How to turn hostels into hotels

It just occurred to me that there is a way to turn every hostel in the world into essentially a hotel: Sleep during the day. Then you have the whole room to yourself. I've been using hostels since '96, so it's pretty incredible that I only just realized this. I guess it has to do with my currently f...

Shot Caller (2017) is a movie every man should see

https://d1mm3624z6jafc.cloudfront.net/movies/posters/Shot_Caller_DVD%202d.jpg?v=20 Shot Caller has the same general concept as Brawl in Cell Block 99 : take an A-list movie star and cast him against type as a hardcore tattooed criminal trying to protect his family in a prison drama, and, surprising...

MCU going SJW

In my view, Spider-Man: Homecoming was the movie in which the MCU went SJW. Previous movies had the odd SJW element here or there (e.g. Heimdall made black for Thor), but they weren't noticeable if you weren't looking for them. And then suddenly, with Homecoming, we have a deluge of blatant SJW mate...

Roosh's mental breakdown

Say what you want, but what happened to Roosh was a mental breakdown. We can't discuss that on his forum, for obvious reasons, not the least of which are common decency and respect, but I think it deserves to be discussed... for the sake of science , really, if nothing else. After all, Roosh is a ki...

icycalm's ten-fruits-and-vegetables-a-day guide

The general rule of thumb is that you should be eating about five "portions" of fruits and vegetables a day, preferably different ones (i.e. not five bananas). However, at some point I read an article that said that while five is sufficient to derive most of the benefits that research shows you can,...

PREVIOUS: SELF-IMPROVEMENT VS. GAME As far as I was concerned, then, the whole point of game was woman (and not, for example, Krauser's notch-counts or Roosh's flag-hunts), so I began by thinking about how woman—or, more generally, the female of the species—had been attained by males throughout hist...

PREVIOUS: REALITY SETS IN AND THE TURN TO SELF-IMPROVEMENT From nerd to woman might seem like a large trip to make, but it isn't really, since effeminacy is precisely one of the key characteristics of nerdhood.

PREVIOUS: THE SHEER COLDNESS OF COLD APPROACH It helped a great deal that they dubbed what they were doing with the label "game". Men—and especially young, weak and sexually-inexperienced men—take very seriously women's opinion of them, and a few harsh rejections are all it takes to make them questi...

PREVIOUS: DEFINING GAME Our starting point for defining game, and therefore for really understanding it, is a brief overview of its history and of previous attempts to define it.
