Are Central American farm workers the ultimate MGTOW dream girls?

It would be funny to watch this asshole get a rude awakening trying this.

Those were all words, I guess.
Anyway, I hope he leaves farmworkers alone. And women in general.

@an autistic giraffe
I saw that and I feel the same anger. This is going to lead to a whole new wave of demonizing us in the media in response.

@tim gueguen
I assume this new book will include additional rules like “eat nothing but beef,” “avoid apple cider,” and “go into a coma in Russia.”

[M]ost women are ruined . . .

… by the opportunity to live their lives without a guy using them as a blow-up doll, taking their money, separating them from friends and family, insisting that his word is law, criticizing their looks and weight, beating them and their children, and attempting to shred their self-confidence.

I fail to see any downside to this ruination.

@Tim Guegen: Apparently Peterson is still quite lucrative. I expect him to be dropped (citing the concerns brought up in a show of ‘allyship’) if he ceases to be lucrative. Ugh.

OK, I have pretty much had it with this problem and I have the distinct feeling that people here are deliberately dodging this question. I will ask it again and I want an answer:

How do I avoid getting systematically screwed out of 5% or so of what I earn with my effort and skill at a task? If I am good enough to succeed at a task and I put in a determined effort in a particular instance at that task I am owed success in that particular instance, and should get it, and whatever the fruits of that success are supposed to be, 100% of the time. How do I ensure this? In effect, how do I hold the universe itself to its contracts with me?

Nobody else seems to have any issue with this. Nobody else even talks about it. They are just quietly competent, or incompetent, at various tasks, according to their individual natures. But when I do a thing, sometimes I am randomly punished with failure despite having done everything correctly and despite having demonstrated, in the past, the requisite skill. As far as I can tell the universe sometimes runs its “you half-assed it, so the results are a crapshoot” script even on occasions when I did not half-ass it. What would cause this error, or maybe bias is a more appropriate word, since it doesn’t seem to do this to anybody else?

Is there some error I could be making in the meta-game that would result in this? I.e., I have the requisite skills and knowledge for the specific task I’m doing but there’s some wider-context thing I’m not doing that I need to be doing. I expect that in social situations where there always seem to be palms that need greasing and other such stuff and NO goddamn documentation of any of it, but whatever-this-is affects things that are done solitary, involving only machines or inanimate things and myself, not other people, so it’s not that. These are things that should by their physical nature operate consistently and impartially according to exact and quantifiable rules, yet they don’t, if I’m the one interacting with them. At least, not all of the time. Think: a patch of floor that’s slippery for me and grips normally for everyone else, or a tool that works according to its specifications for other users but not me. Game characters with numerically specified power levels behaving as if their stats are 10% lower when I’m the one playing. Anything with a random component exhibiting loaded dice, with adverse outcomes more frequent for me than for other people and beneficial outcomes less frequent. But even things that should be exact and predictable pretending that I made errors that I never made. Even as simple a thing as sending a text message. I’ll sometimes see spelling errors in the message after it’s sent, even though I did not make any, and I know exactly how every word in it is to be spelled — the machine pretty much explicitly lying about me and claiming that my knowledge of even such basic things is less than it actually is, and in that particular kind of case, lying about me in the presence of witnesses. There should be no random element at all in typing in a message, and yet there it is, that 5% or so mystery error that cannot possibly be mine (since I’m competent enough at the task in question not to make any) and equally cannot possibly be legitimately from the system (which should be mechanically precise and exact, with no randomness, and is a digital channel, so noise cannot introduce errors at all up to a threshold, and should cause it to disconnect entirely past that same threshold).

Why does this happen? Where is that 5% error rate creeping in from? It seems to exist “in the gaps”, finding purchase anywhere where there is randomness (by loading the dice) and when there isn’t, worming its way into a system boundary somewhere. Between my fingers and a keyboard, between two machines on a network, between a tool and the object being worked. Like everything directly or indirectly connected to a thing becomes just slightly misaligned, as soon as I come anywhere near it.

More significantly: How do I get rid of it? What must I do so that the results always exactly match my actual performance, skill-and-effort-wise, or (in contexts involving randomness) average out to the same, and not a whit less?

Or is the world irreperably flawed, and I’m the only one in it who’s actually good enough at some things that I’m better than the world itself in those tasks, so that this noise source is affecting everyone, but no one else is good enough at any task to be certain that it’s external? This, I find more dubious. Surely Olympic athletes are better at what they do than I am at most things, for instance, and equally surely, no native English speaker is uncertain as to how to spell the word “into” and sometimes thinks it should be capital-I-space-tee-oh. (Noting here that it is simply not possible to accidentally get a capital letter by miskeying four letters none of which are closer to either shift key than four intervening key-caps. So the user would have to have intentionally shifted a letter, meaning they hold a wrong belief no native English speaking adult would hold … or else the “devil of the gaps” is the source of the error, not the user.)

No, if this affected everyone other people would be complaining about it and there’d be some kind of organized effort to do something about it. The extremely skilled, top-flight pros at various things would notice it impacting their performance. It’d be a well known phenomenon among pro athletes, for instance, discussed in their circles and with some known way to avoid it. It would also affect ordinary people at tasks that have a low ceiling, such as typing English prose into little boxes, which would make it noticeable to everyone else. So either it is singling me out, or at most some small minority of people … or it is something that everyone else encounters, and is taught the solution to, in childhood, but my abnormal childhood resulted in my being overlooked in this regard (along with, again, likely some small minority of other people).

Since this is a forum full of marginalized people, a lot of whom have had atypical upbringings or even specifically were non-neurotypical and got non-standard schooling and suchlike, there’s bound to be someone else in that small minority here, which is why I am asking here. Does anyone else here get this “missing 5% of performance” bullcrap? And if so, does anyone else here know what, presumably, every schoolchild with a normal upbringing knows about how to get that last 5% of what their skill and efforts have earned them, while also knowing which exact thing I am asking about?

I strongly hope that that Minassian defense gets laughed right out of court. A resounding “guilty” verdict would go a long way toward discrediting it, one hopes.

her only choice for survival, the sacrificial man.

It’s a shame that there are not more active volcanoes in the continental USA. No woman should need to drive for more than an hour to sacrifice her man.

Wait, Peterson’s new book is called “Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life”? He told us there were only 12 rules, not 24! This is bullshit!

@Moggie

Eh, just use the steelworks that Terminator has assured me is in the heart of every major American city. Vulcan is quite happy with sacrifices at the forge.

Side note: Did you ever get that power box you were making faced and installed in your Moggie? We were talking on it a few months back.

12 Rules for Haggard Survival

Sigh. You know, I don’t think I’ve completed a single project since the pandemic arrived. It’s like 2020 has caused a mental fog which has robbed me of the ability to finish stuff. Fortunately I retired in January, so at least I don’t have a job to mess up.

And look what arrived in today’s post. Another thing which is probably doomed to remain half-built until my brain reboots in the spring.

Weird how misogynist men all think that women are equivalent to children, and yet women are properly the party to raise children, including the male children that these men seem to think are the only real humans in the group. Why would you require a being that you don’t think is fully human to raise your sons?
