I’m not sure I’d rather be dead than be vegan, but it’s not an easy decision I have to admit.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

That looks like a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Big puppy. The woman pilot is holding the IFR (International Flight Release) paperwork.

Why would a black hawk be doing a training course at night in the middle of a busy airport?

To learn not to crash into airliners.

They failed the course obvs.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done to [a] girl?

I feel terrible about this to this day, but when I was at some military training there was this Air Force girl there that was like a little puppy dog the way she was into me. I have no idea why. No, I wasn’t attracted to her and didn’t sleep with her. I’m not that evil.

But I did my best to be her friend though she got on my (and most people’s) nerves. I should’ve been clearer about that to her, but I also didn’t want to hurt her. There didn’t seem to be any call for that.

That said, on to what I did. For some reason she had these absolutely huge and heavy photography cases. They were about 4×3′ and weighed a good 80 pounds each. There were two of them. This was excessive and unnecessary for what we were doing, by the way.

During our last days in training, she asked me to help her with these absurdly large cases, which involved taking them to and carrying them through the airport. Now, this was before 9/11 — I could’ve walked all the way to the gate with her. However, I did not need to go to this airport and had no reason to drive that way.

I told her I would help her, though.

The day we were all set to leave, I thought about how much work it’d take to deal with those cases, how far out of my way it was and how much she annoyed me. I pondered that for a bit, then got in my car and drove away. I didn’t call her or let her know — I just disappeared.

I’m not proud. But that is what I did. Sorry, weird Air Force girl.

End birthright citizenship. End all citizenship! You lot are not citizens of anything until you conquer the galaxy with me.

Get fucking started.

5 girls ranking themselves by attractiveness pic.twitter.com/Nr0HfSL26Z

Leftists/liberals hate this stuff because it reveals social truths that they wish weren’t the case. But it’s incredibly interesting to me. And we should think about these things. It shows how much women actually do not understand what is attractive to most men aesthetically.

I would’ve ranked them similarly except the tall blonde woman with striking features I would’ve put first and changed her place with the short Asian woman. She’s the prettiest and has the most appealing personality to me (of the very little you can see of it). The blonde woman is being penalized essentially because she has short hair and has a somewhat masculine affect, and a lot of men hate both of those things. If she had long, flowing hair with those features she would’ve been chosen by almost all of them.

That’s correct. “Locker room talk” is something women believe men do because they themselves engage in it, but most men (the vast, vast majority) do not. However, it’s common for women! So it’s all projection.

I was in the army for five years. I never witnessed any “locker room” talk at all. The closest I ever heard was something like, “Rebecca was hot! I hope she likes me.” Or something of that nature. Most of it was so vanilla and anodyne. And unlike in high school, in the army I was popular and well-liked. So it wasn’t like I was being excluded, etc.

I miss how freakishly smart the intern I mentored some years ago was. Her brain was big, y’all.

This is a bit harsh, but yeah, it’s also true:

Instead of gilding the lily, it’s like fecesing the lily.

People ask me fairly frequently why I’ve never had kids.

And one reason is because I’d make a terrible father. I’m selfish, do not like kids and did not like being a kid. No, I wouldn’t like a kid even if it were my own. I wouldn’t want to inflict me being a father or anyone having to be a kid on someone either. There’s already enough suffering in the world and I have no desire to add to it.

Also, there’s likely to be much disruption due to climate change and potentially WWIII. Who would want to bring a child into that?

So that’s the simple answer.

The world became a lot more dangerous when chipmunks started becoming vampires and some garbage bins switched to a carnivorous diet.

Be careful out there.

Have you experienced the feeling that male needs in a relationship are less important? How have you approached this?

In every relationship I’ve had except my current one, my needs were definitely seen as less important and less a priority than those of the woman’s.

In this one, we are true equals and working to make it better all the time.

I think men being seen as less important is the societal default?

Do you have a favorite child? A new study may have the answer.

My sister was definitely the favorite child and I understand why. She was far more agreeable, less aggressive, much cuter and had a sunny disposition when she was younger.

Meanwhile, I the opposite of all that. I was a bit of a demon. So it only makes sense. I would not have been my favorite either.

Dell outlet sent me the wrong server.

That’s 737TB (yes, terabytes) in there. Those drives are like $15,000 each. To me it looks like they sent you exactly the right server.

I want. I need. I wish Dell would send me this very right server accidentally.

When I’m on the phone with IT people from other companies, it’s dispiriting to realize how much more I know than they do.

Sure I’m bragging a little, but I honestly wish they knew more. Their lack of subject matter knowledge makes getting anything accomplished so much harder.

Most people are average. And around half of them are worse than that.
