It’s a very bad equilibrium that if you’re an attractive woman, you get way too much attention.

And unless you’re in the top 10% of attractive men for your age group, you get almost no attention at all from women. (Many men never get approached once in their entire life.)

Any way to resolve?

Mask fetishists in LA, the Bay Area, Chicago, Seattle and Portland will demand permanent mask mandates due to their piss their pants fear of getting the sniffles after getting infected post-booster.

They don’t realize how much most people won’t put up with this long term.

Somewhat likely? It’s become a liberal identity marker so it’ll become just the way it is in those cities, I’d say with a 60% probability. Of course they’ll do nothing about ventilation because just like anti-vax doofuses, they don’t actually care about mitigating anything or doing anything truly difficult.

In this case, whether masks work or not is irrelevant. “Working” is not why the above will happen. When tribes battle, both do moronic things. Yay polarization.

The PMC lib obsession with power differentials in relationships is a reflection of their deep and incurable sickness: they see other people only as instruments of use, and assume everyone else also treats other people the same way. They actually cannot imagine relationships based purely on love, affection, and shared interests because all they can envision for any relationship is a Hobbesian all-against-all competition for scarce resources.

That’s why when they write about their own relationships, they seem utterly deranged and almost psychopathic because they assume all social dynamics are defined only by power relations and on the basis of power that they should be regulated. That’s because for them, this is their relationships! They are projecting their own pathology to all the rest of us.

It’s a disturbed and disturbing worldview, and fundamentally anti-human. But it’s all they can see.
