This is a short term individual solution that relies on exploiting short term dislocations of market demand for trade professionals with their supply. It’s no different than telling kids to become lawyers and then a significant amount do and undercut entire market with a glut of supply.  

I pay 400 in HOD to my Co-op and don’t have a car or mortgage in Seattle. It’s actually very cost competitive to living further out and driving especially when gas eeks above the $3.50 mark.

On point 2.

And lord knows that the groups don’t overlap because low monthly payments aren’t low interest and those banking 3000-5000 in interest over the term of the loan to invest likely are wrapping that up with investment income already present in their financial system.

So you’re to blame for Fuller House

Hypothetically yes, skilled labor could select for unskilled labor, but there are several things, workplace environment itself included, that dissuades skilled labor from pouncing on wage comparable unskilled jobs.

Everyone knows that when I’m eating bougie food, the aesthetics are the most important thing.

If you strip away all pretense of being a human, you might as well not discuss anything about being human. We’re just fuck machines and anything goes in achieving that, anything, right?

That you did, but then the usefulness of those statements is diminished because he’s probably not trying to date you and he’s back grappling with “What do women even want” without realizing women aren’t bloc. Maybe he is trying to date you though and I would subscribe to the podcast if this happens.

The girl next door is literally someone you were attracted to by proximity and nascent grappling with romantic feelings, not because they possessed a certain ‘something’ that can hypothetically be replicated.

At least with my job, I have something to show for the time I put in...

Part of it is because it reads like “Yo, all of you are chumps for not at least entertaining the idea.”

“I just want to say, in the past eight months I’ve been on three lifetime destination trips, received $1000 shoes, jewelry, throw in a few fancy weekend trips as well as the big trips, and I’ve been offered some seed money for my advertising.”

Maybe the first statement should be “Here’s the playbook to run on me” because the idea there’s a universal code to crack with women is...well...kinda bad?

Psyche Gold Diggers, yes.

It’s about pecking order - attracting dudes is or can be a factor in pecking order. But yah, it’s not solely to catch dick even among those who primarily do it to catch dick.

So here’s my thought on that - if two people view dating as purely transactional, isn’t it best they find one another rather than deluding folks not in line with that into being their pawns?

Yes and no. Conceptually using a cruise to transport drugs seems less likely to get nabbed by customs. I’ve been on several cruises and the customs inspection stuff has been...light? Perceptively trying to smuggle that weight through an airport would seem much more difficult.

So here’s the distinction - pointing out how young girls crap on themselves by virtue of the media thrown at them is not the same as crapping on them yourself.

LOL, outkicked his coverage. That’s a nice one.
