@bluewmist A few custom suits. Impossible to wear anything else once you start

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

@the_book_land Patrick Stewart speaking it in the Hollow Crown is amazing

Your daily dose of Shakespeare. One can't read this often enough.

@Narcomancer20 Yes, I'm sure people only "pretend" not to understand your retarded gibberish lol

@johnofgauntlet Anyone who's bothered to read this far can see which one of us is shallow & incoherent. Your rhetoric only evidenced OP's point about creepy, predatory men. Tch tch. I'd pretend not to understand too, if I were you. Cognitive dissonance is a bi✝️ch. 🔇

Why do women do this to themselves? Older men like younger women because they are predators. It has nothing to do with baggage, fertility or looks. They are predators, go to sleep and move on.

@Narcomancer20 You’re literally too stupid to compose coherent English sentences lmao

@johnofgauntlet Nah, you're just dim. There's nothing demonstrably wrong with my English. You're clutching at straws.

@Narcomancer20 Or bad English lol

@johnofgauntlet It's not broken. You just don't understand straightforward abbreviation.

@le0nardpoetry It’s just very bad prose. You could replace the specialized terms with simpler ones & the sentence would still be badly written—overloaded clauses, delayed main verb, etc. Good academic writing is sharp & clear.

The syntax of this sentence is actually very lucid ("The move from x (in which a) to y (in which b) changed q, and marked a shift from n to m) and is only inscrutable to people without a grounding in the specific terms of the field (myself included). Like it's fine

@Narcomancer20 Tell whatever cautionary tales you like. Reality is reality, sorry

@johnofgauntlet And I'm saying your rhetoric coupled w older women's pathetic need to pander to men like you is viewed as a cautionary tale by actual 20 somethings. Men that fetishize youth -🚩🚩avoid. Women that base their self worth on male sexual attention-what NOT to be.

@Narcomancer20 No I was saying I couldn’t understand your broken English

@johnofgauntlet You're the one who introduces a topic then claims not to understand discourse around what you yourself introduced. You said old women get Botox to look 21, I'm telling you 25yo influencers get Botox too & it doesn't make them look younger. I'm telling u

@Narcomancer20 It’s just that we find them the hottest lol. Women are obsessed with injecting this basic reality with all sorts of evil ulterior motives & psychology bc they wish that fact weren’t true

@johnofgauntlet Sure, and ppl are allowed to interrogate that bias which prizes her inexperience and the control it accords an insecure old man, shielding his ego from her agency & the possibility of resistance/rejection. Women don't look drastically different between 25 or 32.

@Narcomancer20 I can ban barely parse this

@johnofgauntlet @ffatpumpumgal The age for filler/botox is creeping downwards to 20s now. Unless they're outliers, noo1 hs static wrinkles in 30s. It's cosmetic surgery bred insecurity. Ik cosmetic surgeons, among docs it's an open secret. Why surgically altered 20-smetng Bella Hadid was voted 'perfect face'

@Narcomancer20 Idk what women care about—though many in this thread seem quite heavily invested in denying the truth that men are most attracted to 20-something—I’m just telling you what reality looks like

@johnofgauntlet Why would women care about men finding them attractive otherwise? It's about finding a romantic companion. Long term, getting w men is a horrible idea & women like Hudson are waking up to the sunk cost but refusing to smell the ☕. Gen Z women are shunning men, marriage in droves

@Narcomancer20 Correct - we’re biased towards younger women bc we find them more attractive. Sorry - women don’t get a vote in who men want to have sex with 🤷

@johnofgauntlet It's a bias, youthfulness=Desirable. 30+ woman even when objectively better looking=less attractive. At the same time, IRL, I see those pretty 30+ women drowning in attention, still 🤷‍♀️ yahoo.com/lifestyle/hail…

@Narcomancer20 This isn’t about marriage

@johnofgauntlet Marriage is based on lasting love and mutually desire so it's a losing game to be w a man who will devalue u fr ageing while himself being a 🍺bellied baldy (most men nvr get to experience handsomeness, way more b'ful women than men, which is y the prettiest lady yk is w an ogre)

@ffatpumpumgal @Narcomancer20 I mean…they’re just more physically attractive at 21 than 35. Even women know this on some level - they put themselves through all manner of skin routines & Botox injections & plastic surgeries to try to look 21 again

@johnofgauntlet @Narcomancer20 But why is that ? What about the age difference makes them more attractive if the reasons aren’t predatory ?

@Narcomancer20 This is about who mend find most physically attractive. The answer is girls in their early 20s

@johnofgauntlet Also yOU dId thE mEmE'. Most 40yo men even if they date a 25yo, would struggle to connect or relate w her and may find her immaturity tedious while she finds them jaded and dull as she's experiencing things for the 1st time & wants sme1 at a similar life stage to

@Narcomancer20 No one said they become disposable or they’re worth less as people. They’re simply less physically desired by men

@johnofgauntlet Sadly , some hv no purpose beyond gng wherever their w1lly points them. All that human sapience wasted. Your wife will age as will you. Ppl don't become disposable bcs they commit the sin of existing in the temporal dimension.

@R0B0Tsociety @aakashgupta The face that launched a couple of Nissan altimas

@aakashgupta 🤦🏼‍♂️

Christopher Nolan just showed Trojan Horse footage from The Odyssey at CinemaCon. The business math behind this movie is wild. $250 million budget. His most expensive film ever. First movie shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras. No franchise, no sequel, no superhero IP. The source material is a 3,000-year-old poem. IMAX opening weekend tickets went on sale a full year before release. They sold out in 12 hours. $1.5 million in ticket revenue before a single TV spot aired. The trailer pulled 121.4 million views in 24 hours. More than Universal's Wicked sequel. More than double what Oppenheimer's first trailer did in the same window. Today's footage confirmed Charlize Theron is playing Calypso, the nymph who kept Odysseus trapped on her island for seven years. The scene opens with Damon asking her "How long have I been here?" He can't remember if he had a wife or a son. That's pure Nolan. Starting the story in captivity, with a man who's lost his own identity. The same filmmaker who opened Memento backwards. The cast is absurd: Damon, Holland, Hathaway, Pattinson, Zendaya as Athena, Lupita Nyong'o, Theron, Bernthal as Menelaus, Safdie as Agamemnon, Mia Goth, Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Travis Scott. Nolan joked it would be faster to list who isn't in it. His last five films averaged $680 million worldwide. Oppenheimer made $976 million with an R rating and a three-hour runtime about a physicist. Every studio spent the last decade convinced original films can't open big. Nolan's response: adapt the oldest story in Western literature. Homer's been in public domain for about 2,500 years. Nolan IS the franchise. His name on a poster does what a superhero logo used to do. Universal figured this out when they signed him after Warner Bros let him walk over a streaming window dispute. Twenty years of partnership, gone. July 17. IMDb's most anticipated film of 2026. Built from a poem your ninth-grade English teacher assigned.

@xwanyex @conor64 @NotoriousAKG No no - let’s bank western civilization on the hope that the selection effect works to our advantage and the astronomical rates of migrant rape and benefits-leeching we see in Europe is an aberration

@conor64 @NotoriousAKG Would you at least grant that this is less and less true over time as travel and communication technology gets better, cheaper, and more widely distributed?

A more useful way to think about immigration: the tiny cohort of people who self-select to leave one place and move to another are unrepresentative of the population of the place they're leaving in many ways, including being much better suited to the place they chose to go

@dreadhead_gemi @mike_lime_ @indicmawntee The “jewel”

@mike_lime_ @indicmawntee Literally the “jewel of the British empire” India was the most colonized place in the world at one point You’re soooooooo wrong

how i sleep knowing that Colonisers are getting Colonised

@Imsdali @mike_lime_ @indicmawntee Presumably he meant any longer (bc of the smell)

@mike_lime_ @indicmawntee do you know history like at all LMAO
