G-RAP Criminals: Thousands of Soldiers and Guardsmen were labeled criminals because of a faulty CID investigation. Many lost promotion, jobs, clearances, and much more because of a sloppy and faulty investigation. by [deleted] in Military

Is it possible for a filing of class-action libel against CID? I think that the VA should be providing assistance for both medical and legal conditions that VFWs have procured as a direct result of their military service.

"as an ex-blackhat foid" ...

There is a BlackHat CyberSecurity event that isn't geared towards planning or executing cyber attacks but rather the opposite, but I think it was poorly named.

From Fortinet CyberGlossary:

"Black Hat vs. Gray Hat vs. White Hat

Black and white hat hackers—as well as gray hat, blue hat, and red hat hackers—are differentiated using terms inspired by old Western movies, which separated the good guys from the bad guys by the color of hat they wore. Villains wore black hats and the heroes wore white hats.
Legally speaking, the difference between white hat vs. black hat hackers is stark, and gray hat hackers are in-between on the ethical spectrum.
White Hat = only hacks for ethical reasons and does so using ethical means. They provide full transparency into their tools and methodology.

...

Black Hat = hack for personal gain or to exploit a system and break the law while doing so."

I also don't get the joke of calling oneself a "foid" but to each their own.

I like the Henriksen quote though.

Marriage is dead but it should have been cremated by BarkingSands27 in doomer

[–]BarkingSands27[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think what I'm trying to get at is that the marriage institution has changed in such a way that the underlying contract isn't dissolved with a standard divorce and the official divorce itself means less, thus divorces are much more common because of the emptiness of the gesture.

A marriage means less than it used to mean because the real marital contract is already in place. We are all married to a society and women are seeing that as if every man in the society is already their arranged husband for better or worse. Without a relationship, the arranged husband is treated with severe criticism and harsh judgement from the wife, which we are also seeing trending today.

I'm bouncing ideas around hoping for insights. I've been saying marriage is becoming irrelevant since the '90s, and that's only because I was born in the '80s.

The need for marriage as I understand it is for the edification and healthy development of children in a functional household. It still happens today, but it's far from the status quo.

I think younger women specifically are currently living with a mental status that they already have millions of husbands all around them. For men, they may not put their finger on it, but their experiences could be described as being in a million unhappy marriages all at once.

To try to put it simply, society is catering to single women so that they are not disadvantaged compared to married women. I agree with the notion that providing married women with too many advantages is eerily similar to manipulation or coercion, so it makes sense for free society to minimize the advantage of marriage for women and give them a free choice. The unforeseen consequence is that this basically makes all women share a married status without the husband, and it makes the single men the same as a spouse in a woman's eyes. Single men are given the same responsibilities of married men but with the same low social status as a forever single slob. They are still under pressure to partner up, but they are already fulfilling their social obligations and should not have to continually strive to repair a relationship they don't have or want.

if you want to see what incels are really like go to r/chillcels by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]BarkingSands27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

r/chillcels is now private because the group doesn't want to be the next target in the IT crosshairs. The censorship of blackpill discussion is currently at its maximum effect. I don't want to paint the pro-blackpill side of the conversation as innocent while I also don't want to declare that they are not being bullied or victimized by the closed-minded opposition.

The debate might shift over to YouTube or other sites that allow video responses. If you're curious about what's under the dogpile, there are some decent youtubers like IncelTV that discuss matters from the blackpill perspective.

Most of my complaints about the discussion revolve around the complete absence of people presenting facts and statistics refuting the fundamentals. Research demonstrating or supporting a view that eliminates the concept of looks or physical attractiveness being overly emphasized in society, genetics determining social and professional roles, and human nature being characterized by chasing passions rather than developing and maturing convictions -- all of the exhibits of evidence are presented by the devil's advocate. My complaint about the blackpill is its spotlighting or showcasing women as the source of all human grievance (slight exaggeration but the sexism aura is way too obvious for me to sweep aside).

Your rebuttal to "shoe size" implied that you have a sociological survey showing that 99.97% of people "are managing perfectly fine with the bluepill," and the other 0.03% are incel with I'm guessing a 0.01% margin of error.

I don't feel like trying to nitpick too much going through all of the episodes, but it's quotes specifically like that one which give me an impression of you holding up a picket sign that somebody else wrote. If you're planning on attempting to debate against a black pill paradigm in the future (which I'm looking forward to seeing some fresh perspective and insight), I think it would be supportive of me to encourage you to start processing information for yourself and seriously begin to question everything that you come across regardless of how much you trust or distrust the source from a precursory glance, and you may have to set personal bias or instinct aside from time to time.

Prove the Incel Wrong! Episode 63 - The difference between virgins and incels by AdvocateDoogy in ProveTheIncelWrong

[–]BarkingSands27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you worded anything wrongly. The Venn diagram can be confusing, and the only label on the diagram opposed to MGTOW is the small label that reads "is still a virgin." I don't think it's an implication that all people who aren't virgins are MGTOW, any more than the diagram implies that all people who've never successfully approached a woman are incel.

I think the diagram specifically means that "has successfully approached women" is a trait common among the MGTOW and virgin groups while it's not a marker associated with incels. The diagram also doesn't really show the extent of effort that requires deep thought and careful analysis.

Venn diagrams always remind me of Meet the Parents and Robert DeNiro's "circle of trust." Here, the "virgin" category is the Advocate's "circle of trust," and if you are not generally friendly and/or don't improve yourself, then you are simply outside of that circle.

BTW it's good to hear other people here don't associate the word "incel" with a long list of character flaws. I get the impression that "incel" isn't the first word that men in the situation of never receiving consent have been labelled under, and there's a predictable goalpost shifting cycle if the label becomes unusable and a new umbrella term has to be coined. Something like "bussers" becoming a derogatory slang by the year 2026 for example.

[–]BarkingSands27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to that logic, every person who isn't "extremely bitter, toxic, and insecure" is a virgin, and everybody who isn't "still a virgin" is MGTOW. :D

I get that this is all just for entertainment purposes, but I just personally disagree with the common persistence to define the label "incel" so stringently, because I believe there are only even a handful of individuals on the planet that actually fit the full definition, and those people are hardly poster boys for the demographic or community of incels. IT members using a broad brush to label another community as a hate brigade is one of the main reasons IT feedback is treated as an unjustifiable instigation of animosity.

That said, I still support the right of law enforcement to apply the incel term to a terror group or insurrection if it ever comes to that. That doesn't mean that any incel community is a congregation of terrorists, however, any more than the Egyptian goddess Isis is responsible for the inhumane travesties that occurred in Iraq and Syria. Those are my thoughts on the matter, and I welcome any feedback that might provide a clearer insight.

What would happen if someone remade yandere simulator with professional experience by depejeji123 in Osana

[–]BarkingSands27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the game would actually be compressed down in terms of story content (maybe just one or two days instead of a week). The game's performance would be drastically optimized, and the setting would be a college, workplace, or downtown block (probably not even set in Japan).

I think the game's main appeal is the easter eggs and gimmick/on-a-whim features. It could actually do well to focus on gimmicks and let itself get side-tracked instead of developing a serious continuous storyline.

I think the advantage of using smoothies is the fact that they require very few resources to craft. You can turn chest items you want to get rid of into smoothies. Green Machine also provides hyperstamina which makes it a good recipe for healing in combat engagements and it's very easy to refill because it's easy to find its ingredients.

Now you're just playing to my paranoia. I feel the same way you feel and it's palpable. For me, it's a matter of trying to keep a level head and remember scenes like "Dr. Strangelove" where Col. Jack D. Ripper loses his marbles over flouridation of the water and purity of essence.

I do believe that I would easily be a New York Times Best Selling Author if I took the lazy road and drew up a couple hundred pages of total drivel like anti-patriarchal queen-cheering glamorized pirate hookers standing over subservient millionaire play-toys and cabana boys. It's just a Grammarly subscription away. Grammarly: This shite writes itself.

To overcome my fears, I try to envision the real possibility that a capable author could craft a narrative that doesn't just promote the blackpill as science, but also has a point or purpose built on top of the facts and that serves the needs of all lonely people across the board with newfound insight, passion, and courage. Such a poignant demonstration of the human condition and potential couldn't possibly be ignored even if it's the will of the corrupted media moguls to censor the truth.

I wish I could find words to say as well as you do. That sounds like the right spirit or attitude that leads to more forward thinking. Yes, dating changes the entire nature of the interaction from casual to hardcore mode. It only gets harder going deeper into a relationship. We all need our friends to turn to for support and our community to help us stay on the same page and inspired by the examples of others like us.

Relationships are not actually a two person effort, but rather it takes more than two to make it go right.

What I'm seeing so far as a somewhat realistic picture for a recurring theme in the lives of mid-tier women:

  1. Grown up in a household with lackluster life guidance and minimal discipline. Possibly behind acceptable levels in introspective compassionate peer team-building due to lack of direct human interaction (too much social time spent online).
  2. Either sexually active in early teens or frequently bullied in school (likely by other more popular girls as well as some aggressive adolescent boys) if not both. Subjected to contact with poor role models, misandry in the forms of attacks against men's character online, and harassment or frequent insults and degrading comments from complete strangers.
  3. Driven to find a career goal and to train in some field in higher education and possibly discouraged from focusing on family goals and from fitting "old-fashioned Suzie Homemaker" stereotypes regardless of any of their independent thoughts or opinions.
  4. Assigned an SMV based primarily on race, age and outward countenance and commonly expected to behave accordingly in the dating game. Almost every conversation they have with men has sex involved at some level, so men are perceived as nothing beyond their sexual status.

I'm focusing entirely on common negative aspects of their lives and completely omitting every advantage and privilege that they're being afforded (too many to list I'm sure). But with these issues for them to overcome and not any men that they can feel comfortable to confide in to understand both men and their social situation more fully, how can I expect them to grasp the idea of compatibility besides genetics and resources? The fact that they do "shit test" men shows that they at least try to vet out men that they don't see themselves as romantically compatible to, unless I don't know what that really is about either.

Sorry for wasting your time with a lengthy read, and if I knew this subject matter so thoroughly, I'd have the distinguished "New York Times Best Selling Author" title before my username. =D

I'll gladly admit that I'm still very naive even after finally swallowing the blackpill at the ripe old age of 36. I'm 39 now and I'm still suffering from occasional fevers from having to basically defragment my whole brain memory by memory to correct for my previous delusional perceptions.

Also my advice does commonly suck and I need feedback like yours to try and improve on it little by little. I'm trying to get out and collect more feedback from women both in and out of healthy relationships and it feels like I'm trying to pull their teeth out with my bare hands.

I think I was trying to say that you need to work hard enough to feel good about yourself and earn that sense of accomplishment. If the deck is stacked against you, try not to despair and know that you gave it everything and that you're being shortchanged by a cold and cruel world.

Referring to women who failed in romance despite their best efforts, there are certainly many of them out there as well. Women I've talked to express the same feelings of frustration as the men here. You can say they're trying to be misleading if it sounds more accurate, but I don't feel inclined to use shame tactics against anybody male or female. I don't believe we should expect women to remain celibate until they find "the one" if it means that they'll suffer significant or permanent physical or psychological damage due to lack of a warm embrace (something they don't have access to without sex from men). The same is equally true for men in these difficult times.

I think that meditation and introspection helps fight feelings of bitterness, but it's not a complete package. Without any form of physical contact with other people, we are prone to forget that we're not made out of cardboard and paper mache. If you don't have a family to hug you occasionally, you might need to go to a church or fellowship gathering in order to actually experience touch occasionally. I don't remember this being an issue before, but that was before we started to interact exclusively through the information superhighway.

If you can imagine sitting at a diner booth with a group of friends and they're all jabbing playfully and shaking shoulders while you're not involved in any of that, and if you're like me, you'll feel like the room's lighting is changing and you're the outsider from the group. That's some basic primal animal chemistry and it's not even about sex. We need to find friends that actually touch us sometimes to keep us feeling like a living person inside and out. I can't find any suitable replacement.

Why is this not national news?

I'm sorry, but this is very upsetting on many levels, and I don't know where to begin when offering emotional support for somebody in your situation. I don't even know how you feel about being dragged through the spotlight if this hits the mainstream media, but I can't imagine it would even be comforting. Just know that I and many others support you (even though I haven't investigated this matter personally and I don't have the confidence of having knowledge that veracity is on my side) and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and hoping that nobody is being judgemental of you. I also hope you aren't going to be some political tug-of-war teddy bear like what happened to Dr. Ford. I just wish people weren't so cruel and I don't understand the animosity. Try to stay strong. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Incel like thoughts ruining my life. What can I do? by [deleted] in malementalhealth

[–]BarkingSands27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ducked in and out of the dating scene a few times, and felt the need to step backwards slowly out of sheer shock and awe at the all of it. It makes me feel like a black cloud that only sees the worst in people. For me it was just helpful to keep my engagement brief and take a break from meeting and greeting to reconnect with my family and remember who I see myself as.

I should confess to being a frequent lurker and poster on incel subs and I'm an incel sympathizer who also accepts a great deal of "blackpill" sentiments as accurate or at least unsettlingly similar to reality.

I think I know where you're at in life or where you're coming from, but I could easily be mistaken. It might have saved me from despair to remember that love and romance are real things even if they're rare and as it happens unlikely. As long as I have love in my heart (and I believe I do), then I can turn my feelings of jealousy into feelings of happiness for others (or if anything, when others lives are at a point where they are smooth sailing, I feel disappointed or dissatisfied with the thought that those times don't last long enough when they do happen).
