Any of y'all ever get to the post red-pill rage period, but then periodically dip back into that anger? Sometimes I look around at the blatant injustice and someone with a straight face attempting to tell me the opposite of what is provably true.

It's just like wtf. How do you reason or even converse with that level of cognitive dissonance?

2019-05-31 05:13:07 UTC  

I saw it and couldn’t even tell you about it now. Utterly forgettable.

2019-05-31 05:13:13 UTC  

And I realize I'm way off topic

2019-05-31 05:13:34 UTC  

Nah fam it's cool and yes, sometimes I see or hear something that makes my blood boil

2019-05-31 05:14:06 UTC  

Makes me want to lash out violently because strength is the only thing *everyone* understands.

2019-05-31 05:14:11 UTC  

@DeliriumT The anger never really goes away, or at least it’s hard to ultimately divorce yourself from it if you have any sense of justice.

2019-05-31 05:14:12 UTC  

But, I know better.

2019-05-31 05:14:42 UTC  

I'm not a fan of anger, but sometimes it is difficult to be cool in such a deluded society/system.

2019-05-31 05:14:59 UTC  

Deluded? No brother - ***degenerate***

2019-05-31 05:15:03 UTC  

Why? Anger’s an outstanding motivator.

2019-05-31 05:15:25 UTC  

Because it can't be channeled into a way of correcting it.

2019-05-31 05:15:30 UTC  

You can't debate them

2019-05-31 05:15:35 UTC  

Can't reason with them

2019-05-31 05:15:38 UTC  

"Anger is power, use it" the clash

Violence ends in prison

2019-05-31 05:16:25 UTC  

What feminist cunt told you anger ends in violence and prison?

2019-05-31 05:16:25 UTC  

So I do try to avoid getting angry. Im largely apathetic, but sometimes my bullshit limit is reached.

2019-05-31 05:16:54 UTC  

I mean that there are few ways to channel anger productively within this co ntext.

2019-05-31 05:18:33 UTC  

Then maybe the lesson to be learned is how to channel it elsewhere in your life.

2019-05-31 05:19:28 UTC  

Solving solutions hurts you. Doing nothing kills you.

2019-05-31 05:19:54 UTC  

I get incredibly angry when I fail at something. Particularly with myself, or perhaps others involved, but that doesn’t mean I just try to destroy it all on the spot because I came up short.

The answer to anger does not need to be “direct it only at the thing causing it”.

2019-05-31 05:22:21 UTC  

Well that's the thing. If I'm angry about something at work, I can channel that and work to fix it.

In that way, it can be used correctively. In this case, getting angry at blatant injustice...and then what?

And maybe you're onto something five, seven and two. I'll hit the gym.

I guess my knee-jerk is to work to fix the problem directly. One can't really do that in this context. Look at all the good that has done for MRAs.

2019-05-31 05:26:34 UTC  

The hardest loss I ever took was a practice boxing match. 4 rounds, 3 minutes each. Guy really got me, I mean *really* got me early on and I was punch drunk but on my feet. Lost by a point. Dude was an asshole, too, hyper sore winner, gloated, I had a problem with him for weeks.

Some times, no amount of rage can be channeled to “fix” the thing that caused it. He left the gym two weeks later (he was juicing, shocker) and I had to figure out how to cope with no Round 2, no resolution, no way to earn my pride back.

2019-05-31 05:30:15 UTC  

Something about the whole situation really stuck in my craw and I drove myself to a sprained wrist training. So I’m not sure what the vent will be for you; could be the gym, could be building ships in a bottle, for all I know.

But that anger’s like a full gas can. You’re stuck with it and you can either burn it off or light the whole fucker up in one go. But it doesn’t go away without being burned up.

2019-05-31 05:30:48 UTC  

That's a lot to consider.

2019-05-31 05:31:06 UTC  

Thanks for taking the time to type up all of that.

2019-05-31 05:31:46 UTC  

I’ve got the time now, just listening to offshore support struggle with a development issue. <:lolz:480186121897377792>

2019-05-31 05:34:20 UTC  

LOL

2019-05-31 05:34:25 UTC  

Glad we have a least one place like this. It's sort of a funny thought. I mean having a place strictly for men to share their thoughts.

I hope you stick around, Five, Sever and Two. And the rest of these dudes, too.

2019-05-31 05:34:33 UTC  

By offshore support, you mean engrish speaking hindi's?

2019-05-31 05:34:40 UTC  

Lmao

2019-05-31 05:35:08 UTC  

@Rhunespire Yes, exactly.

2019-05-31 05:35:17 UTC  

Nailed it.

2019-05-31 05:35:45 UTC  

@DeliriumT I dip in and out; been a roller coaster recently, but trying to stick here a bit more.

2019-05-31 05:35:53 UTC  

Missed you guys, all told.

2019-05-31 05:36:51 UTC  

Aww we missed you too buddy. Lol

2019-05-31 05:36:54 UTC  

@Rhunespire I’m understanding maybe 35% of what they say. The gist seems to be all my production shit is up and good, but a Windows update nuked their server and I’ve never heard 10 people struggle so hard to rebuild a virtual instance.

2019-05-31 05:37:30 UTC  

“Offshore saves money, though.”

2019-05-31 05:37:31 UTC  

Good work Hermit and mods. Let's hope discord doesnt go the way of basically every other social media platform.

2019-05-31 05:37:33 UTC  

Dont you just reset and reload?

2019-05-31 05:38:03 UTC  

@Rhunespire How dare you suggest that. What are you, anti-diversity? Reee!
