If you dare to unpack “the situation” you might understand more of why women ‘give it up’ or just lay there under societal/individual pressure to be sexually available. And yes, that’s an uncomfortable conversation but likely not in the way you’re imagining

I can't handle the fact that sex is complex and it's ok to need to work on it and figure out what works for both partners

There’s working on it, and trying to flex on Twitter. After-care is working on it. Discussing go/no-gos or dominance roles is working on it. Asking why she’s not invested is working on it.

“You can’t handle me” is a dismissal I have seen used on the ’alphas’ who won’t take a hint that she’s not interested

Edit: Man the downvotes, y'all really are telling on yourselves

Imagine telling on yourself like this lmao

I am so bad at pleasuring my partner that I have only experienced women tolerating me via starfishing

I see no reason to question why these women aren’t more invested in sex with me; clearly she is a lazy pillow princess and not me who is the problem

Also super gross how we’ve normalized/coerced women into “lying back and taking it” instead of asking why shes not active and engaged

Because for the right, the concept of people coming together as a grassroots movement and setting aside some political differences to unite as a group, was unheard of until Tea Party/MAGA.

It’s an implicit admission - how else could ‘those radical lefties/gays/immigrants/etc’ get these crowd sizes except by astroturfing like the right has to?

Let the ‘hog die the graceful end it deserves - in the hearts and memories of ground pounders. The Frogfoots are getting wrecked in Ukraine when they try to do CAS, that mission is over unless you’re splattering goat herders, and even militants have MANPADs now.

Super Tucano is all you need for low intensity/asymmetrical conflict and COIN, otherwise busting tanks is better done by ATGMs and AT mines.

Same. Because if the unions can kill poisonous work demands like ‘crunch time’ and thus cause delays for polish and bug fixes by devs who aren’t sleeping at their desk from exhaustion, we all win

The screwdriver trick is mid imo - you run a major risk of just shearing the filter body wall and now your problem is a leaky oil filter that’s much harder to grasp with other hand tools. Go buy a strap wrench that you can use to install and remove.

Or for the very stubborn filters, these kind of tools are very much a one trick pony that only takes the filter off, but it’s a good trick - it has worked every single time for me.

Europeans can also get guns mailed to their front door, are we just comparing gun laws?

I mean, there’s a lot of context surrounding licensing and pre-approval to get that mail order heater in Europe. Local laws vary, yadda yadda

And if you collect old guns and have a C&R license, you too can get guns delivered to your door in America.

Even one of the hostages who was rescued by the IDF called it out:

As Will Be Seen on TV

An even darker joke was missed here by the creator instead of the analog > digital gag

6. Patent pool

The AR market is not just entertainment, Microsoft has been failing to build a viable AR helmet for soldiers for years now, after the latest-and-greatest fight jets got them.

Professional use too - think of how much simpler and safer ‘realistic’ training could be for deep sea commercial divers or oil rig workers. Live schematic overlays for aircraft technicians at work/in training.

Those are a few of the applications where an absurdly high unit cost/license fee would be gladly swallowed instead by governments or business.

I felt the Fight Club line was pretty clearly tongue i n cheek, but to be clear - I have nothing wrong with self improvement for yourself, with organic rationale.

The grindset lifestyle is super toxic though, and the wellness influencers are just yogis reskinned imo.

The campaign is bigger than one person, as is the party structure though - Pelosi had to be the one to kick out the pillars beneath Biden in order for him to end his run. Nobody in the DNC or the Biden campaign took the keys away from Grandpa until then. Even as an DC outsider who just follows politics, let alone has daily access to Biden, it was apparent that he was mentally declining, and rapidly so in the last two years.

Even before then, it was business as usual. “It’s my turn” got us Trump in 2016 after Hillary stood aside for Obama. “It’s my turn, again” got us Trump in 2024 because Biden/the staff did not court a fresh crop of junior politicians, nor stand aside gracefully in the Primary, nor even permit Harris the conditions to win. She publicly was saddled with no-win scenarios like the border or Gaza, whilst being relied upon to pass legislation in the Senate, becoming the record holder in that role.

And that’s before we even get to how Trump’s court shenanigans were permitted to play out and run down the clock. Biden needs to save his whitewashing of history and self-exoneration for his Presidential Library, his record is clear. Had he actually been a one termed ‘elder statesman’ who passed the torch and prepared the next generation, we wouldn’t be looking at a Republican triple sweep of government.

Self improvement is masturbation. Now self destruction…

The left side is the lifestyles people sell to you in a futile effort to ‘beat the grind set’ required by “line goes up, forever” capitalism.

The right side is min-maxing your output to actualize your rewards in that system, at the cost of your lifespan.

The only winning move is not to play.

Was this truly “the last chance to save democracy” or just another election?

The campaign certainly ran and fundraised off the former messaging, but behaved like the latter.

Life imitates art, once again 🤌

The target was a CEO of a major corporation. And his plan just involved waiting outside the hotel.

Yes, board:investor meetings are publicly advertised. There’s headshots on LinkedIn. But that’s just it - the shooter pre planned to get at the one person, not storming an insurance office and “demanding to see the boss” or ambushing the CEO in his driveway.

Dude was techbro pilled out of his mind. So why not use a 3d printer, if he wasn't a gun nut he wouldn't know the issues his suppressor would cause.

Suppressors are long and heavy, even commercial ones that are well designed. Sneaking that big tube on the bus, subway, on the e-bike, and then just waking around displayed an desire to escape either via an understanding of the NYC shotspotter system or wanting less obvious gunshots. The 3D print speaks to a desire to get away with it forever - otherwise why not just buy a real gun (and the required 4473 background check) that is guaranteed to work?

Because real life isn't an episode of CSI were the criminal thinks of everything but is eventually caught out with this smoking gun piece of evidence.

Except that does happen. Most criminals are pretty dumb, and make obvious mistakes that lead to capture via normal methods. But forensics exist to aid investigations that hit dead ends, or to narrow the search pool of suspects. A fingerprint at the scene would not make an arrest in a PA McDonalds. But a Terry patdown that ‘discovers’ a gun and suppressor, leads to an arrest, leads to thorough personal search, leads to booking, then forensic analysis. Finding the gear on him was instrumental in that McDonalds encounter going from “this guy sus with fake ID?” to “he’s the CEO killer”. Presenting fake ID is a 3rd degree misdemeanor question mark for a beat cop that leads to more scrutiny, not “that’s the killer, look he even has the murder weapon”.

What makes you think he had a plan? an actual plan that is. He was a well educated techbro, just because he could pull the trigger doesn't mean he could handle what comes next. Probably didn't think he would get that far.

He displayed determination to get away, and planned accordingly. Didn’t stand there and magdump into the body, didn’t walk around NYC that morning wearing his face openly, didn’t use real ID, didn’t drive a car anywhere near the city, changed clothing after the murder, went out of his way to use an inferior firearm because it can’t be definitively linked via records, built and hefted a DIY suppressor around NYC public transit, used an RF blocking phone pouch/left his phone behind…

To then be caught days later with everything on him, and a semi-confession note? He couldn’t have found a body of water or hole in the ground to dump anything into? Ditching the backpack in Central Park was odd but burning it that morning was gonna draw attention, as was keeping on his back all day as he left the city. The police shut the bridges, sent out drones, dogs, etc and the shooter got away - dumb fluke? Or pre planned route that avoided known choke points and let him slip away?

I think that for someone who had the determination to:

• Figure out how to access and identify their target (date, time, location, physical appearance)
• Take enough care to avoid immediate detection before and after the fact (Why suppressor that causes jams? Why 3D print vs straw purchase/private sale/4473 @ FFL? Why mask up before and after?)
• Flee the scene and the state before (allegedly) getting “randomly” caught in public with all the gear and then some more, and not some invisible forensic trail like gunshot residue on hands/clothes or a cellphone GPS trail to that morning?

It beggars belief imo. Otherwise why not drop the gun immediately and peacefully wait for the cops at the scene to “say his piece in court”, or die in a police shootout, or a mad spree killing inside the board meeting that the CEO was going to that morning? Why stop at the one killing if you’re throwing your life away? Why NOT dispose/bury/cache the tools and evidence if there was a larger/long term plan?

What if I told you about “80% receivers” and parts kits that have been in use for decades by hobbyists?

• Individuals who make their own firearms may use a 3D printing process or any other process, as long as the firearm is “detectable” as defined in the Gun Control Act. You do not have to add a serial number or register the [privately made firearm] if you are not engaged in the business of making firearms for livelihood or profit.

“80% receivers” are a weird line in the sand to pick between “random hunk of metal/plastic” and “yeah that’s a gun bro” but words have meaning that (still) have to be defined in law, and you can build a 100%* factory looking gun with zero 3D printed parts and no serial number.

*Depends on your skill with tools and machinery ofc, but can be done with a hand drill and a basic file with enough patience

In semi-related news, my Equifax class action check finally came through… all $11 of it.

If you don’t know you have been harmed due to a company’s incompetence/failure, you don’t know you may have standing for suit. I’d also imagine the PR hit and flood of calls to their customer support ’system’ also factored into keeping us in the dark.
