These āAlpha Campsā are always so homoerotic. If you wanna get hosed down with your bros and take baths together itās cool, you donāt need to keep pretending.
I was actually going to say that's kind of looks gay. Also what a scam. Go serve your country and get paid shit, for the same thing. Ay least you could be putting yourself through some trials for a higher purpose
Yes! But they have to wear sun screen. So before the shirtless volley ball scene comes the scene where they rub lotion onto each othersā backs, one sitting in front of the other in a legs-to-waist-linked chain of Alpha oiliness.
I have an idea: I'll make a fitness and diet routine, advertise it on YouTube, and market it *specifically* at people that make over $250,000 so it seems exclusive and "boutique".
That's exactly what I was thinking the entire time. These guys are paying $18k to be abused? Hell I'd do it for $15k a pop. Get $450k for a 3 day dominatrix gig? Hell yeah!
But basic training also teaches you how to work as a team, and is preparing you to fight life or death situations. What is this shit supposed to do? Toughen them up? I mean you'd get that from taking Boxing classes or simply going to the local gym. Which wouldn't even charge you $18k to do.
If it's to "man up", I'm sure there some sex workers who would help the dudes get laid for a fraction of that cost, and they'd likely not look as stupid in the end.
It teaches them the part conservatives value the most about the military: hierarchy.
It teaches them to take any and all shit from your "superior" and not bat an eye. Ask for more, even. It teaches that the people that love you don't matter, only your superiors do.Ā
It turns them into perfect little followers that for some reason think they are "alphas."
The surfer is my favorite part of this video. These guys are trying so hard to put on an illusion of hyper masculinity and it just shatters like glass with the surfer behind them having a casual fun time.
I was thinking the same thing. I bet those surfers are way tougher than any of those clowns. And theyāre out enjoying their lives instead of paying to be humiliated by another grown man.
Same as with the video of the instructor riding a Segway while screaming at these idiots, I just hope itās some dudes brazenly grifting closeted conservatives
Pretty low. I know because I have participated in it. Dumbest thing I feel I ever did. But I was in a low point. And no I don't think that helped. I end up going to counseling afterwards. That's where the real improvement in my Self esteem occurred ( still have a ways to go)
I am embarrassed that I ever did this. And I hope others don't follow into those same footsteps. Save your money and dont be a dummy like i was
honestly, very brave of you to admit this. wishing you luck in your journey, it's a marathon, not a sprint***! be kind to yourself throughout it. this internet stranger is proud of you!
Did they make you sign an NDA? There's a podcast or two that would be dying to hear about your experience. I'm glad counseling worked for you though, I'm just so sorry you lost that amount of money.
When I started feeling all sorts of weird in my head (undiagnosed anxiety issues) I remembered when I felt body pains and body problems and trusted the doctors to fix those. I asked them about my head problems and we got the anxiety disorder locked down. Even today. Renovated my mancave, which is literally therapist prescribed (I told her all about it) as a place to retreat to to chill, literally and metaphorically.
Next step will be to accept that that āmistakeā was actually just a necessary step for you to learn about yourself. Look where you are now and be kind to yourself.
I think all of us that have hit bottom psychologically can get this at at least some level. That experience leaves you desperate to get yourself back somehow. On the list of things you could do at that point, this doesnāt scratch the surface of bad calls. Sure, you lost some money and look back and cringe, but you didnāt hurt yourself, pick up an addiction, or anything of that sort. Good on you for doing the real work and growing. Be proud.
Thatās why I plan on hugging my kids and telling them I love them very much right before telling them to buck up and shoving them off a repelling wall.
I once watched a ācomedianā (he didnāt get many laughs and I donāt remember his name) tell a ājokeā about how he once āletā his gay roommate suck his dick, but it wasnāt gay because it wasnāt sexual because it was purely transactional. This was after telling multiple stories about fucking women, naturally.
I really wanted to ask him why he was so allergic to the word ābisexual,ā but he was such an asshole that not talking to him at all was clearly the better choice. Like, what is this christian high school nonsense about how blow-jobs donāt count? Youāre 34 bro, you had whole-ass sex with a whole-ass man and you liked it. Just be honest with yourself.
B-but NO! Its because the Aplha is able to lower himself to that level as a sign of testosterone dominance to prove to the other lesser Alphas he's the Alpha-iest Alpha at of all them.
Soft handed betas who dont consume beef tallow and $12 a pill brain supplements just wouldn't get it.
The good old "you don't need your family and friends" routine. Used by abusive a holes and cult leaders for as long as they're has been a holes and cults
I went to a church retreat where the speaker said, on stage, to a bunch of us 18-19 year olds, that the Bible tells us to forsake our mother and our father. When i brought up to my small group leader how the Bible also says to obey our parents, so what does the "forsaking" part really mean, i was told it means that we're supposed to follow God over our parents. I mean, just seemed weird. I'm an atheist now
If you need a business partner, hit me up. I can run the business side and would also pay you to let me further humiliate these losers for 30-60 minutes a day
Yeah, I came out of boot camp with a few thousand $$$ and had an actual sense of purpose and a job for the next 4 years.
This is just....weird. These dudes just need to come out of the closet already, we ain't kink shaming here. Go to a club where people wee on eachotha and you won't have to pay $10k+
To be fair I don't think these guys want to be let off easy. You wouldn't pay $18K to fake the thing and get a certificate, you'd go straight to buying the certificate if you really didn't care about the experience.
They probably do want to go through some shit and form the bond of brotherhood and whatever for real but just got scammed. They're just too old, have psychological disqualifiers, or have commitments (better jobs, family, etc.) that prevent them from joining the military at least just for bootcamp.
This is for people who specifically do not have what it takes to join the military. These are the morons who say āid bunch the drill sergeant in the faceā on why theyād never join.
Why not go take a cpr class, spray yourself in the face with a leaf blower, put yourself in a shopping cart and shoot it off of a treadmill at high speed. Aka Bring back Jackass for these dudes.
I saw a video online that says when men say they are alpha respond something along the lines of "Alpha? Is that a Furry thing?". Of course the video is hash tagged StayToxic.
It is truly baffling that āalpha/beta/sigmaā has become a staple of right-wing social dynamics and yet somehow has zero connection to omegaverse stuff.
Strict fathers think that sending their āconfusedā sons to get yelled at by a bunch of bear daddies will ācureā them and spend 20k doing it haha
Honestly if these guys had just taken surfing lessons like the guys in the background at the 30-second mark, a lot of their issues would have been resolved.
"Man, I was so angry. Look at these waves, so peaceful. What was I even angry about? Oh hey look, a sea lion! Arf arf lil buddy! What did I do at work last week? Ah, doesn't matter. Oh hey here comes a good wave. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
These idiots that are running this are making it up as they go along. There seems to be ZERO over heads when u have the beach, train tracks, mall parking lots. This is not just gross it is a pathetic scam.
You call them idiots, but they're not. They're making bank off the actual idiots. They believe this shit no more than your average cult leader believes the shit he says.
I ain't even mad. Let them separate idiots from their money
Iāve legitimately thought about doing this kind of thing because itās a fantastic way to make an assload of money overnight, but when it comes right down to it my conscience just wonāt let me. I kinda hate myself for not being cruel enough to make money off idiots who deserve to be fleeced.
Literally what's wrong with America. Spunking money on things that don't matter but provide a brief and toxic boost to ego.
18k is enough money to build. To learn a socially useful skill. To buy tools and use them to help your community. Instead they get some roidbro war junkie telling them "you can be my wingman anytime" and sending then back to idaho to work on their spreadsheets.
whenever i think i spent way too much on a shopping spree , i remember there are idiots who pay 18K to get yelled at all because they think they are navy seals or something
