What the fuck is even happening in the UK. Though I am sure that will be thing in the US soon enough. Schoolkids aren’t allowed at McDonald’s of all places after 5PM?
And we wonder why kids are trapped in front of their smartphones. I was going to places by myself when I was 10. Hell world.
In the era of the late sixties and early seventies, it was made socially unacceptable to have any expectations of women at all.
No roles, no duties, no responsibilities, no societal influence, only an infinity of choice.
No feedback.
If and when men express no expectations… https://t.co/VPIG8CgRcU

It’s a bit cruel, but I think his evaluation of her is pretty dead on. She seems incredibly self-centered. There’s no thought to what she can contribute to a relationship. She looks fine but is not beautiful enough to coast on that alone, so she actually has to provide something. And there’s no sign of that. Based on that short clip, I wouldn’t have stepped forward either.
It takes real bravery to get up in front of people and do that on video, so kudos for that at least.
Where I lived, it was more of a rolling, ever-changing lockdown condition.
The worst of it lasted 4-6 months, but even beyond that, gyms weren't allowed to operate normally or sometimes weren't allowed to be open at all. Certain services were shut down, some stores couldn't… https://t.co/jG6MdRBwr6 pic.twitter.com/M1loRedaTX

This disconnect is because leftists, liberals, Covidians and other associated clowns define lockdown as, “Armed thugs weld your door shut and arrest you if you leave the house.”
Everyone else has a better and more correct definition. Tell the kids who couldn’t go to school for two years and missed all their important life events that there was no lockdown. I know a woman whose daughter is still seething and enraged about that years later. Think she’ll vote for anyone who did that to her now that she’s an adult?
Lockdown wasn’t even that bad for us. We had a very pleasant place to live with a great view. And we actually like each other. But even with that, we didn’t eat out for 18 months. Many activities were restricted. Life was not normal at all. Just because there was no degrowther dream hard lockdown doesn’t mean a damn thing. It was still a bad time for everyone.
When you realize how little actual thinking or brainpower it takes to be significantly smarter than average, it doesn’t leave you feeling so intelligent. The average is terrible. It’s kind of like to a dog, any person seems like a genius.
But there’s a lot more distance between me and someone like Norbert Wiener than the average dog is from the average person. I only seem intelligent because someone at the average is not quite smart enough to discern the difference between Norbert and me.
But unfortunately I have just enough brains to measure that difference, and it’s vast. Far, far more than between me and Joe or Jane Average.
