[Self-improvement] is [masturbation]... [Now] self-destruction... ❋ Dip (2004)
1. "I've gained some weight over the past couple months. I think I'm going to start hitting the gym and getting back in church to try and get out of this [rut]. So hopefully, this works instead of one of those bullshit self-improvement classes. "
2. Emily told [Dustin] she was breaking up with him because she needed to improve herself. In actuality, Emily improved herself by [dumping] Dustin in a clever self-improvement [ruse] he would accept without knowing her true intentions. ❋ MagicalPiano (2010)
Hym "I'm not willing to do the self improvement thing for free anymore. I'm going to need some [goth booty]. Or some kind of booty equivalent. Like, some [asmrtist] booty or maybe some hispanic cleaning lady booty. But I don't know. I just... How about this: For every 1 booty of this 👆 caliber I receive, I will do [1000 push ups] before collecting any subsequent booty. How does that sound? .... On second thought, 500 push ups. I'm thinking like 100 a day and I'm just not going to wait 10 days for subsequent booty. So, 500 per booty and the genius money factory will get in shape." ❋ Hym Iam (2023)
[Self improvement], such as [working out] is as useless as masturbation. All it does is make you [feel good] about yourself, but in reality accomplishes nothing. ❋ Tyler Nedrud (2007)
Hym “What do I have to offer? Before I answer I want to preface what I’m about to say and then I’m going to levy some follow up questions. Even if I had [all of the money] in the world you wouldn’t get a cent of it. You’re not particularly attractive and you don’t select based on [self improvement]. What exactly are your standards, objectively? And I don’t mean the standards you purport to have. I mean who have you ACTUALLY fucked that you think is better than me? And what about YOU makes you think YOU’RE interesting? There are literally movies and songs and anime about me. I’m interesting by default. The very content of my being has inspired more things than you’ll ever create. Genetically, I mean, I would say... genius intellect, perfect eye sight (neither of which you have), [bone structure] of a Brazilian male model. Socially? A [rapier wit], profound dialogical prowess, and the ability to navigate exceedingly complex social situations... It’s not that I expect you to ‘lower your standards’ it’s that I don’t believe that you have standards outside of a fat cock and money. What I believe is that you are a whore with a fat cock discount.” ❋ Hym Iam (2022)
