I remember you making a point about it as part of your dating advice, to avoid drinking at all. I think a little alcohol can be useful. That's why I brought it up.

I feel like a lack of open mindedness is the problem. Your must have an open heart for the opportunity to really love someone. You only get so many opportunities for a long-term relationships. That's the real shame. I know someone who's one of those rare types who cares more about being drawn to who someone is and less their looks. They got low standards looks wise in fact. I think it's genuinely easier to date when your like that. He's very open minded as a baseline.

If its like an art to you then I can relate. If your bad at dancing, and your ashamed of that, then just get good at it.

Last time I checked, Leo seems to have a bias against alcohol. A little alcohol is social and helps calm the nerves and warms you. And I don't even particularly enjoy alcohol.

Grandmas socks are the worst gift in human history. She knitted those for hours. They itch and I feel terrible.

9 times out of 10 it doesn't go anywhere in my experience. It's almost always a waste.

If your a book freak of course I'm not just imagining it.

Books are high investment and interest is highly specific and personal. Even when you think you nailed their interest they'll probably won't read it. I know a guy who has a PHD in viking history got gifted a book about Viking history and he never read it 😂 Time and time again.

Not in my experience.

He's got that light skin stare

9/11 for the homeless. Klein/11 if you will.

What are you doing besides social media? You need to fill your day with meaningful things to do. If you try to quit an addiction you should replace it with something constructive.

You just have an utopian bias. Your in an adversial relationship with reality fundamentally. That's the crux of the issue. The pushback is against bad leftist ideas of what men and women are because they are not true. Fundamentally you don't accept what women and survival actually are. Women survival is falling in love with your rapist and raising their kids, stockholm syndrome style. That's how a lot of women survived historically. Leftists see that and want to deny its even there.

It's pretty obvious that academia can't be contemplative if you think about it. It was obvious to me already before experiencing university. It's too inundated with incentives and rules which makes it more scholastic than anything. The fact that you can't make statements without basing it on a source is such a double edged sword. You have to partially outsource your sensemaking to be accepted in academia.

I think he just ratted out. Jesus was toast. He made a call to save his himself from the political intrigue conspiring against Jesus and his cult. Its a rat eat rat world 🐀 -
It's fine to make generalizations when they are largely true. It's a bigger leap to make woke post-modern claims about women, which are clearly ideological. If it's not obvious what a woman is you are probably overthinking it. Go outside more. Read how people actually live outside of modern standards of living. It's not some grand mystery. Your overstating the degree of harmful stereotyping in my opinion.
-
Let me rephrase that. I think the whole is enterprise of post-modern woke equalitism is essentially about tone policing reality. Certain aspects of reality are ugly, brutal and gruesome, so they spin tales about how reality is more fair and just than you might think. Sometimes they are right, but not always. At the end of day, reality is what it is irrespective of what you think about it. Its like being upset when crocodiles kill bison crossing the river because it's so brutal. It gets childish after a certain point.
-
Historically you might not always be so sure who your kids are exactly lol
-
Sure, but then I would caution about bias. At the end of the day, what is being said is obvious stuff. Obviously men did the majority of hunting throughout history. Sometimes reality is simple and your overthinking it for largely ideological reasons.
-
It was about how science can be biased and post-modern equality ideology.
-
Isn't that just the crux of the issue? Reality is too ugly for my sensitive puss ears lmao

Even laying bricks for an hourly wage is abnormal. Historically normal is raping and pillaging and making slaves do the labor. People have completely lost sense of how serious survival is. The two biggest concerns historically was starving and a horde of horny rapists with axes bumrushing your town. They would rip out your unborn fetus and wear it like a necklace (no joke). It's understandable that women are scared of feeling subject to men considering how powerless they can feel. It's a catch 22. Modern life shelters you from that dynamic (thanks to men), so they don't have to feel that way as much. I think that's fine. Women have more freedom to be butch bitches nowadays. It just gets stupid when people get ideological about gender and make up lore. Equalitism gets certain things wrong, so they necessarily will create bad results when those thing they are wrong about are applied.

Depends on how seriously you take it. People get wound up.

During the day he's awake, except shortly afternoon. -
Biological essentialism can feel demeaning/deterministic to women because of a long history of women being second-class to men. Post-modern equalitism, or social constructivism, tries to create more equality between the sexes by flattening the differences ideologically, but fails to achieve this maximally because the sexes are foundationally unequal in certain ways. Hence you tend lose debates arguing for equalitism, que getting emotional because it's a touchy subject. I don't think women's opinion are valued less. If anything, it's given slightly more attention because it's such a liberal space. Nobody would care if OP was a dude. It's just that your wrong when your wrong.
