That is some top-notch shoegaze.

This is where men get accused of things like “YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111” when it’s the feeling of being less important than some random clown that is really what’s going on. This is almost always the case, though it plays out in different ways.
The reality is that a lot of women use sex as a weapon. And men react to that weaponization. As anyone should.
Women are often more obsessed with sex than men, just in different (and typically more harmful) ways.
Taught
I’ve not learned a single thing from working closely with anyone in an office and have not had any “productive” conversations ever that lead to anything at all.
Does that really happen? I have my doubts. Maybe it does to some people but just does not match my experience at all. Everything I’ve learned in my career I’ve had to teach myself. My partner is the same way; she’s completely self-taught.
Maybe that’s peculiar to our fields.
Free Work
Job I was rejected from used my take-home assignment for their business.
This seems to be getting more common. A lot of jobs seem to be posted just to solicit free work with no intention of hiring anyone. I’ve run across this and so have most others in my field.
If I ever get another one, I will come up with plausible bullshit I hope they use in production. As it will then bring production down. And that’ll be exactly what they deserve.
Firefox tracks you with โprivacy preservingโ feature. LOL.
Death of the Department Store.
The 1963 Ford Cardinalโtoo radical for America at the time.
Presidential polls are no more reliable than they were a century ago. So why do they consume our political lives? Hmm, the “experts” assured us in 2016 that all the polls were 100% accurate.
Toll
Because they almost never experience it (especially if they are attractive), I think women hugely underestimate the psychological toll that constant, unrelenting and often preemptive rejection takes on the average man. A lot of men suspect most of their lives being disdained and thought of as a “creep” by many women despite doing absolutely nothing to warrant this.
Most men would rather be punched than cruelly rejected and laughed at by a woman. I know that’s certainly true of me. The violence is much easier to handle and more comprehensible. It just seems fairer and more palatable.
Chasedown
One of the ways which social media and dating apps have destroyed women’s mental health is by leading mediocre women to assume they deserve and can get a top 1% man. Sure, it does happen sometimes, where a 5 woman ends up with a 10 man. But it’s rare. That 80%+ of women chase 1% of men is just devastating for them and of course hurts men too. It also harms society in general by greatly increasing unhappiness.
And note that I am not an incel. I am partnered and prior to that I’d been with more women than nearly all men. Not bragging; that’s just what happens when you go on a lot of dates. For a few years, I’d go out with anyone who said yes or anyone who asked me, just to see what happened. And, not surprisingly, a lot of those women and I ended up having sex.
So, not an incel. Just can see with my damn eyes.
Acoust
I listened to part or all of 315 new (to me) songs tonight/this morning.
About average for a day I guess.

If Bill Gates hadn’t sold off much of his Microsoft stock to fund his philanthropic foundation, he’d be worth $600 billion now.
Damn.

Eurnope
Dang, Europe got more problems than a mackerel that showed up at the shark convention by accident. Demographic-related, immigration-related, stagnation-related, war-related. They are fucked.
It makes America’s prospects look rosy by comparison.
