ITT we share wisdoms that we have gleaned through our own experiences with our fellow Anons, that they might live a better life. I'll start:
NEVER ask a question unless you are %100 that you want to know the answer. Whatever happens, you literally asked for it, so you better be damn sure you really wanted to know. Remember this and it will help you with friends, family, lovers, and even children. Live your life by it.

FIM is fucking weird when it comes to male characters.
Big Mac is a background object and meme for much of the show. Same goes for all the other males. The males didn't getting significant screentime and development until after Hasbro fired and replaced Faust and her friends so more males were making decisions involving the show. Sure most of their decisions involved pandering bronybait bullshit like waving around popular one-off characters but still. Mrs Cake's foals don't match her husband's race, the excuse she gives is that someone not related to her by blood was one of those races. This is played for laughs when women write the show and forgotten about when they don't.
and Spike... What were they thinking with Spike? This is a show for little girls yet it paints Spike's subservient simping as a good thing. He is literally a servant for one mare and thinks serving another will get him in her pants. Not that she usually wears pants but still. He's treated as the baddie whenever his head gets too big, his moments of masculinity tend to be played for laughs just like his attempts at it and lack of masculinity, and if he "gets too greedy" and wants birthday gifts, if he wants more out of life than servitude, he literally turns into a massive monster that needs to be stopped, either through force or through Rarity reminding him of his place. I dropped the show around S6-7 so I don't know if Sparity actually grows into a real relationship where she stops using him or not.
Speaking of which, what's up with Rarity? Should a kid's show really suggest being cute and waggling your eyelashes at males will get you whatever you want solely for being pretty? You know, as if those who simp and whiteknight for pretty girls have no ulterior motives and will never expect anything in return? Anyone moved by a kid's waggling eyelashes shouldn't be anywhere near kids.
>>3938It's a show about girls for girls (originally). It just wasn't the writers' intentions to give male characters spotlight.
Also mares attract more consoomers.
>>3939Do you ever think about how many early-show episodes were actually pretty bad? Especially when it came to males. I liked the show overall, but I was there when these eps came out and I remember people hating them.
>>3940In hindsight, you do have a point. The show had overt feminist themes from the beginning, although back then it was still actually good.
>>3938Spike fills the role of the token 'annoying' side kick child-like character slot.
In comparison to that he's actually decent.
So every time he's transformed it's into a sub-animal, puffer fish, dog, erm dragon of sorts. By the movies he's sub human or perhaps sub pony.
So the thing about it is that characters don't get a chance to completely overcome hard established traits.
Spike is in the middle ground a main character and side character and plot device (sends and recieves letters). He's allowed to have some victories, but he's not a pony.
In later seasons the established dynamic is sort of all over the place.
At the beginning they set up the potential for all kinds of wacky hijinks that made sense. There's still some to be explored.
But he's in the slot of side kick, comic relief, and that one guy you might know (that's why his traits span across many stereotypes and at times seem to be contradictory, to make him useful and not the wacky zany mascot).
Stuck in limbo between all of it he has enough, but could have more.
Spike can't be the love interest in the show because, show for empowering little girls. Yet we see Spike's desire to be the perfect match.
Inb4 Spike is actually the generic anime harem protagonist-kun and the perspective is a way to deflect some of the credit and influence he exhibits into a story book.>TLDR Spike is the help.
Society says the state should be the arbiter of justice and hold a monopoly on violence, because it is assumed that a judge and jury will be more lilely to see justice done to a criminal than the one that criminal harmed. As if judges and juries and the state and its enforcers have a good track record of avoiding unjust, cruel, excessive punishments. Especially when the state's interests or pride or illusion of legitimacy is threatened.
>>3939>It's a show about girls for girls (originally).Not so much.
The original G1 MLP was intended to be more of a fantasy show for both boys and girls. It was only later generations that decided to focus on girls exclusively.

Someone competitively qualified for the job can work almost anywhere in the field has no reason to be loyal to a bad boss.
But someone underqualified for the position has a reason to be loyal to whoever hired them, be it a boss or ideology.
Less-intelligent and less-qualified and less-useful twats (nigs and women) have this reason to be fanatically loyal to the unjust force that made their lives easier than it should be, yet they'll betray it in an instant for any force that makes their lives even easier.
This is why so many women and nigs love to root out and report unorthodoxy and thoughtcrime among their fellow servants. They know they would be less desireable by their rulers if they weren't spies.

42 is the meaning of life.
and that isn't silly haha wacky nonsense penguin of doom "bananas taste like thursday" talk.
42 is ASCII for the * symbol. It's the star, a wildcard. It can mean anything.
Everything and anything is the meaning of life because it's up to you to figure out what the meaning of life is.
IngSoc is a SOCialist party dominating INGerland and 42 is deep just like 69. To be fair you need a high IQ to understand books.
Sometimes when kids are taught their race and sex and sexuality defines who they are, how they should act, and how they ought to be treated, they respond by inventing their own sexualities/sexes/races.
They decide for themselves they are non-binary and therefore anyone who disrespects their desire to have non-gender-specific pronouns used on them is violating their superior rights as an abnormal being with an abnormal sexuality.
Or they think they'd improve their life if they switched sex, because the groomers in their love-bombing cultish echo chambers told them it's quick and easy and guaranteed to make you look better than any Rule 63 fanart. They noticed women have it easier or were told men have it easier and decided they want some of that action, if it's not a sexual fetish for them or a sexual failing that convinces them they'd be able to fuck any normie if the normie was afraid of being called transphobic.
Or they start imitating or simping for another race, like "Native" Americans or Niggers or Asians. They don't want to be caught dead liking white musicians that appeal to men or corporate girlymen boybands meant for women, so they simp for even girlier korean boybands. Some even invent their own races or pretend to think unusual things like "I am an alien" or "I am an Elf" or "I am a Vulcan" or "I am a cat" or "I am magic" or "I am batman", and because this group of people sees the least social success with their childish attempt at becoming what the adults around them want from them, they tend to grow out of this mindset without making it a permanent part of their identity. They become teenagers or maybe even adults without this childish adult-encouraged game of pretend becoming their new reality and inspiring them to get surgery to look more like a Vulcan or Woman. Meanwhile, playing pretend is a tough drug to give up when it comes to those who get their first taste of "genuine" acceptance when they stop being dreaded cishet white males and climb aboard the crazy train.
Frustration is a problem of expectations not lining up with reality. First adjust your expectations to see the world as it actually is, then adjust your behavior to wisely navigate the actual reality.
Mod-users who complain at a mod creator "Your mod broke my immersion!" are consoomer faggots. And niggers.
What's gayer than trying to forget reality and "immerse" yourself in a power fantasy game that's 10% original game and 90% superior mods only to snap at any mod authors when what they created in their own free time for fun goes against what you personally wanted to see and experience in your own personal perfect little fantasy?
No mod author is obligated to pander to any individual creator no matter how popular or unknown.
Mod users should uninstall mods they don't like quietly or give worthwhile feedback.
"It fucking sucks gay nigger balls you cunty twat goblin from hell with AIDS!" is a more useful piece of feedback than "waaaaah muh immersion". Why? Because the former tells you one angry twat didn't like your mod. It's basically one downvote in comment form and useless for self-improvement but at least it's technically feedback. You know butthurt dipshits dislike it so you're probably on the right track. If you get a ton of negative feedback you can think about why and who's making it.
The latter tells you a retard wanted your mod to cater to precisely what he wanted to see in his game after installing it and is upset at you for injecting cognitive dissonance into his fantasy session. What one retard fantasy-addicted coomer wants to experience is different from what another one wants to experience.
"muh immersion" just tells you your work wasn't made for the particular retard crying "muh immersion". And... duh. Of course it isn't. It was never supposed to be. This comment isn't useful feedback. It states the obvious.
In life there are people with dreams who will act on them. And people who content themselves feasting on prolefeed, only to lash out at any flavour of food foreign to them, even if it's free.
Be free, follow dreams.
When you feel like you're not earning enough, spend less. You can always get away with less. In fact, you might be happier with less to worry about.
You don't need takeout. You don't need soda or any other bottled/canned drinks. You don't need dress clothes. You don't need fancy cookingware with ergonomic grips and non-stick materials. You don't need a dishwasher. You don't need a microwave. You don't need a stove or oven. You don't need internet access. You don't need your phone. You don't need a car. You don't need to be employed by someone else. You don't need a federally-recognized business to work for yourself. You don't need electricity. You don't need a house, or an apartment, or even a single room rental. You don't need money.
The only things you absolutely need are breathable air, edible food, drinkable water, and stable rest. For your safety and health, you ought to have a cooking pot, which you can use to boil water to ensure sanitation. For safety from snow, you can shape a small mound-hut with your bags to sleep in. For warmth, you can use nothing but brush, a few stakes, and a series of simple log cuts to make a bed, and put it atop a controlled campfire. For your food and water, you can find both from all kinds of places; there's groundwater, melting snow, precipitation, plants, insects, birds, rodents, or larger game to eat. For your feet, it's advisable to have shoes, although depending on where you are, might not be necessary. For decency, a pair of denim overalls will be enough to last a damn long time.
I've gotten carried away with the caveman lifestyle details, but it's to prove my point. The world is your oyster. If you don't like your job, or your town, or the rent, you are the only one who can change it right now, without spending years crossing your fingers that you win the lottery or somehow stumble upon a miracle.
Credit is free* money.
*as long as you follow the above super-strict rules of performance and invest your borrowed money wisely.
Your bank profits by charging you for the service in sneaky or complicated ways. So you have to take the time and dot your i's and cross your t's if you want to avoid letting them fuck you. I only recently escaped a decade-long revolving credit debt because I took the time to run the numbers and realize that.
I was told from a young age to pay the minimum on time and I'm okay, but that's not true. When a month goes by without your balance being paid down to zero, interest begins being instantly applied, often at a raised rate, upon using the card again. If you pay for gas with credit, and you're not paying it off immediately, you're paying a 20-30% dummy tax on it. So much for that 3% rewards plan you got with Bank of America, right?
Your credit score is worsened if you open new credit accounts, as well as closing old ones. Keep that old card, even if you don't plan on using it for anything, so your score stays stable. Wait four months at least before you open another credit account somewhere, or take out a new loan, unless you want to lose points on your score.
Your credit score, credit balance, and other factors can worsen your interest rate if it's not a static rate. Talk to your bank, find out more about your plan, and negotiate new plans as your credit score improves to further improve your score. Calling your bank and talking to a manager about lowering your interest rate might not work without a few calls back, but raising your credit limit also improves the score. Keeping below 30% of your credit limit at all times prevents hits from messing with your score.
When using a card to make purchases, your bank will often sort them from largest to smallest while processing. If you overdraft by ten dollars because your new phone cost too much, but you also bought three separate purchases of cheap snacks throughout that day beforehand, you're going to get hit by three overdraft fees, not one. That's $105 down the drain for a $35 overdraft fee. Keep a VERY close eye on those numbers, and don't risk being forced to fork that money over to your bank for something so trivial.
If you don't like how complicated this all is, then there's two options: one, you can go to a proper credit union whose rates are usually lower and whose plans often include long grace periods for new accounts, or two, you can go back to keeping physical cash. I recommend a credit union to maintain credit for the sake of making business and personal investments, but if you want to start from zero and build up the cash for a camper or house or rent or an apartment, feel free.
Double posting because it needs to be said twice.
No man is an island indeed.
You reap what you sow.
You plow what you till.
You harvest when it's time.
>No choice is fully informed anymore.
Then you make the most of the choices you have and understand what choices are.
You must understand that your actions and choices define you.
You have two options. Improve or fail.
That's all. Life is good at fucking you over when you fail so improve and learn.
If you can't, that sucks, your life is going to blow.
But it is possible.

A well-designed tutorial doesn't need to be optional and skippable.
A good game tutorializes its mechanics by starting with things so basic you can explain them through gameplay or pop-up signs that don't pause the game.
And from there the player can be put into situations that teach them more complex things.
Moving platforms move. Falling platforms fall when you land on them. This enemy does this. That enemy does that.
Fuck tutorials that have the characters blabber on for multiple minutes about their game's mechanics and explain them to each other.
Fuck tutorials that are intended for Games Journalists rather than gamers.

<ensure you apply everything you learn in one place to other places as well.<That gives you a robust toolset others have not yet understood that tool and why and how you use it.<Game design is life design is ergonomics in bizarre surfaces is non-verbal communication is an altered state of mind is a new way to see things is a way to do things<But you have to have yourself do that. This applies for everything and in every combination and permutation. You have to open yourself up to this way, which is what you already do.Maybe not always at the forefront of your mind but this is what you do to brute force creativity is massive combinations of any number and being able to analyze it then shift or discard.

But hey... we have a way to get people who don't want to do things to do them.
>>201A bit of forethought before the action can have just enough impact to get what you need to do done.
>>4160The education (imparting of information) of people willing or unwilling is a beast that is dynamic to the situation and must comply with the persons strengths amd weaknesses in such a way to build the strength and overcome the weakness.
With that in mind it's possible to make a team building exercise in any environment that is carefully crafted to extol the lessons needed.
>Hey wait a minute<Life and conflict is all things, it's how one goes about itIt's possible to craft that how in a way the human mind(s) (different thought patterns with different genetic lineages, and sex) absorbs with ease anything to have them have their own personality crafted tool to use for the rest of their life.
I'm sure you can think of other applications.
>>4163Huh...
Thanks, anon.
Women who had a crush on He-Man and Superman/Clark Kent as kids probably turned out better than the women who had crushes on Draco Malfoy and Sasuke Uchiha and Bakugo Katsuki because those characters were cunts.
Then again, who knows? Maybe the women who liked He-Man and Superman only liked them for their looks and power. Women are shallow like that. Once I was at a supermarket years ago and overheard some horny thirty-somethings egging each other on into lusting over JUSTIN TRUDEAU and gasping and groaning over his looks and power while wishing they could vote for him and be his wives. One of them had a fucking wedding ring on. Absolutely fucking disgraceful.
Women ain't shit. Women don't deserve the same rights as men because they lack the same responsibilities and reasoning capacity. Women crave security and domination and attention and resources and think with their cooch. They genuinely are what they claim men are. Slapping and publicly shaming your bitch should be legal. Like 70% of women are masochists anyway.
>>4165>Slapping and publicly shaming your bitch should be legal. Like 70% of women are masochists anyway.Then you don't understand that is completely unnecessary.
>>4166Thanks for the pics.
Isn't it weird how stories of spooky or "cursed" toys like "The Evilstick" get women so scared and excited because "its ruining the childlick innocens maybe its occult maybe its a conspiracy" but then when degenerate imagery and subliminal messaging and political brainwashing gets into TV shows aimed at children barely anyone gives a shit?
>>4166>picsChecked and saved.
>>4166Okay I do have to clarify this is about the average female. There are people who have traits and flaws that are a bit more than just do what everyone else does.
But it doen't hurt to use biology to your and their advantage.
Part of that is appealing to the 'ancient' part of the brain.
Overcoming that or at least compensating is possible.
That being the case there is different options even then in confronting different people in different situations.
In that case words work sometimes. They want to feel something that they want from the exchange.
Crazy assholes escalate in such a way dark traits manifest consistently, usually in petty ways. When someone says, "ughhhh oh fuck it's
them" that sums it up.
Not just petty, but in a way that causes harm to you usually socially or financially.
Then you need help, and you're in conflict.

An "Accelerationist" is someone who wants to confront his bullies when he is bullied and retaliate when harmed, even if it means potentially upsetting the aggressor. The best accelerationists solve problems by stopping the bully's antics or convincing him to prey on someone else.
A non-accelerationist sits on his hands and lets the injustice continue to happen because "he doesn't want to make things worse and give the bully a reason".
But if the bully attacked you for no good reason, he is unreasonable. He cannot be reasoned with, and will invent any "reason" (excuse) to behave however he wants whenever he feels an excuse is needed. When dealing with someone like that, mercy and pacifism means prolonging the problem instead of solving it.

The best way to deal with a jewish troll you can't block or ban is to recognize the truth: Your time is more valuable than his, because if his time had value he wouldn't waste it attacking his "fellow white". The only worth they can provide is that of a practice dummy for dealing with jewish lies.

Just saying if you have a little card saying you're 'legally' blind without your corrective lenses wouldn't it be neat if you could just see far away. Wouldn't that be a surprise. Hypothetically of course. Something something legalities and stuff.

Using specific lens as training weights.
Now as a person without any professional background or a deep breath and depth indepth research on eyes I'd assume the reverse is also possible.
It really depends on what you want your vision to be like and how dedicated you want this sort of training to be and how knowledgeable you are about the subject with that applications that interlink.
The other girls may hate her and envy her but that doesn't necessarily mean she's not like the other girls.
Women are whores who exchange access to their bodies for what they want. Their presence, their fleeting approval, their backholes and frontholes and mouthholes, they will sell these if the price is right.
Female streamers are prostitutes. A girl who plays video games is a novelty and if she didn't want her girl advantage she wouldn't tell us she's a girl. Her smile, her cleavage, her "one of the dudes" persona or "cutesy little uwu girl" persona or "ALWAYS HORNY ALL THE TIME" persona, these are just some of the things a woman can use to please her audience. Draping herself in the fake nerd persona or fake weeaboo onlyfans cosplay pornographer aesthetic is a way to attract male attention and a niche audience of horny men with money.
Why do so many men redpilled on women forget everything the second they see a whore who paid a man a few hundred(maybe thousands) to draw and rig her a cute anime girl avatar?
That isn't actually a 9999 year old elf princess or zombie shark or smart woman you're throwing money at, it's a whore held to lower standards than mature adult men in all areas of her life. She might be ugly and hideously obese. She might be a used-up whore with ugly tattoos. She might be a famous manhating feminist who puts on a high "uwu loli" voice or low "ara ara mommy milky milf" voice or silly accent for extra cash. It doesn't matter if she acts like a horny older sister or bratty little sister or retarded littler sister. She is a prostitute and sad men pay her to hear her say their names. Smart men know it's an act and donate money to their favourite comedians and entertainers and artists if they're worth it. But braindead cucks buy the lie and simp like autogynephiliac cucks who just want to make women happy even though it's women who helped betray the West.
