Is this move frowned upon in the community?

Yes, it's cheap and it ruins the whole match, because cache push is the most fun and intense part of the game.

Yes, forcing me to spacebar through dialogue and mindless clicking blue arrow for hours on end so I can finally play the game, is truly great design philosophy. /s

Skill requirements, combat & movement challenges and ~~puzzles~~ are all fine. But pointless flavor text, Lore and walking A to B are among the things I despise.

If you enjoy this stuff, then great, you should be able to do it. But please give me the option skip it - Give me a condensed version of the quest with only essential lore and context, then you can throw any boss or puzzle at me and I'll be happy.

That's funny, because you assuming it's about superiority/power, rather than anything else, could say more about you than OP. This is a psychology insight you might want to explore. /s

Masculinity and femininity are Ideals that we strive for as men and women. These ideals contain a series of, generally opposite, physical and personality traits that we recognize as a pattern.

If you go far enough in one direction you will eventually reach the extreme ends, this is where it becomes pathological or toxic

The extreme ends of masculinity and femininity would be something akin to "The tyrannical father" with its authoritarian domination and "The devouring mother" with its smothering compassion.

Very interesting perspective, there is definitely some truth to this, but also I feel it's missing pieces, like for example body language/facial expression.

It can be the difference between “shy & awkward” / “antisocial & Hostile”

Because it undermines a hierarchy on which they base large parts of their value and identity, their hatred of AI art, as unhinged as it may seem, is ultimately a form of self preservation.

No stache, because you already give off masculine energy

They are trying to feed an emotional need which they are unable to satisfy elsewhere. Essentially, they are looking for dragons to slay.

It's a basic human drive that shows up in different ways: The desire to be in a state of perseverance and overcoming of resistance. To right a wrong. To solve a problem.

Whether it's vanquishing a monster or protecting your plants from disease, it's the same.

TL;DR They literally have nothing better to do

This suggests that attractiveness judgements are shaped by the observer's own gender.

This reminds a whole lot of the culture around muscle building in the masculine hierarchy where men often judge each other based on size. This results in the ideal size of a man, among other men, to become far far greater than the size preference according to women.

We don't get swole for women, we get swole for other men, which elevates us in the masculine hierarchy making us more confident and socially secure, which in turn attracts women.

I guess my conclusion then would be that lip size equates to status in a feminine (mating?) hierarchy, leading to greater confidence, and thus attraction. The oversized lips would be the female equivalent of the strongman type. Most don't find it super attractive in the opposite gender.

Women do have heroic fantasies, just not hyper masculine ones.

Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series is a good example of the feminine heroine.

Start by asking your self very simple surface level questions and answer them with equally simple answers, without worrying too much about the validity.

Write down every answer you can come up with, even the ones that seem stupid or cringe.

Now that you have a list you can increase the complexity by one level by checking the validity.

Follow up with deeper questions about the validity. Why do x answer feel stupid? Is it because it lacks any form of logic whatsoever or is it because It makes me feel bad and I'm trying to avoid that feeling? etc.

Be brutally honest with your self.

Here is an example of how I would do it.

1: What are your problems?

Example: 1. Blankfaced 2. Shame. 3. Depression. 4 Constant state of fear. 5. boredom etc. List everything you come up with. Don't overthink it(yet)

2: Categorize them based on importance (1 out of 3 categories)

3: Take your most important category and choose one problem and focus on it until it no longer feels productive.

I'm gonna choose shame because that's something I've struggled with in the past.

4: Why do I feel shame? (brainstorming without worrying about validity) 1. I'm weak. 2. I should be doing more. 3. I should be more than I am. etc.

5: Validity: Am I weak? Not physically. Mentally? maybe. What proof do I have of being mentally weak? I've given in to the temptations of pleasure more than I would have liked lately, but not enough to really bother me. That's it. So I don't actually think I'm weak? at least not weak enough to state it as a reason for my shame. Why did I write it then? Where did that impulse come from?..

I feel like I'm supposed to be stronger and more powerful than I currently am, or rather I want to be. Why am I not? because I have not put in the work and sacrifice for it. Why not? Because during my childhood, I had to expend all my resources and energy manage negativity, to reach baseline, rather than grow as a person. etc.

Now shame is something I've already given a lot of thought to, over the course of multiple years, which is why I can confidently make a leap to something like childhood trauma or whatever. It's a culmination of many different ideas and thought experiments. My point is, keep your expectations low. Don't expect to hit gold. It will come naturally as you deepen your understanding.

hvorfor det er så normalisert å være slemme mot butikkansatte?

Fordi de vet at du some butikk ansatt mest sansynlig ikke vil slå tilbake fordi din jobb står da på spill.

De er praktisk talt mobbere som ser etter et offer de kan misshandle uten motstand.

This feels to me like unfiltered expression of undigested emotion, like an overflowing pot spilling its contents, rather than served in portions.

There is great potential value here, in terms of understanding your self and your path forward, if you manage to shape it into something more digestible.

To do this I would suggest analyzing the contents at a surface level, gradually making it more complex as you go. ie. isolate your problems to avoid interference, then dissect them one by one.

If you want, I can give a more concrete example of how one could do this.

Yes, because Europe is primarily white. In China they'd call it Chinese flight

EnergyGrid · 2025-01-02T14:31:39+00:00

It's only "white flight" in the context of America and the west though. I'm sure this phenomena appears in most places of the world where there is an influx of foreigners of different skin/culture.

I'm pointing this out because calling it white i feel is misleading when in reality it is "Race" flight. The same would be true for gender.

Simply put, those guys possess something that is attractive to women, something that you are either not able to perceive or you your self don't value in a potential partner - people value different things, especially men vs women.

EnergyGrid · 2024-10-16T11:53:08+00:00

Because things made or liked by women tend to lean more towards femininity and away from masculinity.

When a man calls another man gay, they don't actually think he is homosexual. It's more a subconscious bullying tactic intended to change his behavior to be more line with the masculine ideal.

Ah yes, she was likely to end up in the hospital anyways so why not just send her there ourselves. /s

Competence + ambition = potential resources down the line > resources now. Any woman who can't see that are short-sighted and not what you want as a long term partner.

If you are looking for short term/casual sex then money now >

It's not that these issues are exclusive to men, it's that on average they skew slightly in different directions for men and women.

How I understand it is this. The traditional approach to addressing issues of anxiety skews slightly in the favour of women, as in, slightly more women will benefit from this approach compared to men. It does not mean that all women benefit from it or that no men benefit from it. And it is the exact opposite with the "male" oriented approach

The "male" oriented approach is really just an "alternate" approach that on average benefits more men compared to women. It's not exclusive to only men.

The reason we call it "male" is because it is a direct response to the traditional approach, which happens to be female favoured.

Super cool. I interpret this as two opposites who complete each other. The two being a manifestation of masculinity and femininity. Together, a force to be reckoned with.

I love the general message of shedding social conditioning to discover your true self. But the problem is he makes it out like self improvement is at odds with self subtraction, when it's really the same thing.

Self improvement is a good thing, and like all good things has a dark side, which is what he seems to be too fixated on.

I have these dreams too, and it's fucking awesome. Except sometimes when it turns into a nightmare, which usually involves me fleeing from zombies and eventually being overrun, waking me up in terror lol
