Barack Up

I do not give a crap about what Barack Obama thinks about anything.

He was and still remains (narrowly) the worst president in my lifetime, and one who doomed the country for a generation. Just a terrible person all around and an even worse leader.

Compete

(2) Dr Daisy Dixon on X: "my theory is that a reason these men donโ€™t like tattoos on women is because itโ€™s an outward sign of creative agency and self-ownership - it signals that the womanโ€™s body is hers and no one elseโ€™s - it aesthetically undermines and rejects menโ€™s felt entitlement to our bodies ๐Ÿ–ค" / X

Too general, but basically correct. Not all women are dishonest. But many are when it comes to intrasexual competition! They will do whatever it takes to hobble other perceived competitors.

And yes, a lot of women particularly hate Sydney Sweeney because they realize that she’s the woman they could’ve been if they hadn’t ballooned up to 400 pounds and gotten loads of horrid tattoos. Because though Sydney is attractive — as I’ve pointed out before — she’s “normal” attractive. She cleans up really well but does not have a supermodel build, face or physique (unlike someone like Margot Robbie, who does).

Thus, Sydney is particularly hated because many women who care deeply about such things realize they could have been her, but blew it. Thus, she is more deeply despised than someone like Sasha Luss because no amount of eating right and dressing well will get anyone to that (as she is a freak of nature in a positive way).

Sydney is despised because she was what they could’ve been, but failed. And that stings far more than seeing something that was never possible.

Cannot Handle

Women just get enraged about men not liking tattoos and being rejected therefore because they are used to having 100% choice in the dating market.

When someone rejects them from the outset for a choice they’ve made that’s now unchangeable, that’s fuckin’ war. That’s what I mean about women “incelling themselves.” For a brief moment, they have to deal with dating as a man does.

And they cannot fucking handle it. I love it, though. Makes me happy.

Well Ink

If you want to truly own your body, get as fit as I am.

But that takes a lot of work, time, and not eating like a clown. It’s certainly easier to get done up like graffiti on a train car instead.

It feels so much better, though, to be able to pick up a two-hundred-pound stone off the ground and move it without much effort than it does to look like an inkwell took a shit on you.
