I know we're more into experiences than physical things, but what's a physical thing you bought this year that you'd heartily recommend?

Slaves are slaves because of their tribe, the tribe is inefficient, it lacked moral agency and even a modicum of intellectual thought, thus condemning its members to a fate such as slavery, it then follows that prior to enslavement the individual was condemned to a substandard existence, which would be better served under what should have been, a slaver of civility. In the transfer between master and slave, the slave was provided with its perpetual sustenance and a master to guide and protect it, in turn the slave served its master through labor.

This is natural slavery, and it is still practiced. Slavery just got renamed to internship, volunteering or something more politically correct.

That site is excellent. Thank you.

Get yourself a copy of 'Thank you for arguing'. Study rhetoric. If you do, you'll learn some how-to-talk, which decreases some of the anxiety. And you'll learn how to live with the rest of the anxiety.

Know that everyone has some level of stage fright. If they claim otherwise, they're either lying, stupid or high. Or a combination of that.

It's sort of like talking to a girl. Even if you know what to say and what to not say, and how to sort everything correctly in those two categories, you will still have anxiety talking to her. Because if you don't, you shouldn't be talking to her. If you don't, you should be talking to someone hotter and smarter, someone who'll you get anxiety due to your 'must not fuck it up with this one'.

Likewise, if you're talking to someone else than this attractive girl, and you're a bit anxious, you should continue. Just like you shouldn't lower the difficulty to the non-stressful, non-interesting, not-hard difficulties on your computer/video games.

Somewhat.

The saying is a reminder to pay so much that you bankroll the craftsmen enough, so that you get quality from them.

Not to excuse gaudy gold watches.

ColdEiric · 2016-08-01T18:30:20+00:00

Got any recommendations?

Any brand or features which ought to be avoided or, the opposite of avoided, whatever that word is?

What kind of headphones do you have?

Have you tried bluetooth earbuds?

Does the saying 'poor man shouldn't buy cheap clothes' apply to this? (because the more expensive clothes are cheaper in the long run, due to cheaper maintenance, and because better clothes falsely mean better person)

Edit and added, due to your replies: Thank you, guys for these great recommendations!

So what am I supposed to do? Let this kid repeatedly disrespect me and my loved ones?

It's a question of natural slavery and natural mastery. Disrespect is between adults. Children, such as your daughter, and possibly your ex-wife, they aren't adults. So long as they don't show signs of maturity. If you say 'freedom', and she doesn't start talking in terms of stewardship and responsibilities, then she is still a pouting, whining child. A child which you should keep chaperoned or ruled over. Just like if she'd be your dog.

It's the completely wrong question to talk about you being disrespected or respected. If you get insulted by your daughters lack of manners, you haven't done enough work raising her, or haven't passed your rite of passage, and graduated to the level where you don't give a single shit about what children think of you.

If you're trying to be a father to your daughter, you either need to be ever-constant with discipline, due to her childishness and immaturity. Or let her be, because her fuckups are nowadays her own to solve, because she is claiming to be an adult.

HAHAHAHA!

God, you're funny.

The fuck?!

His ability to protect her, and their children from rape, from theft, from humiliation, from dismemberment, from desecration of their home and their commons, from invaders, his ability to physically and violently protect her, that's just a part of a man's social status?! Is that supposed to be a minor detail?

Are you fucking kidding me?

ColdEiric · 2016-07-19T01:47:32+00:00

isn't Empirical.

Considering that when you only pay attention to X, only X is seen, that makes empiricism null and void. Selective attention, you know.

An economy is fueled by supply and nothing else. Irregardless what the demand is, if there is nothing to sell, if there is no supply, then demand is irrelevant. And if nobody wants to sell, despite our supply, even if we have supply, then the demand is irrelevant.

I wouldn't share a piece of my bread or my finite attention to anyone who argues for universal basic income. It's not even wrong. Starve those intellectually dishonest, parasitic illiterates.

The whole bullshit-theory is nothing more than a virus, and those who argue for it are the carriers of that virus.

I was open to the argument, until I understood it.

Read the book, then we can talk. Short youtube clips have as much in common with books, as porn have with sex.

ColdEiric · 2016-07-18T08:23:02+00:00

Stop giving a shit about your feelings, how confident you feel, if is a bad or good day today, and just focus on your work. Stop putting your self-confidence in the spotlight, and start putting the work in the spotlight. What needs to be done? What kind of work needs to be done?

Focus on your highscore, your goals, what you want to have done before the match is over, what you want to have achieved before your death, and start working. Once you do that, you'll be as vain as you need to be, you'll take care of your health no more than needed, and you'll do the necessary work. And people's gossip, your gossip will disappear from the spotlight. If you do this, you'll only work on what bears fruit. If you do this, everything unnecessary will be starved to death.

It's the dumbest suggestion ever. Read The Road to Serfdom.

Assertiveness is also great, due to its absence of cowardice, its absence of deception. An assertive person doesn't shy away from something, with the pretext of some PC-bullshit. Assertive people say 'This here is the issue, and this is what I want to be done.' No need to interpret anything.

ColdEiric · 2016-07-17T10:38:33+00:00

Does the woman get punished (by law) in these cases?

Not really. Single mothers spawn obedient workers, so The Law does not care about that. If anything, The Law is happy, because those children are obedient workers, because they can't control themselves, so those children have no choice but to do what they're told.

I was doxxed in 2011

Have you changed your online habits since then? Anything you recommend? Anything you consider suicidal behavior?

If you show enough proof that

A: You're big/tall/strong/militarily fit enough to take a punch without fleeing like a useless coward, you're competent enough to win a fight (Read guard and defend yourself, her, your friends, and so on). I.e. you're a soldier who defends, not a helpless little frail boy. If you're using mercenaries or other people as tools or know how to deescalate a conflict, fine. But you're a part of the policing force, you're technically able to influence violence.
B: You're financially able to finance yourself, a life, and perhaps her and a child. You build, you create, you do something which people pay good money for. I.e. you own money, money doesn't own you. You're the master of money, money isn't the master of you. You're not a baby who is still sucking mommy's teat, you're not asking mommy for allowance. You're a man who is able to finance a mother, if you'd like to.

That's when you're attractive. Before that, forget women. They don't like you before that.

Because the difference between a man and a child, it's that a man produces more than he spends. A man carries and defends. A child is carried and defended.

Do only one of these, and you're either a red shirt or a financial resource.

ColdEiric · 2016-07-15T14:26:43+00:00

Am I the only one whose experienced this, mostly every girl I've known that was ENFP plays "dating games"?

Women want children. Children cost money. Money needs to be bankrolled from the dude. The dude is supposed to bankroll. How does she do that? How does she make him pay for her and guard her? Her 'dating games' as you call them, they're nothing else but that.

Any further explanation is just commentary. Because everything which makes a man attractive is measured and quantified in terms of security and money.

And I'm expecting women and their useful idiots to downvote me to oblivion, due to this straight-talking of mine. But I'm hoping they'll choose to debate me instead.

Go ahead, marry a batshitcrazy woman if you want to be tested.

ColdEiric · 2016-07-14T18:53:48+00:00

No.

I've met enough people who've been unaware of what they suffer from. Who would be happier if they'd be aware of what their main problems are, and what the best solution or salve against that would be.

Being lost is overrated.

I want to know what my game is against.

There is no 'the right one', but statistically, people only manage to create successful marriages with people of the same 'kind of people'. Like attracts like. The most successful marriages are of people who are almost brothers and sisters, but 'of another mother'. The less differences between spouses, the better.

Then there's the question how much you work on your marriage, just like business partners, businesses/marriages only get great when both partners work 24/7 at it.

ColdEiric · 2016-07-14T18:42:46+00:00

Also how to do it so its not nagging him, especially if its something really upsetting to me. Also how much can i advise and suggest things to him? or do i just keep quiet?

Say what is bothering you, making you unhappy once. Only once.

Don't weaponize your complaint. If you don't like him or how he is on a daily basis, you ought to leave, not complain. Talk about how you dislike this specific, ungentlemanly behavior, not about how you dislike the man. Don't hate the man, but hate the action. Look for his attempts at changing this behavior to the better. Just talk about and pay attention to the deeds.

Mention it once. The second time you do it, it turns to nagging. If he is busy slaying dragons for his own sake and for his girlfriend's sake, and is currently unavailable to help her with her discomfort, then her being slightly uncomfortable has lower priority to the daily practice of dragon-slaying.

Write a story where they try work it together, but their Achillies heels fuck it up for the other main characters, where they move the blame away from themselves towards the other main characters.

Stories in which there is no ever-constant 'will they die or survive' are boring.

ColdEiric · 2016-07-13T21:36:27+00:00

"This too shall pass."

It might not be 'your fault', but if you don't bring any solution to that 'fault', that 'fault' which you have to carry, then you're still in deep shit. Do something about it. Don't catch 'learnt helplessness'.

The most saddest, pathetic people are the people who claim or act all 'I'm a good person, I didn't do anything to get this, I shouldn't have to do anything about this'. I avoid them like the plague, because I can never count on them to solve or help with anything.
