and CS. Way more pathetic to play some gacha gooner game for 1000+ hours. If Dr. K had 1000s of hours into Genshin Impact, Fate, etc. his opinions would be as good as worthless.
  3. Recently jumped on the safety razor bandwagon because I've heard it gives a closer shave and is cheaper. Been using for about a week or so, and I have to honestly say I'm kinda disappointed. It doesn't really shave any closer, but is way harder to use and takes much longer while my skin is more irritated and getting nicked. It's also much harder to shave my balls with. And in my case isn't particularly much cheaper. I have very little facial hair and I've been reusing disposable razors without issue my entire life. A Bic pack can last me about half a year easily. I've spent more on buying a safety razor than I've done on disposable blades in years. If I have to spend even more on high quality lather to make it work then I'm definitely not saving much money. They are supposedly good for shaving legs with though. Ladies?
  4. How long have you been using them?
  5. "People are saying", IE. 1-2 comments of Reddit.
  6. Sounds like a you problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's much much worse for wasting time. They are literally designed to be addictive. People play for 1000s of hours while neglecting making something of their lives. It's way more problematic. The entire media environment can easily slopify your life, but porn gets singled out as uniquely evil despite only taking a fraction of people's time relative to other forms of entertainment on average.
  7. What do you think this is? The distinction that lust is inherently bad is a Christian concept. It's an invention.
  8. The internet has twisted something completely natural into a moral panic. It's crazy. Btw gaming is much more problematic as a form of coping strategy. Much more normalized and available. If you have solid goals you got better things to do than jerk off all day. I've read somewhere that people who identify with nofap are at an above average risk of depression. Take into account that most nofapers are also Redditors, which is the worst social media platform in terms of mental health outcomes. It is conformist brainrot that makes failure the goal for sick people.
  9. You can tell a man's age by how expensive his shaving gear is.
  10. AI search, IE. microwave reheated Reddit 😊👍 We are in the age of slop.
  11. What else would I be using it for? Besides my balls 😂 It's the tip of the chin and mustache that are troublesome. I find it bulky and hard to reach around the nooks of the nose.
  12. The weakest aspect of many liberals and feminists I find the propencity to just ignore and deny things like biology or nature because it's too ugly. It's like getting lost in compassion as an absolute truth when it's just another state of many.
  13. There's actually a positive evolutionary pressure for women to be submissive since they end up having more children. All of human history is indicative of such. Periods where women are politically equal to men is historically an anomaly, only afforded by unprecedented technological development. The fact that feminists tend have the fewest children is quiet indicative. Like this phenomena of women freezing during rape. If you think about it, it makes more sense for women to evolve to not fight their rapist tooth and claw because they are the one's that end up reproducing. Stockholm syndrome is pure survival when a woman gets raped and kidnapped by another tribe. She ends up a loving wife and all the happier for it. Brutal efficiency based on how our biology is shaped. It has a lot to do with the fact that we are warm blooded mammalians, where it's common for females to be smaller than males, with long gestation periods. Human nature would look a lot different if we laid eggs.
  14. I doubt his gamer cred. He comes off as if he studied gamer terminology but never actually touched a controller. He has massive "howdy fellow kids" energy. "Depression is like fighting an Elden Ring boss" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ But kudos for connecting with young people. And it triggers the "self-help is a scam" crowd, which is always a good thing. I've gotten good value out of him.
  15. Sure. I understand spirituality to be essentially to be content with boredom.
  16. Even though milf Leo is kind of pug faced, she looks pretty all done up. And you know she's an expert judging by Leos old videos, if you catch my drift. And you wouldn't need to be super rich or anything. Just listen to her yap about god once a day. Top 10 women who look best pregnant.
  17. Stay away from him and act like he doesn't exist as much as possible if you see him again. The fact is that there's nothing to gain from him in injuring or threatening you at this point. If he does, he'll be arrested. A good approach for dealing with negative thoughts is to simply notice them and then do nothing. You do that enough, the thought loses power. You stop sustaining it with negative energy. Try it. Bullies live of the negative reactions they get from people. Most of the time it's sufficient to remove yourself and ignore them. Practice emotional non-reactivity. Training MMA, going to the gym, etc. are good for building confidence and self-development, and you should, but you'll find the greatest safety in numbers. Social isolation is the biggest predictor of being targeted.
  18. Nofap is internet brainrot. It overemphasizes failure while giving next to no tangible results. In practice you end up just feeling guilty about jerking it. Stop conforming to fringe ideologies, sects and cultural moralizations. Their goal is rarely genuine self-improvement. If your watching too much porn, the deeper issue is likely too much free time and a lack of solid goals. Aimless people turn into bad people as they default to the path of no resistance.
  19. Learn to create results. Confidence comes from surviving failure, and failure and set-backs are indicitative of progress. You need to take lots of action towards your goals. Make sure to define clearly what your goals are and work incremently on them everyday. What differentiates jocks and chads from other men is that they are outwardly action oriented. Don't think in terms of embodying a stereotype or being always keyd on and aggressive. Pick your battles. Sometimes its better to be submissive when the cost winning a situation is not worth it. Any humilliation, failure and set-back you suffer is endurable.
  20. Body language is an amazing field of study. You can learn so much from just reading the subtleties of simply moment to moment gestures.
  21. In pass #5 your just trying to make what your value means to you concrete and clear. Previously it was just a vague notion. Now your making clear in your mind what your value actually entails in real life. What exactly does this mean to me? Just be general here. What comes to mind when you think of this value? What would it look like tangibly? What would look like in real time? Here your honing on what actions this value entails. How would I know if I embody this value? How would you look like if you embodied your value? What lifestyle are you living? What feelings and states do you experience? what specific experiences do you have? Here your honing in on what kind of person you'd be and what kind of life you'd live if you embodied your value. Your value means something specific to you. Not just in the abstract, but in terms of what kinds of action you take and states you experience. The definition is just a one sentence description of what you understand your value to mean to you in essence. Don't overthink too much. It's supposed to be somewhat intuitive. Here's one of my examples:
  22. They are a parody of themselves
  23. Antropomorphism is wrong. It's a projection of qualities that don't exist. Dogs are not children and they can't fulfill emotional needs like other another person. It silly and can lead irresponsible behavior, like overfeeding or behavior issues. Nothing I've said has been definitely untrue. Your clearly biased yourself.
  24. 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.
