Married Red Pill: Teaching Men to Game Their Wives

Neo red pill
My husband and I are in bed at the end of what felt like a very long day.

We aim for equality every day: equal time working, equal time parenting. Time together. Time apart.

But today it felt like I was holding the world together by myself.

I'm trying to tell him how hard it was, looking for appreciation, looking for a promise that he'll help me get more me time tomorrow.

He's not hearing me: He's defending. He's explaining. He's excusing. He's rationalizing.

I take a deep breath, measure my words, make sure this comes out as an "I statement":
"I feel unappreciated and alone."
"Well, you're choosing to feel those things."

Clearly, we need some help communicating.

I came across some relationship advice claiming to fix everything.

A whole new frame for seeing the world:

Is it time for America to break apart?

Fine then. Who is? And what is your country?
There is a question that increasingly arises, uncomfortably, in our conversations...from brief exchanges at work at the water cooler, at home with family, after church on Sunday, with our email messages to friends and associates. To watch any amount of television news these days, to switch back and forth between, say, CNN and Fox, and to listen to their interpretations of any event or issue, no matter what, that same question clambers in the background like an unchained wild beast:

What has happened — what is happening — to the geographical entity we call the United States, to its people, to its culture? Does it not seem like the country is coming apart at the seams, in just about everything, from its once-established moral base in a more or less historic Christian framework to its very vision of reality, of what is real and what is not?

Millions of "woke" social justice progressives now control the Democratic Party and most of our media; they dominate our entertainment and sports industries; they push for open borders and what amounts to "population replacement" of natives by illegal aliens; and they have a stranglehold on the near entirety of our educational system, from the primary grades to our colleges.

Prominent Israeli Rabbi calls for Third Temple to be built - thus fulfilling a doomsday prophecy

The rabbi argued that there's already a commandment in place that calls to build the Temple, and that issues such as the possible renewal of sacrifices should be discussed separately.

Rabbi Avigdor Nebenzahl, a prominent Israeli theologist who, until recently, served as the chief rabbi of the Old City of Jerusalem, has brought forth a rather sensitive religious matter as he called for the building of the Third Temple on the Temple Mount - one of the holiest sites in the world for Muslims, Christians and Jews, Breaking Israel News reports.

According to the media outlet, Nebenzahl stated that "we must do everything in our power to build the Temple," insisting that there's never been any sort of religious ruling that would tell the Jews to wait for the Temple to "fall from the sky."

Comment: It's notable which religions are calling for the end of days and how closely they're aligned with nations evidently attempting to bring that about: Also check out SOTT radio's:

Get woke, go broke! Procter and Gamble suffers $8 billion loss from Gillette

Gillette MAAM
KEY POINTS
  • Procter & Gamble reported Tuesday that it wrote down the value of its Gillette brand by $8 billion.
  • Executives attributed the write-down to currency devaluations and lower shaving frequency.
  • The consumer products giant has also faced increased competition from disruptors like Dollar Shave Club and Harry's.
Despite Procter & Gamble's write-down of its struggling Gillette brand, executives expressed confidence about the future of the shaving business.

P&G reported an impairment charge of $8.0 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, resulting in a net loss of $5.24 billion. The one-time, noncash charge was to adjust the carrying values of Gillette's goodwill and intangible assets.

Comment: Notice how this report neglected to mention how Gillete's new feminist advertising campaign might have had something to do with men choosing not to buy products from companies that tell them they are toxic! But, yeah, blame beards!

Leonardo DiCaprio, Prince Harry and Barack Obama are attending Google's climate gabfest
The world's rich and famous have flocked to a posh Italian resort to talk about saving Mother Earth — but they sure are punishing her in the process.

The billionaire creators of Google have invited a who's who of A-list names — including former President Barack Obama, Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio and Katy Perry — to the Sicilian seaside for a mega-party they've dubbed Google Camp.

The three-day event will focus on fighting climate change — though it's unknown how much time the attendees will spend discussing their own effect on the environment, such as the scores of private jets they arrived in and the mega yachts many have been staying on.

A Hindu man who complained on Twitter about his food order being delivered by a Muslim has been shamed by his fellow Indians, with even the founder of the food delivery app he used telling him that his business won't be missed.

Twitter user @NaMo_SARKAAR on Wednesday ignited a powder keg of social media outrage after publicizing that he had been prevented from canceling an order on Zomato after discovering that his food was being delivered by a "Muslim fellow."

In a series of tweets, the dissatisfied customer grumbled about how the food delivery app had "allocated a non-Hindu rider" for his order.

"@ZomatoIN is forcing us to take deliveries from people we don't want," he declared, adding that he had uninstalled the app and would "discuss the issue with my lawyers."

China has the largest expanse of irrigated lands in the world, which helps ensure food security at home, a water resources official has said.

China has an irrigated area of 74 million hectares, covering half of the country's farmlands, said Ni Wenjin, an official with the Ministry of Water Resources, at a Belt and Road forum on irrigation and drainage on Tuesday.

"The development of irrigation and drainage is one of the priorities of the ongoing rural vitalization and agricultural modernization drive in China," said Ni.

Comment: The scale at which everything China does is breathtaking.

UK watchdog warns of perils of unregulated cryptocurrencies

bitcoin
Britain's markets watchdog said on Wednesday that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have no intrinsic value and offer consumers few protections, but added that such coins fall outside the scope of its powers.

The Financial Conduct Authority said crypto markets were highly dysfunctional, with the onus on consumers to understand the risks associated with investing in unregulated assets.

"A combination of market immaturity, volatility, and a lack of credible information or oversight raises concerns about market integrity, manipulation and insider dealing within cryptoasset markets," the FCA said in a statement.

Despite those flaws, the FCA said existing rules did not apply to bitcoin and other tokens such as second-biggest coin ethereum, or to firms like exchanges and trading platforms.

Vatican accuses Israel of risking monks' lives in recent wildfire

The Church of the Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor has asked Israel repeatedly for basic services, including running water, but has been refused. A wildfire Friday caused significant damage due to this "negligence."

The Vatican's custodian of holy sites in Israel accused Israeli authorities of risking the lives of monks at a Mount Tabor monastery after a wildfire broke out Friday. The fire raged until early Saturday and required the evacuation of the Franciscan Church of the Transfiguration, which does not have running water.

The fire, which started on Friday evening and was only extinguished on Saturday morning, reignited an ongoing dispute between the Vatican representatives, Custodia Terrae Sanctae, and Israel over connecting the early 20th century church to water and sewage systems. For many years, the church has asked Israel to ensure it has running water, but the authorities demand that the church foot the bill for the infrastructure works, and several rounds of negotiations with officials at the Tourism Ministry and National Infrastructure Ministry have failed to bring results.

Blinding whiteness of 'party of diversity' spawns #DemDebateSoWhite hashtag

Amid a chorus of Orange Man Bad echoing from the Democratic debate stage, another color was on some voters' minds as Twitter gadflies highlighted the absurdity of 10 white candidates fighting over who'd best represent minorities.

Critics of the achingly PC identity-politics wing of the Democratic Party could hardly believe their luck as the first night of round two of the Democratic primary debates kicked off without a single nonwhite candidate on stage (despite three remaining in the race). A graphic calling out the melanin-challenged slate was soon spreading across social media behind the hashtag #DemDebateSoWhite.

"Remember every one of them calls the president a racist, as they stand on stage without one black person in sight," one user tweeted. Another slammed the Democrats' hypocrisy, pointing out that if 10 white Republicans had shared the stage, an equivalent hashtag would be #1 on Twitter.
