A while ago it was brought up the joyful circumstances of numerous commentors here being married or in some other form of relationship. Some even had kids.

Question for you all, how hard is it nowadays to be in one (relationship), or get in one? The red pill media has, over the years, become very black pilled and sensationalist on the subject. Granted, with ever increasing feminism and a decrease in tolerance for male behavior I have noticed it getting a lot harder out there... but ia it anywhere near as bad as they say?

While we are at it, what the hell does everyone do for fun in the real world? Prices have gone sky high in America, especially rent and housing, and over the years I have noticed less and less people go out, especially those in their 20s and 30s. I like to hike and explore so sitting at home doing nothing but play video games, read and watch tv drivers me nuts after a while. Granted, society seems less friendly and more shut in nowadays anyways. Still, there must be some clubs or whatever that people do for fun, even if not as frequently as ye olden times.

All that hubbub from the left about AI and apps that read faces for personality traits (and the subsequent cries of racism/ sexism/ blah blah) have made me want to take a look. See what they say about my personality traits, background, whatever. Anybody have good links to any that haven't been banned or neutered yet?

What happened to the adventure books for boys and men that used to be so prevalent once upon a time? Did they get replaced by other media? Pushed out by female domination? Dropped by big companies for all the typical political reasons?

Barbie will make money. I went to the theaters to see Mission Impossible and the parking lot is swamped. All the high school and college aged girls have been filling th theater for days to see Barbie. Dressed in pink, all dressed up. Dragging their boyfriends, with super betas showing up to watch it on their own. I have ladies on Facebook who are posting all about it, mothers with daughters, random gals. They are showing up like it is Twilight.

What is everyone's opinion on those far from weak, artistic motivation, you too can become an alpha male, man's life starts at 30 videos that have propagated all over the place on YouTube? Although some of the advice is all right, and men certainly can improve themselves, they seem to just be more of the old tradcon "man up and do your part" crap that the blue pill normies push, as well as the old "you too can become an alpha male if you buy my 6 dvd set" grift. They also seem to be a subtle way to try and push men back into the dating and work market place despite them being such shit holes.

Problem is, why would any man take any risk in such a society or try and protect it? And why not become a criminal if a man "lives in the dark" and his only role is to grind? These arguments don't make sense based on past healthy societies, as healthy societies always tried to marry men off at a young age to keep them invested in society.

What say everyone? Is this some sort of grift, or coordinated attempt to push men back into society?

Much has been said in the past how the job industry has gone bonkers over the last couple decades. Jobs that didn't used to need college degrees require them, the crazy vax requirements, placing diversity requirements, etc. But when did the job titles get so fake and gay, and the job descriptions as well? Example, I was looking up jobs for hotels and there was crap like "food and beverage expert." The titles are fluffed up shit, and the descriptions frequently make no sense as well. When did that become the norm in America? For those of you not from America, is it like that in other countries?

Where did all of the Anglo leaders and upper class go in the west? Unz had an article quite a while back saying they died out. Moldbug claimed they got absorbed into the modern culture. Did they get pushed out, did they bend the knee, did they die off, what happened to the families and people who used to run the Anglosphere?

Is Atomic Heart any good? I want to get it just because the usual suspects are bitching about it.

Where did all of the western white warriors go, Machiavelli's lions? Did they get chased away by the Leviathan of the state, or was the system so exceptional as to destroy them all? Killed off in the world wars? Why is western society incapable of producing defenders, only parasites, foxes/ tricksters and NPCs/ normies?

Aside from them firing a valued employee because of some leftie shithead has anyone else had problems with Limited Run Games? I ordered River City Girls 2 from them and still have not received it. I have read comments from others on Youtube stating they too have not received River City Girls 2 yet even though the digital game has been out for a while now.

Off topic, but I got offered a promotion. Said promotion requires me to move a couple states away; a few days drive. It will help my career down the long run but requires me to say good bye to friends and family and is last second. Has anyone moved cross country for a job before, and if so, was it worth it in the long run?

How is anime, manga and Japanese video games doing in resisting the woke virus? A post from a while back said some Japanese companies were bending the knee to progressivism. Is it getting any worse?

Also, any anime recommendations? Been watching Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure, got up to the saga with Jotaro. I enjoy Goblyn Slayer, Berserk, Gantz, Cowboy Bepop, Hellsing, Fairy Tail and Dragon Ball. I prefer mature anime and protagonists with more traditionally masculine natures (such as deep voices). Old 80s anime could work too as I prefer anime where the characters look relatively realistic and human.

This is a broad discussion style post, but it is something I have been thinking about over the last year. There has been repeat discussions on which of the anglo countries are the most screwed (personally, I think it is America with Americans of European descent set to be no longer the majority in just a couple decades). All of the west has declining birth rates plus feminism and other leftist thought having replaced Christianity. I know this is an incredibly vague topic but I am curious as to how the various western countries are fairing compared to each other.

Saw the Black Adam trailer. Hawkman and Cyclone have been turned black. Add Cyclone to the gingers turned black list. You can confirm this via looking up the trailer, wikipedia or tv tropes.

The trailer also has Hawkman tell Black Adam heroes don't kill when he is one of the more savage super heroes. Not liking the way this film looks so far, Dwayne Johnson and Pierce Brosnan aside.
