america in 1950 is not america today. there is a VERY BIG difference in cultural norms in this country today. there is no way an ad like that from gillette a few months ago would have been shown in america in the past. on top of that, women and minorities are being celebrated, hence the attack...

you are not in the 5th grade. you don't need to make personal insults to get your point across. especially as an older man. what am i supposed to do now? make fun of you and figure out some names i can call you? does this make sense to you? i come from a traditional culture with clear gender...

then why are powerful men refusing to mentor women in the business world? too much #metoo risk. remember that men are judged based on their resources they bring to the table while women are based on youth, fertility, and chastity. doesn't matter if a guy isn't hot as long as he is wealthy and...

not to take that i live in the U.S. for granted and not shit russia, north korea, or any sharia law based nation, i am extremely grateful that my side of the story can be heard. i am not here to justify mgtow or anti-feminism or whatever. i am simply saying what i see from my perspective and my...

justifying abuse of gender? um, i clearly said when a girl invites sexual advances, SHE WANTS it. this is not abuse. abuse is what the people talked about when they are taken advantage of, as in being minors and not knowing what is going on, or in cases where they are drugged, etc. where exactly...

like i said, the typical female wants it both ways. first she was a horny slut and all was well as her sexual desires were being fulfilled but then at any second, her brain said stop, and now she became the victim instead of the taker of pleasure that *she* herself invited. the hypocrisy is...

yes the typical male wants to have sex with women whenever possible. of course that is obvious which is why "the internet is for porn." sex sells bigtime and men are the ones chasing the women. with this basic fact that the world openly knows (and women take advantage of with hypergamy based on...

nope. red hook has a strong projects area AND that place has its own police precinct. you'd be targeted by LEO as a possible drug dealer or trafficker of sorts.

yes but you have to go stealth as this city is densely packed. you can easily move around blocks all the time but don't stick out. you can actually sleep on the boardwalk for free from june to october. i was there yesterday (at coney island) at 4:30 a.m. for a jog until 5:30 and saw plenty of...

um, alabama has some really HOT girls dude. *that's* THE reason to stay! home cooked food and home cookin' in the bedroom. why would any guy wanna leave?

i noticed that it actually turned into couchsurfing.com now.

yeah couchsurfing.org is excellent

maid service for room and board sounds good. household chores take up so much time. cleaning the kitchen and bathroom is time consuming. if you add childcare to that list when the landlord is away, you may get some offers that are legitimate. this is called a live-in caretaker. alternately you...

this is an incredibly enlightening post from the beginning. what a way to look at how culture is a manufactured aspect of capitalism, beyond simple societal norms.

i was a public school teacher at the high school level. i faced this daily. but these are kids and have no choice but to accept what the local dept. of ed. teaches its kids. the killer is college-aged young adults who are going to get destroyed in society when they exit college. the world is a...

i live here in a large city (new york) so it is unfair to compare but craigslist and many other similar "freecycle" websites give clothing out for free through regular people. salvation army and goodwill have some cheap deals or you can hit garage sales. most travelers are on a tight budget so...

i am speaking from default laws of visas and residency. this is very common here in usa where ppl. come to easily get into the country, work right away, and become citizens. you can go from k1 fiance to a full citizen with a u.s. passport in 4 years. yes i know someone who went through this...

if you are a fraction and i group you with a set of whole numbers. wouldn't you stick out as a fraction? if i have shades of black white and grey and you are yellow, wouldn't you stick out as a color? similarly you will stick out as a person IF you let that happen non-verbally. when in rome, do...

an easy way to work in any country is to marry a girl from there. a visa will come immediately. japan included of course. also, why not quid pro quo your way in se asia? work and provide a service in exchange for food or housing. you can even work on projects so you choose to freelance as you...

i was reading this thread today and this song coincidentally played today at the dollar store when i went shopping. when i see those people who ran away or are gone missing, it is devastating. family is the foundation of society. when you don't have that, and i am betting most people don't, it...

the entire city uses craigslist in the rooms/shared section. some men also trade room for sex, but even if you're gay, that's an extreme risk for many reasons. i have seen guys trade room for sex with girls too. all of this is happening on the nyc section of craigslist. roomi is an app that is...

i have lived here in brookyn for 31 years. some options to help you: the beach - in the spring and summer (you will freeze to death in the winter, really), you can hang out on the beach here (from brighton beach to the end of coney island) and the cops leave you alone. i do see squatters there...

you have experience running a small business (that art store in santa cruz). how about selling other stuff? retail is retail and it doesn't matter what you are selling in the end because income is important. it's great if it's art but if not, still make some money. hate having to hear that...

you are absolutely fucking hilarious dude. you're a f'in clown! LMAO!

i say go the stable route. keep your job. work out home ownership first. is it even yours legally? then see if the tenant will move out at the end of the lease if you really wanna be up there. note that home ownership sucks. you have to spend a lot of money and time maintaining it. i rather just...

this is also happening in california in parts where they have "tent cities." it's not just DC that's authoritarian.

on a flight of corner stairs at my college. right after i came, i said i have to go to class so i am not marked absent (i was already a few minutes late). girl was pissed! lmao. other time was in a home improvement store bathroom where we got caught and the entire store saw us both come out of...

point of mentioning the jeans was just to compare trends and time-eras. today all the young kids wear tight jeans. baggy jeans are way out. it's just a little detail i remember. i actually (today in my life) wear nothing with logos and even get them removed at the tailor. i am not joking. i like...

they didn't all get wealthy. one did (he is the executive vice president for bear sterns in the legal dept. for the entire company; he had studied securities law) whilst another rode his coattails to get a cushy job in the company. another opened up his own nightclub, first in russia, and now in...

damn i LOVED having friends. every single friend i have had during my youth has either moved away or up and out of the economic class (the biggest issue i have had) we were in as kids. some did turn to drugs while others became very wealthy. i just stayed pretty much around average. they were...

this book is better than no book. look at it that way. it has tips by seasoned vets and compiled with great care. yes you can go online and hit random forums and websites but this is a nice affordable start-me-up so you don't start out completely lost and blind to the life. experience is the...

i meant casual wear. i would *only* wear sneakers on a long walk, not even shoes/boots.

have thin sneakers/shoes (the less material blocking his foot from the surface, the more air that reaches his foot to keep it aired out) have ankle socks (less of the sock covers his foot so less to wash and more of his foot is aired out) wash twice a day, once when getting up and then once...

you have to understand that the aristocracy deems homelessness a choice rather than an affliction of a time or transitional period alongside the obvious mental health issues. they are likely arguing the survival of the fittest tactic amongst their brethren - throw out these bums to the sharks...

when urine is excreted, material the body no longer needs is released. urine is sterile. there is NO bacteria removed in that fluid. remember that (if you do research) tribes from the deserts such as western sahara in africa drink camel urine for hydration. you should not hold a full bladder...

i have lived in brooklyn for 29 years. as a rule of thumb, do NOT go to a shelter. ever. the mindset in there is like that of prison. you always have to be on guard and ready to fight at any second to defend your turf and property. a large % of mentally ill people are in there. you are far safer...

i liked endless summer nights by richard marx. reminds me of a time when i am carefree traveling and enjoying the moment of life as it's a warm night and everything is alive.

hobby? it's first and foremost a business. whether it's porn (someone was paid to make that clip), or going out on a date (you are buying something like food), money is exchanged. even if you just have sex with your partner, you still want some food afterwards or something and that costs money...

nah, no misinterpretation. i look at choices i have made and ultimately i always put people in charge of their lives. not children of course but adults, yeah. if you failed, then i will look at you and tell you directly that you suck and vice versa. i am not a guy who believes in luck over...

lmao @ saying i'm a team player. uh no, i'm not. i am here to make my paycheck and gtfo. i don't give two shits about yous guys (brooklyn accent) and especially not my asshole boss.

this. i don't mind the kids part or dealing with family. what i do mind is money and free time/work. i have worked with kids to teenagers for over a decade. it was some good stuff but a vast majority was just a nightmare. a child is a full time job. i mean not only do you fund that child...

yeah, 2016 is the year (really end of 2015) when i decided i won't plan for the future again. nearly every single thing i do, i f it up and yes it's my fault, not society, not my parents, not some bad luck. now i just do the best i can, like everyone else, and know that mistakes and screwups are...

a short while ago, a few centuries or even less, a schizophrenic or any disorder that showed its face was supposed to be someone who was possessed by the devil. if you were a woman, you were guaranteed to be called a witch and then (rightfully) killed off. society believed all this bullshit for...

try out an experience first. see if you like it. it doesn't have to be permanent. start small.

that i hate humidity. i mean really really HATE humidity. to be specific, the dew point is what i hate. anytime it goes over 50 i am in trouble. at 60 and above, i am dying. it routinely goes to 60s and up in nyc in the summer. i don't hate summer as i loved july in vegas (dry heat = hell yeah)...

an old man once told me that ppl. are difficult to get along with in general. your bf is just another guy like me or joe the plumber. everyone has their quirks. if you can figure out tricks to get along with each other, the relationship will last. otherwise, there's no point.

no i never have nor wanted that impulse to do so. i am a animal with a finite life. i realize that. i accept it. no afterlife. nothing. this is all i've got. obviously i don't believe in god nor accept any religion. i will happily take the pain and stress of daily life for the pleasures in...

also reminds me of terminal illness, most recently that girl who "died with dignity" instead of putting burden on her family: http://www.people.com/article/brittany-maynard-died-terminal-brain-cancer PS - big pharma does not want you to do that. it will try to keep you alive as long as...

what's good about someone wealthy (not just famous) is that that person is making a program for the public, to help the public and society itself. her mantra of life for society is live, love, and laugh. a large % cannot do so (even if they are functioning adults) because of work and societal...

could have pulled it off at a super remote location...but then again foxes, wolves, and other animals would try to eat him...there is no way the govt. would allow this. how dare he get off the grid? the govt. wants him paying for cable, electric, sewage, homeowner association fees, geico car...
