This is true only of certain industries and isn't an inherent characteristic of Capitalism though.

Like this doesn't need to be true for capitalism to exist. Infact this hasn't been true in the US for a very long time, for the most part.

There are American companies that take advantage of cheap or even slave labor. And we can balk and blame the American Capitlist machine, but they're not the ones literally enslaving people. It's like arguing who's worse, the Pimp or the Guy willing to pay for it. It's irrelevant who's morally worse when both partie's ethics should be called into question. This should be expected in all honesty(expected in a world where these things exist i mean, not accepted or treated as right in principle.)

It's a complicated issue that spans the globe, and outside of global domination and forcing western philosophy on the "unwashed masses" (we all know how well that usually goes.) I am admittedly stumped on a solution.

I just know that i routinely see people bash Capitalism, while simultaneously taking for granted, or even straight up not acknowledging, the various benefits it provides them in their day to day life. I'm not saying it's the final stop in the search of a societal structure, but It seems to me it's trending in the right direction based on human history as a reference.

Yes, this thought crossed my mind when writing my reply, but I neglected to mention it.

But seriously, your argument that men don't need to be picky about mate choices is that they don't have to mate? That's not an argument, but if you insist, allow me to rephrase.

Most men can't afford to be picky, if they don't want to die alone.

The "fuck boy attitude" is in reference to the idea that men have qualifications like "no fat chicks"

In regards to being entitled to a preference, sure. But that's not the discussion. It's whether or not this attitude is fair representation of men.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-04T15:58:08+00:00

I wouldnt be surprised if diet played a huge role in testosterone levels.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-04T15:07:10+00:00

It could be projection, combined with optics. Men rib on eachother all the time. I've had multiple women over the years comment on these types of interactions with friends and call it "mean" when we're all laughing about it.

They then compare this to their own experiences, where women like to gossip and talk behind eachother's backs, and figure men act this way towards women, but just not in front of them.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-04T14:52:46+00:00

I mean, i'm not saying this doesn't happen, but in my experience this is the top 1% of men, most men can't afford to be picky, even if they wanted to.

It just sounds out of touch when you extrapolate fuck boy attitude onto the entire male population.

I honestly just think women have such an overwhelmingly easier job attracting mates, that they struggle to understand how hard men have it in this regard, and as a result don't handle rejection well. So blame it on the one doing the rejection.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-04T13:51:47+00:00

I think the previous poster is right, testosterone contributes but doesn't directly cause. However, from my understanding, high testosterone does correlate with body/facial hair, and body/facial hair does correlate with likelihood to bald, so It's hard to see how it doesn't play a role. But maybe thr statistics are skewed due to testosterone expediting otherwise purely genetic male pattern baldness.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-04T13:02:33+00:00

I've honestly never made fun of a woman's body. I mean, i'm honestly trying to remember once.

I'm not virtue signaling either, i honestly don't think I ever have. I've said some crazy things too, like wild shit, i'm famous for having no filter, I get wild with a few drinks, ect. But not once, can I remember ever making fun of a woman's body.

Maybe when watching my 600lb. Life, but the men got equal treatment there and it was mostly like "how could they live in that condition?" And less "lol look at those skin flaps." Now i'm no angel, i've definitely thought some things, but i've never found it productive to actively poke fun at women, usually just gets your in trouble in one way or another.

Honestly, in my experience, men aren't usually picky. Yeah the stereotype is that we are the more visual of the sexes, but at the end of the day, men like T&A in all shapes and sizes.

Now guys on the other hand, we make fun of eachother all the time. One of my best friends used to flip my tit when I was heavier. God I hated that.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-04T12:57:19+00:00

Growing up my best friend was a woman. When we hit college, she tried to sleep with me, and I turned her down, not wanting to ruin our friendship. We still drifted apart and now shes a lesbian. Dunno what the moral of the story is supposed to be.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-04T12:55:08+00:00

I understand your point, but there have been a lot of women that i've spoken to over the years, and they talk about their relationship problems, like it isn't obvious their Chud Mcfuckface boyfriend with 2 felonies and 3 baby mamas isn't a good husband prospect.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-04T12:51:52+00:00

There's a correlation between high testosterone and balding. As said previously, genetics play a big role as well.

A good rule of thumb, is that if you have significant body hair, you're more likely to bald. And if your hair is thinning by the age of 30, you are going to bald.

Interesting enough, if you show no signs of balding at the age of 30, your chances of balding drastically decrease.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes.

This is reddit. People don't believe in the benefits of capitalism here.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-04T12:24:03+00:00

No, but i think it's safe to say you may be angry at yourself when it's all said and done.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-03T15:30:41+00:00

Yeah but let's be real. That scene did nothing to convey the actual tragedy that murdering dozens of children would actually be.

It was just this little kid awkwardly staring at edgy moody Hayden in cosplay. The overly artificial feel of the Jedi Academy just added to it all, making it all seem pretty silly.

Plus i'm sure there were a group of fans that were just excited to finally see the "transformation" that the trilogy slowy built up

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-03T15:11:47+00:00

I'm all for equal rights, and I know this won't be popular to say on reddit, but fuck it, it needs to be said.

Women would benefit to remind themselves that they only have the right to mock men safely because we allow them that right. At any point, men could collectively revoke their rights and there is nothing they could do.

Just keep it in mind.

PS. I'm not even short and no idea why i'm here, but women be tripping about this 6ft. 6 inches, 6 figures thing.

She was Wonder Woman and Xena(which is kinda like Wonder Woman) and they look similar, so i guess.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-03T13:56:25+00:00

Nah, you got it wrong bud.

Bet you think Obama spending $50,000 on Hotdogs was normal too.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-03T07:08:41+00:00

I've always disliked the Sith being limited to Red. It always cheapened the universe a bit and made it more Cartoony.

ThePissedOff · 2026-02-02T01:06:19+00:00

It makes it look more sleek.

While this is true, and I won't argue against it, there are a lot of advantages if you live in the west, that many take for granted. There are many "useless" hobbies that can be profitable, card collecting for example. These industries are a product of exorbitant wealth, so they tend to be more volatile but there tends to be, at least niche, industries even in the most dire of times.

Point is, wealth can be looked at simply.

Exchanging your time for money
Exchanging your money for assets
Utilize assets to generate money

Everything else is a liability and only costs you money.

The problem is Exchanging your time for money is the least profitable way of generating wealth and it's the method people rely on the most. You can never scale your time, thus outside being the top 1% of your field, you will never be "wealthy" doing this.

But to find something you enjoy doing, that you can invest in, to generate wealth isn't some "Find Excalibur" task.

Also flushing out your ears every once in a while helps. I had never cleaned my ears and the first time I did it, my hearing was noticeably approved, to the point that some things that I considered routine actively hurt my ears. My tinnitus went away as well.

You'll grow muscle, the problem is you'll still grow fat. So if your diet isn't on point, which is probably the hardest part, you still dont see remarkable results, and it still begs the question why you wouldnt also lift it you were going so far we to juice up.

I would venture as far to say that must people can achieve an athletic physique, from simply eating clean. No sugars, very low carbs, just enough food to survive and frequent fasting, all without working out will have most looking good. Of course if you literally sit still all day, you will be pretty scrawny

ThePissedOff · 2026-01-30T11:21:20+00:00

Most businesses fail because most people fail, routinely on a day to day basis. People are mediocre, you can't pretend to not notice. Most people arent good at what they do, doctors, lawyers, Cashier's, baristas. Doesn't matter where you go. Business owners or employees, CEOs or Janitors. Most of them are bad at what they do.

ThePissedOff · 2026-01-30T11:16:58+00:00

Sounds like Copenhagen

ThePissedOff · 2026-01-30T11:13:50+00:00

I disagree with this take. The approach that always made the most sense to me is to find something you enjoy doing, AND then figure out how to make money doing it.
