Dry Ice

Chill Annoying

I don’t agree with the methods ICE is using, but in reality all the illegal immigrants should’ve been rounded up and sent home long ago. The problem itself should’ve never been allowed to get as bad as it did.

After all, I’d never presume to just show up in a country with no right to be there and no legal status and expect to stay there. Why should that the default expectation for the US but no other nation? Most countries in the world (unless you are an Islamic rapist) will toss you right back out on your ass. As they should.

Chill Evil

I don’t think women realize how icily cold most women are to men, and how large a toll that takes over time psychologically. Yes, sure, some 1 small percentage of men are a danger to women, but the great mass of women are unforgivingly and unendingly cold to men to an extent and degree2 that is hard to conceive of if you’ve not experienced it.

Yes, sure, an individual woman knows she is cold to men to “not lead them on,” and uses that potential threat to justify it to herself — but literally every woman the average man experiences seems like an ice queen from fortress Mega-Bitch. Imagine if you will that every woman you come across treats you like a piece of human garbage, which is what most men experience. What would your opinion then be of that gender?

Women want men to treat them perfectly when they decide to drop the undesirable-dude armor, when most men experience most women as just horrible people nearly 24/7. Not realistic.

  1. Smaller percentage than women believe.
  2. Pun intended.

Undermine

Chill Annoying, Evil

Dating now seems from a distance so abysmally terrible. Glad I’m not participating in that mess.

I remember a time when men and women actually did not despise each other and did not attempt to harm and undermine one another constantly. That time was called the 1990s. Sure, it was a thing sometimes then. But now it’s the default mode and expectation.

In addition to the intrinsic badness of this, immigration at a high level also has predictable negative effects on the white population whereby they become more negatively ethnocentric, populist, etc.

Open

NYC and other places used to have tons more open 24/7 or very late before the pandemic, even more in the 1980s and 1990s, and absolutely boatlods of stuff open (particularly in NYC) 24/7 from the 1930s to the 1970s.

Not sure what caused the continual decline of this, but was also true for other large cities to a lesser extent. And I wish it’d all come back; I’d strongly prefer most things to be open most of the time.
