Every major industry that has been developed anywhere ever has been government-subsidized all the way back to ancient times. It’s funny when idiots are like, “Buh-buh-buh, Tesla gets government subsidies! That makes it faaaaaake!” Or on the right, “Solar power got subsidized! That means it can’t worrrrrrrk!”

Meanwhile, oil companies and auto manufacturing incumbents receive dozens of billions in direct subsidies and tax breaks a year and no one says shit1. Makes no sense. If you object, at least be consistent. But no one any side ever does that. And the clown show continues.

  1. A rough calculation is that worldwide, oil companies since their inception have received somewhere around $1 trillion in direct subsidies in today’s dollars.

No One Changes

Climate change definitely made that tragic flood in Texas worse.

But no one ever changes their mind about anything, and so conservatards will look stupider and stupider as climate change effects kill more and more of them.

Avoid

Exactly.

Women have really shot themselves in the foot here; they’ve created an equilibrium where only horrible, entitled, harassing men will interact with them and normal, polite men will avoid at all costs.

And then they have the gall to be like, “Where are all the good men at?” Lady, they’re over there, avoiding you just like you told them to do. Shocking.

Tally

I think sexual assault by women on men happens way, way more often than is reported but is not as visible for these reasons:

1) Men don’t report it. It makes them look weak. “What do you mean, you let a tiny little girl have her way with you?” is what you’ll get, etc., even if that makes no sense.

2) Women are a lot more subtle about the assaults they commit. They do it when they know they are more likely to get away with it.

3) Relating to point 1, almost no one cares when men do report it. It’s laughed off and not recorded.

Common estimates are that women commit around 2% of actual sexual assaults. I’d bet it is more in the 30% range. Still not as many as men, but a lot. A whole lot.

Job View

True. Most dates for men are like a bad job interview. Especially first dates. And most women do in fact treat them like a job interview (with them in the role of interviewer) combined with a hostile interrogation. Speed dating would be that amped up 1000x. No sane man would show up for that. It allows women’s worst tendencies to flourish while making men subject to Stasi-style antagonistic questioning.

Not fun at all. No fucking mystery why men didn’t want to show up to that bullshit.

Back Right Out

Had a customer tell me in a meeting that they didn’t like my company’s backup policies.

Ok? Good for you? Cool and the Gang?

I nicely and politely said the corporate equivalent of, “I don’t give a fuck, deal” and then ignored all requests to change them1. Customers be crazy, man.

  1. They wanted the right to delete any data from backups that might be associated with them. Yeah, no, not gonna happen.

I don’t think is true at all. I am at dude-in-a-Marvel-movie level fit and why tf would I hate Ozempic? It improves the aesthetics and health of the world enormously to have people not be fat slobbering cows waddling around.

I love Ozempic. I hope everyone who needs it takes it. Please.

Short Order Cooked

The degrowthers — which have more sway than makes sense — are dangerous and evil clowns.

Going their way would lead to the death of billions. And in short order, too.

Slash Lash

Again, is it any surprise there was a backlash when women succeeded in culturally positioning their sexual preferences and proclivities as good, natural and obvious while portraying men’s as immanently evil, poisonous and unethical?

Of course there was gonna be a fuckin’ backlash, you asinine numpties! Jesus fuck y’all stupid.

Mind Me

I thought this time we’d be able to get those New Minds without two major world wars1 and a Great Depression, but I was wrong.

Goddammit.

  1. Really, one long extended war with a slight pause in the middle.
