Those who claim that women’s attraction is all about looks are, of course, guys with zero experience. If they had any, they would know how ridiculously little it takes for a woman to lose interest in you even though she finds your looks acceptable, which this is a perfect example of.

You didn’t specify a time, only a day. I’m not sure why, but all women are unforgiving when it comes to this. At least that’s my experience. You won’t believe how many times this has happened to me.

I don't quite see how the Democratic party is to blame here, but no doubt people with attitudes you describe here have an unfair amount of influence over the party. That's why there needs to be several parties. One for rich and woke capitalists, one for rich capitalists who are not woke, one for working-class people who want more economic equality, etc.

There's no way in hell Trump was the better option for them, but if there's one thing all of this shows us, it's that the two-party system must be abandoned. "Don't blame me! I voted for Kodos."

Btw, I’m not saying this because I have anything against trans people. I’m saying it because it’s a really bad strategy. If you want to get rid of anti-trans attitudes, loudly support economic equality and politicians like Bernie Sanders, not identity politics. And above all, don’t attack people who don’t have the privilege of caring as much about trans people as you do.

This is not true. Liberals, especially the visible, rich, and powerful ones, have been way too focused on trans issues for a long time. These people are also often very capitalistic and unwilling to share their wealth, so I completely understand the poor and working-class Americans’ resentment toward elites. Too bad their “solution” to the problem, MAGA, is the worst possible one and only makes things much worse for them.

What you’re saying is pretty much the complete opposite of what I’ve learned through first-hand experience, which really makes me question how much experience you actually have.

This is coming from first-hand experience, right?

Reading Facebook comments is always wild. Yesterday I read maybe the dumbest and most primitive thing I’ve ever seen, and guess what? It was the most liked comment in a Facebook comment section.

Most likely. I'm actually trying to get diagnosed these days, but that might be difficult/expensive because I didn't qualify for ADHD assessment during the process when I was diagnosed with autism. I've tried Ritalin, but it seems to primarily give me extreme anxiety. Modafinil is what works for me. Too bad I've been unable to get it for years.

Probably big part of the reason why many of them worked hard to get that power.

It’s the way they’re «stopping» illegal immigration. That and many many other things. They’re basically pushing fascism as far as they can in America in 2026.

This one has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. When you post food photos, every single person knows you’re doing it just to brag, including yourself, no matter how little impressive the food is. And still people just keep doing it, maybe even several times a day…

Depends though. I’m probably one of the worst meditators on Earth, and I pretty much always end up sitting there daydreaming for over 90% of the time. Still, I’m definitely more focused on the days when I’ve done mindfulness meditation than when I haven’t.

Great top comment in the comment section: "True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that bullies from your grade school are running the country" — paraphrase of Kurt Vonnegut

Did you see the video I linked to?

And this was clearly not the case here.

No, she wasn’t. https://x.com/EdKrassen/status/2009059075875619265

Pretty incredible that hair with middle part isn’t mentioned yet. It’s an epidemic.

This one is big where I live: The need to prevent sausages from splitting.

1984 and Animal Farm also need to be mentioned. Orwell is the greatest writer of all time in my eyes, and his books are just becoming more and more relevant. It seems to me that not nearly enough Americans have read these books or remember them well enough. The similarities between Trump and Napoleon (the pig) are shocking.

Mette Frederiksen doesn’t… https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/world/europe/trump-greenland-denmark.html

Norway still has a lot of oil and gas, and from MAGA’s perspective we are Islamized socialists/communists. God help us.

Seems like I’ve subconsciously adopted ChatGPT’s writing style. Now I’m ashamed.

I disagree here. Stage Purple is the lifestyle our bodies and minds are still programmed for. Therefore, it might actually be the most important stage to understand. It’s at least the stage I’m most interested in. If we want to build lives and societies with as much fulfillment and happiness as possible, I think it’s crucial to understand this way of life. For example, how do you expect to live a happy and fulfilling life if you don’t have anything in your life that resembles a good old tribe? Maybe you have some family members and friends you see once in a while, but that’s probably not nearly enough for anybody. The socialization I’ve had in my life that truly was magical and fulfilling was when my family and I were with other families we were close friends with, with kids around my age. That was kind of like a tribe. On the other hand, normal family gatherings have never given me much, and just being with my buddies has pretty much always just given me a shallow and weak form of enjoyment. We also get a pretty false picture of Stage Purple from our culture, the way it’s shown through Hollywood, etc. For example, a chief is something I have always associated with Stage Purple tribal life, but that’s actually something you find more in Red societies. Purple tribes usually don’t have one strong leader like that. Conclusion: If you don’t have anything better to do, I would love it if you took notes on Purple as well!
