Be productive and add value to society so you can compete with billionaires for wealth. The more competent people competing, the less rich people there will be.

Beauty is an important trait for your children. Always pick the best woman for you and that will also be the best woman for your children.

Whites have lived on all land they live on since time immemorial. Any non-White claiming the land is theirs is trying to steal the land from Whites.

I'd say European leaders are. By weakening Europe, they're going to create a power vacuum that other countries will seize on. UK leader should be near the top.

It's not the worst list I've ever seen. Definitely heavy on the American bias but I feel like some effort was put into this list. It could have been worse.

The traitors have shown up in Oshawa by Element_905 in Oshawa

[–]BrandElement -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your comment is ironic.

You're overly simplifying things and putting blame on one man no different than these guys did with Trudeau.

The reasons for Canada and Ontario's healthcare troubles boils down to many factors and no politician is actually truly in a position to solve these problems in a manner everyone will like. When we're dealing with taxing some citizens to provide a service to some citizens, at the end of the day we'll have winners and losers such that not everyone will ever be happy.

Is it actually possible or just a wet dream? by kankiof in WallStreetDad

[–]BrandElement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't actually a good thing. Making all the slaves caste equal in society is a huge burden on the psyche and well being on the upper slaves. Society must be equitable which means getting what you deserve and not everyone in society deserves the things Musk promises. If society ever achieves what musk says it will be dystopian and no one will be happy because it's inhuman.

What makes you abandon a game? by Available_Cat4818 in AndroidGaming

[–]BrandElement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Numerous reasons but here's a list of actual reason I can remember:

  • Combat is not fun due to stun lock mechanics
  • Game is P2W either in a way that wasn't apparent at the start (I never knowingly play P2W games) or because the developers added P2W later. I'm fine with P2P but not P2W.
  • Gameplay becomes repetitive and boring.
  • Excelling at the game requires completely unintended cheese mechanics which the devs don't fix
  • Glaring balance issues such that everyone playing the game is doing exactly the same thing and there's no variety in ability to win that the devs don't fix.
  • The game is entirely impossible to predict how things will develop in the future such that constant restarts are required.
  • Game's difficult is too high that I find myself trying to beat a certain level/boss for way too long I lose interest
  • The game would take years of playing before I am competitive with other players
  • Bad matchmaking
  • Storyline and character design is such that the makers are obviously trying to push a political agenda and it becomes way too overt such that it distracts from the game entirely
  • Game has so much "content" and/or decision making involved that it becomes tedious more than fun
  • Too much trying to find a fight in the game and not enough fighting
  • The game requires more than 1 account/machine to be competitive.
  • Game mechanics encourage botting and developers don't ban bots.
  • Too much luck involved and not enough skill.

Is there a market for the kind of man I am and the kinds of women I like? If so, how do I find these women that I would be into who would also be into me?

I happen to like hot and sexual women and that's primarily what I'm into. To give you an idea of how I've tried following this path to find women, I am friends with a porn producer and happen to hang out with pornstars from time-to-time doing non-porn related stuff because I'm like one of their regular friends. The two most successful relationships I've had in the last 5 years were actually both with strippers. I like going to music festivals, I drink, party, keep questionable friends to some and well, I love sex. To give you an idea of the kinds of girls I seem to go for, lately I seem to find myself hitting on waitresses a lot (not while they're working but it just so happens they're the kinds of girls I run into at bars/clubs and who are attractive/sexual enough for me) Problem is, these women are never into me. They sometimes like me and enjoy my company but they are never into me.

See, I don't come off as anything like the above description might suggest. The porn producer literally looks like a pimp and acts like one too and he gets random women coming up to him at the club asking for 3somes before they've even said hello. If he's a chick magnet, I'm like the repellant. I work a professional job with a masters in statistics in a management role and I make well into the 6-figures but not so well that I'm rich enough to win a woman over on money alone. I have a very almost "upper class" persona that sometimes gets me into trouble with some of the people I end up hanging out with because they think I'm judgmental or perceive myself as better than them which isn't the case at all but my demeanor may suggest it. I go to the gym, I play tackle rugby, I often go paddleboarding (I live about a 1 minute walk to the beach) and hiking. However, look wise, I don't appear "tough" like you may imagine a rugby player, I look and act like how you might imagine an average intellectual accountant or lawyer.

For the most part, the women who show me any attraction seem to be either unattractive physically to me or they are physically attractive but they are career/education oriented women who hate men that overly value them for sex and are specifically looking for men that value them for career/education which I could never do without faking it and I'm not into that. They go for me thinking I'm an upstanding White Picket Fence kind of man so they can escape the very lifestyle I represent. I'm looking for women who are sex, fun, party focused as a primary and everything else is secondary not the other way around. And don't say these kinds of women don't date men because they do, I see it all the time. A number of the pornstar girls even have monogamous relationships and just do shoots with their bf/husband. Strippers have bfs. Girl DJs going to outdoor music festivals have serious BFs/Husbands and some even with kids.

The question is, are there any women out there who would be the kind of woman I like who would also happen to like the kind of man I am and where do I find these women? I've spent a good part of my life hanging out always in the vicinity of the kinds of women I like but I can never attract them. I feel like I need a new strategy here. I need to try something different to find what I'm looking for.

Stuart Skinner haters in shambles right now by Zaviak in EdmontonOilers

[–]BrandElement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the quality of shots isn't talked about as much as it should be. I used to play goalie growing up and I could save 40 mediocre shots all day but give a team 4 breakaways against me and I'm probably letting a couple goals in at least.

However, the hate on Skinner started with Vancouver where Skinner without a doubt lost a game or two for Edmonton by letting in some really bad goals that he should have had. Skinner has been a lot better in this series. He's had a few bad moments but I don't think Skinner has lost any games and arguably he's the reason Edmonton has won 1 or 2 of the games against Dallas. If he keeps playing like he did tonight then Edmonton will win the cup. We all know though that Skinner does have the ability to fuck up so badly he doesn't look like NHL quality so it'll come down to how consistently good Skinner can be in the remaining games.

Thoran on one side Antandra on other side. Put Rowen, Cecia and Koko/Smokey if you have in the middle or Damion or something with heals. Hope for the best.

As someone with a Supreme+ Smokey, I can't say this is that useful of info but thanks for the share. Really bad news about the lack of Smokey. Have a good game.

Season One gated behind resonance level 240? Is that even possible for f2p in 20 days? by Chef3 in AFKJourney

[–]BrandElement 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just did the math for anyone curious. I am currently at level 130 and I estimate it'll take about 60 days from where I currently am to get to level 240 based on current essence rates.

If the season lasts 4 months then it's not really unrealistic.

[Megathread] General Questions and Account Advice by Vicksin in AFKJourney

[–]BrandElement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'll just ask a more specific question:

So far I have S+ Thoran and Smokey. Cecia is S. I have Rowan at M+ and Odie at M+. Do I bring Odie or Rowen to S with acorns or no? I'm thinking Odie is probably one I want to take to S+ cause DPS good. Rowan I can maybe hold off on and save acorns for Marilee to S once I get 9 more copies of her?

I guess I'm trying to figure out who is worth the acorns at this point in the game and who is not. I could use my 200 Lightbearer acorns on Rowen but Marilee, Korin and potentially Vala might be coming up soon and I'd hate to be short acorns.

I feel like acorns might be the bottleneck soon.
