Yeah I couldnt get past the 2nd episode. There was some big shot hitting on stick figure MC. She has absolutely no redeeming qualities

>I'm always shocked that people don't remember what it was like being a kid themselves, and what appeals to children.

say, a BOOMER would be slightly ashamed of his biker days. Would consider his old good days to be too dated. Would fail to recognize his 1960's fantasies are derived from the same archetype modern zoomers/alpha generation boys tend to enjoy.

>Adults make this mistake all the time with kids shows in general. Kids don't actually want to see children in kids shows, they want to see adults and teenagers, because they themselves want to be adults and teenagers. Yugioh for all its faults, gets this right, it's a bunch of adults and teenagers obsessing over children's card games.

Ah. A successful fella doesn't get his role models from TV. Neither books work though.
So, a guy who MANAGES is probably raised by a family of boring people.
(In layman terms: for such managers, white collar cushy position = success, respect; BUT, ALL WHILE a cool guy soving problems = silly bloke that comes and goes, no respect.)

>>226503
I think boomers were probably the last ones to understand this in the case of TV. I have been subjected to sorta watching kids shows here and there since 2014ish and holy shit they are bad. It's like if they made every show into some maddeningly braindead shit like teen titans go or fagventure time but for all kids to watch until they are like 15. Guess that happens when children's media is made by lesbians

>>226600
Random guess: the 'Murca guys are trying their best to mimic the stuff they don't understand - 1980s jolly anime / 1990s melancholic anime / 1990s straight up sad anime/ 2000s funny anime


and the process ends up in a mish-mash

>Some news portals were talking about employing ex-convicts by providing shelter, food, a job and other opportunities

Prison makes it impossible to get opportunities so unless it's part of the sentence, they need the help

>>226675
This. OP and other extremists have no answers except retarded "let's kill everyone" scenarios even Taleban doesn't adhere by.

Literally everyone in society benefits if those people get an apartment and a minimum wage job instead of robbing and murdering randoms.

>>226672
>Vandals and deranged individuals should be sent to community houses

to community cottages - tower blocks are not too good for several vandals vandalizing floors one against another

>>226669
Society benefits wrongdoers because doing so is an integral part of the sham. By rehabilitating some individuals society can effectively gloss over the structure that led to those people in the first place. Criminals/felons are also treated similarly to homeless and disenfranchised as one of lowest rungs on the social ladder that can be pointed to. The implicit warning is do as your betters say or you'll end up like them.

Mentally ill people (who are poor, it usually goes hand in hand) are basically a lost cause. I say that as one myself.
>>226671
Do you want to be forced to breed?

>>226669
Quick snappy answer: the society havent caught up with the fact urban life ruins the chances to mate (which makes crabs sad) all while also failing to realize not wanting to mate can also be normal for a crowded city (which makes volcels sad)

>Do you want to be forced to breed?


>>226673
>Because we live in a world of abundance with a welfare state. In olden times pro-social people tended to survive and anti-social people were rapidly culled, and people were family orientated to a much larger degree.

I disagree, life in big cities was not good for families with many kids. For thousands of years, the reproductive number in big cities was below 2.

not sure if you need my personal cringe from 2020

>>226997
Well, no. God isn't yet God, but will soon be God, by way of my actions. God does exist as someone already, but isn't yet god or God. Defeating Satan will turn God into God and a god, and gods.

I'm an atheist, too.

But I feel you might go by something else.

You agree everyone else is on the side of evil for Armageddon?

I don't mind if it's just me taking on everything and defeating everything.
It's how I become, and am, The God of War.

<wtf is delusion of grandeur

i actually started socializing a lot when i was 15. i tried many diffrent groups mostly in the real world. at some point you realize that no matter where you look 99% people are the same, the only diffrence being how they dress, where they party and their politics. the only diffrence is they got brainwashed by diffrent media. even the most alternative people have the same blueprint and it gets very annoying.

the very same traits and personality aspects of humans are displayed almost in full in any internet environment where socialization takes place, moreso to be found on internet groups of e-friends.

What I'm trying to say I guess is that, in general, if you're someone who likes people or people's company, then it will be easy to get along and find a group.

yeah its called insel vs volcel

>Magic is used to refer to just about anything in this post.
This isn't perfectly clear for some, maybe.

The term magic is used in this/(that) post to refer to just about anything, is what I meant by it.

That should be amply clear.

>>227002
Yeah, that, too.

I practice various forms of magic, and am proficient.

I'm not sure why you would think I was larping as a data entry clerk of all things. I worked as one until a year ago. You are right that they do receive a lot of applications, but the entry level job market is at an absolute all-time low right now all over the globe

Thank you for this, anons. Really. Your advice helped me sorting out my thoughts and making a decision.

I decided to keep my job until I'm able to invest enough money to guarantee permanent NEETdom.

>>226845
It's a quality assurance job. I'd rather not go into more detail, but I can tell you that I found it through a freelancing platform called Upwork.

>>226969
You really don't get the state of the job market in 2025, do you?

>>226970
Saying "You just don't know" is not an argument. You need to prove your point. You won't do that though because you are gay.

>>224780
Honestly? If you haven't by now, go to a few masses and see. Don't worry about the rules just yet.
Seeking God is the important part, and if you find Him there, you won't really have much of a choice but to look into the rest.
Try an Orthodox church too though before you dismiss the whole thing though if you find nothing.
I've never found much life in a Roman Catholic mass myself, just bits and pieces almost in spite of the rest of it, but I wouldn't have known that without going. But He speaks to people differently.

The rules are a complex topic. It's an attempt to use power/authority to force people to do things that are "good" for them by threatening punishment. But that defeats the purpose IMO. They are only good if you do them out of love of Christ and all the little christs around (those neighbors you're supposed to love as much as yourself), not out of fear of punishment.

I'm not sure how a Roman Catholic who is truly seeking Christ can internalize that. I guess if I could I would be one.

>>226011
For the Orthodox, priests are usually married because practically speaking the priests are the closest to the world and need to guide the laity through it. You're going to be a lot better at giving advice about rebellious kids or marriage problems or whatever if you've gone through that yourself.
Monks can also be priests though, and they would be unmarried. And bishops are traditionally picked from monks. So it's really only the parish priests and laity who deal with marriage.

>>224812
Literally no catholic thinks the earth is 10000 years old or whatever. The big bang theory was actually first proposed by a catholic priest

>>226945
The orthodox church is nothing but Putin's political proxy. In my country they asked the adherents to openly oppose NATO.

It has nothing to do with divinity, spirituality or gods.

>>226950
To be precise, Georges Lemaitre was an atheistic theoretical physicist whose day job was working as an ordained parish priest.

He solved the Einstein field equations and the Hubble-Lemaitre law is named after him
(with proof that the universe is isometric and rapidly & endlessly expanding, meaning eventually everything will cool down and die permanently).

>>226952
The Patriarch of Moscow does seem to be pretty fucked up lately.
But that doesn't really speak to the Orthodox church as a whole unless you're suggesting that the Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, and Constantinople are all Russian plants somehow.

>>226934
Oh well. Honestly, this is a formality. I've seen a bunch of these threads throughout the years, and I felt compelled to create one. It's good to carry on the tradition.

>>226934
I stopped an power-tripping highlander from pressuring me by telling him I am 3rd gen fatherless


facts like that or wizardy are better off in a fight to scare off power-tripping yobs with that "fuck this whole street cred, i am loco"

>>226940
What?

>>226946
>>226946
I prevented a hazardous street-fight-starting argue from a dangerous-looking fella by telling him I am not just fatherless, it runs for generations + wizard status = he kinda enjoyed my 10-minute talk how people in big cities historically almost never seem to procreate enough to replentish the population thus making the city rely on new people moving in.

Your hunch seems shadier than the random texts I get about jobs on my phone.

>>226914
Since it's a HUNCH, I have to elaborate on the pieces of data I have

1. "Headhunting" agencies that hunt for proper workforce are a thing in the corporate world.
2. Recruting agencies also.
3. Agencies get $$$, big bucks, for finding a "right person" to fill an actual opening.
4. Corporate latter dream job has a problem sometimes: should a top notch clerk get promoted, the department loses the top notch clerk (minus productivity) and they need time to adjust for the new role.
5. The world of job applications has at least 2 foxy moves that ruin hones job search:

Uno. HRs are told to look for real cool people, but they don't really hire. The corpo suits want to pretend they're hiring new workforce *to trick investors into investing for implied growth*

Dos. A straight up robbery by the middle management. There is a project. They require X people. They hire X - 1, "iks minus one" heads, tell every applicant for the seat number X "you're not good enough, you lack some soft skillz that are detrimential"… or some other excuse… and then, the middle managers tell both the higher-ups aA D the guys at the project things are looking grim: there are little to no good people available so you should settle for an unpaid intern to do routine stuff. Then, the middle management demands extra $$$ for "managing" the problem and saving $$$ in salaries not paid in process.

>>226915
Exactly. I was talking about tech-related hiring on the wrong board.

>>226917
Headhunters don't give a shit about an unemployed job seeker. They contact people who already have high status jobs to work in even higher status jobs for better pay.

>>226944
Beingg a NEET is the most "high status" job there is.
