I feel like things are too easy in modern times.

Like, everything's accessible INSTANTLY now. Everybody got a smartphone and they can access almost anything with it instantly. Also young girls are soo open and easy to get in this modern time. And even low tier **** jobs pay a lot more than before(now an average UPS driver without a college degree makes 120K/yr due to union strikes and what not. When I worked there like 10 years ago, they paid like 30K). I honestly feel a little lost because there's really not much of a challenge and "winning" doesn't feel as good since everybody can get basic money/food/girls etc etc. I can honestly feel that this over-abundance of material and easy life are slowly and surely making people purposeless and lost.

What do you guys think?

Sure. I can either go on cam with you or you can ask me a super hard question about South Korea that only a native South Korean can answer.

Do South Koreans really take their kids to growth clinics to get hormone injections during puberty to ensure they'll grow tall?

My hypothesis is that without the rampant use of growth hormones that the Koreans would be similar height to the Japanese (short to average, but very few are tall).
Everything I post is satire.

Sort of agree. The problem is you either can afford expensive rent in an apartment, or you are out on the streets in a tent where some meth head can stab you. No middle ground unfortunately.

And girls are harder than ever. Your shadow competition is insane.

I mean some do but it's not common at all and you have to be approved by some medical process in order to get the growth injection.

Now, regarding height, "historically" Northern Chinese were the tallest and Koreans in the middle and Japanese/Southern Chinese the shortest. There's a lot of historic records of heights of different regions within East Asia. It's the same with Europeans where the Northern they are, the taller they are.
Northern China is dry and cold while the Korean peninsula is somewhere in the middle(neither too cold nor too hot) and Japan overall tends to be warm and humid(except maybe hokkaido region).

yeah.. the thing is inflation adjusted minimum wage is so much higher now than 10, 20, 30 years ago AND there's a lot more welfare for people like free housing and free food and etc etc right now than 10, 20, 30 years ago. There are so many drug addicts that spend all their welfare checks and sell their food stamps to get more drugs or buy cigaretts/alcohol (actually pretty common). Also they often get kicked out of their free housing units because they get caught doing illegal drugs.


Also what do you mean by shadow competition?? The reason I say girls are so much easier now is because girls have gotten more open and liberalized and dating and ****ing became more common and casual. IN THE PAST, girls were more conservative and serious about sex before marriage or dating itself, which means you had to go through more hurdles and jump through more loops to either **** a hot girl or date a hot girl.

but tah'ts not what I'm saiyng. Let me rephrase it. Winning is being the top 1-5%. But my point is that since "bottom tier schmucks" can get things so easily now due to the overabundance of material things and girls, being the top 1% is not as shiny as it was in the past.

I know. Not right off teh bat but after some years of wokring. About 10 years ago though, UPS drivers that I worked with were making 30-40K after some years of experience. So.. it went from 30-40K to 120K because of union strikes. The world is so ****ed and doomed with socialism.

10-20 years ago, white girls were hard to get. Not even joking. Nowadays, they're so easy. I started dating one earlier this year, I got bored and I dumped her. And last week, I went out to a street in college town cuz I was bored and started talking random white girls and got numbers from a few of them. Not only that, but this thread ->https://forum.obnoxiousbrutes.com/showt...post1688910253kind of proves my point. Take a look at that thread that I wrote and it will open your eyes. Srs.

We probably live in one of the easiest and most comfortable times ever (like peak Rome times), but life is also much more complicated and unnatural which makes life almost sterile. That's why so many people are obsessed with travelling, going on adventures, doing crazy as chit, tattoos, partying, doing drugs just to fill an empty void. Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum where people just rot away in comfort playing video games, fapping and eating like chit because they don't have to do anything.

I like the idea of starting your own business vs. being a wagie to compare this idea. Being a wagie is way more comfortable and with less responsibility. That's why it is so soul sucking. Low risk. Being an entrepreneur is higher risk, uncomfortable and more responsibility, but has a much greater fulfillment level.

So you almost have to create your own strife to scratch that itch of goal oriented fulfillment.

LMAO I also wish for a time when everyone struggled for basic money and food. Those times were the best man!
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."
