Comic artist is “Kipling”/“sergeantkipling”
Extremely impressive beard for a eunuch bottom ones are, ngl.
They can lie down on the floor after consultation to speed up food delivery too. A lot of servers run on eunuchs.

what sort of state of mind were you in to get this
It’s an old joke (1993):
Knew I was ripping it off from somewhere but couldn’t remember the source. Shame that guy turned out to be what he was.
Right? I followed the comic religiously for a good 20 years, but damn did things go crazy with him by 2020. Good riddance.
Scott Adams really helped me during my high school and uni years. He was one of those “you can will yourself to do whatever you want” types, who teeter dangerously towards the “bootstrap yourself” crowd, and I guess goes hand-in-hand with the toxic conservative mentality that you’re better than others.
Still, anyone that can will themselves out of a mental condition is worth listening to, and his mental exercises genuinely did shape me on to a path to success. As a kid battling with mild (back then undiagnosed) ADHD, he gave me structure and willful thinking.
I am forever grateful to him, despite how he spiraled towards the end.
You don’t will yourself out of anything, willpower is a lie.
You strategize your way out of anything, like pilloting a mech.
You promise yourself rewards, you make failsafes for the case where you might fail
Yes, it’s a system for keeping your strategies in action
It’s a shame that he ended up being such a remarkable douchebag.
All he had to do was shut up to preserve his legacy.
What kind of mental exercises?
I read somewhere that he had some kind of hysterical speech impediment and that he trained himself out of it by rhyming or singing until he could speak normally.
There’s also his method where he writes down his goals 15 times a day until you reach that goal. It sound silly, but it worked really well to keep me focused. I took it kinda to the extreme, and used it as a springboard to maintain other commitments to achieve my goals too: jog 3x a week, not eat chocolate, no coffee, no masturbating, no TV, and no music. I would also write out my goals taking only 15 breaths and not blinking for extra brownie points.
I did this in the 5 months before my exams, all the way until I would get my grades. High school and Uni – almost a decade where I would just go on full discipline mode for several months.
I don’t do it much now, except when I had a health scare last year and what got me back into shape? You bet it was that method.
Masterful.
boo
Oh you

Oh, that’s good. I owe you a beer (or tea).
Can eunuchs grow facial hair?
If they scheme hard enough, or are from a parallel universe, yes
Jokes aside, depends on which part was removed. If balls, then they will have a harder time with facial hair due to reduced testosterone.
It also depends on when they were removed. If the eunuch developed facial hair before castration it will keep right on growing. Testosterone basically flips a switch in a follicle, and removing testosterone sadly does not un-flip the switch.
Why do my mother and grandma have to shave then?
My dreams are slightly crushed hearing this.
On bright news I love the name “Althea” btw.Laser hair removal and/or electrolysis can kill the hair follicles, so it is possible. Just not as a result of testosterone blocking/removal.
and thank you :3
Why do you tell that to someone who apparently hunts Althea?! /s
I dont hunt Altheas! It’s just a last name!!
That’s what I would say as well to make Altheas feel safe. And then BOOM.
Removing the testes but leaving the shaft was the preferred (non-punishment) method of making a eunuch for most of Chinese history - much less likely to just bleed out and die.
Performed on eunuchs such as Zheng He, noted Chinese Muslim naval leader.
This guy with a good voice on Youtube, Burial Goods, did a series of reading these that I think elevates them pretty well: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLVWQ2IHbFGc
That last one is prophetic

Edit: when I saw this one, first thing I could think of was back to this post, like gotdamn
“And what do you think, under-the-table eunuch?”
“Perhaps something with less Zinc.”If you enjoyed this joke, you should listen to a couple eps of the Fall of Civilizations podcast. Ep 10 is about China’s Han Dynasty. So good.
Fall of Civilization
I checked them out thinking it would be an interesting half an hour… Han dynasty: almost 3 hours.
I will still check it out, but that’s kinda long. :D
