We Are There

This is correct; we are already in WWIII’s beginning phases and we should act like it. There is a certain inevitability to these things. We are making it worse, not better, by not helping Ukraine enough. I don’t completely agree with Kyle but we’re on a path globally that leads to a world-devastating conflict, with very few realistic ways to avoid it.

Our goal now should be to make it the least bad and shortest war possible. Which we in the US are not doing at all, and neither is Europe.

Dom

Whatever you think about Trump, he fucking trounced Harris. He dominated so hard he should go ahead and show up at his next public appearance in latex and with a whip. Damn.

Identity Deformation

How and why do people get their identities so wrapped up in their jobs? I like my job and I’m good at it; I do quality work. But to be perfectly honest, if I lost my job tomorrow it’d be nothing to me. The next day would just be another day, but with more free time.

Yes, it certainly helps to have money but I’m not talking about that. Even people who have adequate emergency funds etc. seem to have their entire character and being deeply enmeshed in their job. And I just can’t understand. I think watching my dad get laid off in the 1980s cured me of that right quick, and at a young age.

Terms

It’s an odd liberal idea that a country can and should absorb an unlimited number of immigrants regardless of the availability of housing, the nation’s current finances, the culture of the incoming populations(s), the availability of jobs and the state of infrastructure.

This seems more like a desire to commit self-harm to me than any actual concern about the immigrants themselves. But the expiation of white guilt is of no interest to me.

Call of the Gay

I’ve been called “gay” (mostly by women, by the way!) for these things:

  • Knowing how to cook.
  • Listening to mostly women artists.
  • Being able to decorate credibly.
  • Knowing by sight who painted or sculpted art in a museum.
  • Liking stage plays.
  • Eating salad.
  • Eating vegetables in general.
  • Knowing the names of movie directors.
  • Having women friends.
  • Reading books.
  • Using a hairbrush.
  • Liking tennis.
  • Liking women’s tennis specifically.
  • Dressing nicely (business goth).
  • Having more than two pairs of shoes.
  • Having a large vocabulary.
  • Knowing the names of more than three colors.
  • Preferring cars that aren’t neutral colors.

And many, many others I am forgetting. Those are just the ones I can recall in a few seconds.

Tractive

My girlfriend has gotten bigger and I donโ€™t know how to bring it up.

Don’t tiptoe around it. There’s absolutely no reason we should kowtow to the Fat Acceptance movement clowns who say it’s wrong to lose attraction to a partner because they start ballooning to the size of Arcturus.

Attraction (contra Gen Z and modern feminism) is natural and so is losing it when someone becomes something through their own will (or lack of it) that you did not sign up for. That women should never be criticized for anything related to their appearance when in a relationship is also insane. Men are afforded no such grace.

So, talk to her about it. If she reacts badly, end it. That’s really all you can do.

Concordance

Anyone who thinks Sinwar was a hero is a scumbag idiot. All of them should go join Hamas and see what happens to them. But it is kind of an odd thing that all of those clowns believe Sinwar was a heroic figure, that Ukraine has no right to exist, and that the US is the greatest evil on the planet.

It doesn’t matter that they are on the left or the right. Horseshoe theory in action. All just utter dipshits. And in fact, the worst combo: the dipshit/useful idiot combination. Execrable.
