Just sharing my thoughts on having kids since it’s probably a bit unconventional but I’m curious who might share this view. Don’t mean to come across triggering. Ever since I was a little kid myself, probably around 8 years old, I thought having kids was the worst decision I could make. Here’s what goes through my head personally Selfish reasons: I picture myself my absolutely miserable giving away my freedom. Being tied down with way more responsibility sounds like a nightmare. My version of happiness is doing spontaneous activities like traveling, thrill seeking, and anything adventurous while having minimal problems and responsibilities to worry about. I just don’t see the upside. I’m sure a Christmas morning with kids would be nice (it happens to be Xmas today lol) but besides rare little moments like that, I don’t see a single benefit that a dog wouldn’t provide. There’s too much to mention but I can sum it up as money, freedom, peace of mind, good conscious, million times less potential problems, relationships with friends and partners, way less responsibilities, etc… Selfless reasons: I can’t imagine bringing anyone into this world. Even if it wasn’t for the fact that the world seems to be falling apart and becoming harder and harder to survive in, I still think there’s way too much pain and suffering involved, and I’ve only lived the best years of my life so far. The problem isn’t necessarily the world either, I feel like we’re mostly screwed because we’re born with brains that are literally incapable of happiness. Maybe some contentment at best, mixed with a crazy amount of suffering. Even if you just so happen to live the best life of all time that’s still the case. Nevermind if they’re born with, or go through, more problems than the average person, then the pain is just astronomical. Right now I happen to be living the life I’ve always dreamed of, I’m not depressed, and I still think all of this all of the time 😅 I wouldn’t even want to wake up my kid in the morning to go to school, I would feel too bad for him lol. I would just be thinking why the heck did I bring you into this world where you gotta get up early to go to school thousands of times, and that’s just the beginning of it all. There’s no point to you suffering through this life and the suffering you’re causing me by watching your suffering. My heart wouldn’t be able to take that alone, once you add in potential bullying, mental health problems at school and whatever else, I would probably be crying everyday thinking about it Back to only living the best years of my life, what if I get to 80-90 years old and I’m like holy crap… the last 20-30 years of my life have been incredibly miserable, now my kids are gonna have to go through this phase of their life too??? Just to die a painful death at the end of it all… World perspective: I could be wrong, but I don’t see the world benefiting from me having kids either. More pollution, more resources being used, more animals being consumed.. I don’t really know if the world needs more or less people, it seems like we already have too many if anything lol. Maybe if I cared about the human race continuing for as long as possible I would have a different view but as far as I can tell a lot of people are miserable and we would probably be better off not existing at all or as animals 🙃 I’m sure a rabbit has it better than any human does anyway 😅 (at least less suffering) Just my perspective, I don’t think anyone is right or wrong, I just know my outlook goes against the general narrative of society so I’m curious how relatable it is. Don’t mean to sound ungrateful for life and the blessings that I have, but we’re in a purgatorial realm basically and there’s no escaping that. If this was more of a heavenly realm, I would have kids right now for selfless reasons just so they can experience how amazing everything is and be truly happy most of the time. I realize everyone is different and wants different things. I’m sure tons of people had kids and it worked out great for everyone and I’m truly happy for them. I’m not sure what my mindset says about me but at least I’ve put conscious thought into it and know exactly what I want and don’t want.

Supposedly when you’re trying to put on muscle you’re supposed to consume about one gram of protein per pound of body weight. I weight 158 pounds. I normally eat 4 eggs and sausage, a turkey burger for lunch, and a 12oz of steak for dinner and still can’t hit that number lol

I feel like it would a good thing to know how limited we are by our genetics, whether it be totally or just very little. If we are completely limited, then we’d know not to compare ourselves or others as much, but still have a healthy attitude about growth and not feeling like we can’t improve at all. Wish we could hear your perspective 🤞

That must mean GTA 6 will be the most impressive feat of mankind lol. Can’t even imagine the work that must go into a game that takes 10+ years to make Besides that I honestly thought AI would easily be able to make video games relatively soon. Kinda disappointing from a consumer perspective

Guy literally made my life better. About to set up a Gofundme for him

John Anthony wasn’t a good dude which is pretty obvious but I thought he actually had some of the best advice when it came to game. It’s actually sad that his channel got taken down. If you looked past his mental health issues you could find some of the most simple straightforward advice. He was the opposite of a lot of these coaches that teach gimmicky, complicated BS. On top of that I feel bad for the dude even if he was a total cyberbully that had it coming lol. Losing your business like that is brutal.

If we are God, is there any reason to pray? If so, what is the right way to do it?

What are some of your top resources for becoming the most attractive version of yourself as a man? Looking for Youtube Channels and books mainly. They can books/videos that cover attractiveness in a general sense or specifically game and interacting with women.

Which protein powders can you safely use that don’t have lead or heavy metals? Does this even exist?

I live in Vegas. I would be interested

I basically feel like I know nothing. Where as some people kid themselves and pretend that they know more than they do, I just can’t do that. Ive spent a whole lot of time trying to figure things out about myself and life in general, and all I feel is confusion. I also feel like I lack perspective and gratitude because I have everything I’ve ever wanted and feel unhappy most of the time. I don’t understand myself and I don’t understand life, what am I even supposed to do, read a book and understand nothing again? Take psychedelics, traumatize myself and still know nothing again and be ungrateful for everything again? Life is so pointless and mysterious that I don’t even know what to ever be thinking about. Should I accept that I know nothing and just skip around trying to enjoy life or what? Lol

How often should this be done and how long does it take before noticing results?

I plan on holding it for as long as possible. I don't see myself needing it anytime soon. Basically putting it away for retirement

This will be a really basic question but with current events going on in the world, any insight would be appreciated. At the moment I have about 300k in my savings. I've never invested any money in my life and I'm 33 years old. I want to put my money somewhere safe where it's basically guaranteed to grow over time, even if it's just enough to keep up with inflation. Should I invest it all in the S&P 500? Should I put it in a money market for guaranteed returns? Should I assume the market with crash and wait until that happens to put it all in an index fund? These are basically the questions I'm asking myself, I feel like I really need to do something with it.
