I wish the Mens Right Movement was more focused on mens rights and less focused on fighting feminists

I dont know if I would put mens rights in the same discussion with feminism, though.

You ever tried bringing up the topic of mens rights on a female-dominated feminism board? Nothing but ridicule. Its all male tears are delicious or you must be a virgin living in your Moms basement kind of responses.

They dont take it seriously and theres a good chance you get banned, blocked or ignored, if you try to continue pushing it for civil discussion.

Umm, you get satisfaction from seeing other men lust after your girl?

Bruh, Im not gonna use the C-word (which you interestingly did, Btw), but it kinda sounds like youre just a little hop, skip or a jump away from it.

I like Tom Holland a lot, but he hasnt yet captured that overwhelming feeling of inadequacy, obligation and suffering like Tobey Maguire did. If depression and burnout had a real life human form with super powers and responsibility, it would look like Tobey Maguires Peter Parker.

Of course toxic femininity is a thing. But it does not fit the narrative. When all else fails, blame men. But you cant low key have that as your group ideology, while also acknowledging any flaws in femininity or feminism.

It didn't start as a sex cult, it turned into one over time. Kreuk left before it became a sex cult, or so she claims.

Its all fun and games when youre just participating in an orgy. Its another thing entirely when main dude starts brainwashing members into being slaves and stars adding in violence via actual branding.

It actually pisses me off how handsome he is

I bet it pisses off at least one of his brothers, if not all three, even more. Theyre not bad looking, but theyre also not remotely as attractive as he is. Imagine having to deal with that shit all your life, every time some girl (or guy) you like comes around to meet the family.

It looks to me like those two paragraphs were separate, he's probably not suggesting that at all.

Yes, I was just trying to understand your environment. Not even trying to attack or insult, sorry if it maybe sounded like I was.

Anyway, I am not religious but I live around a lot of Christians. Their belief is on a very personal level, so I am careful of what I say around them. They also take politics seriously and sports is below that, but Im not afraid of getting physically hurt if we debate those topics. Religion is a totally different thing and just laughing about it is dangerous. I accept that it could be very different in other places, like some people kill other sports teams fans, for example.

as far as i can tell, whenever people get "angry" in a discussion on religion, they're not actually discussing religion
more often than not, it has become a political discussion in a religion context.

like, no one get's actually angry over "and then Moses parted the red sea"

it's always shit like "let religious nuts make anti-abortion laws, yes or no?", "are Jehovas Witnesses weirdos?" "something something circumcision" and "someone made a picture of our prophet, i must kill"
those are politics

Wait, arent you Swedish? Do you get many opportunities to speak with devoutly religious people over there?

I do worry about my safety when the topic of religion comes up and I dont agree with what others are saying. Im talking about basic, core beliefs of Christians, like debating whether or not Jesus really did do any of the miracles hes credited with. I cant imagine how unwise it would be to do something comparable in a Muslim-majority nation.

Does anybody outside the uk even care about the royal family? i'm sure they're nice people and all and i'm old enough to remember diana but didn't think much of it. same thing with the royal wedding of that megan chick to henry.

Oh, youd be surprised. Of course not everyone follows them, but theres definitely a worldwide fascination for royalty. This was amplified with Diana, who was a literal princess, like the kind that girls dream about being, and she was very charismatic and actively involved in humanitarian aid projects.

I personally don't agree.

Thats fair. For me, he does seem easy to hang with because hes willing to have a conversation about pretty much anything. For a lot of guys especially, Rogan likes traditional manly things like hunting, cars and martial arts, so his appeal probably does lean towards that audience more.

I liked DiCaprios character and thought he gave the best performance, but it seems the critics were more impressed by Brad Pitt. Overall, the movie didnt really make a lasting impact on me, but it did seem more polished somehow than some of Tarantinos other films.

One of the best things about Joe Rogan is that hes so productive as a content provider, and he has been for years. There was a period where it honestly seemed like he was pushing out podcasts every other day. These pretty much always involved a guest, even if it was just a comedian he knew, and now his episodes feature such a wide range of speakers. I dont think there are too many other podcasts that get scientists, theologians, professors, politicians, law enforcement, pro athletes and everything in between.

I dont blame Don Lemon for enjoying the Trump jokes. He had a legit meltdown the last time he decided to examine the Thanos tweet on air a few weeks back. Laughing about things now is probably good for repairing his mental health.

I dont think itll help his cause, but its better to laugh than cry sometimes.

Not sure what you mean by that, but I don't see her tweet as particularly disrespectful

Come on, bruh. You dont show up to what is basically a giant memorial service (because its online with worldwide input) and then talk shit about the dead by chiming in with a hey, guys, remember 17 years ago when dude was a rapist, all while pretending its not disrespectful. We arent fucking stupid. Sarkeesian even bypassed the fact that Bryant was not even tried in court because the accuser did not want to testify. I guess that was too inconvenient for Sarkeesians tweet.

Try that crap at someones actual funeral and see if you dont get slapped and thrown out of the service. Sarkeesian knew what she was doing.

The tweet literally is only talking about Kobe

That tweet and its message content doesnt live in a vacuum. You know that. And I know you know that because if someone like Joe Rogan made fun of one specific LGBTQ person, youd be one of the first to generalize it as transphobic, homophobic, etc.

I dont want to deal with walking, so I use a car.

My friend used a bike instead, which was better for the environment, kept her in shape and in some ways safer. But she was always sweaty.

Ill stick to my car, but I would totally use a helicopter, if I had that instead.

Spicy take. I doubt the people making bank off of esports care about mainstream validation.

No.

Youre only considering whats happening now. I remember competing in Quake 2 tournaments in the late 90s and people were arguing back and forth about esports. A lot of the competitive community, which grew tremendously with the first StarCraft, Dota, and Counter-Strike, did not like being looked at as nerds (Aka those fucking nerds) and kept talking about our video game competitions as one day rivaling events like the Super Bowl or Olympics. They wanted legitimacy. But not all of us cared enough to get that validation, mainly because video games were our thing, not the mainstreams. Now? Of course everyone and their grandmother plays video games of some type, so IMO there is even less of a reason to cling to the esports label.

---

...

I also dont like the term esports.

It sounds like some people are desperate for validation, so they latch on to what mainstream audiences already find acceptable and even praiseworthy.

He said "whether or not". Get over it.

Nah, TC knew what he was doing when he stuck that insult in there. It seems to bother him that Bryant is getting a lot of attention and love, although its true that he wasnt someone any of us knew personally. If youre going to shit on someone after theyre dead, you might as well man up and own your message.

He weighed in at over 200lbs for the Sober October thing. He has claimed himself that he was 5'9.

Nah, Rogan is insecure about his height. At best, hes 58, but I wouldnt be surprised if it is 57. He stands with shoes next to dudes like Conor, who is shoeless in the Octagon, and theyre eye to eye.

Hes definitely 200 or so in weight, though. Hes quite stocky framed.

Rogan or Tyson would be the only correct choice. Both are elite fighters who would kill that guy with little effort.

Yes, and I think Rogan specifically would be especially quick to intervene. He is currently raising two young girls, so I dont even think hed hesitate if somebody elses daughter was being assaulted.

---

...

This is terrible. I guess Im feeling it more than I normally might because I heard his daughter was with him. I cant imagine how terrible it would be to lose a child, which maybe he realized would happen in the last few seconds, and his wife will now be tormented by. We also dont know who the other deceased passengers are. RIP.

Its probably in MGKs best interests to continue this feud with Eminem, who is obviously far more successful and popular than he is. The trick thing is milking the social media attention without looking like a desperate loser (e.g. Nick Cannon).

Aww, dont be mad at your girlfriend. I mean I wouldnt blame her for not calling because I have heard its hard to talk when youve got another dudes dick in your mouth. What kind of conversation could you have had like that, anyway?

tommybel89 posted...

Yeah. The idea that disagreeing on their participation in sports means that you are against them as a whole is foolish. That's all Rogan did to my knowledge.

Its a gatekeeping issue. You can be supportive, but disagree on just one point and you might as well be a fucking Nazi to some. Of course that means your vote might either go to another team or you stay home on Election Day, which makes those same critics pout.

I dont think this applies to only one side either. A Republican nominee who agrees on more gun control, for example, probably would not get very far with huge swaths of conservative voters.

---

...

Rogans not wrong about Bernie, though. Bernie really has been consistent for decades. That, in itself, at least shows integrity and a commitment to his beliefs. Now whether or not your beliefs align with his would be a different argument.

Im Canadian, didnt grow up around guns, was never talked to about guns - but - i innately knew the first time i held a gun that i should always respect it and treat it as if it were loaded. People that dont get this are missing something that we should all be pre wired with.

Good point. Some people, such as yourself, understand that firearms are not to be treated recklessly. The fact you used the word respect is a sign of that. Unfortunately, I dont think this is as common as it should be for the general public.

It's insane that they left it in too

Yeah, I dont think he fully appreciates how horrible that could have turned out. I dont want to ridicule him because it seems like he is trying to educate himself and his viewers, and I seriously doubt he ever had a mentor instill in him the importance of firearm safety. I mean I was very lucky to have my father teach me that when I was a child, but not everybody had that experience.

The notion that you have to have firsthand experiences of something to write about said experiences is nonsensical. Goodbye in that case to any sci-fi, fantasy, historical fiction, or crime story (for the most part for the latter).

I think the rebuttal would be that those examples are usually of people and places that are not actually real.

The offense seems to arise when someone speaks about experiences that are not perceived as authentic because the speaker is only remotely involved, at best a tourist or at worst a flat-out thief who is exploiting a situation they dont have ownership of and are not usually held accountable for. Anyway, civil debate as to the merits of all this tends to get thrown out the window because race and culture are a touchy subject for many people.

Man, what a bunch of doom and gloom in this topic. Ffs. Most of us live in the United States right? No one is promised a Mercedes and a milf but if you work hard, you can totally make it here. Dont you all have food and vehicles and the internet and smart phones? Video games and netflix, big tv's, a kickass animal friend, access to gyms and parks, malls and museums libraries, breweries dispensaries.... What the FUCK?

What dont you have that you want? Seriously tell me. Besides pussy maybe? That would cheer you up? Well pretty soon youll be able to buy that too, once we quit being wimps about sex, get it done Trump. Now

When was the last time you went hungry? Last year i was eating at a homeless shelter. And it was good as Fuck. In the rest of the world people are dying on the streets, starving, no clean water, being murdered and displaced by corrupt governments, blown up by religious extremists. And you think you got it bad??? Shut the fuck up! Id rather be homeless here than live somewhere else.

When i was growing up, we were so poor we used to go to this great burger stand called B Bops. And my mom would never, ever pay for cheese. She would take a cheese single we got from the poor grocery store and put it on a burger and that was a TREAT. To this day i will Not order a combo meal unless its a special occasion. You know why? Because i stay in my lane and i like it here. Kids used to make fun of us because we drove shitty vehicles. But i survived. And guess what? Now my parents are fucking loaded, we own our own ranch in one of the most beautiful states in the US and have everything we could ever want. And it feels so good because we Earned it.

Last year i was homeless too Catgirl Fondler. I didnt tell anyone. When i got out of jail i lived in my car for three months and worked two jobs. I washed my hair in the taco bell bathroom....... And it kicked fucking ass. I went to the library all the time to charge my phone and I did it all on my own because i didnt want to live with my parents. After I got settled in and got a raise, I quit one job and now i have my own apartment and i have rarely been so happy. In less than a year I did that. And I also am a felon and not particularly smart. Im good at talking and im scrappy, I dont give up, and thats about it. My job kicks ass and my boss is a mentor.

No wonder kids feel discouraged with wimps like us to look up to. Its our responsibility to inspire kids. And these sensitive teachers, I respect the hell out of what you do man, but if you cant see how great this country is you are Fucking Blind.

I agree with most of this. Hard work by itself wont make a perfect life, but you can achieve a lot by having goals and striving towards them.

Its not just the US that has a lot going for it. If you live in any developed nation, youre already ahead of the curve, when compared to the rest of the world. Maybe thats the problem- peoples perspective on what success means is warped. Its not a fair representation of what you do have or could have, if youre constantly comparing yourself to a millionaire or billionaire. Stop that. Figure out what you want and what it takes to get it, then do the work and network with the right people for the leverage you need. Also, dont sabotage yourself. Having a baby during or right after high school, for example, is most likely going to derail your plans.
