Sexual market valuation? Wtf are you theJPMorgan and chase of dustiness?

This would only apply to children under 6 (so far)
The transition of AmeriKKKans to primitive hominids will be complete within a generation
Can we cut this out? Your language indicates an ontology that sits a mere standard deviation from any run of the mill fascist
Someone had to say it. 
It’s been a slow burn since COVID at the very least.
One of the defining reasons I’ve become so disillusioned with humanity.
Seeing how little people actually value human life during covid kind of broke me
I watched my own family nearly kill an elderly relative of mine due to their own selfishness during COVID and then act like I was the problem for refusing to let it go.
I just feel empty inside at this point.

touch grass
Here's another excellent reason for disillusionment you have identified. People think if you just go outside you will be cured of anything at all, and they will recite this nonsense to you without fail. No one is allowed to experience social and political alienation because that is somehow a crime against collectivism.
But it isn't. These things are necessary to admit to move forward. The very infrastructure you would put others down for not valuing and not accessing does not exist.
This is how its always been.
Sure, something something everyone twelve. But going through the hell of k-12 Ohio public schools and watching things fold online, none of this is new.
It’s been getting worse and worse over the years for a while now
Mfs literally smashing their face with hammers wtf
I’ve seen those videos.
I’ve wanted to heavily get into boxing but I haven’t because I don’t want to get CTE, and here these guys are just doing it for free.
I feel like as per what sucks about traditional gender roles societally we have taken the "time to make it suck for everyone" route like, a lot.
Can someone translate this for me?
Basically incel shit leaked to mainstream social media like Instagram and TikTok.
People my age can become so insecure with their looks they fucking want to change their skull structure by basically tapping It with a hammer. I thought It was a joke at first but nah, It's a legit thing. Or was I think. Also the rating (0-10 scale) system which makes people insecure too is a thing.
just insane how 4chan went from being an armpit to basically being upstream of large internet movements
this shit sucks so bad man
Oh It's been shaping western internet culture for a while. It's offshoots too. Instagram is fucking vile and I'm saying that as my org's social media manager.
Everyone is pilled now, everyone is maxxing something. The slang pisses me off.
Pill maxxing and maxx maxxing
Taking the pill pill
i know man, watching that transformation in internet culture has honestly been sickening
fuck it bring back cringe 2010s shit at least it wasn't cursed
Cringe 2010s shit led to the rise of this stuff tho. The febrile climate which gave birth to gamergate
they fucking want to change their skull structure by basically tapping It with a hammer
Retrophrenology is finally here!
You dont want to know
Going to serious post for a moment.
Physical attractiveness is only one element of attractiveness. I'm not a good looking guy at all. Literally a hairy ogre of a man. Bald, fat, unibrow, the body hair of a 1800s Hungarian bodybuilder, severe underbite, and super squinty eyes. In over 25 years of adult life I've never once gotten hit on or flirted with. I've never had someone compliment my looks which is wild because once I was propositioned for sex by a coworker on a business trip and that woman had never complimented my looks at all not even during the proposition (I turned her down). My wife doesn't even compliment my looks.
That said, outside of being an insufferable asshole online, in real life I make people laugh, my friends and family come to me for advice regularly, I'm told I am a good cuddler, a friend recently told me "you are the safest man I've ever known" which I feel is a pretty solid compliment. These things increase a person's attractiveness a lot more than slightly changing your physical features. Will the toxic masculine side of society try improving themselves in any of these ways ? No. Never. Even though learning how to be a more pleasant, fully realized person is a way more effective way to finding lasting relationships (my wife and I have been together for around 20 years total).

"I'm so chopped bro frfr 😭😭😭😭" "Women ONLY care about looks/height" Fatphobia, eating disorders, veganism, trad wives, Goslings etc etc etc
Self hatred is among the few unironic, impassioned positions youths allow themselves to make. This means self hatred is an effective way to get attention online. It is wholly undignified but nothing will be done to stop it whatsoever.
I’m watching Adolescence right now and I don’t know how accurate it is (in terms of depiction of how young people feel about this stuff) but it is horrifying
Also all the steroids. And eating disorders.
