I have no interest in starting something like this, but I bet you could make significant money by spooling up a dating site that only allowed women with no tattoos.
A lot of men would fork over some serious cheddar to be on that. I would, were I single. I’d probably consider up to $500 a month, though I know I am an outlier there. In the $50-$80 a month range is probably more realistic.
So multiple intelligence agencies knew the pandemic was a lab leak from Wuhan and it was covered up from the public. This is massive. https://t.co/k1faLdSszz

I believe that Covid was a lab leak, but I don’t think “knew” is the right word here. “Knew” implies certitude, which we’ll never have. There will never be a smoking gun. I’m sure China destroyed that long ago.
“Beyond reasonable doubt” as stated in the intelligence report is more accurate. The preponderance of evidence and simple common sense all point to a lab leak. The evidence against this conclusion appear to be all engineered or an attempted coping mechanism by scientists who are worried about their funding being affected by the consequences of revealing such a large mistake (though lab leaks happen rather frequently, just usually not so consequentially).
It is good to see the lab leak hypothesis going from “wacky conspiracy theory that only terrible, terrible racists believe” to relatively accepted.
I think it could happen. A whole lot of the left is against anything that you do to improve yourself physically because they see it as “eugenics.” That includes working out, drugs, plastic surgery and anything that might give you some sort of advantage over anyone else. I mean, Vonnegut wrote a whole damn short story about this phenomenon many years ago. And it’s only gotten worse since.
So of course liberals would be against GLP-1 drugs because they make you look and feel better. And can’t have that.
Today, I did lots of eugenics. I worked out hard enough that my arms still aren’t functioning quite right. I’m gonna do some more eugenics tomorrow too.
Best friend and I having a nostalgia day.
Looks more like a cardiovascular event and obesity day to me. Every one of those foods is vile.
Geared Up for a Fight with a Bat, But Knocked Out at the Junction.
It’s always said you can’t fight two people at once and win. And most times, that’s true. But if you’re fighting untrained people, you’ve been in a lot of fights and if you’re not completely ambushed, wining is actually doable1.
Notice on the second guy how the person being attacked uses the assailant’s head as leverage to twist that second attacker and throw him down on his back. Classic Greco-Roman wrestling move I also learned in krav maga class back in the day. You don’t have to be bigger or even stronger than your attacker to do that move, though it helps. But you do have to do it like you mean it.
And a bat is not actually that great a weapon especially if you’re not extremely strong. A collapsing baton is better. With a bat, miss once and you’re fucked (as can be seen there).
This is really quite the intrigue: German intelligence believed #COVID19 was a lab leak all along, but kept it quiet until now https://t.co/0e32CiIzaS

That Covid was a lab leak is to me nearly certain. Nothing else makes any sort of sense, given the evidence and Occam’s Razor. Of course it was kept quiet. I mean, first of all, that’s what intelligence agencies generally do is keep shit on the DL. Second, everyone is eager to kowtow to China because they are a big dog with stacks of cash.
If more women did more things like this, they’d likely be happier.
Being passive doesn’t work. I know that’s the “traditional” role for women and that getting rejected sucks, but time to put on your big girl pants and deal with it. Want to be treated just like men? Here’s your chance!
It’s definitely the case that one of the reasons I like hanging out with women is that I am terrible at male-male ways of relating and because around women I am not usually the target of the intense female intrasexual competition you didn’t used to be allowed to admit even existed.
So that’s a win-win for me.
I could never be an incel, but I definitely understand how you could get that way; most of what most men — especially average men — experience from women is coldness and casual cruelty.
I know the “reasons” women have for being this way, of course. But it doesn’t make it less psychologically damaging to experience.
With the decline of third spaces where women and men could hang out with no expectations and pressure, this was nearly destined to occur.
Received a random Amazon envelope with USBs.
If you plug some unexpectedly-received USB sticks into your computer, you deserve whatever you get. And whatever it is won’t be pretty.
Sure, they might be clean, but why risk it? Someone skilled enough can make malware that is nearly undetectable. Just smash and trash.
All of you who have guilty pleasures are weak. Just like what you like, damn.
I’m watching The Vampire Diaries and I don’t give a fuckkkkkkk who knows. It’s pretty good, and gets better as it goes along. The first 4-5 episodes are somewhat anemic and then the show settles into itself and really gets rolling.
It’d not be for everyone but I’m enjoying it — the characters have a lot more depth than you’d expect. It’s like if Twilight were written by someone who knew how to make a story come together.
Why exactly did it come to be assumed that one can only be productive in the morning? My intelligence and motivation is vastly higher between midnight and 4AM. Otherwise in comparison, I’m fairly dull.
I mean, I’m still a fucking beast even at 2PM but in comparison to my far more beastly 2AM self, I lose a lot of shine.
If you want to make it quantitative, I’m quite certain I’d do 10-12 points better on an IQ test at 2AM as contrasted with taking one mid-afternoon.
Other than the fact that a lot of men’s work does not get counted in “labor” (including actual labor at work), women and men have vastly different standards. Neither is right or wrong, but women often compare themselves and their home to impossible ideals and lash out/blame others when those absurdly-high standards are not met.
For instance, if a man has a child that is throwing a fit and refusing to take a bath, most will say, “Guess you’re going to bed dirty” and leave it at that. Women, though, are far more likely to spend two hours battling the child to take a bath.
Which is more likely to lead to better mental health for all? To feeling less tired and resentful?
Whether it’s biological or socialization or a bit of both, women often feel compelled to attempt to achieve the perfectionist impossible while men are ok with, “Eh, good enough for now. No one is dying and we have food.”
It’s no surprise, then, that kids raised by single fathers more often turn out ok but those raised by single mothers face much worse prospects on average1. Excessive neuroticism does not lead to good outcomes — and women are far more neurotic than men. I know, I know, women feel they “have to” be that way. But feeling something doesn’t make it true.
Both evil winter and evil Standard Time are nigh on being gone for a long while.
Good riddance.
I am not in favor of annexing Canada because then we’d have to deal with their massive problems as well as our own.
No thanks.
Also, it’s hugely morally wrong.
