Glad we optimized our lives for low monthly cash burn while still living pretty luxuriously. And that was before all this shit started. Doing the smart thing before it’s needed is where it’s at. (And I am sure to many idiot leftists, that also counts as bullying.)

Even with eating out and all that, our required monthly outlay is only about $2,000, including the insanely high California property taxes.

Not bad. Not bad at all. We can earn that working at a convenience store if needed. Or I could return to daytrading again; pretty sure I can make $2k in a few hours most months.

Bullydom

To a lot of the left, “bullying” is telling them truths they don’t want to hear. I’ve been accused of bullying by leftist clowns because I’ve said things like:

  • You don’t have to be a fat useless slob. That you can change your life and it’s up to you to do so.
  • That not everyone is exactly identical.
  • That IQ exists, or at least measures something that exists in the context of our civilization.
  • That the Fat Acceptance movement is actively harmful.

You get this picture. Pathetic. If that’s bullying, then fuck yes I am a bully. Proud to be.

Power

And thank the heavens most women like this don’t realize how much power they have — at least in Western society. We’d all be totally cooked. But I think he’s right. Especially to go from a man to that sort of life of unrestricted possibility, most people would flame out. I wouldn’t now (as long as I retained all of my current self cognitively) because I’m older and wiser. I’d be ok. But I probably would have flubbed it if I’d jumped to that life at 20.

But damn, yeah, compared to a male of the same age, a top 1% or above woman can literally do anything she wants. And that, understandably, makes many men and quite a few women resentful.

For a man, to obtain the same social power you have to be in the top 0.0000001% or above. And be rich.

Mexi In Fact Can

I know this is just low-value ragebait slop, but I have certainly had great Mexican food. A co-worker’s (Mexican) wife at a previous in-office job would send in food with him for the team and it was a-fucking-mazing. Some of the best food I’ve ever had.

She was such a great cook. I met her in person a few times and I could not shut up about how good her cooking was. She beamed the whole time.
