Where I grew up, the biggest thugs got with the most women by far. It wasn’t even close. Hell, I got with more women after I broke bad.
It’s just a fact of life.
How to stop being scared of men.
This is a great example of a woman interacting with men who are almost all going to be weirdos, creeps and clowns and then concluding all men are that way.
To be fair, at least she’s trying to change her ideas and perceptions. Most never even attempt that. She deserves some real credit for that.
As one commenter said, “‘All I do is hang out in a garbage dump. Why is the world just full of so much garbage?'” And the thing is, this is what most women do.
Men need to (and are trained to) control their aggression. Likewise, women should be taught to control their excessive neuroticism. But this is considered out of bounds to express, though it should not be. Women need this acculturation just as much as men need to be educated on how rein in aggressive tendencies.
Contrary to feminist propaganda, women do in fact lodge quite a lot of false accusations when it’s advantageous for them to do so. Because, duh, they are are human and that is their leverage. People exercise power where they think they possess it.
The best way to avoid those is to not be anywhere or do anything where that could occur. Which means good men will act in accordance with that, and women will only have experiences with the bad ones who do not care about social niceties. Pretty predictable end result of consensual sex between grown-ass adults being de facto criminalized by “feminists” IMO — and of all men being branded as rapist predators for being attracted to attractive women.
No one has ever made a light truck like that because they aren’t very useful for general tasks and it’s pretty dangerous to have obects extend beyond the front of the cab. Just use a trailer instead.
There are some half-cab larger trucks like this, but they are very rare. Because, again, just use a trailer.
Well, yeah, the Strait of Hormuz has extremely strong currents which makes it difficult to effectively mine. This is not some failure of Iran. This is just a natural feature of a strait like that. No one knows where those mines are now and probably never will.
Hmm, I was absolutely assured women never, ever do anything like this.
The reality, of course, is that women do this sort of thing quite commonly. It’s just that women do not usually get into any sort of trouble for it. And men do.
If you let a buncha feral third worlders into your country, you’re gonna have a bad time.
This is not really (heh) correct. At the least, it’s lazy thinking. But truly, it’s just wrong enough to seem pat and true to Mastodon types but is even more misleading than the supposedly-confusing ideas it’s attempting to illuminate.
The problem is that complex numbers are not secretly just real numbers. Though they are a larger algebraic system that can be faithfully represented using real pairs or special real matrices, the posts above confuse the fact that you can represent complex numbers using real-number machinery with the incorrect idea that complex numbers are truly nothing but ordinary real numbers. A metaphor that perhaps this doof could understand: GPS coordinates are not the city. You can encode every place in a city with two numbers, but the city is not secretly just a system of coordinates. The coordinates are a way of keeping track of something else. And the same is the case here. A real pair or matrix model is a way of (only) encoding complex numbers, not a proof that complex numbers were ordinary reals all along. I mean, duh. If you’re not a dipshit.
So that part of the posts is 100% wrong. A representation is not the same thing as an identification. Encoding complex numbers as pairs or matrices does not somehow convert them back into the real numbers. All it shows is that the complex numbers can be realized as a structured extension built from real components.
And I know this at least partially because standard quantum mechanics requires complex numbers. There are indeed physics-equivalent reformulations using only real quantities, but these work only if you add extra structure that is basically smuggling in complex numbers by the back door (that don’t correspond to the world as it apparently is), so just reals is not enough.
I hate this typical Mastodon intellectual clownishness. So fucking worthless.
Anyone read this 49 day SSL expiration thing and think they would rather just retire?
Yes. It’s such a fucking clownish, useless idea that is going to make my life worse and many other people’s too for absolutely zero real-world security benefit.
The shit-for-brains set of doofuses who thought of this should be run out of the industry and be require to work at a Chili’s in Duluth until they expire from despair.
What a huge waste of time and resources that is going to lead to more security issues, not fewer.
Framing what happened as an American defeat — as the press seems to be doing — is fucking insane.
All major objectives were achieved. Iran’s military capabilities were obliterated. Its nuclear program was set back by around a decade. By the by, the US does not give a crap about the Strait of Hormuz. That’s 1970s thinking. Oil just isn’t as important as it used to be, for a variety of reasons.
What happened in Iran was not great, but the actual objectives were met. That’s all you can ask for.
It’s what I’ve been calling the “scam economy” for years. It’s about all that’s left anymore.

Indeed. The idiot leftist trick of torturing words until they scream does not alter reality in the least. That Pakistani rape gang is still after your daughter even if you call me an “Islamophobe.” The world is not changed by your attempt at obfuscation of the truth — but it is made worse.
