Look Elsewhere
What’s a stereotype about men that feels especially inaccurate to you?
That the only thing we care about is sex.
Are women basing this off how men behaved when they were 16? Or what’s going on here? I think at least some of it comes from the men that women most often encounter tend to be this way because they are the most pushy and the most bold.
But for 99%+ of men, it’s just completely false.
My advice to women: if you want to find men who care about more than just sex, look around a bit more. The jerk might seem crazy hot to you, or at least be right in front of your face, but there are more men out there than that. And most of them want more than a quick lay.
Trust me on this. Also, get a male friend. He can identify the mega-abusive jerks in a fraction of a second (nearly all men can). And most women cannot, for whatever reason.
Dox
It has indeed been around for a long time. I think I first saw it in the early 2000s on the SomethingAwful forums. It had gone fully mainstream at least by 2010.
Transterpolate
I did not realize that when other people learn other languages they are translating the words from the foreign language into their native language forever in their heads. At least, most everyone. When I learn to read a language well enough (and it doesn’t take me long), no more translation. “Jaune” in French for me doesn’t have to be converted to “yellow” anymore for me, for instance. It works just the same as my English “yellow.” It’s directly mapped.
And I guess that has to do with how my mind works in that area, but I legitimately did not know that most people were doing the two-step translation. Explains a lot, though.
Finance
Even most economists make that mistake, especially since the economy became so financialized. Money is a tool to get the result. The result is what we can create, experience, and use.
Lala Lala – Even Mountains Erode
Just doing my usual music hunt and found this. It’s excellent, but you know what it reminds me of? This relic from the 1990s.
Read Me In
Off the charts reading comprehension and ability to quickly understand nearly anything. I didn’t truly realize until I was well into adulthood how much of a superpower this is as well as what advantages it gives me.
And for a long time I thought other people just weren’t trying, but it wasn’t that. They just didn’t have the capability. That I could read something in two minutes and understand it all and the entire superstructure of thought behind (and ahead) of it and contextualize it effortlessly while they could spend two hours reading the same work or document and get nearly nothing out of it was a real eye-opener.
This talent certainly made my life vastly better than it otherwise would’ve been. It means I can do “impossible” stuff like day-trade and solve problems in minutes that take other people hours, days, weeks or years.
Copilot Crash-out
Oh god no. This means I would not even be able to use Windows for work, which I mainly do now only to experience what the users do.
But this abomination would end that right quick.
