Libs: cancel culture isn’t real, except when we cancel your ass, which you fucking deserve!

You can do a lot with a little space, including the best of urbanism & design.
Santa Barbara's Paseo Bonito comprises 6 homes on less than 1/3 of an acre. It has excellent scale, greenery, solid materials, terminating sitelines, rear loaded garages, shared communal space &more! pic.twitter.com/Bq7uxAChwB

What libs claim is “impossible” is usually easily possible.
Ack
Goddamn, academics write a lot. I mean, I knew that. But even I can’t read that much.
Pariah
This is excellent, and I don’t think most women realize this at all (click to make larger):
I wanted to highlight this part:
I can’t tell you how tiresome and terrible it is that everyone treats you like a predator pretty much all the time if you’re male. If this were racial discrimination it would not be tolerated or permitted. But against men? Sure, it’s all good. And I understand the reasons why, even. But that does not make it feel any better. Know how draining it is to realize that 99% of women only perceive you as an attacker, not as a friend, a comrade, or just someone to have a laugh with?
Yes, yes, women have it worse in some ways but at least they aren’t treated 24/7 as someone always on the verge of assaulting or harming anyone in the vicinity. Because men are treated that way and it’s psychologically very costly. And to women who say men “deserve it” because some men are in fact creepy and terrible: that logic doesn’t make any damn sense.
I know men aren’t allowed to complain about this but I’m going to anyway, because it’s dehumanizing and a terrible way to be treated. And it’s all the time.
No Wo
To put the below another way, you have to be in the top 0.01% of men to find dates as easily as the average woman.
And almost no woman knows this!
Daters
i.e. women will say dating is hard for them, but they're measuring the quality. Quantity isn't an issue.
Men can't even assess quality because quantity is such a problem for many of them.

This too! It’s 100x-1000x harder for the average guy to find dates than it is the average woman. No exaggeration at all.
Cons
a discovery I had recently, that was baffling at first, but actually explains a lot:
most of the women my age that I know sincerely believe that it's as hard, and usually harder, for them to get dates, than it is for men to get dates.
this perception really surprised me!

Ha. I know! I have run into this too. It’s BS of course.
I think some of this comes from that most women only consider the top 10% of men for dates, whereas most men will consider 80% of women. So women believe they lack for potential dates as they automatically discard 9 out of 10 guys without even considering them.
Swole Size
About six or eight months ago I bought some custom-fitted shirts that were quite expensive. Now they no longer fit and look like I’m wearing kids’ clothes. I purchased them with the idea that it was unlikely at my age that my muscles would get any larger. They looked great when I bought them but now they’re not really wearable at all.
Not sure I should buy more because what if I’m wrong again? When you buy custom-fitted clothes it doesn’t take much change for them to not look good.
I’m not planning on cutting back on working out so I guess I’ll wait.
Kid Me
The key to being a member of the cultural elite today is to like all genres of music, movies, and televisionโฆ but only the โhighly consecratedโ entries of each genre. So high status music taste is liking Tupac & Beyonce & Johnny Cash & Pink Floyd, but not Limp Bizkit or Flo Rida https://t.co/6k1JGADFPW

But I like Tupac and Flo Rida. I listen to Kid Rock for fuck’s sake. I don’t give a crap about what I should like or what would make me look cool. I don’t have guilty pleasures.
Just like everywhere else, I do what the fuck I wanna do.
All The Power
Thinking a lot today about how for two years Barack Obama had 59 senate seats and a 78 seat house majority. He couldโve done anything. He couldโve literally changed the world. Heโs sharing his favorite Spotify lists now while his former staff try to stop people forming unions.

But the Dem status quo worshippers tell me Obama had NO POWER. He couldn’t do a thing for, uh, reasons. And I think they really believe that utter BS.
Saturn
So-called "driving experts" are saying that crashing my car into a tree was a disastrous error and that I should have been looking where I was going. What they don't seem to realize is that this was a *feint* designed to achieve my broader strategic aims: 🧵(1/47) pic.twitter.com/ypK52iLWif

Great satire of the Ian Welshian “we meant to lose 20% of our tanks and personnel and achieve none of our operational objectives” bullshit. How did Welsh get so clownish?
