How to Build a Business, Not a Job

Many aspiring entrepreneurs start their journey with a dream: to be their own boss, set their own hours, and create something they’re passionate about. However, the reality for many small business owners is far from this dream. Instead of creating a self-sustaining enterprise, they end up building a job for themselves—one that demands more time and energy than ever before.

Why Aren’t Students Taught Practical Things In School? (Build Things, Sewing, Financial Literacy, Cooking)

The first and most obvious part of it is that the past couple years have definitely proven that adults at large do not have a great grasp of critical reading skills, along with other things that have been vital to understanding the world around them like how statistics work, scientific principles, or understanding research practices like peer review. This means that the average sixth grader definitely does not possess all the learning from the core subjects they’ll need.

Why You Need to Start Journaling Right Now

journaling

Alright, listen up. If you’re not journaling, you’re missing out on a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery. And no, I’m not talking about writing “Dear Diary” like a lovesick teenager. I’m talking about real, raw, no-bullshit journaling.

First of all, journaling is like a spotlight for your inner world. When you take the time to explore your thoughts and feelings on paper, you start to see patterns and connections that you never noticed before. You might realize that you’ve been repeating the same negative self-talk for years, or that certain situations always trigger a particular emotional response. That kind of self-awareness is invaluable for personal growth.

Why Trying to “Save” Women is a Losing Strategy

There’s a sad, pathetic creature often lurking in strip clubs – the guy who fancies himself a white knight riding in to rescue the poor damsels grinding on the pole. He’s the self-appointed savior no one asked for, the creepy dude trying to “fix” women who aren’t broken while simultaneously paying them to shake their asses in his face. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Captain Save a Ho.

This chump smugly looks down on the very women he’s objectifying, constantly pestering them with unsolicited life advice: “Why are you doing this? You’re better than this. Let me help you become respectable, m’lady.” News flash, Sparky – she didn’t ask for your help. She’s an adult woman who can make her own damn choices. Your condescending attitude isn’t noble, it’s insulting.

But our clueless hero has an ulterior motive. Deep down, Captain Save a Ho believes the only way his mediocre ass can get a woman is to find a “damaged” one he can mold into his dream girl. He thinks pouring nice guy tokens into emotionally vulnerable women will make them fall for him, overlooking his lack of any actual attractiveness or merit. It’s a sexual strategy based on preying on the weak. How honorable!

Here’s the thing though – healthy relationships aren’t built on pity or compensation. They require two self-actualized individuals coming together as equals. Any guy who needs to “save” a woman to get her interest is operating from a place of deep neediness and insecurity. It’s the mindset of a child, not a man.

So to any aspiring Captain Save a Ho’s out there, I invite you to grow up. Worry about fixing your own flaws and inadequacies instead of hunting for broken women you can exploit. Attempting to “save” someone as a backdoor strategy to get laid is a bullshit cope for not having the balls to work on yourself and pursue healthy, equal relationships. It’s time to retire the Captain Save a Ho delusion and start showing up as a mature, actualized man. Anything less is just a pathetic, unimpressive ruse that ain’t fooling anyone, least of all the women you’re targeting.

What’s It Like To Be A Hikikimori (Hermit)?

hikikomori

I was 16 when I dropped out of public school to finish up online. That is when my prolonged bouts of social isolation started. I had friends, but these friends were people I abused drugs with (to cope with our life circumstances), as they weren’t socially adapted like most people our age.

As time went on I ended up cutting off all contact with them and haven’t contacted them since age 18. I haven’t had a social outing in 5 years. It’s liberating but embarrassing at the same time to be saying that.
