My understanding of the theory is not that cave people were actively engaging in some kind of multi-factor analysis intended to find a mate; rather, I think the idea is that the socially constructed standard of attractiveness in those societies derived from an individual member’s capacity to perform the tasks valued…

This phrase is, for me, the very best evidence I’ve seen in favor of other commenters’ theory that this is some Red Pill/MRA false flag operation. Mind you, I do not affirmatively believe that is actually the case... but this is conspicuously bad advice!

Regardless of their mutual disdain, or the respective legitimacy of their grievances, FDS and TRP are tied together by their fundamental ethos. Neither of these communities are interested in equality, mutuality, vulnerability, or interdependence. Instead, their focus is on control and manipulation, and opportunistic…

I’d kill for an old stillsuit from Lynch's Dune. 

Why would they even have to pretend these clubs are secret?

Given these reactions, one would think that an angry activist kicked open the bathroom door while Sinema was taking a massive dump.

Is this some kind of Dune costume? Can’t decide whether it’s Fremen couture or Harkonnen chic. And, enigmatically, the overcoat is pure Blade Runner.

Getting rid of the Greek system would be the first step in what would probably be a very long road. Once you shut down the official system, houses, etc., what you’re going to end up with is a series of, what will amount to, private social clubs—many of which will attempt to operate as “secret societies”. Now, they’re…

My position has, and continues to be, that there probably isn’t anything any politician can do (legally at least,) to coerce Joe Manchin into not being a piece of shit.

Do we have the percentage chance that any given police encounter with a Black person will result in a shooting?

That’s disheartening as all get out, but I’m not about to act like it’s not a perfectly reasonable assumption.

Jesus, that’s even worse! I’m at least starting from the assumption that Breyer gives a shit. Holy smokes, the idea that he’s just checked out is way more bleak than what I had imagined.

Breyer should . . . ask himself whether his ego is worth possibly risking long-running health problems just as another pivotal election is on the horizon.

Shonda Rhimes couldn’t even get an extra pass to Disney world from the network where she literally had a whole night of programming named after herself.

But do you really think Hollywood would see it that way? I’m sincerely asking. What you’re saying is awfully progressive.

Ooooh, I didn’t forget. Thing is that I wouldn’t call Luke Wilson’s zero-personality/agency love interest in Old School a “notable credit”.

On the other hand, a privileged white lady yelling at a Black man is a very, very bad look.

I find interesting the possibility that many of the same people who find the existence of mega conglomerate retailers morally repugnant, would also favor a regulatory schema that (while inarguably upstanding from a humanitarian and ‘labor equity’ standpoint,) would potentially make it impracticable for a merchant to op…

As far as I’m concerned, The Bachelor and Bachelorette are just the farm league for the franchise’s crown jewel: Bachelor in Paradise. 

People with these kinds of takes are like cockroaches—if you see one, there’s thousands/millions. Analogously, where you see one or two celebrities issue stupid/no good takes about a thing, you can rest assured they’re merely the famous tip of a dishearteningly enormous iceberg.
