Gonna Need Some Gaza on That

Israel should’ve given three days to evacuate, then leveled Gaza. It’s what I would’ve done. I would’ve assisted settling the displaced Gazans in other Arab countries, though no one really wants them. Who would?

In the near term, Russia and China are the greatest risks.

In the medium term, though, nuclear war with an Islamicized Europe is a pretty significant risk. Assuming the current trends continue, an Islamic, extremely repressive Europe is likely in 40-60 years. They’ll have French (or Pakistani, or both) nukes by then.

And that’ll be very bad for the US.

Sales Call

Exactly.

The “It was just a rowdy tour group!” nonsense is so fucking funny to me. It’s like a Monty Python sketch except in real life. Listen, if you believe the January 6 insurrection, attempted coup and actual riot was just a tour group gone wild, I need your name and number because I could sell you anything.

Don’t Do What Weak Losers Do

To extend the thought below, were I single I’d absolutely without hesitation date anyone 22 or older. I’d consider someone exceptional younger than that, as long as she was of legal age. A match under 22 is far less likely, though.

And that’s what women’s intrasexual competition is all about: it’s mainly older and bitterer women attempting to prevent those “unauthorized” matches from occurring so they can get the advantage and attempt to corner men like me into dating them by making it “morally wrong” to be with anyone who isn’t them.

As I said, I am not single and am in a very happy relationship, but if I were single I’d not give a single goddamn fuck about what anyone thinks about who I date or why. Anyone who does is a weak loser.

Tall Tales and Other Fails

Also, I think I witness a lot more of women’s intrasexual competition lately. I’m hotter than I’ve ever been in my life, and contrary to feminist tall tales women in the 20-30 age range are very interested in me and other men similar to me.

Partially, it’s because I look younger than I am. But it’s also that many women in that age range truly do want someone older, successful, loaded, stable and attractive. And I check all those boxes now.

Just in the last few months I’ve had two women throw themselves at me, one even inadvisably sending a salacious picture in a work Slack message that I did not ask for and said nothing about after (not interested). As I’ve said before, tons more women in the 20-30 age range express interest and flirt with me than anyone else, by far. It’s not even close.

Rail System

And this isn’t even really much of an exaggeration. A whole lot of liberals really do believe shit like Natalia is poking fun at here.

Feminism is fucked and women’s intrasexual competition as well as mental health has gone completely off the rails.

Oregone

The woman is attractive despite the terrible tattoos1, but the rest is not great other than for a visit. That looks like the Oregon or Washington coast, where it’d be cold and rain 8-9 months out of the year. It’s miserable there.

And the food in that picture. What the fuck is that? Way undercooked frozen hash browns, also undercooked waffles and HFCS-based “syrup.” All looks just terrible and I’d refuse to eat it. Also, those shitty little country grocery stores have poor selection, are way overpriced, and often have expired crap littering the shelves.
