The Constant

How common is it to get rejected by women as a man?

The most common experience on the planet for men is that one. Including this fun one that happens a lot to most men:

I’ve never understood that but I guess it’s about power? It used to happen to me fairly often, be minding my own business, doing nothing at all. Then, “I have a boyfriend.” Ok, great, who cares. Then I started responding with, “Good for you.” Then after that didn’t seem like enough, I started responding with, “So do I!” to really piss ’em off.

Makes no damn sense how people act sometimes.

SARSARS

This is from a book released in 2008; Infected by Scott Sigler. And all I have to say is LOLOLOLOLOLOL:

SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, had been tagged by the media several times over as the next โ€œnightmare plague.โ€ While the disease was potentially fatal, and had racked up a significant body count in China, it wasnโ€™t a major threat to a country with an efficient medical system like the United States. SARS was, however, a contagious, airborne disease, which explained the Racal suits and the quarantine. The bottom line on SARS? Enough of a danger to make people pay attention, but it really threatened only the elderly and Third World countriesโ€”and in America, that was never enough to create a panic.

Own Good

I know I write about this all the time, but I cannot help it. It’s simply mystifying to me how many people genuinely and sincerely believe it when companies and governments tell them that they must be harmed supposedly for their own good and for “security.”

Why do y’all buy into this bullshit? Never mind, don’t answer that. Here’s what you need to do instead for your own good and for security: send me all your money. All of it. It’ll be good for you. Very good. I promise.

Listen Here

Your Phone Is Not Listening to You.

Bullshit. Your phone is definitely listening to you, absolutely 100% no doubt about it. It’s obvious if you mention something you’ve never searched for, been interested in, etc., and talk about it near your phone and then see ads for it shortly after.

This happened to a friend of mine just recently. She talked about barbecue grills with a friend in “hearing” range of her phone, something she is totally uninterested in and will never buy (her friend was also not searching for them and had no real interest in them). Thirty seconds later, ads for barbecue grills showed up in her Google searches and on Instagram.

That is not a coincidence.
