Hahah, it’s funny because he’s a violent abusive misogynist who brutalized his ex-wife, a woman 23 years his junior, and then capped it off by suing her for millions of dollars, making his ruination of his life complete, and now a major media conglomeration, which put this garbage on basically every network on TV last…

Yes, but then who is to appoint the judges? Elected officials? Who decides who is competent? Trump just destroyed our judicial system with hundreds of people he and his team fully believe are competent, but to the Bar Association itself are seen as not fit to sit on the bench. I wish meritocracy were as simple as…

“I remember one time when we went out to dinner with my dad, the world’s most functional alcoholic. He ordered a carafe of wine for himself, but the waitress understandably brought him a glass. He said ‘I wanted a carafe, this is just enough to make me angry.’ ”

I’d love to revel in these assholes getting hoisted by their own petards, but that hoisting comes through the unnecessary suffering of lots of women and girls.  So all I can really do is say fuck all of these people, and if this were a truly functional society, powerful people like this asshole who cavalierly impose…

The dramatist in me hoped that as soon as the package opened, the cards would turn to dust and fade into the wind.

In fairness, ‘It....Why not?’ is a pretty solid reaction to the Markia-Radagon connection.

Its absurd and makes no sense and even the best lore enthusiasts don’t know how it works mechanically. But why not? Its bonkers enough for a Fromsoft game, I’ll roll with it.

I’m so sick of them pretending that they’re doing this for “historical accuracy” when the vast majority of the female characters in G0T were conventionally attractive, skinny, and completely hairless below their eyebrows.

But what happened to those special powers “Gender-Critical” transphobes claimed to have that allowed them to “just know” who was assigned female sex at birth ensuring that this exact situation could never happen...

Because to them, women are interchangeable. They swipe right or ask out every woman they meet. They have zero idea of they want for substance. All they want is a woman who meets their physical standards. Like a charm on a bracelet. 

If it’s any reassurance, most women aren’t disparaging “mediocre” men for having mediocre looks, intelligence, jobs, etc. The mediocrity we want to avoid is the historical mediocrity of men’s contribution to relationships. E.g., expecting the woman to be attuned and attentive to his needs and wants without trying to…

You could have 100 women write down 10 things they are looking for from their ideal partner, compile that data and create a list of 10 or 12 things that women are looking for, become the ideal embodiment of those things, make it your life’s work to make sure that you have those 10 or 12 characteristics, and you can…

Bingo. It’s PUA/MRA logic. Guys are told to swipe right on every woman on Tinder, rather than actually look at their profiles and see if it’s someone they might actually be able to form an emotional connection with. 

“You could have 100 women write down 10 things they are looking for from their ideal partner, compile that data and create a list of 10 or 12 things that women are looking for, become the ideal embodiment of those things, make it your life’s work to make sure that you have those 10 or 12 characteristics, and you…

I don’t mean desperate. I use “gross” to describe the same guy the OP is talking about (I think): totally self-centered and not at all understanding that women are real people. Most of these guys also got really uptight when I had my own opinions and wasn’t content to just nod along with theirs. I wish I could say…

So ironic. When I dated, I could have gone on first dates every night of the week for a month if I wanted to.

“How am I supposed to know what you like?! I’m not a mind reader!”

I dated a lot before I got married.

I can’t throw shade, my desk at work is typically a chaotic mess too.
