Unpopular opinions about relationships and sex:

1) Women and men and everyone above the age of majority should have more age gap relationships.

2) Licking pierced nipples tastes like licking sweaty keys.

3) Women hold men to standards they don’t hold themselves to, and that seems to be getting worse.

4) A great milkshake is far better than sex with most people.

5) And most people are not motivated by morality or propriety, but fear. This is true of both relationships and sex.

I’ve watched quite a lot of combat footage from Ukraine. I’ve seen many people die horribly. War is neither noble nor just, though it is sometimes justified; it is, though, a great bloodsoaked machine that consumes all in its path indiscriminately.

Every day now that something minor goes wrong in my life or I come up against some trifling inconvenience, I think to myself, At least I am not being hunted by drones on some Ukrainian battlefield. And my day seems vastly better after that. I have a great life in comparison and in absolute terms. I will not die pointlessly and brutally, forgotten, in some farmer’s field south of Kharkiv.

That is something to be grateful for.
