I feel like a lot of space stuff is a materialist distraction from solving earth problems

hey one idea with a parallel search is it would be nice to custom filter certain results
 
like I hate sites with paywalls, I would just add them to a list so they don't come up in search if I could

I'd tend to agree, although I think I've seen videos like this for some time now. I'm guessing the groin is more resilient than some thing.

Incidentally this is an argument against government welfare for humans, that such welfare may reduce a person's incentive to find work if they are given things they don't have to "forage" for. I note this with all sensitivity that humans are not the same as animals, but I think the analogy exists (some people were up in arms about comments made like this before, complaining that such a comment was equating humans with animals)

it is probably a crisis of meaning
 
but also I think in my own experience, it's kind of the raw aftereffects of some of these misandrist attitudes in society and squeezing of men financially at times and all that

lol I wish boomers would have just left us entirely alone, or done a good job as authorities
 
anarchy, or authoritarianism
 
instead I saw a weird mix of directing people towards materialism and destruction and compromise and so on

Oh yeah I forgot one motivation I had for these posts was to DEBOONK some things they said. Like that one reason why men are harming themselves is because society tells them to be strong and not get help from a therapist or open up about their emotions. This just sounds like misdirection and gaslighting.
 
Well at least in my experience of talking with school counselors, these people are just as confused about life themselves. So therapy to me is not helpful but maybe journaling is useful instead. Talking to a good man can be good instead though of course. But I've also experienced my emotions do jack squat to fix any of my problems, so I've felt less of them over time.
 
I just overall think the "you need help" narrative is a bit feminine. The reason some men don't get help is because they know they have to do the work themselves. No one will do the work for them in certain instances. So sure you can talk to a therapist but you're going to have to do whatever it is to fix your life anyway. I think instead a lot of these stressors are just nasty and guys don't know how to cope sometimes. So the solution isn't "therapy" so much as make it easier to be a man in society, not as worried about unfair divorce courts and being promoted in school and work to be able to make more to take care of themselves.

This is how i feel about them sometimes
 
absolutely destroyed a lot of things and have the arrogance to think they're the best and that no one can criticize or question their bad decisions
 
history will forget or shame this generation I think
 
on the other hand boomers were more white so I wonder if some people think that the anti-boomer narrative is an anti-white narrative

One stat says divorced men are twice at risk for taking their lives
 
So redpilled people here probably have no illusion about the danger of divorce; normies need to be redpilled about the dangers
 
Personally I'm ok with marrying, so long as you basically go in knowing it could end in a divorce, which drives up the cost of savings to prepare for a divorce, or maybe at least having an idea in mind of what to do if things go south.
 
I presume a lot of guys who don't have these plans would be more at risk.
 
Then another risk factor is an addiction like drugs, some of the deaths are drug overdoses. So like if people have drug problems here, are they getting help for them or is a forum like here a good place for men to talk to each other about that issue.
 
Financial strain is another one. So maybe a focus on building up a strong career to be able to weather any kind of storms or setbacks? Any tips or thoughts on boosting financial well being?
 
Do you feel lonely and have you found other people to connect with? I think there need to be more organized IRL general groups. At least I remember all these local clubs and private organizations that existed as kind of social outlets where people would go, but it doesn't seem like that has persisted in popularity with the younger ages (plus they don't have the leisure or funds for dues, probably).
 
What are some other risks and how could we make middle aged white men in general resilient to improve the statistics?
 
(Of course some of the problem is structural, the economy being strained by regulations and so on and so forth)
Some say they're white elders who dindu nuffin
 
Some say they had all kinds of power and made awful choices
 
For myself I had stereotypical experiences of boomers and some of them could have been humbler, more generous, kinder, more courageous, and so on.
 
The younger generations seem "lost" due to defective leadership of the older generations, although maybe it could be argued they have failed to "bootstrap" certain things.
 
But also I feel the boomers' parents were more of the ones that needed to prevent things that were happening, and they could have possibly parented better.
 
The boomer parent generation seemed to have the baton and dropped it, but then boomers ran far away in the wrong direction, then the generations coming after than have been simply a derivative of this aggressive lead in the wrong direction made by the boomers
 
Thoughts on boomers, or their parents, or the generations?

I think the argument is true and untrue
 
for some people, sure, they try to escalate to cp over adult porn
 
probably for the vast majority of viewers, this escalation does not happen
 
keep in mind that pornography viewership is high in both genders:
 
> And for adults, an estimated 91.5% of men and 60.2% of women report that they’ve consumed porn in the past month.
 
https://fightthenewdrug.org/by-the-numbers-see-how-many-people-are-watching-porn-today/
 
so I think there's probably a lot of people where this escalation does not happen
 
as for how to stop it, I think there needs to be more of a message over "just stop"
 
It requires prayer, fasting perhaps, exercise, good relationships, work, and so on - a whole bunch of things to keep people busy in life and satisfied and with the resources they need to quit

A kind of martial arts is practiced where men endure being hit in the groin

lol, funny you commented that, another response comment elsewhere was that this was another "eat the bugs" scheme to prevent us from having the "luxury" of daily showers
 
My view is showering may be less necessary depending on the life you live. Probably "dirty" parts of the body could be cleaned daily (armpits, etc.). The rest is less important and could be cleaned every few days maybe.
 
In the summer too UV rays I thought are cleansing, so you might feel less need for showering for that reason. And in winter you might be outside less to sweat, for those in cold places.

> How often should you shower?
 
> While there is no ideal frequency, experts suggest that showering several times per week is plenty for most people (unless you are grimy, sweaty, or have other reasons to shower more often). Short showers (lasting three or four minutes) with a focus on the armpits and groin may suffice.
 
> If you’re like me, it may be hard to imagine skipping the daily shower. But if you’re doing it for your health, it may be a habit worth breaking.
