Netflix has picked up “Highland,” a documentary mini-series about marijuana in Thailand. The show is produced by Coconuts TV and is immediately available on the Netflix platform.
The series depicts a lesser-known side of the Southeast Asian nation, far from the tourists and the tropical beaches. A growing community of Thai people is fighting a battle to legalize marijuana. The series probes pot’s legal status, history that relates to the U.S. role in the Vietnam War, and presents today’s marijuana entrepreneurs.
The series was produced in-house by Coconuts TV, a subsidiary of Asian digital publishing house Coconuts which “produces short videos exploring the weird and wondrous stories of Asia, distributing them on social media and licensing to broadcast and OTT channels.”
“Highland” was directed by William Mitchell and hosted by Sebastian Perry. Executive producer is Byron Perry.
They despise the immediate as trivial; I know that it is trivial, but cherish rather than despise it. Because everything, including infinity itself, is trivial. ― Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Dude, it doesn't matter anymore. Go all out or don't bother. Bitches act on a whim. You can be buff, sorta buff, or average with so-so scratch. Approach and don't falter, titanium clad brass balls with platinum engravings method. Things are imploding. People sense it. You know what shocks? Fucking normal. Plain ass normal. Be the void.

"We never said TRP was scary womanhaters, it's just rambunctious locker-room talk. But, could you tone it down a little, boys? It's kind of out of hand."
When a bitch can't shame you into compliance, her next tactic is to pretend to be your friend for just long enough to get what she wants. Too bad for them we don't have an attention span limited to that of a goldfish.

There are two types of people that I meet. There are people that are nice, friendly, and genuine. And then there are other people. I get along with the former. There is an absence of games and bullshit. I enter with a smile and leave with a bigger one. There are only positives. This is not the case with the other people.

All of what you said can be summed up by the quote, "Most men are idealists pretending to be realists. Most women are opportunists pretending to be idealists."
The other, minor difference is that men are polygamous, not hypergamous. A man’s imperative in a competitive marketplace is not necessarily to get the best woman. It’s to get as many women as possible with as little investment and commitment as possible. If he could do it, he would love to get as many women as possible at and a little below his own SMV, and have sex with as many of them as possible for as long as possible, without committing to or investing in any of them. That’s spinning plates. Historically reserved for sultans and warlords. World champ Genghis Khan had over 500 children. Ask the wives of successful men whom with they've shared threesomes. Most men don’t do this, because they can’t, because society shuts them down, but that’s a discussion for a different post.
A woman’s hypergamy imperative is to get the best one man she can get for sex and for provisioning. That’s why you don’t see many women having sex with several different men at the same time. Most women don’t spin plates; they pick the best plate they can and take care of it as best they can. Instead of trying to collect plates, they just change out the plates, one for another, when a bigger, better one comes along. Aka serial monogamy, cock carousel, credit carousel, dating up, etc.
This is why the best long term relationship is one in which the man outranks his woman in SMV. He should be at least +1 and preferably +2 in SMV. This makes both of them happiest in the long run. As for happiness amongst the general population correlated to current prescription rates for anti-depressants, again that's a discussion for a different post.
Deti summed this up adequately here, but the more high-minded of my critics will often think the “male imperative” is setting the bar too low for men, but usually this comes from a want of something more than the visceral truth of what motivates us. And I’d agree with this for the most part, if men are to become something more than their base natures would have of them. But using the same reproductive metric I use in describing women’s hypergamy I’ve also got to recognize that men’s drive for sex has been the incentive for our greatest achievements and our worst proclivities. Elon Musk re-invents three industries: electric cars, space rockets, and solar power; but the mother of his children divorces him twice. If we are to be ethical in our judgements we must be amoral in our assessments. Sometimes those assessments will be unflattering for men and women.
In the coming years we’re going to see more of the “women-as-oppressed” in advertising, in our cultural narrative, in our social dialog, because this is what a feminist-primary social order believes will resonate with damn near every demographic. And for those whom it doesn’t, then those who disagree will have to deal with those it does. As our billionaire owners force-feed us a constant stream of emasculation, more men will wake up to the fact that mainstream liberal culture doesn't want them. At least until the credit carousel ends and the $20 trillion debt comes crashing back to earth.
In the joy and pain of this mortal life, you will find most choices fall between love and addiction. Both will cost you your soul, but only one requires you to set ego aside and do real work on improving outcomes. Namasteeznuts.
