Why, time to go full Sean Connery, I suppose.
Mind, you illustrate the real problem. As much as people try to shame simps, they're not the real issue, just a symptom - the core issue is society as a whole playing deference to women automatically and without thought, on both sides of the political spectrum(albeit for entirely different reasons).
I'm not dealing with an emotional child who's constantly playing shit-tests so I'll cater to her fantasies when society as a whole will defer to her judgement and statements over mine the moment she gets bratty and petulant.
I have trouble seeing any future events beyond near and/or full collapse that'll have society as a whole start deferring to men's judgement by default.
Blind negro worship has to be one of the worst things to come out of modern society.
Sean Connery was right.
KK probably hated the idea of taking story concepts from people more successful than her.
IE, everyone.
I almost want to say that it basically turned Mass Effect into a re-hash of the Xeelee cycle in Space Opera form, but I could be completely off on that.
I want to run an experiment of how she reacts to all those Men vs Women survival shows.
Especially the parts when the women come begging for supplies in a way that highlights extreme submissiveness and accentuates their attractiveness.
If nothing else, watching her spin all that cope would be entertaining.
It was only after starting to work out on a weekly basis that I stopped getting sick in any severe capacity.
While I do cheat a little when it comes to sinus infections(saline spray is an utter godsend), for most infections I can clearly feel my body just 'fighting it off'. A little bit more tired, a little bit weaker, but not serious or noticeable to others.
I only wish I knew that, yes, you really could just 'sweat the sickness out' alot earlier. Would have saved me alot of time.
A sedentary lifestyle has so many knock-on effects it's positively obscene.
Convince me women don't want to be treated as objects, then.
Journalists know nothing about what they're reporting about.
We've seen this song and dance before.
Rockets blow up. It's nothing new. 'In the Shadow of the Moon', a really, really good documentary on the race to the moon, is basically a bunch of astronauts talking about shit while the docu switches over to videos from the time period.
Early on, one of the astronaut's remarked that getting into a rocket to go to space at the time was 'a really great way to have a really short ride' before cutting immediately to a series of US rockets blowing up on the launch pad.
As for Elon... well, I think he's great. He lightly shitposts on twitter like it's 4chan and proceeds to drive people mad. He strips off the illusion of 'noblesse oblige' that leftists really, really want to buy into and shows that, yes, even accomplished and successful people have feet made of clay. People that know nothing about leadership screech and caterwaul about how Elon doesn't really do anything for the businesses he leads.
I still think EVs are silly, though.
How good of you to let us know ahead of time, Commissar. Why, I'd absolutely loathe doing anything that would offend the Politburo...
TDLR, The Fed thinks Inflation = Good, Deflation = Bad.
...wether this is actually the case or no is up for debate, but one of the reasons that the Fed is so hot to trot to control the interest rate come hell or high water is because they're utterly terrified of a recession.
Gotta prop up that eternal growth rate, yo.
Ah, the Invisibles. A comic book that only could have been written by a Brit.
Good stuff.
People should stop caring about a group of mentally ill people that make up less than 1% of the population.
No, trans-grifters abusing normies and bureaucracies don't count.
The only 'care' given to them should be how long they need to stay in the insane asylum.
This is probably more of a cheat code than you realize; Cigar shops are one of the few 'male only' spaces that you'll find, nowadays.
It's also a 'classy' enough hobby without being weird(as opposed to, say, guns), and would probably give you a good natural 'in' with your local high muckity-mucks.
Food for thought.
...not that I'm gonna pick up cigar smoking as a hobby, but it makes you think.
So, the only thing women are good for is straight sex appeal, in other words.
Whatever you say, Kotaku.
rampant harrassment
Women being treated like men, you mean.
Which is what it boils down to. Women can handle everything - except being treated like men. /s
I really wish society stopped playing deference to children masquerading as adults. I really do.
I think the women in charge of writing this are writing the women as if they were the 1% apex men, or falling into the trap of the Golden Rule, IE 'Well, I'm attracted to this, so men must be too.'
It's when you get into the porn strictly for women that the masks come off, and they have their ingenue protagonist fall under the attentions of a borderline rapey dom/bad boy.
Because, surprise surprise, men aren't complete fucking idiots and have no problem responding to incentives, or reading the room.
It's almost like people are shocked when men react in an optimal fashion to minimize risk and maximize reward.
The idea that 'Self-improvement is right wing/fascism' that got a fair bit of noise really says something about the left nowadays.
That the left thinks this says something good also says alot of about the left.
Looks like every other modern, sterile website designed by a bunch of liberal marketers who don't know anything about their target audience or who they're actually making the website for.
Depressing, but not surprising.
(Sorry, kids, but you're not going to get an Asian Geek Waifu playing Warhammer 40k. Yeah, that part had me laughing.)
When you pause and realize that these professionals are basically treating said customers as 'paypigs', their actions make perfect sense.
Playing the Devil's advocate here, America did have alot of investment in China from WW1 and onward, in terms of them being an ally(despite China's history at this point in time being, shall we say, colorful.)
To put another way, America is the reason China didn't get turned into another Africa in terms of being split up by European powers and colonized. (See: Boxer Rebellion.)
Also keep in mind that Japan at this point was also a pretty heavy hitter on the international scene, and just a few decades previous had tangled with Russia, of all places, and fucking won.
So, yeah. America would be invested in the area, and China in specific, because sunk cost fallacy is a major, major bitch.
I find it more interesting that the majority of Americans were full-on isolationists that had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into WW2. Which, y'know, given the time frame, makes utterly perfect sense.
Pity we can't go back to those times. That would be nice.
God, I fucking hate Amtrak.
I admit, I'm a nerd. I think trains are cool. The idea of a cross-country train-trip is really cool.
Then I looked up the prices.
Yeah, it would be cheaper for me to fly to Europe than it would be for me to pay for a multi-day Train trip. There are travel youtube channels that show what you get when you do that. And while neat... definitely not worth the fucking price.
...and then I look over at Japan, where you can pay the cost of a cheap motel room and get something that's so much better in terms of space, amenities, luxury...
Look, I get it. The rail system in America is for moving goods, not people. Two completely different things, with radically different requirements. America has alot more distance to cover, Japan has the luxury of a single-ethinicity in terms of diversity, so on and so forth.
But I can't deny, that I'm envious as fuck.
'I against my Brother, my Brother and I against my Cousin, my Brother, Cousin, and I against my Uncle, my Family against the world.'
That's how they think. That's how every ethnic/racial tribe thinks. Barring the one glaring exception.
Most people don't get this because they never see it in action, and by the point that they do, it's far, far too late to change things.
To quote an old blog, 'Who's bitch be dis?'
Anonymity is baked into the cake of America. The authors of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers - y'know, the discussions that influenced alot of early thinkers and law-makers in America - are still debated about to this day because they were published anonymously.
Trying to force such a thing is positively... un-American.
If I could somehow combine Conan Exiles with Valheim, I would have the perfect survival crafting sandbox.
