I wonder if there is a fragment of a good idea in there. Maybe a dating app that like queues up men and doesn’t let the next one out of the queue until the active person gets matched to someone.

Though that sounds pretty slow and not enough dopamine in using the app to keep people on it.

Maybe not a single man, but some small amount so it is known that you can’t just screen for the 1% of dream guys. Like if you only get 5 swipes, maybe you won’t be as ready to dismiss everyone immediately.

Whatever, I’m sure there are teams of psychologists working for all those companies that have all this crap dialed in for max profit and engagement.

I like this idea, might give it a shot!

That’s just self sabotage talking. Knowing about a problem is step one and it’s what gets you in the door.

Just because you know you’ve got a broken pipe doesn’t mean you don’t need a plumber, just because you know your car is broken doesn’t mean you don’t need a mechanic, etc. There’s nothing wrong with someone helping you being a job. That doesn’t mean they won’t do that job.

The main point of therapy is to get you to look at your circumstances in different ways and provide you with coping skills you may not necessarily have developed. You may even be unaware of whatever current maladaptive coping mechanisms you’ve built up over years of just trying to survive. This is where outside professional perspective comes in handy.

However! That’s not to say therapy is a bulletproof process or that all therapists are good or that every therapist is a good fit for every person. I would liken it to finding your preferred barber or massage therapist or something. Sometimes you just got to try options till something works.

Well now we’re disappearing people to Venezuela. I don’t think we have any moral high ground anymore. Or perhaps ever.

I imagine things move slowly on global scales. Next quarter will probably be really bad.

So these centrists?

And surely you’re aware of the “No true Scottsman” logical fallacy?

You. You call your own allies intellectual cowards. You’re part of the reason the left drives it’s own support away.

What’s my type? You couldn’t have made my point for me any harder than you just did. You just irrationally lashed out at an ally.

Because all we hear about men from the left is that women would rather be with bears, and that men are useless. And that they are oppressing everyone with their privilege.

You tell some poor white kid he’s privileged, he’s not going to be your friend or sympathetic to your causes.

I don’t think messaging from the left has really done anything to win them over. It’s not necessarily that Andrew Tate is telling them anything amazing. He’s just a voice not blaming them for everything.

And IIRC FI for Forced Induction?

Fascinating!

Yeah I believe tape is still king there. LTO is working on some 500+ TB tape for the future IIRC.

Notepad++ is good.

I’m curious as to your thought process. Why does you working in retail mean it’s bullshit?

I dunno, boobs are more pleasant to look at than other crap I see on vehicles.

Yes. Simply not disintegrating while your opponent does is a valid way to win. Perhaps even the easiest way to win.

Imagine selling EV’s to a group of people then surprised Pikachu facing when you turn your back on them and tell them they are infected by empathy and a “woke mind virus.”

Imagine being so full of yourself that you Nazi salute away your entire international sales because guess what, the rest of the world doesn’t think it’s funny either.

Imagine.

At the very least it comes down to regulation of speech. Advertising is speech. Even if you got rid of like actual commercials, you’ll just shift advertising towards product placement and utilization rather than over advertisements.

Definitely a complex thing.

We can’t even refine our own oil. We import sweet crude to our refineries and export sour crude to international refineries.

That seemed like rambling wheels within wheels nonsense.
