      It also says “I’m poorly educated”. in the wild, wolf packs are mostly families- a breeding pair and the kids that haven’t left on their own yet.

          yup.

          the Alpha/Beta/whatever pecking order thing was established from observations of captive wolves in packs that were forced. it has more in common with the dominance heirarchy of prison culture among humans than it does with wolves being wolves in nature.

            The dude who did the study even said it was wrong and a bad study to apply to wolves.

            Imagine if an anthropologist said: this is a paper on normal human behavior.

            And then the first line is: to get an accurate representation of a population, I went to Rykers Island.

      In the US, and basically everywhere else, being born into the right family is 95% of what makes someone “wildly successful”, so I’m not sure that’s totally wrong. He just didn’t have to earn it like he should have to.

        Ya p much. At 18 isn’t really enough time to really earn success. You have to have been incredibly lucky in one way or another.

        Or, more likely on this case, I’d guess moderately successful with help, and on the wrong side of the dunning-kruger to realize what “wild success” even is

    In the mirror universe, in 1952, a young Fred Willard was walking through a chemical plant when he fell into a vat of preservation fluids. Instead of drowning him, the fluids embalmed him alive, making him ageless, immortal… and evil. 72 years later, having mastered the art of crossing between realities, he now stalks our world, neither dead nor alive, seeking carnal pleasures and absolute power. He is… THE ALPHA MALE.

    Coming to theatres this fall!

    Alpha: unstable and unfit for the general public.

      Or a fellon, seeing how the whole alpha wolf BS these guys base themselves on turned out to not exist in nature. That behaviour only exists in captivity.

    At this point I’m suspecting every single one man who feel the need to write “Alpha Male” in his resumé to be gay with daddy issues.

        Most of young boys are fine and innocent.

        But I guess that saying « he’s an alpha male » instead of « he has way too many problems to solve before being able to come out » would be funnier and accurate.

    Oh shit, the young Jimmy Carr mannequin at Madame Tussaud’s came alive and is now a real little boy.

    On a side note, I couldn’t remember Jimmy Carr’s name, but googling “brittish standup annoying laugh” returned Jimmy Carr in the first result. I wonder what would happen if you googled “ventriloquist dummy turned standup comic most likely to be into snuff porn”

    Update: it doesn’t return Jimmy Carr, and don’t google yourself :(

      A cryptocock might. A fragile success, but a success nonetheless.

      Depends what you call wildly succesful. If you got straight A trough all classes until you’re 18, or you already have your own business and it actually makes money, I would call that wild success

      On my 18th birthday, I had a college scholarship, a job in an auto repair shop, a pilot’s license, and I owned a new pickup and a new motorcycle. I had a girlfriend who looked like Joan Jett if she had grown up listening to Green Day instead of AC/DC. And I didn’t look like the tendon sticking out of a chicken tender crossed with a 14th term senator. I was pretty successful for an 18 year old.

          They could’ve gotten it from trade school for free, some high schools offer it for no price. I’m 19 years old and I’m making $30/hour working in IT. I didn’t go to tech school for computer networking though, I originally went for auto motive. I got my CompTIA A+ certification, and I also have my own electronics store on eBay where I sell Libreboot computers and other hardware (routers, switches, etc.).

        Fake name, but a real white nationalist running the account and, shockingly, talking about real Secret Jewish Tunnels that he probably wasn’t actually involved with but are hilarious.

      Yeah, because he’s not real, lol.

      Ideologues will believe anything if it means they have someone to feel morally superior to while they lob, underhanded, their schoolyard-tier insults.
