@shortstories - I suggest no welfare for the lazy and unproductive.
But there's still a PUA man-whore problem... you know, the guys who are just after new conquests, consequences be damned. They are a problem.
For that, I suggest official ownership of women. Sex outside of marriage is definitively either adultery or rape. Rape is punishable by beheading or castration. Adultery is punishable by expulsion with nothing. I think that would help solve the PUA problem. 🍻
@shortstories - That's working against our biological programming. Very rare is the man (I'd say "no man", but there might be one guy out there) who would encourage another man to be more successful in reproduction than himself.
So, sad to say, I don't think it could ever go anywhere as a societal strategy... Unless the post is an elaborate euphemism for purging undesirables. Then... maybe. 🤔 But it would be a lot of work. 💁🏻♂️ Might be better to let nature run its course. 🫡🍻
@sardonicsmile - Philosophically, I get what the man is saying... But in practical terms, that shit's retarded.
It's like: Raise your hand if you've ever had a smartphone break on you, or gone obsolete to the point of utter frustration. Okay, hands down... Raise your hand if you despise going to the doctor, dealing with medical records and billing - or if you'd rather not catch an infection.
Now imagine, that instead of going to the store and buying a new phone, you have to go get surgery. 🤦🏻♂️
@Tfmonkey - And I gotta say, my stomach is noticeably flatter and more like it once was. I'm feeling lighter on my feet. And I can't prove this, but the entirety of my body/metabolism feels more efficient - like cleaning out a very neglected car engine.
Anywho, just a tip in case you've never tried it (or something similar)... 🫡
Cheers. 🍻
@Tfmonkey - Hey, 👋
So I was listening to last week's MC, and I was listening to your struggles in losing that last 10 lbs. I can relate.
Recently I tried something that you might find helpful: https://www.umzu.com/products/zupoo
The body has many mechanical aspects, and it occurs to me that the first step in restoring a 40yo tool or machine, is cleaning out the crud. And intuitively, perhaps the same is true for a body. 🤔💁🏻♂️
Anyway, there was nothing unmanageable... no emergency situations. 😅
@ButtWorldsMan - Well now I just have one question 🤔:
How does one go from "clownworlds" to "buttworlds"?? 😂😂
I mean, I'm not saying I disagree... but I'm curious about the journey. 😄🍻
@ButtWorldsMan - Interesting video from Vee:
https://youtu.be/tbzJYyc_Gss?si=WOPoTmJ1vp29Ux3a
He talks about the distinction between companies and law, and about how the line is blurring.
And I realized that I think of the US in much the same way as I think of AT&T, Nabisco, or Google.
I guess "the US Govt has guns" would be a valid retort. But for how much longer...? 🤔🤔
No dental for Vets is as cutting as an unfavorable TOS change, and also works to reduce the hired guns available to the US govt. 🫡🍻
@Mongoliaboo @Indignation - Some would say this demonstrates the futility of trying... 🤔 But I can't help being an optimist, and I say there's a lesson here that can be capitalized upon.
Let not the simpery of our ancestors, be in vain. 🍻
@Scubbie @Zeb @37712 @Tfmonkey - After those tangible items, I like to work on the intangibles... like knowledge and skills.
A garage only has so much room for food, ammo, water, and gas. And if you're using gas storage as a one-way ticket to greener pastures when the time comes (as I am), then there would only be so much you can take with you.🤔
So I've been collecting a library of how-to books (among others) - smoking meat, tanning leather, timber frame construction, medicinal plants, etc. 👌🍻
@Wopu - I see projection here. She talks about how no one deserves to be treated as an object, while not realizing that an ATM card is an object.
I'm looking forward to war-brides. 🍻
@furgar - legislating words is fun. 🙄
@Pain66 - Ah, yes... The diverse Uhaul fedbois. 🧐
Wow. Well, that's an honest response at least. And this, in the normie-space... 😮💨
@dander - hmm... 🤔 My first thought is: "cat girls are not furries". So this seems suspicious, and things aren't adding up here... 🤭
@RoninGrey - What a cute scene. 🍻
@marlathetourist - Wow. I can't recommend it... But if you're gonna, be spectacular I guess. 🫗
@PordanJeterson - I wanted to add to that video recommendation: I have to nothing to gain from saying it, except for the remote possibility of getting this world a little closer to livable.
Philosophy can be thought of as "the art of living well." And when men live better, life becomes better for all. 🫡
@PordanJeterson - Side note: I don't mind questioning cliches, but it's worth remembering that cliches are there for a reason - kinda like stereotypes.
I wish the world were a better place. So I try to act in accordance with that.
A big problem (the biggest, probably) is a lack of personal responsibility. So if a bunch of alcoholics are trying to get their lives together, I'm not gonna try to tear them down over something as silly as a mask. I'd rather see them make what progress they can.
@PordanJeterson - That's funny - because some variation of that has played out on several occasions. I'm just a guy who knows what he stands for.
I see you're a fellow psychoanalysis enthusiast. You're not too far off the mark, FWIW.
If we can be honest without turning things into a pissing contest... TFM has an old video series called "the enemies of man", and I can't recommend it enough.
Specifically, I think you might grow to appreciate the video addressing male dominance instinct.
🍻
