What's next? Hidden benefits of snorting coke? LEL

I volunteer to manage his money, alright, and completely free of charge as well. Unreal

You're the ultimate God promoter aren't you Not sure what I'm seeking really, just sort of coasting throught life taking care of practical benign daily matters. Can't understand how some people want concepts like "marriage"

Marriage has no meaning or weight behind it nowadays I feel, it doesn't mean shit really. It used to mean something in the past, althought it always was kind of an illusion, but definitely a stronger one in the past. Furthermore, I don't even know if I'd be able to find someone I could marry, so I can't understand how I could even consider it as a goal of some sorts, it's like asking "Why go to Saturn?" Well shit, idk man. Seems kinda out of reach, no?

That's absurd. If even so much as one more country, such as Poland for example, would join the conventional war against Russia, that would already be too much for them I reckon. Imagine the whole Scandinavia, all 3 Baltic states, Germany, France and Britain joining in as well, that means bye bye for Russia in pure conventional war, not in the operation Barbarossa 2.0 sense ofc, but that'd surely be more than enough for Russia to not be able to advance even a milimiter more and to have their army decimated in the process

The degree to which this is true is up for the debate and depends on the sources from which you took these information. I can say the exact same thing about Russia (massive emigrantion of the young people, - especially at the start of the war - huge ammounts of young men dying, low birth rates). I also see news that Russian economy is kinda irreversably going down the shitter, with really no options left on the Russian side to do anything about it. I don't think BRICS would really save it either. Aren't country's economy and military industry inherently intertwined? Reality is that Russians failed to take Kiev, got pushed back from Kharkiv and Kherson, and took months to take Melitopol (even tho it was hopelessly surrounded and defended by low ammount of men). They failed to take out Ukraine quickly (which was the original goal) and had to actually start mobilizing men to match the strength of Ukraine army, which already wasn't ideal scenario to begin with. From that moment onwards they've been stuck in the attritional war they've been hoping they'll somehow going to win eventually, but the territory gains are abysmally small (almost equivalent to WW1 territory shifts) and have to be paid for by large ammounts of technical and manpower casualties. Arguably their biggest victory was imo ironically their defence of Zaporizhzhia oblast back in summer 2023, which was a really bad move on the Ukrainean part, but apart from that... I don't think the ammount of casualties are worth these incremental gains they've been able to get. And it is going to catch up with them eventually

Men + women. Obviously. Women can't create a life alone, or am I missing something? LOL Let them make life and let's see if they can defend themselves - and the offspring - against Stone Age wild predators. And also hunt, and build shelter all by themselves. Then we'd see how things really are and who needs who

Why should they? Ofc this is a decision only Ukraine has the rights to make, and noone else. But I don't see any strong evidence Russia is winning this war, and if we examine this whole war, from it's inception back in february 2022 up until today, it all seems like a costly failure and a debacle, really. And there are almost daily reports of their fuck ups, in this and that region, this attack failed, that resuply effort failed, ofc Ukrainean situation is not good either but if they really were on the brink of collapse, we wouldn't see so many failures being reported. This war reminds me of that Winter War offensive Soviets unleashed on the Fins, except that did not last for more than 3 years and Finnish army was a lot weaker in comparison. Ukraine is a whole other animal which Russians underestimated heavilly

Almost all advice I've gotten on the internet (including from these videos and this forum right here) is, for X reasons, largely inapplicable to my own life. I guess the core reason is that none of these advice givers really knows you, nor do they care about you or your situation, so it's just going to be innacurate and not tailored to your circumstances. I'm not even going to comment this guy as he is just another one of these dudes/people in general who seem to do this and benefit from it. Maybe it's time to stop giving these people needless attention

Vast majority of yall would literaly not survive without men, especially not in the earliest periods of human history such as the Stone Age. Men would survive just fine without women, in pure physical means. And this is still the case even today imo, with all the technologies we have. I feel like most women don't fully realize this, until they find out for themselves how non essential they really are in physical survival tasks, or they observe a man doing it much better and quicker. The whole civilization had been built on the backs of man, it's actually pretty crazy to think about

I could be a bit wrong as well, maybe increasing your potential to it's max, both mentally and physically, reaps it's own rewards regardless of it's value being or not being acknowledged by other people. Or maybe both you and the others are the arbiters of value. It's hard to say. Life is confusing

I think it is a cool thing to try to surpass your physical and mental limits and reach your potential, the question is what is it really worth, as @Schizophonia very accuratelly pointed out, if all that effort goes towards our postmodern narcisistic constructs, ultimately all your self improvement efforts only have meaning so long as the over arching objectives transcend your individual ego and your actions are providing a noticeable benefits to the society, and the society recognizes it as such (i.e. the usefullness). Like, imagine if David Goggins was doing all of this stuff he's been doing but noone really gave a shit about him, he wouldn't be taken seriously at navy seal trainings, etc. Do you think he'd remain so consistent at his efforts? I highly doubt it

He probably once heard something about Alexander the Great existing and he thought "Yup, this shit's been going on for thousands of years, if I say it I'm going to look like a sophisticated genius"

I don't like it either. It gives me an eerie feeling, as if I'm slowly conditioning myself into a narcisist just by reading that all of my ideas are great and that I'm great whatever I'm saying, of course this is impossible seeing as narcisism is a genetic and early childhood conditioning sort of mental pathology, but regardless constant ego gratification is unpleasant. Even just for the fact that it is repetitive and boring, and doesn't challenge your ideas I think it is actually a positive thing that a lot of people are complaining about this, means we are not so doomed

If you tried to sniff out Pretty India in any slightly weirder post, you'd eventually go crazy

I never see women invading anyone's personal space, it's always men who do annoying weird shit like that. But I guess you are an interesting specimen to these women due to your bodily proportions, and since they know 100% they can get away with it, they're using that opportunity, maybe out of fascination, their way of showing friendliness, or even attraction. Can't say I don't understand them LUL

Dissagree. Men want to invest into one woman of their choosing and provide for her, while being appreciated for their effort (which includes sex). Yeah you could have sex with any woman just based on instinct, but that's not very fullfilling at all, seeing as you don't actually care about them I'd let women speak on what they want, but for my part that's what I'd want from a woman, along with her aligning with most of my worldviews and values, sharing one or a couple of the same hobbies with me (but having some of her own, having her own life), her not being promiscious and having more or less clean past, etc.

Yes. Because if you have to think along these lines, you are already playing a rigged game. True confidence (and I mean true fucking confidence) is knowing you can raise your left hand up in the air anytime you want, BECAUSE you CAN in fact do that. With 100% probability. Real confidence is not "oh, there's a fairly high chance I might fail, but, you know, I'm going to be confident anyway" Confident about what? Is there enough positive reference experience? For some men there's not. So how the fuck can you just bluntly tell them "just be confident bro, just keep pushing through pain bro" such a self help BS. You want odds stacked in your favour, not against you. Then you can start gaining enough positive experience, and THEN you can be confident. So miss me with that "loser mentality" BS Nice work reciting yet another lines of memorized self help BS. Life doesn't always work like that. Not all challenges are surmountable or even worth being overcome. But whatever

Completely dissagree. The fact that your life is challenging doesn't mean shit, what's the added benefit? Bigger pain tolerance? LOL results is all that matters. You can try hard and have a challenging life and still keep being viewed as a loser by other people. What was all that "challenging life" good for then? For fuck all, that's what. In fact, it's best to make your life as easy as possible. Which does include some effort, but not dragging yourself throught cannals type of effort

I was trying to give her a huge benefit of the doubt while reading this, seeing as I'm ussually automatically internally biased towards anything a woman has to say about dating, but this is just a classic case of losing oneself, as a middle aged woman, in your own little self absorbed maze in which your fickle emotions are your God (while they're all just a result of some temporary hormonal fluctuations masking themselves as some deep understandings of human psyche or something), and you're putting the blame on men for not understanding these emotions (but nobody really can, not even yourself). And since she's almost middle aged already, this probably means she'll make herself be single forever, unlike if she was younger. Not because she wouldn't be able to find a man, but because she makes the whole process unnecessarilly complicated for herself. Dating shouldn't be complicated like this at all, it should be simple and smooth It does kinda come off as a dry egg syndrome

Why did he need a friend to manage his crypto account, If he had just bought some Bitcoin and Ethereum and let it sit there, he could have just done that himself LOL. But whatever, dubious business practices attracting other dubious business practices is not surprising to me in the slightest

It is a real shame that bullet missed

See you on the news, buddy

401k is literaly the same as investing. LOL idk why you keep bringing this up. Literaly makes no difference other than maybe company would be willing to match your contribution to your 401k. And not all companies are willing to offer this, and only big companies and megacorporations or maybe state institutions are able to afford it in the first place. It's complete BS. Just invest on your own, it's much more flexible and your brain matter will increase by thinking a bit Pensions? Are you working in a state institution for several decades, then maybe you'll get one but it's value halved severely by inflation. Other than that, there are no pensions anymore. Social security? LOL it's a ponzi scheme dude. It's existence and stability depends on the young generation paying the social security tax which then directly feeds the old retirees. You can't depend on that with this birth rate, this disguistingly exploitative system, and the kind of prices we have while wages keep being stagnant. Are you actually a troll? Or a boomer? Or both? Yes we need collective retirement strategies, but NOT like those things you mentioned. It has to be something different, but that has to be accomplished by political and social changes, not individual changes Ok? I said the same thing. But most people won't be able to. Prove me wrong. LEL Your ideas about increasing income is the real fantasy. It's what all this retarded hustle culture fantasy and American dream is based on. And majority of self improooovement advice In reality, both increasing your income and investing is more dependent on the actions and mood of other people, than your actions. To think otherwise is delusional. It is a bad investment that should not exist. Just because there's a chance that your future wage/income will be significantly higher after passing college and getting a degree, and that you'll be able to handily pay off student loan as a result, is not a justification for the existence of these loans. They should not be getting a single penny and instead should be state funded completely
