Make yourself uncomfortable

This advice is aimed at improving masculinity and dominance, which will come in handy when dealing with male andrapoda as that's the only language they understand.

Always try to avoid comfort.
Start with your posture. How do you sit? How do you stand? Where do you keep your hands?
Have your spine and shoulders straight. If you are going to rest your hands on something, have as light a touch as possible. You should feel no or very little pressure on your fingers, hands and shoulders.
Crossing of arms is fine, as long as they remain uncomfortable. Practice this at home for extended periods of time. If others see you going from a comfortable to an uncomfortable position it will look comical.
When you sit, sit straight and do not lean on the back. You may want to lean a bit forwards.
When you speak, use your hands to articulate. Do not do big nor fast motions. Practice in front of a mirror. Speak slowly and eloquently. Always have a lower voice than the other person, both in frequency and volume. Don't be afraid to whisper.
When you walk, do not walk too fast and don't do jerky motions. Do not walk too slow either or you'll start to wobble from side to side and it will look comical.
Practice walking towards a mirror and making it look natural. You don't want any side to side wobble of your head. Don't look down or back.
When talking to another person, do not break eye contact. Stare them down.
If you are not talking to someone, do not make eye contact. If someone starts talking to you, take your time to make eye contact and to answer.

The more socialized the setting is, the less you will want to overtly display dominance.
In a business setting, you should show a tiny bit more dominance than the other party. Be it your client, your employer, your employee or your partner. Don't overdo it or you'll put them on the defensive.
With time, you'll get a feel for what is appropriate and what isn't.

Some of this is more worthwhile to pursue than others. I say this because doing spiritual work relevant to the lower chakras will make this behavior come out naturally.

Saturn is your endurance and ability to be disciplined and firm. Mars is your raw action, energy, and combativeness. The Sun is your ability to provide, vitality, and self-esteem.

Also, pay attention to "where" this energy is going. If you do a Mars square for "improving natal Mars" without specifying anything else, it will largely apply to the associated house. Yet, Mars rules the 1st house, which is why Aries is very self-oriented (to the point of being willing to kill someone).

As far as dealing with andrapoda, yes this is important. The degenerate ones will try to take advantage of you, or will at least not respect you. Beyond the above advice, make sure you are mindful of Neptunian/Pisces influence, which can weaken you to outside influence. This is good for sensing energy, but not when such energy/entity negatively impacts you.
 
This is great advice, but I strongly disagree with crossing your arms.

Your body language shows you as defensive, while the point is to look offensive.

But even if you are just pretending to look defensive, it is still a bad idea, from the self defense perspective. It is easier for someone to grab your arms and prevent you from moving them, than it is for you to get them in combat position.

Articulation with your hands comes in handy in this situation, because you are ready to fight.

When resting hands, make it in a way that is easy for you to get in combat position.

I know the advice was not for physical conflict, but it is good to keep this in mind, because your advice stands for anything really, not just business. It is good to keep a posture and body language that shows how strong you are, at all times.
 
Another thing I must add, if someone is late you must always humiliate them, or you'll be the one that is humiliated.
Ask them if they know what time it is or other kind of question.
They are going to justify but if they don't apologize, you must humiliate them further.
"It's common courtesy to call and let the other person know that you'll be late, haven't you been taught manners?"
If they get offended and leave, good. Fuck them.

Here is something constructive. Do not waste resources. In this case, food.

Food wastage is a good thing. It's the only thing that's positive for society and for the individual to waste. Food is made every year. What is not used, is wasted. But it's not gone forever. It's turned into compost and used to make more food. It's like water, you can never run out of it.
The more food that is wasted, the better. This makes it so that farmers produce more than is needed. You don't want them to plant the exact amount that is needed for survival or there will be starving people in case of a bad year.
Did you even go to school? This is basic stuff.
 
Againstallauthority you have shown an extremely offensive behavior in the last month, you are trying to present yourself as some kind of masculine messiah, but all you manage is to make yourself look ridiculous and not worthy of any attention, what you're promoting also looks like some bullshit you find on "redpill" forums. Your behavior is not worthy of this forum and if you keep on flaming and attacking people, while also posting doubtful stuff you will sooner or later be booted out.
 
I understand that this thread is a rather sensitive subject. Probably lots of you were victimized by someone like me in the past. This is your fault and your lack of knowledge that produced your trauma.
The solution is not to reject the knowledge but to embrace it and better yourself.

Yes, in best case scenario it is made into compost. This is not always the case. I have an ideal that is perhaps ahead of our current time. For now, you scenario seems to be the reality.

I think you have some reading comprehension problems. I understand that english is not your first language and I won't fault you for it.
I'm far from a masculine messiah. In fact I think that it's unfortunate that one has to act in a very masculine way with andrapoda but it's simply the reality of things.
If you think that it's all nonsense, I invite you to try to buy a business. You'll be taken for a wild ride and you'll understand what I'm talking about. I bet that they'll laugh at you in the first minute of talks.

"Never finish your food"
Cmon dude, it feels like you're literally trolling. If you really believe in that stuff I believe you don't really understand yourself.

Do you practice meditation and yoga?

Food that gets thrown into the garbage does not get composted or spread over farm fields. I don't know where you got this idea from, but I have never heard of any place that does this. Except if a person in their own private home decides to do this and spread on their garden. Or it may be common for some farms to do this, but it would be done with the things that the farm wasted. There is no infrastructure or procedure to dig through everybody's garbage looking for compostable materials.

In my part of the world, a first world country, food is not thrown into garbage. It's banned by law.
It's collected into special containers and turned into compost.

I do practice meditation and yoga.

The reply that I wrote to you was initially more harsh but I edited it out. I would of called you immature and young but that wouldn't help you.
So I made you a proposal to try to buy a business and see how you fare. I'm dead serious about it.

If you people were more serious, I'd make a step by step guide on how to buy a business at half asking price with no money of your own.
Imagine an investor inviting you for dinner and seeing you devouring all the food like an animal. What impression would you give? Of a complete idiot.

If you're actually serious, you really need to re-evaluate your thoughts on this.

Even in all first world countries, there are huge quantities of organic waste which are simply thrown out into landfills or burned, which causes extreme amounts of pollution. Then there is the issue that overuse of fertilizer causes ground and groundwater pollution that is difficult to reverse.

With how much food waste there is, it is too much to turn it all into fertilizer and find a use for it, especially because most of the fertilizer and compost demand is already met by agricultural byproducts, such as manure, organic matter that is discarded during the processing of crop into consumer products, etc.

Ironically, most fertilizer available is actually chemical fertilizer, not even a product of organic waste, and much of the fertilizer used by modern farming comes primarily from manure rather than organic waste produced from food waste.


Food is not something that can be infinitely grown without consequence, and in fact, neither is fresh water something which is infinitely available (there's a lot of places around the globe running into an imminent fresh water crisis due to excessive water wastage).

For fruit and vegetable products this is slightly less of a problem. Due to effective agriculture management and care for the soil, agricultural land can be kept productive for very long periods of time, however the issue comes in that excessive waste will put a bigger strain on the production economy, causing people to cut corners in order to produce more to make up for increased demand caused by the waste.

This in turn causes the soil or the quality and nutrient density of the food to deteriorate, making the food both give less sustenance, and the waste to produce worse quality compost over time due to mineral desaturation of the organic matter.

For animal farming, the impact is significantly worse.

Not only is it morally questionable to waste the material from an animal that is slaughtered, especially quality meat that is highly desired and demanded, it is also significantly more costly to perpetually increase the production of animal products due to excessive wastage.

The conversion of plant matter to 1 kg of quality meat is something like 10-1, roughly. Meaning to increase production of animal products by 10%, you have to ramp up agricultural production to cover the necessary nutrition and matter for these animals by a huge quantity as well, and of course, the excessive crop production is not conveniently repurposed to provide feed for the ramping animal production, since that crop is produced with intent to be sold to consumers, and regardless if it is sold or not, it goes to a different production chain that doesn't intersect with the feed production for animal farming.


The mentality which leads to food wastage, and excessive waste in general, steeps through the entire production chain and societal mentality, affecting all production and industry very negatively with this mentality that "waste is no problem, because we can just make more to cover for it".

This sort of mentality is not economically and ecologically sustainable because the ratio of wastage that can be converted back into matter to boost the production chain is not 1-1, there is loss involved, and the more wasteful one is, the greater this loss ratio becomes.

As this loss ratio grows, it causes greater strain both ecologically and economically, and becomes less and less sustainable with time as the excess strain accumulates with each production cycle, slowly but surely creeping up until eventually the entire production chain collapses due to over exploitation of natural resources (for agriculture this would be the soil, or the materials required to sustain ever increasing production demands without fundamental improvements in efficiency and sustainability).

This mentality that it is fine to waste, because it will just loop back into the economy and cause farmers to produce more food, boosting economical output, is completely backwards.

In reality, it would cause perpetually more wastage, or, more overproduction, which incurs ramping costs rather than economic benefit, inflation of supply and demand, which leads to actual inflation and in turn goes completely out of control. That is without mentioning the ecological damage this causes, which is well documented.

It also puts ever greater strain on waste management facilities, the production chain and the natural resources required for this, while perpetually leading to more accumulated wastage of materials due to the normalization of this mentality throughout the entirety of society.

Clearly, this is not a way forward, but something which leads to an eventual collapse, which unfortunately is exactly where many parts of the world economy are heading now, due to the normalization of these ideas that lead to excessive wastage and the pursuit of short term gain without consideration for long term sustainability.

Hail Satan!

Imagine yourself being a farmer that can't buy nor sell any food to others.
How much are you going to plant?
Are you going to plant the exact amount required for survival or are you going to plant more?
If you opt for the first option, it's only a matter of time before you get a bad year and you starve to death because you can't make it to the next season.
If you opt for the second, what do you do with the extra food? It's going to spoil and you can't eat it next season. So what do you do with it? You turn it into compost.

My point is that the wastage will be there one way or another and in the same amount.

Food wastage is annually in the 40%'s, that is almost half of all production.

This is not because farmers are over growing food, but because perfectly fine and healthy organic products go to waste is lieu of junk products and other trash that is overly caloric and is being taken as substitute for healthy organic foods of which there exists a huge market excess annually.

It is a very deep seated issue with many facets. Admittedly not easy to solve, but certainly not finishing the food you order at a café or restaurant or whatever is not helping the matter.

Which is why people reacted to you as if you were trolling, since it is a strange and sort of out of place idea to propose here.

We aren't exactly known to be people to care about standard or common business etiquette, and a number of the things you proposed are very random ideas only some posh pretentious upper class people would adhere to in an attempt to make themselves believe they are superior than the plebeian folk, when it's nothing more than a wasteful and delusional conviction.

Hail Satan!
 
I think I made an error here. I put out too much information too fast.
I should of just left the first post there for a month and then slowly added the rest.

Yes, I live in the 1st first world country. There are some cities that do this, but most places do not. But just because there is another color of garbage can does not mean that anything is actually done.

We have recycling, most people put their recycleable items into the correct cans, and do you know how much actually is recycled? All of the glass and all of the aluminum do get recycled because it is very easy to recycle these things. It is very clean, simple, and has no problems. I think that most of the paper is able to get recycled, but it has more problems and is not always possible. Paper has a very limited number of times that it can be processed before all of the fibers are too short to be used again.

And almost none of the plastic is ever recycled. All of the plastic is sent to China where we actually pay China a lot of money to take it from us and deal with it for us. But the plastic is all different types of plastics mixed together, and with many of them being dirty and having food or other things mixed in. This is worthless, and there will never be a way to sort out every piece to make them usable. The only thing that is able to be made with these mixed up plastics are those boards that look like fake wood grain that are used to make benches, picnic tables, and decks. Nearly 100% of the plastic that gets "recycled" either ends up burned, buried, or put in the ocean. There are factories that burn plastic and other garbage for heat or energy.

How much of the food that gets put in those garbage cans is ever used for anything? I would bet that the majority of those garbage cans are also containing plastic containers and utensils, and all types of other garbage that is not compostable. Does anybody care to sort through all of them? No, there is not an endless supply of money to pay people to individually sort through millions of bags of garbage making sure it is only food and no other garbage. I bet that some of it does get composted, but I also bet that nearly all of it just gets thrown into a fire or buried.
