that above is the video/reason we're all gathered here today.  For those of you who don't have the time right now, the TL;DR is below:
 
 
1) You don't feel like your life is getting better by the day
2) You never faced your bullies
3) You rely on others (family, friends) to make decisions for you
4) You are physically weak
5) You get friend zoned
6) You can't say no and stand your ground
7) Your friends make fun of you / don't treat you as an equal
8 ) Your existence largely centers around pastimes (video games, movies, shows, etc)
9) You make excuses
10) You have no sense of style
11) You don't look at people in the eye when you talk to them / you get nervous around people
12) You barely have any sex / you have bad sex
13) You actually have a big ego, but you can't control it / it is fragile
14) You are a follower
15) You feel offended by this video
 
It seems that it's time for Dr. Raver to get the scalpel out.
 
 
1) You don't feel like your life is getting better by the day
 
Welcome to depression.  Also, some people are happy where they are.  This means NOTHING as far as who that person is.  Sometimes you take the day off.  Does that mean you're a beta male..................or that you might be retired?  NEXT!!
 
2) You never faced your bullies
 
 
While I feel this is important to a child to do, it is only important to do it as a child IMO.  I mean what,  Are you a 20,30, 40-something year old man running around still looking to beat up ol' Hank Henshaw for knocking you into the mud back in 1st grade, then I must say to you to get on with your life.  
 
3) You rely on others (family, friends) to make decisions for you
 
 
It depends on what, how much, and why you are relying on them.   I will always ask my good friend for plumbing advice considering he was a master plumber, I don't think that makes me a beta male.  Now, if my life would be shut down while waiting on advice from people, then that is a problem.  Also, it'll most certainly annoy those other people.
 
4) You are physically weak
 
So much for body positivity eh?  I guess when you're a man you're not,"Beautiful at any size."  It's almost like people prefer certain types and images......................................

But don't you dare tell two-ton tina that she's fat or you'll be locked up.
 
Back on topic:  Let's face it.  I'm only about 5'6".  I'm am NOT going to be able to lift as much as the strongest powerlifters no matter what I do, legal or illegal, and this is before we get into the various diseases which can limit a person, such as Asthma or MS or Tourettes.  Trying to put a label on someone for that is just another reason why a lot of people are turning away from Society.  

You should look after your health, but not for the sake of anyone other than you.  Fuck what they think of you because you're the one that has to do the work.
 
5) You get friend zoned
 
 
I swear, of all the.........................................
 
so basically, you want men to accept being a beta because some woman refuses to see him as more than a "friend"?  Fuck you dead in the face.  
 
Look dudes.  If you're not getting what you want from this girl or that one, Keep going if that is your desire or cut them off.  The ONLY person who can put you in the friend zone is YOU.  DO NOT FORGET THAT!!!
 
6) You can't say no and stand your ground
 
 
I almost want to get the gif out, but I won't. 
 
How are these mother fuckers gonna tell you to,"Stand your ground" at the same time they're trying to use shame and guilt to push you into line with the "Alpha Male" herd?  You want to go over to see this, but the crowd says no.  You know that if we stay with this deal, we can make a lot of money, but the crowd has spoken and you've been outvoted.  Tonight's sci-fi night, but they "Insist" on watching other shit?  Fuck 'em.  Ditch them bitches.  
 
7) Your friends make fun of you / don't treat you as an equal
 
 
................................These people are not your friends.  NEXT!!!
 
8 ) Your existence largely centers around pastimes (video games, movies, shows, etc)
 
"And. Here. We. Go." - The Joker 
 
Would one of you want to explain to me how your time spent on videogames makes you a "Beta"?  In fact, let's just stop with this bullshit ass,"Beta" nonsense and call it correctly.  They mean LOSER.  They want to call you a LOSER, but that would ruffle the feathers and drop the viewership into the dirt.  Look.  If your pasttime is how you make money, then so be it.  If you simply work so that you can enjoy your pasttime, then so be it.  What if someone's favorite past time is travel?  Or modelling? or the Casino?  Oh, THAT'S okay because this is something that is approved of in Society, mainly because you have to go outside to do these things, not something you can do from the privacy and comfort (And relative cheapness) of your own home.  These fuckers think they're slick.............
 
9) You make excuses
 
 
Now here is one I cannot argue against and must indeed argue for.  If you intend to go anywhere in life, even to your front door, you have to stop making excuses.  To be honest, constantly making excuses will almost certainly cause you to become a loser.  It damn sure will cause you to be unhappy when you turn around and look at how many things you could have done were it not for making excuses.  This won't matter if you're an alpha, beta, or any other part of the alphabet posee.  
 
10) You have no sense of style
 
 
Again, If you don't look like what we want, we'll label you a LOSER.  Now, I would dare say that having a nice suit around will make you feel nice, but I could very well be wrong.  Also, You wearing nice, well-made clothes is a signal to everyone, including the gold diggers, that you have nice, well-made clothes.  Just sayin.  
 
11) You don't look at people in the eye when you talk to them / you get nervous around people
 
 
It Could mean you are shy, or that you were raised in an area where that was discouraged.  If you do indeed get nervous around people, then it is up to you to determine the best course of action to fix this problem, if you even perceive it to be a problem.  
 
12) You barely have any sex / you have bad sex
 
 
Mr. Heston?  It's that time.  
 

 
 
You KNEW this was coming.  Ray Charles saw that one coming.  Come to think of it, I'm surprised he hasn't been #MeToo'ed yet.
 
It's always about pussy.  No matter how far you go, no matter which direction you go,  no matter what the people say, It's always about the pussy.  You can't be "Alpha" unless get some pussy and if you want the pussy, YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME!!  🤣 
 
Gather 'round my boys. I'm going to tell you what happens when you finally get laid.
 
 
You can probably go outside right now and get your dick sucked for a pack of cigs.  A bag of weed?  Probably let you hit raw.  a six pack?  I'm sure there are not less than a dozen,"Cheerleaders" in your area that will pull off their panties for that.  For all the talk of women not finding good men, I noticed that the ghetto is full of kids and planned Parenthood is killing them off in ever increasing numbers.  That being said, I want to know exactly what mystical magical properties does this pussy have that will aid you in your quest to go from ,"Loser" To "Winner"?  I'll wait.  While we wait...................................
If you need some pussy right now, I hear Angel Adams is open.  
 
13) You actually have a big ego, but you can't control it / it is fragile
 
 
Personally I've seen this more from the so-called "Alphas" than anywhere else.  Still, we all know someone with an inflated ego.  Not sure why having a fragile sense of worth would make you a beta....................Looks at the current SJW videos................Oh. Oh yeah.  Well, their problems go far deeper than just ego, but I see your point.  
 
14) You are a follower
 
Not one that can be argued with, but I do argue with the way they are trying to say it.  Again, this comes down to much the same as number 6, where you have to depend on others to follow you instead of following someone else.  Your ideas may be better, but if they don't care, then you're a beta?  ☹️
 
 As a former military man I know that we need both leaders and followers to have an effective military.  If everybody was a boss, then NOTHING would get done.  Not everybody will be a leader.  Not everybody should be.  If you're like me and you just like to get your tasks and go somewhere to concentrate on them, then cool. You should be a follower.  I just want my piece of the machine to work on, let somebody else worry about where it's going.  Lower pay, lower respect, etc.  But my job is done.  People like me do not need the fame and glory.  I am a simple man.  I do not need nor do I want to be some big time "Shot caller" or "Play maker".  If you are happy and satisfied doing a bit part, then fuck them.  They may never be thankful that you're there, but they will miss you when you're not there.
 
 
15) You feel offended by this video
 
 
Offended?  No.  Just tired.  This video was majorly another,"Be a man" Or "Man up" vid.  Look.  Once you've reached the age of maturity as is stated by your country of origin, you're a man.  What kind of man you want to be is up to you, not them.  In closing, let an oldschool rap group give you some advice as to what kind of man you should be.
 
 

holy shit I just ran into a "Vulkod" in Vampyr... this dude was like the HULK of vampires, man....he was also 4 levels above me....... it took a while to beat that guy, but I managed to kill him.
 
The "Coagulation" power really came in handy there... it involves blocking the blood flow and causing temporary paralysis.... after the fight I leveled this up so now I can paralyze my enemies for 5 seconds instead of 3.  I've also invested into the "Shadow Veil", and went with the topside skills on the skill tree for that...the damage bonuses are RIDICULOUS with that.... (becoming invisible for a while; attacking from invisibility gives me the damage bonus..you can see the numbers too.... I already did 550 damage to one regular enemy a little while ago; for just the first rank of that effect that is insane.)
 
BRUH... holy shit the revelation that just happened 😮  I had to take a break just now to sit back and reflect on everything that just happened... wow, man... everything about that scene, and the fight I just barely scraped by in....this game, man..  👍

I think Kelly Tran looks decent in real life pictures. Her last Jedi hair/clothing was a bit unflattering imo.

RIP Anthony Bourdain.
He committed suicide in his hotel.
I liked his Parts Unknown show.

Some folks have isolated the G1 score, cleaned them up, and uploaded them to youtube. (This was done a few years ago, but these guys have uploaded better sounding  versions recently)

She was supposed to be a frumpy mechanic so her look made her well...unattractive. Oddly enough I liked the actress that played her sister more. From the movie scene she looked better to me

yeah that's another one of the funny things about The Last Jedi fiasco.... Kelly is actually pretty cute, imo... but it looks like they actually tried to make her look terrible with that awful outfit and hairstyle.
 
Well, the countdown to the destruction of my staycation begins; it appears Dad is already on the road....I have numerous 10+ hour conversations/diatribes (and various "assignments"/advice/Life Coaching) to look forward to.  It's like if all the 24-hour cable-news networks merged with a history professor that does multi-hour lectures daily....and became a sentient being in the form of a human; that's my dear ol' Dad.

@MillionX If Nicole Arbour was unattractive, she's get even more hate. Our society gives "beautiful" people more of a pass. If poor Kelly Marie Tran was a dime, she's be getting less hate. Most of the shitty comments directed at her focus on her looks.

there's so much going on in Vampyr, I'll have to keep some notes on the ongoing saga here....maybe space this out a bit more to reflect on awesome things as they happen and are revealed.  I'm quite powerful at this point; level 14 or so with several offensive options.... I kinda regret buying that blood barrier ability though.  A barrier ability that only defends you from ONE hit is kinda silly (*at least initially; I think it defends against more once leveled up)... it would make more sense if it just had the time limit; like a few seconds of absorbed hits, or it lasts until your stamina or blood meter run out, something like that....in just about all action games there's going to be a LOT more than just "one hit" coming at you.  I may reset my skills just to get rid of that and use the points on something else.
 
 
*Nicole Arbour popped up on the Steven Crowder youtube show recently so I was watching that... of course lots of hate-filled comments followed.  I often wonder if the hate towards her would be so strong if she happened to be ugly?  Yes I'm aware of the accusations, but I wonder if her looks are somehow a factor in the strong opinions people have about this broad? I don't really care what she's talking about either way; I'm just there to look and have freaky X-rated thoughts about her.  It's still amusing to me that so many people just go right along with Matt S. being supposedly straight... it's like an "Emperor's New Clothes" situation, man...the guy is SO damn flaming it's hilarious.  C'mon, bruh....Nicole was his "beard" for whatever reason....maybe even a mutual agreement for publicity or something...no way that relationship was a real thing; I have a tough time buying that.

Yeah this is crazy, he was my main inspiration for wanting to travel and see the world. To think happened while he was filming another episode.

Another dose of my #1, the incredible Camila Banus.... wooo lawd yessss
 
 

I remember when this was Han Solo's low point 😑
 
 

So far, yeah... of course it's unfortunately not as flashy as a "stylish action" sort of thing, which is what I normally like...but it's good enough to work for me.  There's stamina to consider, as well as your blood "meter"...the amount of blood is of course your fuel for the major vampire powers (the cool shadow-dodge) is tied directly to stamina, apparently....you just have to be extra careful when fighting things that are more powerful/higher level of course.
