Official: Post a Picture of Yourself

We must look alike.

Top two pictures were both my brother :laughing:

You think I have the confidence to go to parties and shit looking that comfortable?

Shit, you don’t know me well.

But it’s awfully flattering for you to say I look like my brother, even if you’re only saying it for my benefit.

Thanks

Well then you only look like him in the first… :wink:

I don’t say anything for anyone’s benefit… my family can vouch for that :laughing:

One day I thought to myself… if I don’t experience the new in my lifetime I won’t have lived, then I truly became me.

Ben, life is a competition.

Competition - the activity or condition of striving to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others.

====

Dependent on the individual whether their life is a competition.

I don’t compete with others, and can’t be around those that do… they irk me so - so no, life isn’t a competition to all…

If you as an individual decide that you wont compete, then you’ve simultaneously decided to lose. Sorry man, you can quit the soccer team, and you can quit the job, but you can’t quit life and believe me, if you rest or if you are complacent then you will in fact live a lesser existence than those who choose to compete and can win.

Evolution… survival of the fittest.

You can see why some want to opt out.

The North won, Ecc.

The South gave in.

And The North enforced equality.

The stronger party, willed equality.

Nice try, Manchild.

Exactly. Nice try, Manchild. You tell me in another thread it’s all about integrity and here in this thread it’s about whoever has the stronger will. Would you make up your mind, you fucker?

The stronger party, willed equality.

Competition - the activity or condition of striving to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others.

You went into that thread masking your own need as mine. You had the integrity to admit it, but only temporarily.

You let a woman’s insecurity, validate yours. Keep in mind, Ecc agrees with your conclusion.

That’s your demise.

I try to empower you. They try to protect themselves.

Clarify, Verify, Instill, and Reinforce

And you call me a Manchild.

I show you more respect than any of them.

Have you seen an overly competitive person nearly kill themselves to win something?

Some compete with others, some compete with only themselves… I do the latter… infact, many people I know are the same and they are very successful in life.

I used to compete with others then I realized that I was way better than almost everyone, at almost everything so now I just continually raise my own standards to better myself. It’s like having to run a race to get better lap times because it’s a no brainer that you’re going to win all the races that are just against other racers.

The stronger party saw agriculture mechanizing and a need for cheap labor in northern factories.
Nothing to do with equality.

Only a naive child would think such a thing.
Or a defective human, looking for hope.

(PS: Those pictures idioticidioms posted of himself, did they make you angry?)

Yes, and I am willing equality. You just don’t like it because you don’t like where you’ve been taking yourself.

Who have I disempowered?

I’ve confronted you on your shortcomings.

Highlighting them for you.

That is a respectful act.


Do you want me to go back to your posts from a week ago, and quote how many times you said it’s OK to let people who disagree with you die?

Do you still hold that view?

Who decides what’s a shortcoming?

The Scientific Method

Idioms made presumptions.

I never said that people who disagree with me should die. I never said that one bit. I reacted in the moment and said something I meant in the moment that I didn’t mean later on, which is human. I said it because of how they were disagreeing and the fact that they couldn’t present suitably why they were disagreeing and I tore their arguments apart with accurate pinpoint analyses of them while they reduced themselves to mere insults because they had no argument left to suitably give.

And you, you’re nothing but shit to me. You have treated me like shit when I gave you respect. You say you respect me by pointing out my shortcomings, but you only ever pointed out one and that was the fact that I posted on an old thread of yours as if it were new and said something worth saying while opening myself up to you only to get stomped on in a cruel manner. I did not step on you for you opening your self up in that thread. No, I tried to give you the best advice I could until you tried to stomp on me.

You’re just a fool who doesn’t get it. And I do make use of the full scientific process. I make assumptions so I can test those; they’re called hypotheses and your reactions tell me whether I’m right or not. No matter how you choose to respond, unless you’re truthful; I can tell because I feel it for one and when I go back over and actually observe and analyze it, I see what it is. Which is why if I’m wrong, I urge others to prove it to me. If you can’t, then you’re not worth your shit.

I think he was trying to disempower me in the other thread.

Read the post, I said - My personal answer.

Answer - a solution to a problem or dilemma.

With that in mind -

I told him bluntly that he was talking to himself, he admitted it, then let others validate his insecurity.

Something that could have been countered, had he verified his presumptions.

He didn’t.
