Traditionally, men have been taught that to get married or have a partner, they need to be the breadwinner. This is partly due to women not having the right to own property, have a bank account, or credit cards until the 1960s/1970s. This means that there is a subset of men raised to believe having a job makes them an attractive partner, and that’s the only thing they need to be an attractive partner.
Women on the other hand, have been entering the workforce, and the pay gap has narrowed. Now women make on average $0.85 to every dollar a man makes. Women can be and are financially independent. So now, as a man or potential partner, you have to bring more to the table than having a job.
I think this has led to the incel crisis. You have a subset of men that are emotionally stunted because they were not taught better; while women have a the peace and security that independence brings and they aren’t going to disrupt that for just anyone.

Charle’s and Boyle’s gas laws. PV = nRT. As the temperature rises it creates a sudden increase in the volume and pressure of the immediate air. The increase pressure and volume in a closed room forces the fan blades to turn.

Be VERY careful about accepted ANY used furniture. This is a good way to get yourself a bedbug infestation. Bedbugs are insidious and can hide in tiny little cracks in furniture, even if there is no upholstery. If you’re going to get used furniture, dust it with diatomaceous earth. Put that shit in every crack you can find. If there is any cloth/upholstery, put a layer on all the cloth. Then when you have the furniture in place, put a circle of diatomaceous earth around each leg of furniture. (Do not put the furniture up against the wall, pull it about a half inch away from the wall.) If bed bugs attempt to emerge and crawl away, they will be dehydrated and die as they walk through the diatomaceous earth. Trust me when I say, you do not want those fuckers in your house. They are incredibly hard to eradicate once there is an infestation.

- Comment on Anon likes pizza 1 week ago:
I live in New York state. I can get a $3.00 bag of flour that will net me about 20 cups of flour. I buy individual onions, and an individual onion might cost close to $1. Mozzarella cheese is close to $4 a brick (16 ounces) and I used half for my recipe. A bulb of garlic cost $1, usually 8 good sized cloves in one bulb. (If I can shop at my local Asian market instead of the normal grocery store, I can get like 3 bulbs of garlic for $1.) 8 ounce can of tomato paste for $1. Store brand yeast cost $1 and come as a 3 pack. Spices cost quite a bit when you purchase a brand new bottle, but you can make many meals with your bottle of spice. Not sure if I under or over estimated on the spices.
I purchase large quantities of store brand ingredients where ever possible, and the supplies I buy will make more than 1 pizza. I attempted to break down the cost per pizza, based on the quantity of ingredients I use in my recipe.

Cost of store brand premade pizza: $6-8, 15 minutes cook time, versus Cost of homemade pizza:
$2.00 for half block of store brand mozzarella cheese (Pre-shredded cheese has additives in it to keep it from clumping.) 1/2 onion - $0.50 2 cloves garlic $0.25 4 ounces tomato paste $0.50 Dry basil, oregano, bay leaf, parsley, paprika $0.10 2 cups flour $0.30 Packet of yeast $0.30
Total cost of ingredients: $4.45 Ingredient wise, I’m saving $1 - 4.
The real cost is time. Prep time/clean time: Making dough, chopping veg, making sauce, shredding cheese, bake time, and washing dishes, is 2.5 hours (My hourly wage is $28) so that’s a $70 cost in terms of time. That cost will be variable depending on a person’s hourly wage. Looks like premade, frozen, store brand gets you the best bang for the buck.

100 m = 100 meters = 0.1 kilometers. Miles is abbreviated mi, as in 100 mi. I’m disappointed in you, The Picard Maneuver. Your jokes, shitposts, and memes are usually so much better than this. Are you ok?

This was not the case for Nintendo consoles in the past. I imported plenty of NES, SNES, GC, GB, GBA, and DS carts that were published in Asia/Europe, but not published in the Americas, and had no issues playing them until the Wii. Those consoles I just mentioned were all region free.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 4 weeks ago:
The Wii made me absolutely rage because those consoles were region locked, preventing me from playing titles I had imported from other countries that weren’t published by Nintendo north America. I never spent money on Nintendo products after that. The rest of my family was still happy with Nintendo, and they have continued to purchase their consoles. I finally got my wife invested in PC gaming 2 years ago, and it warmed my bitter heart to hear she wanted a steam deck instead of the switch 2.

- Comment on Arc raiders is a horrible game 5 weeks ago:
No. Even after taking friendly actions over, and over, and over, the matchmaking system will eventually match you with people that PvP. This game is rust lite. I soloed a bombadier, started looting, and heard someone walking up. Said don’t shoot, I can share this loot with you, and the guy killed my anyway. Best guns and gun mods gone. Begin grinding for new materials to craft new guns, mods, and level them up.
