  • Based on that last bit of your post, it sounds like you may actually not be that familiar with the incel community.

    Short answer is that it goes much further than it seems at first glance. So,if you’re feeling unhappy about your prospects, I’d recommend looking into other communities for the sake of your mental health.

    Honestly, just focusing on a hobby of some kind and making connections with the community surrounding it would be infinitely better for you.



  • I always found it easier to basically automate the process as much as possible. “spend” every recurring expenditure and also set aside the most aggressive savings/investments possible using separate bill pay and savings accounts or buckets. Everything is taken out of the main account as soon as your paycheck hits, so it means everything you see on your spending account is a free dollar that you can use for fun or food.

    Some people might operate better with a set amount for groceries too, but I personally found that too restrictive.

    A good budget is one that you stick to, helps you achieve your goals, and crucially, allows you to enjoy your life to at least some extent. Whatever method works for you, it’s important to give yourself permission to spend some money on fun. However small.





  • The vote margin in swing states in each of the past few presidential elections has been razor thin. It only takes a few thousand people in each swing state staying home to swing the election his way.

    Centrist voters in the US are also quite prone to “fuck you” votes against the president’s party when they aren’t happy about economic conditions, and lots of Americans are feeling a cost of living pinch right now.

    In October polling, 78% of Americans said the country was headed in the wrong direction.

    It’s really not far from possible that he-who-shall-not-be-named gets in again. He has a hardened base that has been drinking the Kool-aid of his stolen election rhetoric, up against a disillusioned and scattered Democratic coalition that has been losing steam among demographics like African Americans and Latinos.

    He doesn’t need to win new voters. He just needs Biden to lose a few.
