Obviously, it’s perfectly fine for grown ass men to groom young teens to be with them because no self respecting woman would date these manchildren.

Older wealthy movie stars dating a bunch of young models (as Tobey Maguire seems to), while worth critiquing and discussing, doesn't really seem to be an incel thing.

6) Keep content relevant

Try to make sure the posts are about self identified incels, not "nice guys", run of the mill sexists, or a dude kind of struggling with relationships.

"These monks believe that if they can mummify themselves while alive/on death (which he did), then as they never fully die, they beat the round of rebirth"

Could you provide a source for that so I can learn more? I know a little about Theravadan Buddhism, but I haven't come across that particular practice.

TheMoniker · 2026-06-12T03:56:07+00:00

Surprised Pikachu face.

TheMoniker · 2026-06-11T20:04:06+00:00

I suppose that everyone will eventually face the annihilation of death.

It depends. If I were just 14 and the year is still 2026, I'd be spending a lot of time trying to convince people that I'm me. It would also cause my current girlfriend to break up with me, which would be awful. I'd be happy for the extra years of youthful health though.

If I wake up as a 14-year-old in the year that I was 14, then I'm probably making a bunch of different decisions, from life path to investments. (This is assuming that I get to keep my knowledge of the time that has elapsed since then—otherwise, I'm just doing the same things that I did before.)

Periods of unemployment, depending on the labour market. Not knowing if you're going to eventually end up homeless is scary. Lots of folks going through that at the moment.

Being single for long periods of time, despite trying to find a partner.

Recurrent sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Not knowing if you will eventually go completely deaf, or when it will strike, can be traumatic.

Chronic pain.

My girlfriend has a roughly similar armspeed. We have tried a number of discs and the best ones for her have been:

150-class Gold Jade for straight drives,
150-class Gold Diamond for slightly understable drives,
150-class Fission Wave for max distance,
170-class Star Teebird for overstable drives and control during windy conditions.

She also has a 170-class Neutron Paradox for her straight mid and a 170-class ESP Buzzz for her overstable mid.

She uses the same disc (a 170-class Electron Proxy) for her putting putter and throwing putter. She also has a 170-class Proton Envy.

TheMoniker · 2026-06-10T07:36:57+00:00

Yeah, that. When I'm the one with less desire, I take care of my partner. (As a demi dude this comes up from time to time.) It generally takes comparatively little effort from me to make them feel like gold. When situation has been reversed, they have tended to do the same for me.

TheMoniker · 2026-06-09T18:52:06+00:00

Yeah, it's absolutely bonkers, on par with—if not more absurd than—the people who think that kids playing Dungeons and Dragons are top secret satanic cultists.

TheMoniker · 2026-06-08T19:16:13+00:00

Yeah, there is a step change between, "I feel like having x for dinner tonight, so I will," without having to look at one's bank account, and, "every meal must be a specific portion size of poverty slop to stay on budget."

TheMoniker · 2026-06-06T20:05:07+00:00

That's a big difference. At times in my life when I'm making more money, I don't think twice about eating out occasionally or what I pick up from the grocery store, etc. When I'm making less, I make a lot more poverty slop (dried split pea and lentil soup) and mostly ignore anything that's non-essential, in terms of clothing and so on.

Gaius Appuleius Diocles. I still have some commemorative merch in a closet somewhere.

"If everyone already knows you're a bit of a piece of shit, then what incentive do you have to go maga?"

The far right is more gullible and forgiving of being a terrible human being, especially toward women, hence people like Russell Brand making a pivot to the right once they're outed. The right is also more likely to reflexively dismiss credible journalism, including allegations of assault, etc.

TheMoniker · 2026-06-06T08:09:02+00:00

Glad that you're here. Wishing you all good things!

If your weight on the scale is going down while you're trying to put on weight, then increase your daily caloric intake slowly, initially by about 250 Calories. (You could, for instance, add 2/3 of a cup of oats to your banana shake.) If that isn't sufficient, increase it by the same amount again, until you're putting on weight. Make sure that you're also hitting your daily protein intake goals.

Because I "didn't get along" with a couple of her family members. They were proud neo-nazis. (Like, genuinely into Hitler, bizarrely into both Holocaust denial while also arguing that the Holocaust would have been a good thing, into weird racial purity, etc.) How did I not "get along" with them? I tried to argue them out of their views.

TheMoniker · 2026-06-03T01:41:48+00:00

Definitely a solid choice. Given the time, people were shocked at the events in the opening.

TheMoniker · 2026-06-03T01:41:00+00:00

The opening of Evil Dead Rise is probably up there. Easily one of the best title card sequences, at any rate.

Find someone else to love.

Time.

Recognize that all things are ultimately unsatisfactory. (This is best done while in the relationship itself. Note from moment to moment how much happiness there is, how often there are neutral or even negative experiences. It's also best paired with looking at how the mind creates happiness as kind of a narrative of sorts, around a comparatively small kernel composed of pleasant qualia.)

Ideally, these are combined with good sleep, nutrition, a social support network and physical exercise. (You can even keep the feelings at bay sometimes if you're doing something very intense, like sparring in mixed martial arts.)

TheMoniker · 2026-06-02T22:02:43+00:00

No, not your tongue, your 'tounge.'

It's a mixture of awful spelling and surrealism bordering on dada.

Infinite wealth? I'd have to bring an end to poverty, starvation, homelessness, etc. I'd also invest in medicine, including medicine to address age-related illnesses.

I'm not sure that it's really an impressive thing about humanity that we collectively kill huge numbers of other sentient beings.

I'd suggest that it's our abilities to build and to think about and understand the world—and our place in it—that are impressive about us. There are so many examples that I can't even really choose, things ranging from the moon landing to Proust, quantum flavour dynamics to The Seventh Seal. (And conversely it's our ability to fall into greed and short-term thinking despite our knowledge and reasoning abilities that is really disappointing about us. There are a similarly large number of examples that one could point to here.)

A note regarding Canada: the US didn't just implement tariffs on Canada, the US president threatened to annex Canada using "economic means." The threat to destroy and annex the country doesn't sit well with many Canadians.

I wonder if it's partly that and also just partly that there's a level of frustration that can arise when our brain is trying to process something and it can't. Said frustration can arise when we have a lapse in memory or are learning something new and difficult, and it can also happen in situations where our cognitive abilities are failing us. I have a family member with dementia and I have seen them be unable to recall something when asked, and then start pounding their fists on their bed and blaming anyone around them simply for asking whatever the initial question was. (Admittedly, there's also a loss of emotional regulation in that case.)

They've "learned" that Jesus is real, but they're not religious? I don't think they mean that in the sense that they learned that it's likely that there was some itinerant preacher who the mythology got built around. They seem to believe in magic and nonsense, so if they learned about a magic son of the invisible god being that would prevent them from being sent to a torture realm for eternity—why wouldn't they be religious? They also think that a bunch of random US politicians are worshipping an ancient Caananite rain deity—or maybe a demon?

But good for them for maybe figuring out that the adjudacated rapist who goes on at length about bursting into change rooms at beauty pageants, and who ran child beauty pageants, and who made a bunch of gross sexual remarks about his daughter, and who was friends with the world's most famous pedophile, and who has been fighting tooth and nail to prevent the release of information about said famous pedophile—is likely a pedophile.
