I am not friendly and I don’t want to be friendly.
I want to conquer the fucking galaxy.

MaskCon
It's not correct to say that 6 months ago "we" didn't know masks were important. All of East Asia knew they were important, and there was lots of research showing that masks, even cloth ones, were effective at mitigating transmission of coronaviruses like SARS. https://t.co/Id4sQqhwZu

That narrative — and how very wrong the “experts” were — is now being actively erased. Soon, it’ll become a “conspiracy theory.”
I’ve seen it happen before with other topics and it’s happening now.
Pained Dream
Saw this headline on the magazine Aeon:
Ah, what? I do very much feel pain in dreams. Someone knifed me one time in a dream and it felt very much like I was getting stabbed. I woke up gasping from the pain.
(To be clear, I felt the pain in the dream and then its remnant when I awoke.)

Good thread. I think it’s mostly correct.
I entered a relationship with my current partner when I was 29 and she was 23. The day I turned 30, apparently, I became a total creep perv as she was 23 and a college student. Funny how that happens! One day, you’re fine, and the next day, you go total pervo! Without anything else really changing. It’s quite mysterious.
He doesn’t mention at all the attempted elimination of dating market competition by women 35+, which is a really huge part of this, but his contentions aren’t wrong.
What It Be
My position: I think anyone age 18 and over should date whoever the fuck they want to any time they want to.
Fin.
The New P
The new prudes are getting even more fanatical. I hope that means this movement is on its last gasps for now. Enough women resent it and are against being infantilized that they might be able to halt the Bitter Berthas who want to squelch dating market competition.
It’s more than about that, of course, but that’s a lot of it.
