Meta: I think it would be a good idea if this subreddit's policy officially discouraged messages like these. They contribute nothing positive to the discussion. If we're going to pat ourselves or each other on the back (or tear each other down), we should at least have some specific insight to contribute to the topic set by the original post. Otherwise we're just playing the monkey game of "look at me! I agree!" or "look at me! I disagree!"

I know I'm going to die. I know that I'm going to die, probably before I get laid again, and almost certainly before I manage to make anything of myself. It doesn't help.

I led a team of 24 people, constructing a giant geodesic sphere in the middle of the beach, stuck a trampoline and aerial silks inside, grilled a shitload of bison kebabs, and threw a huge ass beach party for 100 people. I'm up to 5 pull-ups per set before tiring. I'm consistently maintaining good posture at least 80% of the time. I closed an operations manager contract gig for two weeks in the UK for $3,000, plus all travel expenses paid, plus room and board. I managed to hold my own for 6 full…

Slate Star Codex is an excellent blog for True Seeing. A word of warning, though: there's a lot of things that the redpill gets wrong. The SSC crowd doesn't get them any more right, but exposing yourself to those people will make it more painfully clear where TRP doesn't see the whole picture. This is dangerous, because swallowing TRP as a coherent frame is part of what makes it work. It's probably only 70% accurate, but it only works if you believe it's at least 99% accurate. And as a pragmatic…

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure what goes into male facial attractiveness other than symmetry and lack of pockmarks - and I'm probably way too familiar with my own face to judge it against others. Is there an objective way of 'being honest with myself' about facial attractiveness?

Rip the "bad cop"s jaw off and jam it into his eye, then choke the "good cop" to death with the bad cop's tongue. Then shit in their eye sockets and make the 18 year old girls suck the shit out until they choke to death, while masturbating on top of the police cars that show up. Grunt at the police officers while you fling your jism on them, then drop trou and shit-smear "YOLO BITCH" on the windscreen of the police cruiser with your asscheeks. Alpha as fuck.

You are not special. This one is a core principle. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you're the main character in some big movie because all you see is your own point of view. You aren't. 1a. There will always be someone better than you. If you're in their way and they notice you, you're fucked. 1b. There will always be someone worse than you. If they're in your way and you notice them, and you decide to be merciful, do NOT assume that this will buy you any kind of reprieve from the ne…

Yeah. I was 17, a bunch of girls made up a fake 12 year old girl (as in the 'victim' didn't even exist) and reported me to the police, police showed up to question me, my parents believed them, it turned out that the victim was made up and the police knew it, my parents refused to believe that that's what happened, so they grounded me for a year and brought it up whenever they wanted to fuck with me about anything (like me wanting to go away to college).

Trust me, it's not. There's tons of cutting-edge psych research that will walk you through how to game people, and how to not be gamed. Businesses pay big bucks for that. If you're going to go ahead and get a 4 year degree, you may as well spend some of that money signalling that you know those skills - even if you actually picked them up outside the classroom. On that note, here's a partial reading list for people who want a better user's manual for your (and other people's) brain: Thinking, Fa…

Network security is a good field, but minor in psychology. Then when you graduate, emphasize that you took psych courses to understand social intrusion techniques, and leverage yourself into a more senior position from the get-go. Also, if you're 25, and you're going to a state school with a bunch of 18 to 22 year olds, leverage that.

Yeah, but I'm telling you right now that in my cohort, the guys who dropped out of college to join a tech startup are outperforming the guys who stuck it through to get a CS degree. The key is to actually do something - build a useful app, write a fun game, be someone that people can hang a story on. I got in the door at my last gig before this one because I wrote mods for Kerbal Space Program, and my boss's son played that game, so I was instantly more than just some guy with a degree from a ra…

They know algorithms, they know something they call UX design, but they don't know how to figure out the right solution to the problem. You want to learn to program? Fucking learn to program.

Oh, and some caveats: You need to prove that the change you made saved the company money, but don't think that they're letting you get away with it because you saved them money. No, they're letting you get away with it because you back up your actions. You buck the status quo, they challenge you, you throw down figures like a boss.

Internal tool development for a Bay Area tech startup. It's technically a software job, but most of my expertise comes from not listening to my supervisors, figuring out what the other employees actually need, and then building it for them. Which means that the CTO and the CEO love me, so I can continue to basically do my own thing.

I only touch it when something fucks up (like my car getting totaled by a psycho ex). I started my job seven months ago, flat broke.

Remember that humans - men and women alike - don't tend to process social dynamics in terms of facts; they process in terms of narratives. Our culture has lots of narratives to pull from, mostly provided by the media for the past century. You need to look a part, and then act that part, and then have the resources to back that act up. You need to find someone famous who you could emulate, and then own that narrative by incorporating parts of yourself into it. The narrative role women are most lo…

How's this: life's tough and unfair, and you either overcome it or die. Alimony and feminism and such are just more things that you have to overcome before (or until) they kill you. Life doesn't care if the tests it throws you are fair, and it doesn't care if it didn't prepare you for them. It doesn't even care if it lied to you about them. It just fucks you over, and then you're done. The fact that someone is failing should earn contempt, not pity.

Not necessarily; some of us have sufficient mental impairment that even our own decisions aren't "completely up to us".
