Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?

This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.

Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.

If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, you’ve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?

Like 80% of the millennial fathers I know and meet exist solely as ATM slaves in their loveless marriage to their millennialshrew "wife." The only thing holding their "marriage" together is the shared responsibility of the child. It's otherwise a total sham. The few social events they attend are always centered around the children of the attending parents, because they have no other identity or interests. The "wife" completely dominates the household and the "husband" has no agency or independence whatsoever

It calls to mind the male insects who literally die after they mate with a female. But way worse

This is what is being referred to by the "wifeguy" slur. These guys are basically zombies who are no longer human or even fully alive and who function as golem under control of their "wives" (who are controlled by The Matrix). This dynamic serves as a force multiplier for feminism, liberalism, etc - everything about the undesirable status quo

Sometimes I think that fertility-dooming is missing the point. This is who is reproducing and who is raising the next generation of even more turbo-simped out "men." Worry about the fertility rate once feminism is defeated

NYC is rather disappointing on the whole (ranked in terms of how annoying each problem is for me):

1. Third-world governance with first-world prices. European taxes with American services.

2. Most neighborhoods are dead after work hours.

3. Dense central core is intolerable (14th-59th street especially). Where are the piazzas or squares with cafes?

4. Housing stock is terrible and overpriced (no central air, long, narrow units with bad lighting).

5. The few pleasant areas are packed with transients and have corporate vibes (West Village is the worst offender).

6. Incessant, tiring discourse around every issue (who is a New Yorker, gentrification, rent prices).

7. Too expensive and annoying to drive with terrible transit coverage in the outer boroughs.

8. Buses are meant to fill the massive subway gaps, but they are often slower than walking.

9. It's too loud. Alarms, sirens, construction, it's impossible to have a peaceful moment.

10. Terrible climate (ranked last because they can't control this).

Women absolutely hate "nice guys" (i.e. well-socialized men) and reward culturally destructive behaviors. They used to reward socially constructive behaviors, but that is only because they were forced to by "The Patriarchy,” which they’re now gleefully trying to destroy.

I was in Monaco few years ago.

Really nothing special.

Bunch of old dudes, trust fund babies and gold-diggers.

What people don't understand, especially in USA - Europe has GENERATIONAL WEALTH.

I am talking money that has been piling up for centuries.

France, Italy, Spain, UK, Portugal, there are literally families who owned slaves and cotton-fields, ships, docks, export-import licences.

They were the ones producing goods with no labour cost and exporting it to America.

They were the ones who were buying Paris land plots for pennies back in the days that are now worth billions.

Most of them really just fell on super-accumulated wealth over big period of time.

Few of the people will achieve this wealth for their lifetime.

Very few.

Most of the people I've met there are really born into money.

It's normal for them, as it was normal for their parents.

I never found it cool cause I just don't belog there even tho I am very well educated and raised and I made a very, very affluent life for myself.

The truth is - you will never belog there if you don't come from money.

The true, dynasty money.

This is also what US people don't understand.

European old money doesn't respect the hustle and motion, they find it silly and amusing.

You are a lower-status poor child they were thought not to take seriously.

You know the girl you meet one summer.

She thinks you are cute and loves that you are street smart, and bend the rules.

She will party with you, hang out, fuck you and have her romance, but she will marry someone from her class.

This is literally how most of the true aristocratic European circles still look at world.

I also never found old money cool other then aesthetics and arhitecture - and for that they have the best one.

In my books most of them are useless spoiled kids who just won in life by chance and they have no respect for anything cause they haven't done anything themselves most of the times.

They think we are savages and we think they are pussies.

Find a place you belong in buddy and make a world a better place then you found it.

Even if you do stumble in those echalons of society, you will always be a gaijin.

Porn has influenced the entire world. From the way we speak, think and dress. I love it. So much goon fuel to enjoy

A few VCs follow me. Chud tip: Make sure the founders aren't unfucked nerds. Because this is where you're money is going.

In my short stint in SF, I met hundreds of "women in tech", particularly Asian women and "bimbo" tech girl influencers, when in reality they were just put on payroll to legitimize their escort fees.

If the team is a bunch of dweebs, they're making a AI wrapper slop app, and they immediately hire e-girls and Asian spinners for "marketing" or for a "C-suite" when the company is only 10 employees, you are paying for nerd sex.

Sure, as a VC you already know about 90% of your investments won't amount to shit and it's all about the 10% that does hockeystick, but you're not a charity. And you should have the self-respect to not let a bunch of gay-for-pay new grads (literally) ride you like you're an old stupid trick so they can be the leader of their own little sauna.

You need teams that are serious, with serious ideas, who want to make serious money. Not nerds who never peaked that are desperate for a Chad era.

Legalize prostitution. The natural global market rate for someone in that looks bracket is roughly $100 - $200/hr.

Artificially constraining supply has countless non-obvious externalities.

Every $5k spent by a tech bro on mid hookers is $5k not being recycled back into SOXX 😉

No matter how much time passes, I think getting one-shot by a white Mormon kid while blaming gun violence on black people will forever be the worst debate loss. It will never get worse than that. Ever.

[Coach Greg Adams @coachgregadams]

You cannot have a stay-at-home wife in a top-20 American city unless you're making $500,000 a year. You need to compensate for her lack of income, her retirement, her social security, and what happens when she divorces you. The nuclear family math doesn't work in 2026 and it's not coming back.

I have been seeing a certain archetypal commenter in the spotlight recently; all women my age, progressive, and employed at mainstream institutions. I don't know them. Yet in every case, I can intuit their origin story.

It goes something like this:

> be an older millennial female, no strong passion, but strive hard in school
> reach High School
> steer clear of the kids who like talking about “far out” philosophical issues
> also steer clear of student government and debate club, which seems too contentious and vaguely threatening
> focus on getting perfect marks, complying with college reqs. Get into top uni based on those marks
> get introduced to politics in freshmen social justice class, instantly floored
> the appeal of college politics is just how cut-and-dried it is. Unlike other fields, it has a clear “good” and “bad” side, no ambiguity. The “good” side always wins in classroom discussions, you feel like a hero for validating consensus with "The Conversation"
> politics becomes your religion, “this is my passion!”
> graduate with top marks and recs. Your degree is essentially in “Current Thing-ism”. Have no broad understanding of history or philosophy.
> Your concept of human events is just people being oppressed for 4000 years until feminism and progress happened in the 20th c.
> despite the Global Financial Crisis, immediately get hired by a government/media org because they want someone who “understands the role of female politics in our new digital era!”
> most of your colleagues share your perspective, the ones who don't are older guys on their way to retirement, not looking for the confrontation that disagreeing with you would certainly involve.
> great awokening happens, double down on Current-Thingism politics
> organe-man-bad and COVID happens, triple down on politics.
> you are 15 years deep in your career, you have never once genuinely engaged with a peer who didn't validate your worldview or who you didn't consider a "token" opposition to placade your political enemies
> vibe shift happens, establishment uncertain, time to have a "conversation" with the people you've considered deplorable
> have conversation, hear non-progressive opinion that is common in the modern world, historically ubiquitous
> react with schock, umbrage horror. "Can you even believe this is happening?"
> confident that non-progressive opinion is trivially easy to refute, somehow have no idea how to actually refute it
> unaware just how deeply you have been betrayed by your education, such that the average educated man on the street has more practical understanding of what politics is than you do with decades of "experience."

New York is not a playground for Israeli war criminals to hold parades while New Yorkers foot the bill for their genocide against Palestinians. From yesterday’s far-right Israeli government officials marching down 5th Avenue alongside smiling American politicians, to today’s event hosting top Israeli military officials responsible for mass atrocities against civilians, war criminals must be held accountable at the ICC, not celebrated.

What people do not realize is that a decade ago, MAGA and the Alt Right were kind to Indians.

The energy on places like The Donald subreddit was wholesome.

What changed in 2024?

Indian men started being desired more on the dating scene. Kash Patel's girlfriend is White.
