I mean, Moody made a glib, passing remark, one that didn’t actually say “those women are less black.” Kweli accused her of having said that in the middle of a, frankly, unbelievable campaign of harassment against her. So, yeah, I agree you could read her tweet as saying that. That’s why I’m willing to give you the…

I read it as pointing out that even where rappers aren’t marrying white women, they are still marrying lighter-skinned black women. I don’t read it as saying those lighter-skinned black women aren’t really black, I read it as pointing out that even where rappers marry black women their choices still seem to be…

All things considered, the original tweet is way besides the point, but I have to take a bit of issue with:

Lol, I’ve always loved that lyric, mostly because it is so on-brand for Kanye as an egocentric asshole.

Okay. I don’t think Ellen is sifting through resumes for interns, and I’m sure she delegates routine hiring and firing decisions, particularly for lower level staffers. But ultimately, she in the position to be the final word on all of that. Complaints about people contributing to a toxic workplace culture, and…

The people behind the scenes of Ellen’s show aren’t working in bumblefuck with no unionization or human resources. They’re grown ass people that I’m sure have held other positions before they got hired for the Ellen show. If that workplace has become so toxic their first stop should have been HR not fucking twitter.

“She knows she can be tough at times,” the source continued, “but believes she works hard and is extremely creative and that it’s a privilege to work for her and be around her.”

Heart issues in 80% of cases is not a similar thing you see in other common respiratory illnesses like the cold and the flu.  Yes, for a variety of reasons the reality may be much less severe than this study implies (although they could be more severe), but there is a reason people who study this stuff for a living…

You should read actually make an attempt to read and comprehend the sources you cite. That 62% number represents the number of people who already have myocarditis associated with getting H1N1 who then develop a more severe, acute form of myocarditis, fulminant myocarditis. In the study here related to covid, by…

You are an active participants in your interactions with women. If you find that your interactions with women are not satisfying, I wonder if you’ve considered the problem might lie somewhere other than with nearly every woman you go out with.  What is it that you think women owe you? If you think nearly every woman…

So, I think your perception of what women “often” and “frequently” say is skewed. And those things you think women often or frequently saying, you are reading far too much into it. In any event, like all people, some women are interesting and engaging, some aren’t, some are interesting and engaging to some and others.…

It has nothing to do with being “good” at dating (whatever that means, I doubt I am it).  It’s that, there are lots of women who are interesting and charming and engaging, and that’s something you can reasonable expect women you go out with to be.

You can reasonably expect women to be interesting and engaging, and to make an effort. What are you talking about?

.

What the fuck are you talking about? Of course you can expect women to charm and entertain and impress you. Why would you want to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t do any of those things?

The thing that struck me about that stupid mystery show was how much the “techniques” were just shit like dress nicely, approach women with confidence, try to be charming and funny, approach a lot of women to increase your odds, etc. That’s all relatively obvious, and harmless, anodyne shit that anyone, man or woman,…

Why should women not expect men they are to be in a romantic relationship with to entertain, charm, or otherwise impress them?

Men are a lot less likely to chat with female waitstaff when on first dates. And men are definitely less likely to chat with female passengers on the bus when with their girlfriends. Both of those are recipes for disaster for a man. Women do it more often. And men are more likely to put up with it. If a man does it,…

That (1) there is no research showing that NLP has the therapeutic effects it claims and (2) that it is fundamentally predicated on manipulation can both be true at the same time.  They are not mutually exclusive in any respect.

I can’t attest to whether “many women” engage in the behavior you are describing for the manipulative reasons you are describing. All I can say is that I have never personally experienced that sort of behavior, witnessed any woman I know engage in that sort of behavior, nor have I heard any woman I know describing…
