Alone Time

Russell Brand, Rape, And โ€œNot All Men.โ€

Oh, Jesus Christ, this is stupid. I’ve read that moronic study the article references, the one that supposedly shows that 95.1% of men have used a “coercive strategy” to convince a woman to have sex. It has so many errors it could’ve been authored by Jason Arday.

My friends, some of those so-called coercive strategies the study cites include hanging out in a friend group, wanting to be alone where you can talk more easily, and hanging out somewhere private. In other words, getting introduced through friends, making her comfortable, and wanting to be alone with her. No, Iโ€™m literally not making that up. And in the paper itโ€™s even stupider, if you can imagine that. The “private place” item in the study actally reads โ€œsomewhere private and under your control,โ€ because apparently your apartment is a torture dungeon1.

None of that is coercion. It’s nowhere even near coercion! If it were every single woman I’ve ever slept with in my entire life would have been turbo-raping me. Which is fucking ridiculous. Anyone who can believe this casuistry is engaged in some weirdo political project, not attempting to help women or anyone else.

Again, I cannot stress enough how wanting to talk with someone alone is not coercive and is not tantamount to rape.

This sort of clown-ass mendacious perseveration by “progressives” is why no one takes them seriously. Everyone with a billionth of a brain knows that wanting to be alone with your paramour or the person you fancy is not rape. Everyone who is not a talentless horse-fucker understands that the best way to meet someone is to be introduced by friends.

This entire article, the study itself and anyone who gives any credence to any of it are all vile pieces of shit. I cannot express in words how despicably evil that study and those who cite it are.

  1. This study is really just an example of anti-male and anti-sexuality radical feminism.

Romance Disfluency

No one should have a pass to “go crazy.” This is what I mean by (some) women and romantic disappointment.

Anyway, my “go crazy” is throwing people out of helicopters over Somalia. And no one wants that1.

  1. I want that.

Breaking Changes

Modern women’s (mostly) quest to make romantic heartbreak illegal is absolutely insane to a level I had not previously contemplated.

Clucking

I don’t give a fuck about Jensen Huang’s affairs. I do care that he was probably committing treason by illegally selling restricted technology to China.

You can tell how mentally incompetent Gen Z is because they are moralizing over the stupid affairs and age gaps while ignoring the real issue. Fucking idiot dipshit-ass clowns.

Construct

Does anyone think the newly-elected Dems are going to do anything useful or constructive? I sure do not.

Mainly, they will do what the Republicans have done, just in a different guise: harm the US, themselves, and probably the rest of the world too. It’s only good they were not around when AI came to the fore as strangling that in the crib would have been very bad news for the country.

The Dems will flail around for a few years, then probably Ron DeSantis will be president due to their failures.

Terate

It’s a sad fact that even most “educated” people are only semi-literate.

And the rest are worse than that. By any reasonable standard, maybe 2% of the populace is actually literate.

Also, it really pisses me off to an extreme level that we need permission like the below to use our own machines.

Everyone who had or has anything to do with that is definitely being thrown out of a helicopter over Somalia.
