This is why you keep hearing the same voice actors over and over again, especially in dubs of anime and Japanese games. It gets to the point where it starts to become jarring and take you out of the experience. I think Matt Mercer has a pretty impressive vocal range, but good grief I've listened to him talk for hundreds of hours now and I could pick out his timbre anywhere, no matter how skilled he is at hiding it.

You are correct. In my experience it is without fail because they had a good father whom they could rely on and respect. If they spent their entire childhood trusting and loving their father, of course it's a lot easier for them to trust and love a man in a marriage.

No. Please read my reply to the other guy who asked the same question.

You're right, all of those things you mention are symptoms of the decadent, hedonistic age in which we live. However, as was very eloquently stated in another similar topic posted today, it is not the place of government to be regulating these moral failings. In a properly structured society, that role should belong to the community and the church.

The disease is modernity, the symptoms are things like loli and overreliance on escapism. Legislating those things away is 1. not going to fix the hollowness in people that caused them to exist in the first place, and 2. going to give the powers that be (which are hostile to us conservatives in particular) yet another excuse to regulate the internet and free exchange of information.

That is why I said there are far more pressing issues to fix before we consider what randos on the internet are jerking off to.

Probably not relevant to this story in any way, but I have an IKEA drinking glass somewhere which says 'Made in Russia' on it. Probably the only thing I own which says that, always thought it was interesting.

This is a very insightful post. Well said.

While I like anime, I personally think loli is gross, but I've literally never said a word about it. You know why? Because I don't punch right, ever. We have far, far more pressing issues than weirdos looking at weird cartoons. OP is absolutely right, the left laugh at us any time we get into one of these purity fights, because they know it weakens us.

Do you think that an average IQ person often gets genius confused with social ineptitude, then? Or does genius come with social ineptitude as a byproduct?

Both are definitely overdiagnosed to the point of absurdity, but don't you find that brilliance is often attended by eccentric behaviours? Brilliant people certainly seem to sacrifice normal social operation in exchange for that extreme cognitive ability.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a personal experience with ADHD. I hope that you can overcome it without drugs.

My wife had a brief experience with ADHD when it was a popular diagnosis among children in America. Whatever drug her mother put her on made her have shivering and twitching fits. She used to pretend to take the pills and stuff them in the house's HVAC vents, lol. Thankfully her father was responsible enough to put a stop to it when he saw what it was doing.

Interesting. Thanks for the personal story.

You're right. Men need to remember that all male/female relations are driven by deep biology. Women are hardwired to seek stability, even if they don't know it consciously. Their goal is to create a safe environment for raising children. As far as a woman is concerned, confidence = stability, and wealth = stability. That's why it's so attractive to them. It's also why they can be insufferable consensus builders.

Men are mostly only concerned with genetic fitness, which is why we go for looks and youth.

Obviously you should try and improve your own understanding of the world and become a morally upright person, but doing that is not a prerequisite to attracting a woman. Plenty of morally repugnant idiots are very successful with women solely due to their self-confidence. It just means they'll drag the woman down with them when they inevitably fail.

One thing that will absolutely guarantee you failure in looking for a good wife is giving a rat's ass what women's opinions are about basically anything. The reality is that self-confidence and forward momentum in your own life will vastly outweigh anything else a woman complains about when she thinks about what 'turns her off'. The best piece of advice I was ever given with regards to women is 'Don't listen to what they say, watch what they do.'

Women are plastic by nature; they will mould to you far more than you will mould to them. Changing yourself to suit another's tastes is womanly behaviour, hence it will lose you favour with women quicker than almost anything else. That's not to say you won't have to make changes when you marry a woman, because that's the nature of bringing two imperfect people together under one roof.

I am reminded of the story of Cain and Abel. Jealous, thoughtless destruction seems to be an urge deep inside humanity that civilisation fights to overcome. Where did you get that quote from by the way? It's a good one.

It's literally just old-fashioned jackboot intimidation tactics. The British government is getting sloppy and desparate. What happened to the subtle media infiltration? The 'nudge' unit? Perhaps they're starting to get hot under the collar.

Sorry to break it to you, but social media in general is a retarded cesspool.

This brings to mind that academic study somebody posted on here about how liberals are terrible at understanding the conservative point of view, but conservatives understand the liberal point of view pretty well, we just don't agree with it.

You're right. It is rare to find a woman who understands her own nature. Some of the more conservative ones who come from intact families with good fathers are more likely to be like this.

Ultimately, even men aren't the masters of their own house, though. Self knowledge is very hard.

Women are built for small communities. Actually, everyone is built for small communities, but women are particularly unable to handle a globally connected society.

Dude, Greece is the cradle of Western civilisation. As mediocre as they are today, you have to give them that.

Kind of interesting, this one, because if I was asked that question, I would probably say 'no', but not for the reasons the interviewer would expect. I'm not sure how much we can trust these numbers for that reason.

England's culture used to be superior, but it has been significantly debased.

This is the problem with supporting someone crooked like this for so long. Eventually they start to believe that THEY did it, and they don't need your help anymore. I say give him a cold wakeup call.

Well, the way I see it, such a negotiating tactic is no-lose. If your existing company isn't willing to dig deep to retain you, then you take the job. If they are, you get everything you had previously negotiated with the business, plus a raise.

It has worked for me on two different occasions, but you are correct in that it relies on a management structure that understands the value of its people.

The reason why I don't job hop isn't because I feel like a slave to the company I work for, it's because I have squeezed them to keep me. I have a personal relationship with the people above me, so it's a lot easier to negotiate because they have seen the quality of my work. At a new company, you are an unknown, so the employer/employee relationship is a lot more hostile.
