unforutunately...

I've heard it stated that how one views one's self is of very high importance when trying to predict or control actions.

I wish I could convince myself to move reading back up to higher rank than youtube.

IG, snap, etc plagues our society

meaning that if you want someone to die fighting for their country then you make them view themselves as a member of that country

same with race, family, tribe, social group, religion etc...

@Darkness I won't lie but I haven't read a book in a long time. I work 8 hours a day and code on the side a few hours. The rest of my time is gym, hygiene, food, chatting, gaming/discord/youtube.

Funny, I do think of myself as a *true american*

I served

I was always too fat.

I still am. Plus I'm diabetic. They don't want me rolling around out there.

@Xychotic I love it man. It's so simple. What about "higher goals?"

4 years

@Darkness Thank you for your service, sir.

@secrite What do you mean?

@Darkness I've wanted to serve since I was 18 (21 now) but I still don't agree with most of our conflicts.

You think I did?

@Xychotic Goals like "write a book, write an application, etc."

Oh, so, not higher so much as longer term.

@secrite to answer your earlier question HHH has a girlfriend. I am monk mode and have been for years. To each is own, I guess that's why it's called going your own way.

@Darkness I do assume everyone who signs the dotted line assumes responsibility. I dislike our conflicts but love the troops for the service.

why do ppl feel it's "my way or the highwya"

@Lilu What does monk mode mean to you?

take whats useful discard the rest

I want to start an online business, open a cattle ranch, create a cattle empire, become president of the US and then emperor of the world and then emperor of humankind (I'm not psychic, I don't think I'll manage that last one).

ffs

@Darkness Because they're all raised by women.

Haven't you noticed that?

@Darkness Can you elaborate with context?

I shoudn't have to

thats my point

@secrite I don't have physical or romantic contact with women

if it's helps you move to the next level, do it

@Xychotic What online business? I've been learning more about the carnivore diet so I would support that cattle ranch!

otherwise discard and turn the page

The world of *Should* is a beautiful place where carbs don't make you fat, women love you, and communism works.

@Lilu How do you avoid women like that? Do you work from home?

"my way or the highway" it's nonsense

There might be unicorns shitting ice cream tacos.

But, alas, *should* doesn't exist.

i'm no one's daddy
