Mr Grim, why are there so many discussions on conservative message boards from men asking how to trick liberal women into dating them?

Meanwhile on r/conservative: β€œHow do I trick liberal women into going out with me?”

Leaving aside the matter that Mr. Grim’s main gotcha point appears to be completely false.

I’ve never seen a racist want to have sex with someone they didn’t respect and thought was undeserving of basic human rights.

54-year-old white guy, been a fan of rock since childhood. Every year, I’m finding something new and interesting to listen to that captures my imagination in unexpected ways. And in all that time I haven’t listened to Mr. Corgan in… ever.

It’s like the flip side of β€œyou get what you pay for” is β€œthey respect you for what they pay.”

What I learned from working as a creative is that a person will think carefully about what they want, respect your decisions, and pay $50K without complaint, but then turn into a screaming spoiled toddler when you give them a freebie.

It really bothered me how the press treated it like nonsense. Like, you dipsticks act like this then then have the gall to look butthurt when your own actions blow up in your face.

I’d finished reading GΓΆdel, Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid just before watching it, which may have influenced things.

The Architect’s speech in Matrix: Reloaded made perfect sense. A logic system complex enough for recursion will contain a nonanswerable paradox. Incorporating that paradox yields a new system with a new paradox. Neo is the paradox who establishes the next matrix by deciding his own truth value.

Hear me out: Dr. Oz’s political career was backed and funded by elements within the Turkish government in retaliation for the Biden administration’s official recognition of the Armenian genocide of 1919.

Yeah, just read his wiki page. Thought he was usually more thorough than that.

Wow, I’d lost track of Ted Frank after alt.folklore.urban on Usenet.

That was their actual superbowl ad with Chris Hemsworth. He mistrusts Alexa being able to control the house and starts listing ways it could kill him (like closing the pool cover while he’s swimming). Alexa just says β€œOh, I’d never do that. Shall I order you a massage?” and Chris comes round.

Amazon ad presents ways your Alexa could get you killed, then addresses it with β€œhaha, as if that would happen. Purchase consumer goods and stop worrying.”

He’s apparently back here. Instead of doing actual work, he’s just glomming onto more successful people in an effort to raise his own profile. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.

I cut MP off when that started, so I don’t know how virulent he got. I just remember it starting with something small and him just doubling down and refusing to apologize.

He seems to be playing to a completely empty hall just to hear his own voice, but yes.

Obnoxious asshole who made β€œI am an aggrieved white man in Japan!” his entire shtick is unfortunately back on his shit after a long absence, harassing WoC for the crime of having a life and family in Japan and generally having their shit together far better than he ever has.

We spent a good 3/4th of the semester on taoties. When I read a current book on Ancient Chinese archaeology and art, taoties took up a single paragraph of the 1100 pages.
