Self-plagiarism is the stupidest fucking thing of many, many idiotic concepts academics have come up with.
Jut an incoherent and ridiculous idea.
Defeated
These days, a man must be in the top 0.001% or above roughly to get the attention the average or even a not-that-attractive woman receives.
This asymmetry has made women mentally unwell and made men bitter and angry (deservedly so IMO). Not sure what can be done about any of it, but it’s a bad situation that in this case harms men more than women — because you get insane, entitled women out of it and defeated men.

What kind of world is it when a freakin’ chicken salad sandwich is $20?
It’s California so it’s gonna be expensive, but damn. I can make that at home for what, $2 total? That’s a 10x markup.

I don’t like helping people and I don’t like asking for help.

Never Be Wannbe
The “conversation” around Alysa Liu after the Winter Olympics was so odd and a great example of what occurs when you allow women’s neuroticism and instrasexual competition to go off the rails with no checks.
Average Man: Wow, she’s awesome and seems like a great person. She’s cute, funny, happy and seems like she might be fun to be around.
Screeching “Feminist:” WHY ARE YOU SEXUALIZING HER? Why are you obsessed with sex? It’s all you ever think about!
Average Man: Who said anything about sex? I just think she seems like a neat person, one you could really talk to.
Screeching “Feminist:” It’s sex all the time with you men! All you ever talk about!
Average Man: Someone is obsessed with sex here, but it’s definitely not me.
Of course, deep down, a lot of those American “feminists” know they are terrible people and that no one wants to be around them; their romantic prospects are dim because they are mentally ill, won’t get help with managing it, and take their self-inflicted maladies out on the world. And the remarkable thing is that (other than being delightfully amazing at figure skating) Alysa just seems like the average American girl from 30-40 years ago before 80% of women went absolutely fucking nuts.
They loathe her because she’s everything they will never be.

Being ideologically against AC is one of the stupidest things I know of.
