sleep is the pillar of stability

Concurred, master sensei @shadowlessnexus

I've been slowly watching Rogan interview that neuroscientist about sleep. Good info

Aye, still trying to find some of that stability, I'll get a decent sleep as I progress to it.

Best sleep aid for me is a flesh sesh and then a podcast in the background. Adding 1g of glycine starting Thursday.

Yeah, something about trying to focus on a conversation with eyes shut is magic

I've not tried sleeping with headphones on, would you recommend getting something to listen to as a sleeping aid?

@TheDivinePotato I just use the speaker on my phone at 50%. Headphones would kill the vibe for me.

I like the feeling on eavesdropping the convo nearby.

Ah I see, right now I can't use speakers since I don't live alone, still in early college.

Oh and as far as what to listen to, I’ve been binging “The Church of What’s Happening Now” by Joey Diaz (podcast)

Oh, gotchu

RIP "death stars"

Triple H's most recent video actually made me decide to hop in the server since the community seemed to be made of people much more wizened and older.

We try :D

Just look out for concern trolls, pay 'em no mind

Over the ear headphones would be my next choice. Like these @TheDivinePotato https://www.google.com/search?q=philips+flexible+earhook+headphones&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS597US597&hl=en-US&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbzJrez53eAhUSEqwKHdgrDYIQ_AUIESgB&biw=375&bih=591

Never pay more than $10 for those.

They’re awesome though.

Ah, those do look good, I ought to give 'em a go. ^^

@TheDivinePotato awesome man, everyone is welcome here. Glad you came to chill 🍻

@MufflePuff Why did you decide against it?

@Roundabout Lout lmao the death stars!!! Lee was losing his mind

I love my Audio Technicas, but they don't have a mic

Great, loving the warm welcome, and happy to be here.

@MufflePuff I stick to one chick at a time and filter well but I still feel so nervous about condoms only lol

@MufflePuff A few people lost their mind! Was Lee the one who ran out the door?

@Roundabout Lout I have some AT’s that are 11 years old and crisp as can BE. Awesome.
Naw this comedian lady ran out the door.

@machtyn well I decided it because I was in full-monk mode at the time.

Oh yeah

@MufflePuff Oh damn, yeah... I am entering full monk now and I still feel like once I exit it (unless I end up loving it) - I would want that protection lol

@machtyn they’re reversible up to 10 years and I trust the procedure, but I keep reading people talk about pain after the procedure like “forever pain” (not in all cases but possible)

Yeah, the possible pain but also - lower testosterone

It seems really fucking stupid in theory... to cut myself so I don't impregnate someone. I will hold off for now.

I just really don't trust condoms lol. I've used them since 17 but it freaks me out.

@machtyn I dunno, for me the only reason would be sperm jacking. I have never had an issue with pregnancy scares. But I guess — Yeah man that’s the other thing. Surgery is never a good thing. It’s unnatural.

Hmm, yeah I’m with you. Condoms are nothing.

The propensity to be accused of something is enough repellent for me.

Condoms are more failproof than they used to be, but septic tank be damned, flush that shit to avoid a spermjack

@TheDivinePotato well see the thing is I don’t trust that a vasectomy will protect you from accusations. There have been cases where the guy was science-proven but the courts hadn’t “caught up” to reverse the charges/decision. For years.

^

@Roundabout Lout honestly if you use them right, you’ll PROBABLY be ok like 90%. I use Trojan BareSkins, they’re literally like skin. SUPER hard to break. I’ve never had one break.

Very true, I am definitely not in the dating scene let alone hook-ups for that reason.

I know a PUA who almost got stuck raising someone else's kid. He found out about the pregnancy the same time as everyone else on social media, where he was named the father. I knew about social media accusations, put 2 and 2 together. Told his dad to buy him a dna test. Turned out the girl just didn't want to admit she was fucking her boss!

Ill Be Taking a Break off Discord For a While.

Yeah. My other reason is similar, I’m not in monk-mode but I’m in like involuntary-monk-mode due to STDs being rampant and incurable.

@ZODD what’s up man?

@Roundabout Lout wow smh. Happens all the time.

Gotta Be Productive For A Couple Days, Gotta GO Super Saiyan RN. Ta Ta FN

Ah, have a good push man.

I guess she wasn't smart enough to realize her boss would have to pay her more child support for making more $$$, but he got it in the end anyway

she just didnt want to be seen as a slut i guess

@ZODD do ya thang maaannnn. I was considering the same but I’m chilling for now.

@shadowlessnexus it’s always at a man’s expense. Any man will do.

@shadowlessnexus She was letting mommy be the enforcer. No apology was ever given, of course

yea well its not gonna be me

why apologize? that would be like. taking responsiblity for something.

Honestly man the only way to avoid accusations is to not be on any female’s mind/radar. Complete ghost. There have been cases where dudes are accused by a girl they’ve never met. The courts don’t do the work, they just setup the payments. It’s crazy.

Oof, that is crazy.

And the courts often don't even inform the man until it's too late to challenge

^ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

More than often

Most often

Haven't seen your ex in 20 years? They don't give a fuck

There's a guy in fact that I know who is trying to get with a girl that he's liking, what is your thoughts on trying to convince him of true female nature? Since he's still thoroughly on the plantation.

They ask the woman what your last known address is to send you the paperwork to protest (you only have one year) and they give them some address that’s not even yours.

You find out by looking at your fucking paycheck. Like wtf?

@TheDivinePotato Can't do much unless he wants to know, sadly

@TheDivinePotato honestly man it’s sad because you can’t really convince him. Likely he has to convince himself. He’s already convinced himself that she’s worth it. You can’t change a man’s mind.

Ah I see, damn, I guess the best I can do is be there for him as a friend.

You might be able to give advice on specific situations if you don't reveal deeper red pill motivations, but that takes nuance

@TheDivinePotato what I tend to do is send them some Tom Leykis videos. YouTube actually works for you by sending and recommending similar videos to them via algorithm.

Just slide a Leykis video like “haaa check this out”

Leykis is the smoothest transition to red pill philosophy and then MGTOW.

Ah, I see, he has the basics in him in a rejection of political correctness, but I will give that a try, I haven't seen Tom's videos myself so this could be a new discovery for me.

Leykis is 🔥 🔥 🔥

I jumped in at Raging Golden Eagle and TFM personally, I think I springboarded off of Armoured Skeptic though.

When I found Tom I dropped everything and BINGED for months.

Though that was back when I was a recovering cuck.

That’s how I found MGTOW.

@TheDivinePotato hey man we all go through phases

Tom taking on mouthy women is some of the best content

😂😂😂😂

Aye, you can't start off knowing all the answers.

i was just sorta already mgtow. and when i found the community i realized i wasnt the only person who was like "ok what the fuck is going on here?"

I got freakin lucky. Trump reddit jumped straight to TFM. Youtube reccomendations, you fucked up your PC culture for my benefit 😂

Nexus is an advanced form ninga MGTOW

@Roundabout Lout so that’s how you found MGTOW?

They were so entertaining I started binging. Now THAT was a rollercoaster of "Ohhh, of course that makes sense." to "Aghhh god damn WAHMEN"

Started off with far-left friends and slowly started to wake up when I heard other voices, I wasn't going to live in guilt for being a man.

Yeah, I was binging on anti feminist content and WHAM, TFM vids

@Roundabout Lout that’s crazy lol love it

I woulda became a beta bux otherwise

@TheDivinePotato that story is so common man it’s crazy. We’re all surrounded by snowflakes. It’s crazy when you feel alone around a bunch of people you “know”.

Was already sort of monk because intuition was telling me everyone around me was full of shit

yup. me too

I thought I was just in the wrong state/neighborhood. I had NO idea how bad it was

aight im off to work

be back later
