Yes. I don’t require people’s adulation because I’m already proud enough (veering more into arrogance and never into the insecurity that’s at the core of every billionaire villain we know), I don’t love money because I simply don’t like things like that (and would find it shameful if I did, I’m very Diogenes-coded), and I wouldn’t overstep my moral limits because 1) I’m a deeply religious man who believes in the Day of Judgment (and I’m not stupid/weak enough to lie to myself to excuse my actions) and 2) I have a lot of experience suffering fools to the point I just pity them and wish them the best even when they insult/dislike/hate me so I wouldn’t just emotionally lash out or whatever (that would just make me the more foolish one then and my clarity and pride will not allow that, you can see my comment history if you need confirmation, lol).

It’s extremely rare to be in my position, and while there are a myriad of things I could not be because I’m just too incompetent for it, being a benevolent dictator is probably one thing I could be a natural at. I already naturally default to a very paternalistic, therapeutic role in both my friend groups and my family (regardless of age, with even my divorced aunties in their 60s calling me for advice and reassurance!). 👍

The USA was a mistake.

Bad times create strong men, when they’re wise and rightly guided, else they just traumatize people.

Strong men create good times, if you define strong as virtuous and not just “physically imposing” or even just emotionally resilient.

Good times create weak men, when “good” is defined as “hedonistic, consumeristic and with no ethical expectations”.

And weak (morally wormy, stupid, etc) men do create bad times. 🤷

Too many Americans are just fundamentally hateful, stupid people and those in power use this fact to further establish themselves. They’re already extremely selfish and amoral so, while I don’t doubt they’re also xenophobic, misogynistic and shortsighted, why would they care if they say X, Y and Z as long as it allows them to keep the grift going? Those who are drinking the Kool Aid are probably fewer in number than those who just think “fuck it, I’m getting the bag” (it all goes back to basic moral relativism, greed and hedonism, as always).

Some people are more reckless and others more fearful. Both can be productive, but it’s wiser (as it usually is), to pull yourself towards the middle.

No, because someone has to be the company’s scapegoat… but if the ridiculous post-truth tendencies of some societies increase, then maybe “AI” will indeed gain “personhood”, and in that case, maybe?

Are swerfs just feminists who disagree with prostitution and its “ideological sanitisation” or am I getting it twisted?

Sure, and getting some comfortable sleep at night knowing you were a net positive to your community at the very least with words (which are cheaper than actions too!) should be the main thing you get out of it. 😅

That’s okay, but it should be visible to everyone that you agreed or disagreed, for the sake of clarity, honesty and responsible communication. Ideally, votes wouldn’t exist (and if you don’t have anything to say in the forum or simply don’t want to, well, you just don’t and you lurk quietly), but if such low-level ways of engaging with the topic are allowed then we shouldn’t be afraid to at least have that vote public, IMO.

I don’t understand what this is supposed to mean. I do know Mr. Kirk won’t be seen kindly by God, though. His misused his free will to become an agent of chaos and a proud troublemaker, after all. 🤷

I feel like there’s a wise and healthy middle ground between being completely unpleasant/making no effort not to be unpleasant (which comes naturally to most properly socialized and not antisocial folks, tbh) and being a doormat, right?

People who only socialize online are often too cowardly to handle it, as they use downvotes sometimes as a way to disagree/show their disapproval without standing by it, and would be terrified if they had to explain why they did so. 🤷

I agree, but meh, I don’t think I care much about it one way or another. Just not seeing their annoying replies is enough for me. 🤷😅

My life is pretty easy all things considered, so it’s hard to lose hope in my own future wellbeing… When it comes to the destiny of the world, I have more or less lost hope for at least many regions of the world, and believe their self-destruction (which will also cause pain and suffering to others, ofc) is inevitable and perhaps necessary for the human race as whole. Hopefully the world isn’t completely fucked, but if it is, well then… “we” made our bed so now we have to lie in it? And, of course, the most important pillar of my emotional stability when everything seems dark is my belief in God and the Day of Judgment, and going to sleep every night knowing I did my best, I controlled my impulses and treated people politely and generously. I know many of you think it’s nonsense and won’t even give it a try but the benefits for any deeply existential and sensitive person are undeniable, I’d say. 👍

I guess? I’m a chatty ADHD enjoyer, I was friends or at least had good relationships with most of the kids in my class of 135 lads. And I’m still happy to meet up with them when possible, since I left my home country a decade and a half ago and I love seeing how they’ve grown and are today prosocial, responsible, mature men but are still somehow the same people they were so many years ago, and it’s like time barely changed us. 🥲❤️

There’s a club if you’d like to go

You could meet somebody who really loves you

So you go and you stand on your own

And you leave on your own

And you go home, and you cry, and you want to die

A clueless and amoral Ashkenazi/European “Jew” supports the genocidal ethnostate his forefathers fought so hard to build and his tribe is currently murdering innocents to maintain? Woah!

It was always just supposed to be a public declaration of partnership and commitment (made with the intention of fulfilling our biological imperative, ofc… remember that reliable, safe and not disgusting methods of birth control weren’t widely available until the late 19th century), not too dissimilar to posting your relationship status on Facebook, just with more weight behind it, lol. And, unless you live in some weird, selectively legally misandrist country that “punishes” men unfairly in divorce (the manosphere talks a lot about it, I assume there’s at least a modicum of truth to it in some places), it still kinda is just that, right? And, evidently, suddenly waking up sometime in your late 20s to 30s and realizing the optics around your singlehood aren’t too positive is one of the worst reasons to hurry into marriage! But many people are silly and live mostly mindlessly, thanks to inertia almost. 😅

If the conversation goes stale for more than 20 mins my friends now it’s time for yappy to go home, lol.
