@Asatru Artist - MD I think the words are etymologically linked.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckoo
"Cuckoos have played a role in human culture for thousands of years, appearing in Greek mythology as sacred to the goddess Hera. In Europe, the cuckoo is associated with spring, and with cuckoldry, for example in Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. In India, cuckoos are sacred to Kamadeva, the god of desire and longing, whereas in Japan, the cuckoo symbolises unrequited love."

ah ok

i never looked back past cuckhold, but it would make sense

They knock the real egg out, put their own in, and fly off. Just like "my wife's son."

That def sounds like the black guy of the bird world...

My friend married a girl with a mulatto daughter. Now his stepdaughter is 14 and is very disrespectful to him. He would have been a great asset to I.E. before the marriage. Alas, I was redpilled too late to save him. I also found out he had a vasectomy. Double tragic, as he is very, very intelligent.

Oh dang

Don’t snip it!

That’s crazy

Doesn’t that go against every male urge?

Be like Bob Marley. Have 20 kids.

But on a funny reverse of that tale, I have another friend, a woman, who is somewhat gender confused and plays a pronoun game, but still presents typically feminine and has a typical husband. They moved to Austria, and the Muslims and Africans in Vienna are getting her very, very angry.

You have some interesting friends

Men (or at least bugmen) have been conditioned by the culture to fear pregnancy as a financial threat. It is toxic subversion.

That’s true.

I'm pretty weird. So my friends are too.

You seem pretty normal to me!

I have three good possible IE prospects though. One in NoVA, one in NYC, and one in Denver. I am going to take it slow.

Thanks, fren.

One friend said he thought FtN podcast was interesting...

I was talking to my semi normie friend about convincing people. He said he swears by Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People”

Very good book

I have that on my kindle.

Yeah. I think he’s on to something.

I’ve read it 4 times.

People just want to be heard.

@Deleted User That book is one that @Reinhard Wolff recommends as well.

Smile, remember their name, be interested the person and their interests.

*crap*

I'm bad at literally all of those @Wotan Reborn <:sad:366743316475281408>

You should ALL read it. No excuses. It’s short.

i can't even feign interest if i'm not actually interested

This is why Jordan Peterson is popular. Make it about other people’s needs, then Swoop in.

Happy Friday night, IE.

“Oh wow! That’s so intriguing! Tell me more!”

Hi @DeusVolk

Act interested in their interests.

And let them talk slightly more than you.

Yeah. Like, “so why did you dye your hair blue?”

The Patriarchy? Tell me more.

@Deleted User Because I wanted to make anime real, obviously.
