He's either a shameless liar




Consider he's the same person who publicly argued in spring 2020 that masks don't do anything while he privately stockpiled masks for his family.

Asian women hunt for white men like a tiger hunts for deer.




Alas, my single days were spent in places with a miniscule amount of Asians so I didn't get to fully experience this.




The average white man is obviously defenseless against such a pursuit, leading to an above average number of WMAF pairings in Asian heavy population centers like the SF Bay Area and LA.




While hiking the John Muir Trail this summer, I was greatly amused by the number of WMAF couples I saw. Most common pairing in couples was white-white unsurprisingly, but WMAF was by far the second-most common. I saw more of those couples in 12 days than I saw black people, and I don't mean black couples--I mean black people at all.

There is definitely a correlation between the ratio of men to women at US colleges and its sexual culture. And the mechanism is pretty intuitive.




As an old fart who went to undergrad at a school that was 55:45 male:female (and of course women were almost mythical in STEM classes), I can hardly imagine what life is like at modern US universities with 60:40 female:male ratios.

It's possible I read the third book and simply don't remember, but plot summaries online aren't ringing a bell. I just know I reached a point where the only character I kinda liked/was interested to follow was Achamian and the point of the novels seemed to be shitting on him as much as possible, so I finally had enough.

But the supply of men who can dish out the right amount of dominance without scratching the proverbial mirror is severely constrained. Even if the surveys are wrong and there are as many dom men as sub women, in practice there are fewer: some end up with criminal records, some have massive superegos that don't let them express themselves.

If only that meme were accurate. Too many women I've met want an amount of dominance they want is squarely within the DV zone. Of course, ideally it should be coming from a tall, white guy with a finance job who is willing to risk a DV conviction to satisfy her, not a Hispanic guy with face tattoos who has been to prison twice and has 5 kids by 3 women.

FBI knew about him but was distracted or whatever.




Yeah... or whatever. Say, was there ever a follow-up on that whole "Buffalo shooter was a group chat with a 'retired' FBI agent" thing? No?

very close to a plot device + philosophical exploration than a real character




Agreed, and that's why 2 books was enough for me. I don't think I even started the third.

When Democrats try to be competitive in battleground or light-red districts, gun control is the first issue thrown out the window.




Until they win, and then it comes roaring back. See Virginia for the most recent example.

Well, it certainly wasn't a miracle shot,




I wonder how many people calling it a miracle shot (or something similar) have been to Dealey Plaza. I haven't been, but multiple people I've talked to who have been have uniformly commented that the distance of the shot is far, far shorter than TV would lead one to believe.

I feel guilty about this.




I'm going to go ahead and doubt this, but you could always give 100k to a charity you find deserving. Anyway, congrats and I'll do my best to not plot murder while I'm at my shitty public defender job tomorrow.

If male sexual consent were real, then it would seem rather odd that the State would be willing to give custody of a child to a rapist and make the victim pay child support. I've certainly never heard of it happening where the male rapist gets custody of the child and then gets child support payments from the female.


Female victims also have the ability to get an abortion and avoid the whole problem, which a male victim does not.

Mainstream society proves yet again that male sexual consent is a fiction that not even the consent-oriented progressives believe




Of course it's a fiction. This is how there are men with child support orders from getting an over-18 woman pregnant when they were under 18.

If you're a baseball person, who are you rooting for in the World Series?


I don't have a team (growing up hours and hours from the closest city with a team will do that), so my preference is always for the team that hasn't won before. Since neither the Brewers nor Rays have won before, I'm leaning Brewers since they've been around longer without a win. Also, I've always had an irrational soft spot for teams with names related to an industry their city used to be famous for (Brewers, Steelers, Packers, the Supersonics back when they existed, etc.). Either way, seeing two smaller payroll teams get to the Series is cool.


Game 1 was excellent. I hope the rest of the Series follows suit.

That's because the standard is "it's good when victims (as defined by progressive rules) share their stories."


Women are victims of white men (and men in a fraternity are white men for these purposes even if some of the Cornell ones aren't white), so it's good that women share their stories of being victims. However, immigrants/refugees are victims of the West, so it's their stories that need to be shared, not those of any people (even if women) that the immigrants victimize.


If someone subscribes to progressive victimology, then there is no lens that will change this interpretation.

I really don't understand why there are so few movies that pass the bechdel test




Movie that passes and always amuses me that it does: Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle (when two girls have a shitting competition, which ties neatly into the concurrent conversation on that topic).

Yes, I'm aware, but I had long lost interest by the time that happened. When I started reading them (shortly after book 9's release, I think), I was under the impression it was supposed to be a 10-book series. Not sure if it was marketed that way, or if I mistakenly assumed it, or what, but that was my belief. When I finished all those (and boy were some of those later ones bad), I was dubious it was going to happen. I read book 10 and saw no end in sight (and hated all the characters by then), so I cut my losses and stopped paying any attention.

That's true, and I imagine it's a big factor on why modern big publishing has gone to crap. But as someone who is happy to read old problematic books or self-published new problematic books and has no desire to publish anything outside of an anonymous racist substack (it's a joke, see Donald Boat tweet), her complaints are just noise on the internet that I don't have to care about.
