:ssj: Have a really low power level; best friend has a higher power level than me :ssj:


Quality_Guaranteed posted:

So i'm about 27 years old and, well, to put it bluntly I have the smallest power level in my group of friends. I train harder than any of them, but it doesn't seem to matter. I won't pester you with questions about how to raise my power level; that's for Watch and Weight. But what I AM asking is how to DEAL with having a small power level. My friends and I are pretty big into martial arts training so we compare ourselves a lot, and i consistently come out on the bottom. The worst part is the way my friends act. They say positive things but I can sense the condescension. Whenever we show each other our kamehamehas, they always seem to single me out: "Whoa, Quality_Guaranteed! That was a big one! Be careful where you point that thing, almost took my head off!" And then they chuckle and smirk a little.

I just feel so frustrated all the time. I know that this isn't the way a true warrior should feel, and i should be more humble, but this just makes me feel worse when I remember this, like I'm always failing. I have a huge inferiority complex. So what am I supposed to do about this? I can't talk to my friends about it because they'll just give mock sympathy and then continue making backhanded compliments.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, but I'm guessing that those women are looking at North American white guys, which would cause any woman to give up on men entirely. The reactions from women in this thread are how women REALLY react to an attractive man. White men have never been the recipient of this kind of adoration, so it's understandable that y'all are confused

Yeah this thing is mega-dumb. Space travel in general is loving dumb and I wish people would just forget about it. I was glad when the Challenger exploded because it meant the end of space travel and we could just move on.

quote:

At least it's white people who are suffering for once. Not that that makes it okay, but compare this to Katrina where it was mostly black people who suffered the most; that isn't the case here. Yeah, nobody deserves for this to happen, but it IS a red state and they ARE notoriously racist and religiously extreme, so...I dunno, I guess it could be worse.

(This was about wildfires in Texas, a state where everyone is obviously white.)

quote:

I hate to say it, but there really are certain groups of people that are okay to treat like poo poo. Basically anyone who's not a member of an oppressed group, and by 'oppressed group', I mean people who are non-white, non-cis male, non-heterosexual, non-Christian, non-middle class or higher, etc. People with weird-rear end fetishes aren't an oppressed group, so gently caress them. I've talked about this before when it comes to childhood bullying, too. The only kind of bullying that actually matters is where the victims are being targeted for their race (non-white), sexual orientation, religion, class, or because of mysogyny and/or gender policing. Fat white boys getting mocked for being fat white boys is NOT a social justice issue and not something worth considering in light of other, more serious forms of bullying.

quote:

OP, I'm going to assume you are white and heterosexual, correct? If that's the case, then you have no right to be depressed. You have every advantage in society, and yet you're still a failure. Who's fault is that? Why are you overweight? Why do you have no friends? These things are 100% under your control. If you are unable to achieve success despite being a straight white male, then you need to look at the very real possibility that you actually are inferior to others. Nobody owes you anything, and you need to take responsibility for your life. Sorry if this is harsh, but you're yet another fat white boy crying about how depressed you are and I'm sick of it. There are people (minorities and women) who put up with so much worse poo poo than you ever will, and yet they persevere. They persevere because they're stronger and better than you are, OP. I don't care if you were picked on and ostracised as a kid: it's okay for people to treat you like garbage if you actually are garbage. It's up to you to snap out of your depression and take control of your life. Noone is holding you back except yourself. Stop being such a shut-in loser and stop being so weak.

Good luck.

I detonated a propane oven once. Propane explodes slowly, I had enough time to think "I have made an error" as the wall of blue flamed rolled into me.

I'll back up.

In 2009 I was working as a field technician in the Canadian High Arctic, measuring plants and soil and so forth at the most northerly police station in the world. When they built the very basic buildings in 1953, the RCMP installed a propane-burning cooker, a big white enameled thing with three internal chambers (oven, warming oven, toaster drawer), four burners on top, and about half a square metre of clean white work surface on the side. It fed off of a big propane tank just outside the kitchen window, which would last us about a month. There were 7 of us there for just shy of two months in the short High Arctic summer.
Poking Around Base Camp 1 by by ExecuDork, on Flickr

One other person and I spent a week on top of the mountain just west of the valley, and when we returned to base the other 5 people had gone off up another nearby valley for a few days. All of this travel was by helicopter. So we had the place to ourselves and the selection of food was better than the endless cans we'd been eating from up on The Dome. The other person went to bed early that night*, to her tent not far from the buildings. I was hungry and excited to find some reasonably-fresh bread in the kitchen. I decided to have some toast.

* We were well above the Arctic circle, and this was early August. The sun did not set, at all, the entire time I was up there. "Night" refers to the time between about 9pm and 7am, when the sun is roughly to our north.

The other group of people had told us they'd swapped the propane cylinder just before they'd left, and I'd had to re-light the stovetop (one pilot light somehow works for all four burners, with the exception of the back-right which was always a bit of a problem getting started) already. I forgot that the oven had its own, separate pilot light, accessed through hole at the bottom of the largest oven chamber.

I turned the oven on and put some bread into the toast drawer. This is a narrow drawer under the warming oven, and the flames below the warming oven are directly above the drawer. This was the worst toaster when it was working properly. It had the classic syndrome of bread-bread-bread-bread-bread-glance away for a second-BURNT. So I wasn't too surprised at the long delay, and just finding cold bread every time I opened the drawer to check. Then I clued in (halfway). There was no flame! Because the pilot light had not been re-lit since the cylinder change! Where did I put that BBQ lighter....?

I opened the main oven door and leaned in with the BBQ lighter. Just as I was inserting the flame into the little hole, a voice in my head stated "the gas has been on for several minutes and this ancient cooker has no safety cut-offs".

BOOOOOOOM

I woke up on my back on the floor in the middle of the kitchen. I immediately checked myself for flames and burns and found neither, and also no arm hair. I still had my eyebrows and my beard, and the smell of burning hair was very faint and coming only from the little curled up bits of charred follicles on my forearms. The kitchen floor was also filthy with decades worth of crumbs and dust from under the oven as well as an entire layer of peeling paint, stripped from the walls by the blast. The knick-knacks on the window ledge opposite the cooker were all on the table, and a cloud of dust lingered in the room.

The toast was perfect.

Sure, but Arrakis isn't just any planet: it's Spice World. The Emperor can act like a Saturday night diva about how the Harkonnens making the Atreides move over is too much, but he can't outright make them stop now that they're there- if he did do it, the interruption in production would mean denying the rest of the galaxy the chance to spice up their life, and since the noble houses- and the spacing guild, for that matter- want to never give up on the good times, they'd all have it out for him. That's how an outsider in the setting would see it anyway, so they could see how it would make sense for the emperor to seemingly just shrug and tell the Harkonnens "viva forever"
