Still one of the best skin lines all time

[Maurice Stückenschneider @Amazingx]

Clearly pretending to misunderstand, but either way:

One shouldn’t have to win worlds to be able to sell one’s product, especially in a game and league one paid millions and millions into to share revenue with.

Isn’t it simply mutually beneficial to make team skins for all?

Clavicular will be explaining how bad hypergamy has gotten, almost tearful about the conditions that created him, and women in the replies will post, “He’s 5’11 btw” as if this somehow nullifies his point.

Clavicular does not intend to ‘provoke’ anyone; he is no Andrew Tate. He comfortably holds a vanity mirror to the dating market which has subsumed the whole of civil society, and forces us to peer into it.

He does not add or subtract anything, he does not exaggerate our features. If we recoil spitefully, we recoil at our own reflection. The irony is made richer that all his enemies, angered that he has taken a picture of the loveless, transactional market in which they traffic, resort to insulting his appearance.

It's all his fault

@BrianRoemmele These days id like to wait 20 years for a drug to be out before I'll take it if I can get away with it.

Seems to take at least that long for real longitudinal data to come in that usually has a much wider scope than that of any clinical trial.

"The question of what is right or wrong is less important than whether a man is a brave man or a coward"

The ROI of writing as a skill is uncapped.

Twitter. YouTube. Sales. Romance. Music. Fund

All stem from the ability to write well.

One of the most valuable skills you can possibly learn, at least when it comes to reading and understanding people…

Is to embody an empathy so deep that your consciousness feels as if it is inside the other person. To such an extent that you can look out from their eyes, and, taking their entire life context into account… (country born, family conditions, values instilled, traumas experienced, insecurities, dreams, hopes, aspirations…) can, with a strong degree of accuracy… understand their perspective and specifically, the motives behind everything you do.

I have been studying influence and human behaviour for ~13 years now, and have never come across anybody better at this skill than @FrazzleDazzzled. The power of practicing this skill, and it is a skill, is such that we can see directly through people to a degree that (from the outside) appears psychic.

People will tell you everything about them, if only you pay close enough attention.

Peep the tweet below, mf can hardly comprehend why a person like Elon Musk, would bother exerting a single brain cell on something like ‘the culture wars’, instead of devoting his entire focus on getting to Mars.

You need only take a few moments to consider who he is, what he’s been through, what drives him, what keeps him up at night. And everything makes perfect sense.

Through this all-pervasive empathy consciousness switch, all irrationalities suddenly become entirely rational.

Empathy is the ULTIMATE tool to understand a person. But most people’s definition of empathy stops at “imagine how xyz makes them feel.”

GO DEEPER. - But do so with compassion.
Use empathy not to mislead or lead astray, but to further your own ability to uplift, encourage, and empower others.

this feels so weird bro

[GRITCULT @GRITCULT]

unpopular opinion: you should make every major life decision in under 72 hours.

the person agonising for 6 months over whether to quit, move, start, or leave already knows the answer. they knew in the first 10 minutes. the remaining 5 months and 29 days is just fear dressed up as due diligence.

"but what if i make the wrong choice?"

wrong choices are correctable. indecision is not. you can recover from a bad decision in weeks. you cannot recover the years you spent avoiding one.

the cost of a wrong decision is almost always lower than the cost of no decision. always.

more is lost by indecision than wrong decision.

the people who move fast dont have more certainty than you. they just have less tolerance for standing still.

Terms like "situationship" increasingly reflect female point of view in relationships and dating, it's a byproduct of growing female social dominance. The word is purely feminine because to women (who created and popularized both the term and the act), a sexual or romantic encounter is something that just "happens" to them, it's purely based on implicit feelings that make the experience look like "something that just kinda happened". It completely lacks male planning, premediation, thought, effort, etc. that previous terms like "hookups" had (note the term "hook", it is agentic). This vague word, "situation" reflects the female experience in dating.
