I fully support MAID for those who act all clown-ass.

On a more serious note, MAID will probably be increasingly used to get rid of inconvenient and disabled people, and maybe eventually anyone over a certain age, like that Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. Though come to think of it what would bother people now is the age gap between Beverly Crusher and the older dude, not that he was to be euthanized soon. She was ~35 and he was 64. Modern morons folks would only care about that non-issue, not the actual ethical issues involved in killing off people because they become less productive.

What times we live in.

Actually Terrible

What commonly regarded good advice from women is actually terrible advice?

If advice from women to other women is counted, it’s this:

“Have sex immediately with guys you don’t really like but do want sex from, but make the ‘good’ guys wait for sex.”

This has the exact opposite effect as the one intended. It’s terrible advice and a horrible practice if you want a quality long-term relationship.

That doesn’t mean you as a woman (or as a man) must jump into bed on the first date, but it does mean you are vastly more likely to alienate and drive away the good guys you want to stick around while the guys you don’t want stalk and harass you. It’s utterly moronic to do this.

And if I (as would many guys) found out that a woman had treated me or thought about me like this I’d dump her immediately, no questions asked.

All New Is Bad

This is something I have been saying for several years now. In my lifetime the “progressives” have switched places with conservatives so that they are now far more likely to be opposed to any change and/or progress than traditional conservatives ever were. It’s been strange to witness, and even odder as it has been so firmly denied while so very clearly occurring.

I do not know quite what to make of it, but it has been sad to see.

Stark Diff

Something that for years was not allowed to be discussed and that is also really foreign from men’s experiences and understanding is the hatred attractive women often have for other attractive women.

As a dude with mostly female friends, I have to admit I still do not comprehend it. There is not a guy in the world who has ever thought (consciously or unconsciously1), Damn, I wish George Clooney weren’t so attractive! That should be stopped! That is just not how male intrasexual competition works, to the extent it even exists post high school.

Like, it’d never occur to a man that because there are more attractive male athletes than they are on TV, that those athletes should not be shown or should be forced to cover up. This is not a thought a man would have in a billion years. But it’s how many women seem to operate by default for some reason. And I think that it’s gotten far worse over the past couple of decades. Like most things, since the 1990s it has metastasized into something dark and dangerous.

It’s disconcerting to think that women would be more ardent supporters of sharia law than most men because they’d see it as disadvantaging their competitors. We should probably do something about that. Not sure what, though.

  1. As it is for many women, which makes it worse.

Nome

Unfortunately, this is utter self-serving nonsense. It does not take a fucking $100 million lab to bionegineer a dangerous virus, you asinine idiot mook. The smallpox genome is on the goddamn internet, you utter lying moron1.

What this really is: an attempt to prevent regulation of AI models that might be able to do dangerous things. That’s it. That’s all. Don’t look beyond that because there is not anything beyond that.

  1. With that and some time, I could make smallpox in my own lab for ~$200,000.
