Fantastic job, and I have side hustles in art commission work and some novel revenue.

Not even 30 yet, so it can only go up from here.
I'm currently capable of visiting 5-6 countries a year. I'm aiming to be able to increase that to 10 by the time I'm 30.

This is what it looks like to take accountability, take action, and not be a loser who smokes pot.

Theres alot of people who do at least one of those thinks, smoke, drink heavy, do hard drugs, are overweight.
42% of the population is obese
22% of the population uses nicotine products - cigs, vaping, etc
13% of the population uses hard drugs
17% of the population binge drinks

Exactly.
With free healthcare, as things are now, the deathrates would skyrocket due to the waiting times (Even more than they are now) that would naturally come with it.

Which would probably just equalize itself because if enough people pass away due to inability to receive treatments from those excruciating wait times, less and less unhealthy people will be around, making said wait times more manageable.

I mean... it's why other countries with free healthcare work so well: their citizens don't have more health issues on average. USA's got a ton, so they have to pay to get treatment in a reasonable amount of time.

Posts like yours are why I'm glad I broke out of that victim mindset that my community (black) tried to instill in me. I pity you.

I honestly never understood why border control was considered a conservative viewpoint. Im pretty liberal, but Im all for boundaries.

Most of the world is like that, from all angles. You need border restrictions because a country only has so many resources, but they need to make sure the person they're letting in will be a benefit and not a hindrance to society. They've gotta care for their own natives first.

Even the USA when it's strict, isn't that strict compared to the rest of the world. Singapore, the Scandinavian countries, Japan--so many have incredibly strict rules that would make the USA blush for who they allow to immigrate or not. Because it can very easily lead to lack of housing and job opportunities for the natives who need it depending on how much they relax said rules.

Hell the USA's often called one of the easiest to immigrate to, and that was before the recent relaxation on immigration processes.

Being fat your whole life.
Being unambitious your whole life.
Quick to blame others and not take accountability your whole life.
Having most of your friends be lolonlineonly friends your whole life.
Being convinced that success is based on chance to avoid having to put in work yourself your whole life.
Always opting for the easy route and wondering why you're not getting the results you want your whole life.

Among others.

Gotta mute notifications on my phone often 'cause people either want to have a conversation with me or meet somewhere to hang out.

"Consent" in this case means "being a fat, disgusting individual with no self control or discipline."

Probably blame everything else for why they're fat and not the exercise they don't engage in, their "no free time to do what I want" despite spending 2+ hours a day online, or the little debbies they keep shoving in their mouths. Probably believe "big boned" is a thing too lmao

Tbh. I dunno why DBZ is the only anime allowed to have games.

Probably because the many games for other series all stay in Japan on consoles, handhelds, and mobile.

But then they never make it overseas since no one plays them in Japan 'cause the games largely suck ass, so they never even get considered to be brought abroad.

Then there's no such thing as an RPG video game since you're also playing a premade story.

False.

Dungeons and Dragons is the epitome of an RPG, practically the first that laid the groundwork for every RPG you see today, with systems seen in every RPG imaginable that have stood the test of time to be used to the present day. And its progression is largely at the whim of the DM's narrative and world. A premade story doesn't matter as long as the participants can actually roleplay in the world with consistent meaningful choices that can heavily impact the narrative (And not just a few instances: I mean consistently), hence why they're called "Role-playing Games".

JRPGs do not allow that. Learn the history of RPGs first before you comment on the genre.

Probably because since the trans community is so small, few IRL know or even care. And because few know or even care, statements like this dont get out to the public because even they know few know or even care.

Its like how someone as world-renowned as JK Rowlings statements arent known becausewait for itfew know or even care. Extremely few people looked at Hogwarts Legacy and thought Trans comments? Hell no/yeah, I wont buy/will buy this for that alone! No, they thought, Oh neat, a Harry Potter game.

The worlds a lot bigger than just a small area of the Internet that most arent even gonna see. No amount of middle-aged users on a dying video game forum are gonna change that.
Shocking, I know.

No.

It's even better than I thought.
The sheer amount of options individuals have and can/can't do, that are in your control and can be manipulated to BE almost entirely in your control is unreal.

Of course, lazy f***ers won't know that, and think it's all chance. Sucks to be them: must be awful to live and die convinced that you can't change anything yourself.

"I can't get successful. It's all chance. Brb gonna complain about it and wonder why I hate my life while doing absolutely nothing to research my methods to improve my chances to get published/get my artwork known/get more money/exercise more/etc.."

Losers.

Nah

Religion in general instilled firmer morals in societies the world over, from Buddhism to Christianity.

If it werent a thing, thered be a hell of a lot more wars and people getting hurt or killed without its influence. The fear of spiritual or otherworldly punishment is much stronger than its worldly counterparts.

Yes, people got killed in the name of religion. But the overall effect has been incredibly positive.

Besides, if it werent religion, humanity would find SOMETHING to kill and conquer for, whether its their own country or another cause.

Very likely. And deservedly so.

One of the issues is that women aren't generally taught to actually date like men are. Y'all are "pushed" to seek out serious relationships, as opposed to enjoying the dating process and learning what it is you really want (and also just have fun!) This also makes dating more adversarial than it should be.

That's because there are inherent biological differences between men and women that's understood at a primal level amongst humans. And even if one side or the other is taught something, biology will have some degree of sway over it.
It's like how roughly 80% of criminals come from single mother households: you can teach the child to respect the mom alone. It's very, very possible. But the fact is that the father tends to innately helps act as the disciplinarian, and the child's more likely tor respect their wishes. There are exceptions, but biology has a strong impact on a lot of stuff.

Women are pushed and more inclined to seek relationships for mating purposes. By the time they're 30, roughly 80% of their eggs are gone. There's a reason that after 35, if they express interest in having children, every doctor worth their salt will sit the woman down and tell her she's now considered a "high-risk pregnancy".

Men are more likely to pursue casual relationships because, biologically, men can produce healthy children for far, far longer into their life, and don't outright lose the ability to do so until they are incredibly old.

These two differences are compounded by the fact that males can get multiple women pregnant, but a woman can only get pregnant once, and can't do so again until the 9 months is up.

The last biological difference is the big reason why the vast majority of cultures in the world throughout history protected a woman's virginity or encouraged less partners for women: the insurance of paternity. It's biologically-ingrained in men that a promiscuous woman increases the chances that the child is not theirs. However, you can always tell that the child is the woman's for obvious reasons.

Those combined are why men on average tend to prefer younger women: fertility to produce children, higher chance of strong offspring (Not high risk), and paternity assurance.

There are exceptions, obviously. But in general, that's how and why it works the way it does, and carries on to this day through men being more prone to casual relationships (Their ability to spread their seed) and women being more prone to serious relationships (More limited reproduction ability)

Lastly, and this doesn't show up nearly as much any more, but women tend to seek serious relationships for security purposes. This stems from centuries, millennia ago, where the world was far more unforgiving. Because men are physically superior on average, it meant she could be protected, and he could protect their children. Because the strength, stamina, and endurance differences between men and women, especially in those days, was immense. This carried on into the recent days with women preferring men (On average, not all) who are tall, good-looking (Good genetics to pass on), have resources to use on the family, are fit, etc.

Hell, you can see it in East Asian cultures especially. In Japan, they call women over 25 Christmas cakes, 'cause no one wants a Christmas cake after the 25th. (Because she's less fertile but again, it's not a hard rule and there are exceptions obviously)

Hell no.
Fat people are gross.

You can tell the dude who made it has legitimate, good friends. Because this sounds like how best friends interact and argue.
Phenomenal banter.

Fire Emblem isn't a JRPG

The "JRPG" label's completely pegged nowadays.
There's almost no universal agreement on what makes one, everyone's definitions are different, and in those very definitions are contradictions.

The JRPG reddit's right: "JRPG" just means "videogames in general" at this point lmao

Loved it when I was in elementary school. Played it later and holy hell is that game flawed af

That game needs a complete remake, and an editor to not make every character sound like Microsoft Sam reading the wikipedia article for every topic of discussion. The writing's balls.
The gameplay's bleh
The story's got interesting concepts, but waaaaay too self-indulgent and thinks it's deeper than it actually is. It's like a teenager binged The Infographics Show channel, and just named every single thing in the game based on at least one video they'd seen from said channel as a reference or idea, so much so to the point that there's flimsy strands of relevance to each other.
And it overcomplicates events for no reason. Probably because every character speaks in just about the most awkward and inorganic way possible.

And no, don't tell me XENOGEARS SPOILERS it's because of Deus or some crap 'cause that excuse makes 0 sense with the other info we're given in that game.
Which, again: concepts with flimsy relevance to each other.

The second guy had some great delivery ngl

Probably 'cause it'd be nigh-worthless and still not pause anything due to the game being... y'know... always online.

You ever try to pause an online game?
Go ahead.
Try it.
The only one I know that let you pause it was Warcraft III. And they were allowed to kick you out after a few seconds.

In person.

Tinkerbell is BLACK

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/5/3/AAZaD9AAEOnl.jpg

I feel bad for the kids who see this temporary representation, think "Omg she looks like me!", go to Disney World, and wonder why Tinkerbell is white.

"Woke" is basically acceptance to a draconian degree, and jumping on anything to feign support, when in actuality they just do it for themselves. Harass and shame people for not tolerating your views, but you won't do the same for theirs. It's full of bitter, angry people who are disguising their own hate and misery under the guise of caring about others. (See: doing the absolute bare minimum for the causes they support online, but offline where it actually matters they won't make a sound)

Note that this is NOT the general principles of the left. Whereas the left means well and are reasonable like the general principles of the right, the woke left is basically the equivalent of the far right: extreme ideologies of their sides to the point of intolerance. To that end, they are some of the most hateful, intolerant people on the planet who don't care about the people they claim to help; they just wait until the next thing they're told to be mad about to point all their frustrations at.
Hence why none of them do anything outside of self-important online posting to help those causes. They can't hate by volunteering to help refugees; they can't hate by donating to charities; they can't hate by buying food for the less fortunate. Of course not, because it's really all about them being able to vent their awful lives while seeming righteous by doing so.

Look at Hogwarts Legacy. Not a single one did any meaningful thing to even halt sales. They just jumped on it 'cause they were told to, it let them hate something, claim to be trans supporters, and then ditch it in a few days.

How's that a republican thing?

That's too much work.
Gotta go for the least strenuous route that yields the highest degree of of self importance. I'm sure the millions offline who don't even know about the controversy will surely be swayed that way.
Nah, crusade for change online, where after a few days support's dwindled to almost nothing, it stops making headlines, and everyone on both sides move on with their lives; to the point that trying to rally behind the cause again will just irritate both you supporters/former supporters and opposition/former opposition alike for still being stuck on it.

Talk to them about whatever.

You don't ask this kind of thing for the clearly-less-popular choice.

Jackasses are liked because they're entertaining, particularly in the real world.
It's why they get women, get invited out, get looked up to, get consulted, etc.

What's the alternative? Being a CEman? Nice guys are garbage tier, and even the women preaching how they want nice guys are getting crammed by the jackasses 'cause they're fun to be around.

"Nice guys finish last" is a saying for a reason.

They're cool. I prefer them in a lot of cases.

Especially horror. Everything nowadays is jumpscare city. Yeah, I'm sure no one's gonna get "scared" if they suddenly hear a very loud noise+visual overwhelming their senses. That's like tickling someone and calling yourself a comedian.

And? That doesn't say if you're renting it from her or not.
Even if it's a shared housing situation, in homes there's often one person who's renting it out to everyone despite splitting the bills.

An adult with experience in the real world would know that lmao

The horror--how will socially ill-adjusted CE manage????

I dunno. Most religious people I've met are chill. The most I've ever gotten from them was delegating any judgment or wishful punishment to the discretion of their deity. (See: "God doesn't approve.", "You'll burn in hell for your beliefs." etc.)

But they're small time compared to others.
The only legitimately hateful, intolerant group I've ever met were, hilariously enough, the far left or "woke left".
More often than not, they argue from emotion rather than logic.
They will raise their voice and get aggressive if you corner their values or point out the flaws in it. Wanna see something hilarious? Try pointing out that the gender pay gap doesn't exist and has been debunked many times, so they're wasting their time since no one can fix an issue that doesn't exist; try pointing out how the majority of domestic violence issues come from lesbian couples
If you disagree with them, they will try to ruin your livelihood, social circles, and future prospects because you don't agree with them. (Cancel culture, boycotts that always fail, etc.)

"When you cut out a man's tongue, you're not proving that he's a liar. You're telling the world that you're afraid of what he has to say."

Sure, they'll mask it as virtue. Sure, they'll act like they're tolerant.
But they're bitter, hateful people who just look for the next thing to hate. Worse, they actually act on it, against anyone who disagrees.
Sure, there's exceptions. But man the far left has some absolute nutcases where it's clear as day they don't care about people and are just pretending because they want to hate something.

At least with religious people, they seem like they can be swayed in a lot of cases because there are so few who have their entire religion as a part of who they are as a whole, especially nowadays with religion serving more as life guidelines rather than a militant doctrine to follow.
The far left, well... that IS their personality. Attack their views, you attack them in their eyes.
Get different religions in the same room, they'll find a way to get along.
Get different opinions in the same room with at least one being a member of the far left? Lmao good luck!
