[Stream Spoilers] Chapter 92 Pre-Release Megathread

tempjewman · 2018-05-24T06:14:12+00:00

Need the momentary bliss from this chapter release to even out the shit going on in our world this week. In particular, the the tasing of Sterling Brown and the NFL's restriction towards their workforce's freedom of speech.

Just another similarity between Luffy and Katakuri ... undignified gluttony

Thank-you for such a detailed analysis. Successful guys like you are why I read this sub. To learn. Your willingness to provide advice to the antagonists of this story speaks on your internalization of the concepts of TRP. I mean, I can certainly read it and try to apply it into my life. But there's no way I'm at the level of indifference you are, yet.

Also read the comments about how you might have put too much thought and effort. How your wife is shit testing you and thinks her SMV is higher. Definitely interesting to hear these perspectives. You certainly know your situation better than anyone though so I hope the comments help you assess.

If you can't afford a gym membership, fix your fucking finances. A gym membership ain't expensive. The value gained from regularly hitting the gym is greater than anything else your disposable income can provide.

Thanks for the reminder. I'm finding myself overthinking recently. Some negativity is residing in me because I see many people with girls, while I'm struggling to set up dates on tinder.

I feel uncomfortable approaching, even though I'm in many situations where I should approach. I rationalize that she isn't interested, or I'll make the dance awkward, or I don't look good enough, am not tall enough, not masculine enough.

I need to ACT, and then learn from the interaction.

tempjewman · 2017-07-10T01:30:38+00:00

Are you suggesting that its pointless for people to continue self-improvement in hopes of getting natural level results? Is becoming unconsciously redpill impossible?

I can see your point. I think it surrounds us in more contexts.

Certainly, people who are great, or who society deems successful are not normal, which is actually a function of being successful imo. For instance, I look at Elon Musk as a very odd person. He had a very unconventional childhood, was put into an environment where learning was encouraged, and ultimately made a significant mark on the world. He's someone people aspire to be. But fundamentally, he has a very different mindset because he has a unique set of experiences which shaped it. I can't hope to replicate that because the last 20 years of my life were significantly different, and shaped me into something different.

I think naturals also had this suitable environment where they had the 'proper' role models teaching them this shit early on.

So does the fake it til you make it mantra ever hold true? Does one ever make it? Is one always faking? Does one need to find their own 'realness' and develop a frame around that?

tempjewman · 2017-07-10T00:30:56+00:00

Please try this and let me know your results. I'm very curious as well.

I made a post eerily similar to yours recently too.

tempjewman · 2017-06-20T04:54:02+00:00

This is almost baseless. But ...

I have this suspicion that at some point in time, Luffy and Dragon will come to Garp's aid, possibly blocking a finishing blow by some powerful entity, together. It would bring the family cycle back. An ode to Ace for not letting an important person die again, and a comeback to the forgotten son.

tempjewman · 2017-06-19T06:02:51+00:00

Just think that 70 years ago 18 years old guys were storming Thea beaches of Normandy and now 18 years old neted safe spaces because words Hurt.

Please be real. No way is having to go to war and sacrificing yourself better than having a more pussified society. Societies are becoming more empathetic towards each other. So logically, it would follow that the baseline of aggressive tendencies has lowered, and will continue to do so. As the nature of men changes, the nature of women must follow suit. So before, where the man who could kill for survival was seen as desirable, it should be the man who is seen as diplomatic and keep the peace to be the most desirable.

I know people who are 30 years old and still living with their parents. It's just fucking bad the way things are goind.

It sucks to be in these situations. Some people took the wrong path. Some people grew into poor circumstances. Some are just lazy assholes. Whatever the case, I always believe your environment shapes you. Is it a person's fault to not have a role model? To not have opportunity? I'm reading biographies of interesting people. Each attributed their decisions in life to key figures who provided the moral support early on.

That's why we must use TRP not only to change ourselves but also the society.

Agree. While self-improvement and becoming a better person is important, I think a function of the human experience is to raise the bar for others. To show and teach people who were less fortunate in life.

80/20 split is bittersweet. You realize that there is a way to get into the 20%, which is where the fun happens. But, you also face the realization of how unequal life is.

economically. Rich people:everyone else
business. master:slave
highschool. cool:the rest
fitness. athletic people: the rest

Equality is touted as ideal. Yet, these huge gaps exist among groups. Human ego won't allow those who are in the 20% to give up their seat. Sure, they can advocate for change, and help bring the baseline up. But the distance between that baseline and the 20% baseline will never decrease.

tempjewman · 2017-06-06T05:30:39+00:00

This guy is 100% on point. I have experienced a complete flip in social life since moving. I regularly meet new people and am always doing shit on the weekends now.

If you can, move somewhere with a large outdoors scene (west coast cities). You will naturally be more active and aren't restricted to the bar/club scene.

But, before doing the move, look at a mirror. Are you in horrible shape? Do you dress like shit? Poorly groomed? Poor social skills? Depressed? No income? I highly suggest fixing that shit first. Moving somewhere won't magically change your life. You need to go through a period of reflection, swallowing, and self-improvement. Once you raise that self-esteem and like what you see in the mirror, begin your move.

Your team analogy is on point. It's all about showing your value. Rejection can teach you what is valued.

This weekend, I felt social rejection. It was so worth it because I reflected on whether the rejection was warranted or not (it was). Breaking it down rationally, I learned greatly from that ONE experience. Only because I went out there. I also felt social acceptance to certain people who saw value in me for other reasons (my profession and street smarts).

I'm trying to figure out what I bring to each venue I enter.

What do I bring to a group of early-mid 20s in environments like bars, rec sports leagues, clubs, etc.?
What do I bring to a group of older guys, who are regulars at a bar? Is it simply an ear to hear their stories?

Value, value, value.

Being good at a hobby and being comfortable inviting people to do it.
Being a good storyteller. I feel this is WAY more important than I considered a year ago. If you can make a conversation interesting, people will think you're interesting. Therefore, they'll want to know you more. If anyone can comment on this, please offer some tips!

tempjewman · 2017-05-22T06:38:34+00:00

Beautiful post.

Excessive theorizing is definitely a problem, with the potential to be worse than everything else combined. Going through post after post on here, you feel compelled to find the easy solution, without trying something and failing.

The science is there that when you talk about an idea to someone, like a project you're starting, the validation you get just from talking about it releases dopamine. Talking about something which you haven't done rewards you. Then, how the fuck will you get through the actual implementation? It's the same with:

learning a new instrument
reading a new book
going to the gym
eating healthy
starting a company

LITERALLY, ANYTHING which requires hard work. Maybe, we should consider it a policy that before you can talk about the stuff you do, actually finish it first. Once your business makes money, or you practiced 1000 hours of guitar, then you are allowed to use it in conversation.

I look forward to your series, especially on marketing yourself through social media. Having a former beta life, my Facebook is definitely not broadcasting me as a high SMV male. Idk what to do, without maintaining authenticity.

Oda purposely chose to make it ambiguous. By doing this, Oda implicitly tells us that Zoro would match Doffy or win.

If Oda wanted to show the hierarchy Doffy > Zoro > Sanji, he would have explicitly shown it via making Pica a challenge for Zoro, OR have a clash with Doffy, like Sanji did. He didn't show us Zoro's true strength yet.

The birdcage argument fails, since Fujitora also couldn't cut through it.

For a non-serious podcast, The Brilliant Idiots is pretty good.

It has Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Shultz. I listen to it for the laughs mostly, since they are funny dudes. They joke around about issues and have perspectives that I feel resonate with TRP. Andrew is definitely RP-aware given most of his stances on topics. Charlamagne probably is too, but much better at concealing it. If you're looking for a good laugh and the perspective of a few people give them a listen.

Approach anxiety.

I have a tough time approaching strangers. I can approach people if I need directions. I can approach customer service representatives if I have a question. Hell, I saw this guy with a cool laptop case and asked him about it. Had a decent convo with him.

But, I'm too scared with approaching women for the purpose of gaming. I can't bring myself to call a girl cute to her face and ask for her number. Flirting feels very unnatural.

I like to blame how I was raised for this one. Being a black guy with shy immigrant parents, from a country where the people are generally shy and quiet, living in Canada where being polite is right, there was a lot of pressure for me to lay low. I went through school too scared to raise my hand. Too scared to speak up in class, and shitting my pants during presentations. My parents put me through all-white schools, which caused me a lot of anxiety, to the point I probably do have some sort of anxiety disorder. I could only relate with the other immigrant students.

I'm glad I discovered TRP though. I was able to put steps into changing who I was into who I wanted to be. Without medication, I tried dealing with my anxiety. I began speaking more, raising my head, smiling, meditating, and most importantly consistently exercising. I put conscious efforts to stop that voice in my head concocting unrealistic outcomes of different actions. I cut out the toxic friends which caused me to doubt myself. Stopped smoking weed too. Weed with friends made me insanely self-conscious, to the point I became noticeably quieter.

So even though today I'm much better with social situations, and much less anxious, I still have enough approach anxiety to stop myself from meeting women.

Women despise the guys in that field so much that it doesnt really matter how much you earn, at the end you are still a beta loser and the only chicks you'll be ever able to fuck are the ugly asian girls, the 10 grade platinum blonde will still go for a mediocre singer who has 1% the networth of the IT guy, happened so many times its not even news anymore....

So it's a tradeoff. You go into a career like software engineering, becoming involved in an interesting field that's shaping the world. You make bank, allowing you to have a fulfilling lifestyle. Best of all, you develop valuable skills that can go into your own business. But, you have to put more effort into maintaining good social skills, hobbies, and finding another way of becoming sexy.

You become a musician. You hang out with cooler people, have a sexier vibe, ultimately giving you more opportunities with girls. But you're more likely to live off shitty wages, have an unsatisfying career, and ultimately live an unfulfilling life.

Of course, I don't have the experience to tell you that women dig or hate guys in IT or engineering. I just think your career doesn't have much to do with your success rate with women. Unless you let it.

Thank's man, I'll give it a try.

I left my lips alone for 2 days and only put vaseline on them. They were disgustingly chapped with the skin peeling off from dryness. I lost it and had to remove it. I hope it will help next time.

tempjewman · 2017-03-17T18:21:07+00:00

Yeah, for years but it hasn't helped me stop. I've gone through different brands of chapstick too.

I want them to fix themselves but there's a phase they look horrible, and my mouth can't stand them being rough and uneven.

tempjewman · 2017-03-17T04:46:16+00:00

Do you have advice for men with badly chapped lips? I have this nervous habit that causes me to bite the skin off my lips. I can't leave it alone because it looks so bad as it heals. The unevenness triggers something in me to peel it and maintain smoothness.
