Jordan Peterson revealed the uncomfortable truth about what women really desire in men: 1. Women don’t just look for a man they love. They look for a man they can respect, rely on, and build a future with when life gets serious. 2. A strong woman doesn’t want a weak man she has to carry. She wants someone who can stand beside her, challenge her, and still make her feel safe. 3. The more successful a woman becomes, the smaller her dating pool gets. Not because success makes her unattractive, but because her standards naturally rise with her own level. 4. Highly accomplished women don’t intimidate men on purpose. But their intelligence, ambition, beauty, and status can make most men feel like they have no chance. 5. Men are more afraid of rejection than women realize. When a woman looks like she already has endless options, many men don’t even try. 6. Women often look across and above their own level. They naturally desire men who are equal or higher in confidence, competence, maturity, status, or stability. 7. No woman wants to build a life with a man she has to parent. She wants support because marriage, children, and family demand a man who can carry responsibility. 8. Men and women experience time differently in dating. A woman near 30 may think seriously about children, while a man of the same age may still feel he has years to decide. 9. A young woman is often valued immediately. A young man usually has to build himself before the world starts paying attention to him. 10. That’s why men are forced to develop depth. They build skill, confidence, money, personality, discipline, and status because looks alone rarely carry them. 11. A real man is not just older, richer, or dominant. He is emotionally stable, mentally strong, and capable of making a woman feel protected without controlling her. 12. Modern dating is painful because desire is not politically correct. People can say whatever they want, but biology, age, ambition, status, and attraction still shape choices. 13. The hard truth for men is simple. Don’t complain about women’s standards. Become the kind of man who can meet them. 14. The hard truth for women is also simple. Success gives freedom, but it can also shrink your options when you expect a man above your level. 15. Peterson’s point is not that men or women are wrong. It’s that attraction has rules, and ignoring those rules creates confusion, resentment, and loneliness.

Kyle also led all High Major players in Stocks per game with 3.5. Standing at 6’9 with a 7’3 wingspan and a 44 inch vertical Kyle has the tools and frame you want from an elite defensive big in the NBA. Kyle’s mix of elite athleticism, rim protection, defensive versatility, offensive rebounding, finishing, and motor is all of the traits teams are looking for in their rim running bigs in Kyle is one of the best in the class in all of those areas. On the defensive end Kyle uses his length and athleticism to be a highly impactful rim protector who also doesn’t foul which is extremely rare. He’s also versatile enough to play in a lot of different defensive systems and he's also versatile enough to switch onto smaller players. Kyle is also a high level help defender and uses his agility to make quick decision plays on the defensive end. Offensively he’s a very efficient rim runner who’s a strong screen setter, lob threat, while also being able to push in transition. He’s great at positioning himself for dunks where he finished with 59 this season. Kyle is also an efficient long dunking finisher where he shot 66% on layups. Kyle is also a solid passer for his archetype and has the ability to make plays in short roll situations. Kyle is one of 3 players since 2008 to have a BLK% of 9, a STL% of 2, make 50 dunks or more, while fouling under 3 times a game per 40, joining Brandon Clarke and Anthony Davis as the only other players.

THE "CONSISTENTLY PROFITABLE" SKILL GAP & THE MYTH OF SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME FROM TRADING For many new traders or part-time traders, there is this pervasive belief that with some time and effort, they'll be able to make "just" a few grand per month to supplement their income. Or they "don't want to aim big, they just want to replace their current salary via trading so they can have more freedom." This is because people mistakenly believe that trading is like most other jobs, rather than it being a winner-take-all performance endeavor more akin to becoming a professional athlete. 99.9% of athletes will never make a dime professionally. There is no market demand for your average high school or college player. To even make league minimum in the NBA, you are still in the .0001% of basketball players. There is no such thing as just deciding to casually make a few grand as a pro athlete. Think about what it takes for someone to make $50k/yr as a golfer? The skill gap to earn an income or make the league minimum is crazy to comprehend. The analogy I gave with AT09 was the story of Brian Scalabrine. Even though Brian Scalabrine “sucked” in the NBA, he would absolutely annihilate 99.9% of the people calling him trash. He once said the famous line that he’s closer in skill to LeBron James than his haters are to him, and that line perfectly explains trading. The gap between unprofitable and elite looks massive from the outside, but the real canyon is between unprofitable and making any amount of money consistently. People look at a trader making $1M a year and think that’s a different species. They assume someone doing $100k a year is basically the same as the guy still blowing accounts, just with better luck. That’s like saying Scalabrine and your friend who plays pickup on Tuesdays are basically equal because neither is LeBron. Going from $0 to consistently profitable is the hardest jump in trading. You CANNOT just casually make a few grand per month or supplement income part-time. The skill level needed to consistently make ANY AMOUNT trading is the equivalent of being in the league. A trader who can pull $100k a year out of the market is not “kind of good.” They have competency in finding edge, executing trades, handling their psychology and risk management, and are competing in the league. From there, scaling to $300k, $500k, even $1M is usually a function of size, capital, and refinement, not a complete identity shift. But the trader still stuck at breakeven or red? They’re not one tweak away from $100k. They’re not “basically there.” They’re still trying to prove they belong on the court at all. The uncomfortable truth is this: the distance between $0 and $100k is far greater than the distance between $100k and $1M. One requires becoming a professional. The other simply just requires becoming a more refined one. My confidence in taking a trader from $100k to $1m is probably 10x higher than my confidence in taking a trader from $0 to $100k.

Karam Hamié wrote on FB: On the Sidelines of the “Generations of Sayyed” Scouting Gathering organized by Hezbollah in Lebanon today, in what became the largest scouting assembly ever recorded worldwide, Lebanon, a small nation by size but not by spirit, hosted a historic event marking the anniversary of Sayyed Hassan Nasrullah's martyrdom. It was also the most extensive scouting activity in Lebanese history, and arguably in the Arab world. More than 74,000 members of the Imam al-Mahdi Scouts from across Lebanon took part, representing nearly every age group except the youngest. The level of discipline, coordination, and precision in their performances impressed observers, underscoring the strong sense of purpose and organization among these youth. Many families even covered the costs of transportation and uniforms themselves, a gesture that spoke volumes about their commitment. Despite operating with limited funding and volunteer staff, the Imam al-Mahdi Scouts managed to pull off a massive, meticulously organized event, one that many well-funded institutions could hardly match. It highlighted the group’s capacity for mobilization, strong leadership structure, and deep community trust built over decades. The event came just days after Lebanon’s General Security Directorate reportedly foiled a Mossad-linked plot, uncovering explosives intended for attacks during the public gathering of Sayyed Hassan Nasrullah's martyrdom anniversary on September 27th. Yet, in a striking act of resilience and defiance, thousands of Lebanese families still chose to send their children, transforming their participation into a powerful message of courage in the face of fear. The gathering also marked the 40th anniversary of the Imam al-Mahdi Scouts, an organization that has persevered through wars, sanctions, and social upheavals. The event’s message was unmistakable: you can destroy buildings and weapons, but you can’t destroy the spirit of a generation that refuses to surrender. Unlike many local NGOs accused of profiteering, mismanagement, and political opportunism, the Imam al-Mahdi Scouts have remained grounded in community service, maintaining their credibility and grassroots connection while steering clear of Lebanon’s typical cycles of corruption. Interestingly, the Lebanese mainstream media chose to ignore the massive gathering, despite routinely covering smaller, less significant NGO events. That absence, however, may have served as its own form of validation: “Generations of Sayyed” stood out as a rare example of integrity, untouched by the influence of money-driven media or political favoritism.

Been watching a lot of footage of 2028 QB and now Alabama commit Charles Scott Jr. According to 247 in 2025 the 6’5, 255 lb sophomore threw for around 3,600 yards and 41 TDS on 178 completions. Only throwing 4 INTs!!! Scott Jr (son of his high school coach) has obvious massive upside given his size. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that already as a sophomore, he has an SEC build. The Good: - Kid is LARGE, much like Alabama’s recent five star commit Elijah Haven, Scott’s size allows him a full view of everything going on around him on the field. Mechanics benefit from his size - strong throwing platform. - Flashes plenty of natural strengths, including an explosive arm that doesn’t seem to have to work very hard to push the ball vertically. - Even as a developing HS quarterback, Scott Jr already shows a lot of finesse. Accuracy in highlight tape (provided below from Scottboyz on YouTube) is on the upswing, especially on layered and touch passes. - Although not technically a massive run threat, Scott Jr, given his size, can stress defenders on the ground, especially in short yardage situations. Areas for Refinement: - Shows promise with timing routes, but will get better as he matures over the next couple of season. - Mechanics are not fully polished as to be expected from a young QB, but raw traits still shine. Footwork under pressure! - Will grow into faster processing speeds as he continues his path. Will need this as he makes the talent jump to the SEC. All-in-all, this is a rising recruit in the 2028 class - one that will garner a ton of attention over the next several months, especially now that Alabama fully seated at the head of the table. Another potential eval masterclass from Kalen DeBoer, Ryan Grubb, and Bryan Ellis. The scheme fit for Scott Jr is perfect at Alabama. The size and arm talent are there, with touch on the way. Combined with intangibles such as high football IQ (coaches son) and a very strong relationship with Tide staff - this is a solid pickup for Alabama. The QB position remains in great hands moving forward in Tuscaloosa.

To suggest that women who don’t present in a “traditional feminine” way are being refused access to women’s bathrooms, and then additionally blaming women for it, proves the sexism & misogyny of gender ideology & it’s most loyal supports like this idiot here. Humans can tell the difference between males and females. This is a fact. It actually has very little to do with clothing. There are thousands of gene expressions that make sex clear in almost an instant. Blind people can tell the difference. Deaf people can tell the difference. Basically, even if you don’t have use of all of your senses, you can still tell the sex of people you’re interacting with and/or those around you. It’s that ingrained. Even in the (very) rare cases that a second look is required - for various reasons, many not even to do with gender ideology - sex is confirmed on that second look. This was a very important evolutionary skill for survival. It is involuntary, primal and accurate. But let’s just say, for fun, that this idiot has even half of a point: that there is an overcorrection by women from years of men invading women’s spaces. Perhaps a trauma response for some. It still isn’t women’s fault. Because it was MEN GOING INTO WOMENS SPACES. They are the first principle here. Billy Bragg’s insistence that, no matter what the angle, women are to blame for everything actually only proves he knows that women are a distinctly different class of people to the men who claim to be us. He never blames them. And it’s him unknowingly admitting this distinction that makes him an idiot.
