@slutmagazine That quaint saying is so true. Beyond the nonsense of trying to dread your kids, many aspects of child-raising are extensions of TRP thinking. The shit and comfort tests are different, but they're still there. Holding frame in the presence of bullshit tirades is ABSOLUTELY necessary. Managing "feels" instead of arguing logic and facts is sometimes necessary, at least in my experience.
@slutmagazine Yes, holding frame with your kids once they get to "talking back" age, is super-important.
You have to manage your kids in a manner not too unlike how you manage your wife.
Why the fuck would he want to dread the kids? As a father you're supposed to make them autonomous.
@slutmagazine It's complete nonsense to shame a man who has moved on from living a RP life to living a RP life and creating a family in a stable home. As for RP (and many instances, TRP), it's pitiful thinking from pitiful thinking.
Congrats @TiberiusBravo87, I've been the same boat you're in for some time now, it only gets harder. You have to manage your kids in a manner not too unlike how you manage your wife.
@slutmagazine I get your POV. We've only been on the planet as humans for a fraction of the 2 billion plus years we believe the Earth has been around, and we've had the ability to measure and record temps for a few hundred years, yet these "scientists" think they have climate change all figured out.
Burying it is fine for now until we can develop a way to cheaply throw it at the sun or into space :) Right now I want cheap, sustainable energy. In 50,000 years no one will remember any of us.
@Dope_D1ck I wound up watching the movie. While I am now more interested in reading the book (it was adapted from a 1970s George Higgins novel) It was a decent story and the line at the end was great. I could do without the backdrop of the 2008 election, but overall it was enjoyable.
@slutmagazine The opposition to using Yuma(?) mountain was largely political. Burying it in the desert is one of the better options. Making nuclear safer is far more cost-effective and environmentally sustainable compared to solar (the batteries ruin it) or wind (which doesn't work on calm days and most blades cannot be recycled). I'm more concerned that Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are involved.
@drake for those who don’t know, I’m doing RP on advanced mode. I’m married with children. I met my wife in a big city. Assuming you’re in the west, and especially in the US, it’s a guy’s market. Big cities require work because people are isolated, but if you put in the work you can find the LTR you’re looking for. The work you put in will actually refine your RP perspective (in a good way) since you’ll find yourself rejecting a lot of women once you figure out how the game works. When you’re surrounded by simps and betas, true alphas stank out.
Once you find the right person and have kids, the game changes and becomes harder. Then you have to balance the constant desire and fear.
If you want or need to be in a big city, adapt to your surroundings and thrive. Or take your confidence to suburbs or a rural area to find someone more inline with the ideology or demographics you’re looking for.
I was convinced I would find my wife in the suburbs or exurbs. She was literally right under my nose in a big city, even though she was from the suburbs.
