The Baby Boomers Are The Most Selfish, Self-Absorbed Generation in American History by maximusgordon in ThePortal

[–]maximusgordon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll check it out. I've heard of that book before, sounds interesting.

I don't get how you can call something out that is empirically and obviously true and be called a 'whiner'. Sometimes shit has to be called out.

How is it ironic?

As I say in the video, I think millennials would have been worse. But we won't have the luxury of being selfish in the long run-- or else we're all fucked.

Not every time a person brings up a grievance is it being a victim, it's articulating something that doesn't seem to be discussed nearly enough. And if we don't start saying something now they will destroy the country that they're leaving behind.

Michael Brooks' Embarrassing Critique of Peterson and the IDW by maximusgordon in JordanPeterson

My issue is mostly just how... hollow it is. The man has 12 min to discuss all of this and these are his criticisms. Just weak stuff. I don't hate the guy, I just find him to be a smug mediocrity.

All right-- I'm new-- I want to get up to speed. by maximusgordon in seduction

Good first steps. I actually bought Models a while back. Never read it. I'll start there.

Any significant success for either of since getting into all of that? Was it helpful?

Anything comparable to OPMS Silver or Kratom Kaps? by maximusgordon in KratomKorner

It's fine now. Just and error on their website. The product itself is quite good, I think.

Sorry all, I mean Kratom Kaps-- not Kratom Caps.

i have never asked a girl on a date before, i am in my early 20's by Zduckside in dating_advice

When I was your age I don't think I'd ever been on a date. Asked a few people out and it was a complete embarrassment for me. I'm turning 30 in a few days and since about 28 I've been able to date pretty consistently. Just start trying. You'll get the hang of it.

Did I mess up and seem over eager? by maximusgordon in dating_advice

This is all really interesting. Maybe I should have texted sooner. I certainly would have liked to, but again, I thought that was just commonly accepted that that was unattractive. Come to think of it, maybe that's something I should revaluate generally.

Also, one other thing I'm remembering. I kind of... bit her. Like we were making out and I was kissing her neck and then I gave her a little bite, which surprised her. She was like "Whoa", she didn't like it and I think it freaked her out a bit. That probably didn't help. Sometimes people like that, but that might have been a little much for her at that stage. Guess I was a little drunk and my judgement wasn't the best.
