@WestsideLAGuy I'd be more worried about subpar genes than status hangovers

Bros, be aware of girls who are elite adjacent, looking for a guy to fill the status void in their lives. Example. A friend went on a few amazing dates with a girl he's super into. Her dad is very successful; she went to an elite boarding school but due to her limited talents, ended up at a crappy state school. Now has a mediocre job. She dumped her ex because he wasn't elite enough, not a guy she can proudly introduce to her family & get her dad's approval that she desperately craves. No doubt she is trying to lock down my friend, already fantasizing about their lives together, having kids who end up going to Harvard/Princeton/Yale. I warned my friend to not fall for this. There's two optimal choices here. Go for a girl who is actually elite & hence free from status hangovers or a baddie who is not elite but totally self-confident in who she is.

@fkasummer No i just stop to think

If you can't read 300 pages a day, you are illiterate.

@dvb_eck @p0lar_fawn No then the guy would assume she's in love with him. There's a reason why women can't be playful like this

@p0lar_fawn Obviously a beginner, otherwise you would’ve said “no I will see YOU tomorrow”, then make sure you’re there before him, and scream SAW YOU FIRST when you spot him.

Some guy at the gym said “see you tomorrow” so now I can’t go for at least a week. I’m not ur little scheduled girl

Japan has this epidemic of great women in unhappy marriages with mediocre men. So strange...

@AiPinfu2003 I feel like you can just tell them "the gold plates are expensive, we shouldn't take them." I feel like that would be enough to make me feel guilty, even as a kid

寿司を覚えた子供達に困ってるアメリカの親へ そこは日本が通った道です。 解決策を教えます。 ・寿司屋に行く前はおにぎりを食べさせましょう。それが日本のマナーと教えましょう。 ・金色の皿は不味い、卵が一番美味しいも教えましょう。小さい頃は騙されます。 私の親はこれで食費を減らしました

Crazy how when Chinese women get old they turn into 老干妈 caricatures, but when Japanese women get old they're still pretty just with wrinkles

The Japanese complain about foreigners being obsessed with them and then they do shit like this

@coldhealing Yeah because you're famous

I'm the only person in the world who makes low six figures and is satisfied with my lot in life. Everyone else always wants more

日本に来た時、日本人みたいにルール全部きっちり守るつもりなかったけど、来てみたらガチアスペの外国人多すぎて、「俺らみんなこうじゃないから」って証明しなきゃいけなくなった。

@BIMBOSATTVA_ This is how Brave New World happens. It's not a top down mandate, we just evolve into it.

I think as far as personage goes the Bay Area sexoid polycule orgy haver class seem to generally be normal people, but what I find most peculiar is that they do not seem to truly enjoy sex, as if the real animalistic part of their brain doesn't come out, it's odd, dunno why

@arabelladevine Don't you have to stop and think when you're reading??

years ago i introduced my dad to that speed reading software that flashes one word at a time at you really fast and he read the entirety of crime and punishment on it

@justalexoki When i was playing chess every day i got better at anticipating the consequences of my actions. So i think it does generalize a little

because its not, being good at chess is a sign of being good at chess. that's it. these people generally don't seem to be too good at literally anything else. it does not generalize at all

per account, not per match

Tinder is a rougelike

Today tomorrow tonight two o'clock too late two days ago Like ok i guess there's a lot of cheap combinations with too and two but still

If I had a nickel for every word referring to a time and starting with the sound "too" I'd have... a surprising number of nickels.

Why are people entitled to a good life? I'm down for making the playing field level, but there will always be losers. The existence of losers does not imply that the playing field is not level enough.

@cookiecarver Culture does not belong in food.

forgive me italians for i have made chinese pasta and i will do it again and again and again

Yeah, if masturbation was competitive and ranked

@klara_sjo Oh my god can we make a modern retelling

The core idea of Lord of the Rings is kinda hilarious. You're a 23 year old in some Maine suburb. There's a little bracelet in your grandpa's attic with an inscription that's the password to the world's entire nuclear arsenal. Now it's on you to hike to the only hydraulic press in the world in Arizona before the FBI finds the bracelet, kills you, and takes over your whole neighborhood.

@WestsideLAGuy @Noahpinion Is it that simple?

@Noahpinion In any society with male-female parity on education & earnings, fertility rate will decline. Not sure why people don’t want to admit this.

Fertility is collapsing everywhere on Earth. It's the phones.
