  • I don’t know about the ‘so shallow’, that walks pretty boldly into incel speak generalizations. The part about the imbalance of likes rings true though. At one point an app I ventured onto had thought it was a good idea to make a visible marker on a profile of how many people liked them.

    So as I’m going along it happened to try and match me with someone I know. So I messaged her for a laugh about it, and she said she had just joined a couple weeks back, boredom or some such. In the couple months I was there got something like a dozen requests, all from women in India or Phillipines, my guess they were hired by the company to help keep guys on since it was a fairly small place.

    She on the other hand had a couple hundred already. Now admittedly she’s plenty attractive, so that helps of course, but the number difference is crazy. At that point there needs to be some fast-call rejections to just have some reasonable number to look at in depth.




  • Learn a lesson from progressives, it’s been almost 20 years since we’ve been happy about a presidential election. That’s never made us stop voting, it’s never stopped us from working on the next election, and it sure as shit hasn’t stopped any of us from complaining.

    At this point I hardly know what title to apply to who any longer, but for a large part those claiming the title of progressives where the loudest bunch clamoring to vote third party or stay home.

    I consider myself lower-midfle class, not poor, certainly not rich. I vote to support school levies and public good works. I say tax the hell out of the ultra rich. Take a major chunk of our military budget and put it to Medicare and free college. All the same kinds of things these progressives ask for.

    Yet when I say Kamela is the best realistic choice out there in this election it gets people all worked up saying I’m not better than some red hat looking to do evil in the world.

    Why? This country is simply not going to turn into something resembling a Scandinavian semi-socialist country in one fell swoop.
