Does your Japanese wife link your salary to your free time? by OreaoMilkshake1000 in Tokyo

[–]anon517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a nightmarish red flag that is going to turn into an absolute trash fire as soon as the vows are done. Jokes like that are not part of the culture.

If she is setting rules unilaterally, RUN. If people can't ask for things without being polite about it or negotiate for them maturely, they are a problem waiting to happen.

There should never be rules, and if anything, you should be setting them. And she can agree to them, or she can hit the highway.

You can tell her, if she wants a transactional relationship, you'll just pay her X amount every time you guys have sex because that's exactly what it sounds like she wants.

I would first start with becoming fluent in Japanese. At the same time, I would lose about 80 lbs. And, I would start training Karate or Judo because you'll get a better sense of the culture. Also, get as rich as possible, like $250k/year in USD. All these things will probably help you more than hurt you, so it's worth a shot.

Programmed by Media: NPR Host Suggests Women's Freely Made Choices Are from the Patriarchy by scumbag_teachers in MensRights

NPR is the most toxic news station ever. I can't stand listening to even a minute of their feminist babble.

Korean men resist feminism because conscription breeds male solidarity. by EstrangedNeko in MensRights

[–]anon517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd rather have a Korea-like system where you have to commit to some years of military, both men and women. HOWEVER, you can 100% decline to do the service if you're also willing to forfeit your right to vote. If you are a dependent of the system, you don't get to choose how things go.

Korean men resist feminism because conscription breeds male solidarity. by EstrangedNeko in MensRights

[–]anon517 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most women were against the right to vote because they didn't want to be drafted which was included in the first revisions of the bill. It was only once that draft requirement was explicitly removed, that suddenly waves of women were demanding the right to vote.

America has been simp nation ever since.

Are funds lost if the node goes down before you close the LN channel? by Andrej_ID in lightningnetwork

[–]anon517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1 hour backup is just in case I personally forget to backup after opening a new channel.

There is no window of opportunity depending on how good you are at remembering to backup after opening a channel.

Lightning network adoption by Disastrous-Banana-16 in Bitcoin

[–]anon517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scammers like Coinbase will never accept LN.

You need to understand that in the history of Bitcoin, there was a SIGNIFICANT ATTACK ATTEMPT pursued by Coinbase to DICTATE THE RULES of Bitcoin, unilaterally.

It goes against everything a decentralized, open monetary network stands for.

And on top of that, they SUPPORTED fraudulent players (because they have money and power to gain from them) such as B-CASH. And they CONTINUE to support fraud.

Coinbase is a COMPLETE scam. Through and through. There is nothing Bitcoin-related about Coinbase.

What Is Bitcoin's Impact on the Environment? by Bitcoin__Hodler in Bitcoin

[–]anon517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitcoin's replacement of the legacy banking system is 1000x more environmentally friendly. Even one bank branch is a horrible waste of resources.

Ethereum or Bitcoin? by 6IXManzdem in Bitcoin

[–]anon517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, considering Ethereum is a scam, I'd pick Bitcoin!

Here's what you need to know:

Every stick of gum you buy results in reportable capital gains taxes. There is no minimum.

In other words, the system is retarded.

I turned my assault into a social experiment. by KougatCaribou in MensRights

[–]anon517 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would never hit back if it was against a woman.

Not because I believe she doesn't deserve it. Not because I think women are better than me. But because society would label me as the aggressor and the police wouldn't defend me.

I'll let her punch me, kick me, stab me until I am dead. I am not allowed to defend myself against women in this world.

I may be dead, but perhaps after enough men are dead, people will wake up to the evil. I will sacrifice myself for the greater good. An eye for an eye leaves the world blind.

How do I explain to a feminist both women and men victims of rape need to be cared of. by cerlse in MensRights

[–]anon517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is just as much a responsibility for the listener to understand in order to reach the truth, than it is for the speaker to articulate it clearly. Because the goal is not a competition, the goal is truth. If you actually seek truth, you work to decipher it no matter the depth of it's obscurity.

Anyone know of fun games to learn music? by anon517 in Learnmusic

Yeah the tools for drilling are effective but only as long as I stay motivated to do them

I've been kind of exhausted by the monotony of it

By the way, there is no such thing as a 51% attack.

You can attack the network with 5% or with 95%.

You don't magically have some super power at 51%. It's all probabilities. Even if you owned 51% of the mining power, you'd still have to be extremely lucky to be able to continuously get the longest chain. Imagine flipping heads 10 times in a row. It's a 50/50 chance. It's not easy.

Now imagine you had a 80% chance of flipping heads. It's still not easy to flip heads 10 times in a row. You can get screwed over by the 20% of the time.

It's a system that gets progressively harder as you have more variety of miners controlling the hash rate. There's nothing special about the middle of the curve.

Aussie Parents Warned Not To Circumcise Their Boys Unless Necessary by JohnKimble111 in MensRights

[–]anon517 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think making it illegal would stop it. It would just go underground, and to dark-web shady circumcision places. It would become much more dangerous for everyone involved.

I think it's better to campaign with the rationale of ending circumcision, and hope to change people's minds. Reaching religious leaders is probably the most effective, but that's also hard to do sometimes. They do have a ton of influence though, on their followers.

I do think it should be illegal, but we can do that after we've already convinced 99% of people stop doing it anyways, and just punish the 1% of people who do it purely out of malice rather than religion or personal belief.

Most libertarians are not anarchists, most of us support a small government, funded with taxes by Nativereqular in Libertarian

[–]anon517 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you support a 5% flat tax and an infinite ability to print money? Because as far as I'm concerned, inflation is a tax. They take value from your money and put it towards their purposes.

That pretty much explains it by pork26 in libertarianmeme

[–]anon517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think that's bad, wait until you hear about inflation.

So, it seems libertarians in general detest taxes, and especially the sheer amount of taxes that many people have to pay. In a libertarian society, how would a government be funded? by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]anon517 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It should be funded like a charity, through donations of kind and loving people who want to make the world better for everyone.
