    I don’t know what kind of relationships you’ve had with men

    I’m a straight man. If you think I’m being unfair to men I’m not. I’m just capable of looking at myself and others critically and fairly and not bullshitting myself by pretending to cold and saintly virtue. To be without passion or drive is neither virtuous or desirable. I don’t need to research men to understand what it is to be a man especially a young man. I’m sorry you are so confused that you can’t even have this conversation maturely.

    You’re talking as if women didn’t have sexual desires and…

    I didn’t say they didn’t . I’m not sure why you would think that.

    What about asexuals?

    The overwhelming majority of men are neither gay nor asexual. My statement is generally correct.

    What about men that have respect for their SO and don’t see sex as the final goal?

    It’s either the final goal or its on the way there. Young men want sex. Sexual tension is a factor even if neither he nor she sees it as a likely thing. Failing to understand that is liable to lead to failing to apprehend human behavior which often makes no sense if we remove such tension. Men don’t just do things for love they do things for imaginary hypothetical love neither party believes will ever happen. Watch people interact sometime.

    I’m in the middle of downtown in a small city shops are heavily weighed towards convenience or kick nacks. EG 2 different gift stores and no hardware store. Lots of convenience stores and two specialty markets but only one grocery store and that at least double the cost and 1/100th the selection of the chain stores with the floor space of 7-11.

    Looking back small shops always had shitty prices and selection


  • So a coworker at one point was selling this interesting odds and ends offered me a knife with a lighter on the other side. I did need a knife to open things but I had no real use for a lighter as I don’t smoke but I of course bought it anyway because it was cool. Had this little dial to adjust the size of the flame… Fast forward to later that night bending over with a 6 inch flame coming out of my pocket from the end sticking out.


  • We are helping people enduring unimaginable hardship in a war zone where their children are being stolen and their people slaughtered. Our financials are so structured that money already committed won’t be withheld even if the Republicans have a tantrum and shut the government down.

    The defect and the outrage is that Republicans are allowed to take away first responders pay HERE not that it isn’t also taken away there. This is classic "they aren’t hurting the right people thinking. Fuck you newsweek.



  • Half the population has less than 1000 bucks in savings and doesn’t have a degree like an MD that would bump them to the top of the list as far as citizenship elsewhere. How do you propose people make this happen? The people who are most disadvantaged are those who would have the hardest time doing so.




  • We were historically terrible at identifying predators and mostly let them alone to victimize or if their victims were less important destroyed victims lives as a matter of course leading to wide scale silence by victims.

    We have less crime by far and prosecute more scumbags than we did 50 years ago.

    Communities “handling” bad folks by individual violence never worked worth a shit because communities have always cared about whose more important than who is right and it doesn’t meaningfully scale which is why it never worked worth a shit it real life.

    In order to deal with shit heads you have to have a dispassionate authority whose job it is to prosecute shit heads who isn’t politically bound to give a shit about your penny ante local bullshit and the expectation that local yokels will properly do their job and push shit up the food chain or be held accountable.
