- Comment on Anon can't find a good match 4 weeks ago:
Is it possible? Dude rejected a woman for having “a blown up vagina” and taking “too much birth control”… Those aren’t real things and they’re a good sign that OP has some real incel mentality. It’s quite possible he’s being an ass then when his partner reacts emotionally he says “cluster b, blown up vagina, too much birth control” and leaves.

- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 month ago:
A lot of the responses are correct, but there is one aspect being missed.
Liberals don’t NEED to hate conservatives. There are real problems in the world that the left is trying to remedy.
Conservatives NEED to hate the left. Modern conservatism (and some would argue all conservatism) doesn’t have any moral ideology. There is nothing they’re fighting to for. Conservative ideology is the idea that there is a group that the law should protect but not bind and a group that the law should bind but not protect. To push this, an out-group has to be created and hate is the only way to dehumanize someone enough to treat them the way conservatives treat women, minorities, LGBTQ+ etc…
Conservatives hate Liberals because conservatism doesn’t work without hate. They hate because they NEED to.

If dying of dehydration try to find an elephant. There are often drips of water in leftover in their trunks. Elephants don’t mind sharing and are often grateful have a dry trunk as it avoids trunkrot.
- Comment on Brexit’s Lasting Damage Is Looking Inescapable 3 months ago:
Hating the rich is like hating murderers, it’s not a feeling you should hide in polite company like racism. Every minute of their breathing lives they choose to take more from society than they give back. That’s how these dragons of modern times create their unimaginable hoards. No knight in stories of old hid their desire to slay the foul beasts, because doing so is always virtuous and worthy of praise.

Oh my god, it’s even worse when you zoom out. We’ll never catch up to the trend lines set by the years of unsustainable growth before the recessions in the 70’s. Oh the permanent damage we caused. It’s an absolute tragedy that after a recession we never get back to the trend line that was set by the bubble before it burst. I’m not patient enough for the slow and steady fundamental growth of humanity through time, I want continuous fast exponential growth so the shareholders can he happy all the time!

If your extrapolate a line during the run up to ANY recession you’ll create a line that never gets hit again. Your extrapolation theory reminds me of this Trump “extrapolating” a hurricane path

Speeding cameras are revenue generating equipment, not safety equipment.
Roads are engineered to be comfortably driven at a certain speed. When legislators put a lower speed limit on these roads it creates a safety hazard and a moral hazard. If you want people to drive slower, you have to modify the road to lower it’s design speed. These modifications (lane narrowing, for example) are a safety tool, not the speeding camera.
I’ve never met anyone who thought these cameras were safety equipment!
- Comment on How to remove smell from lunch box? 6 months ago:
Yeah. The acid in the vinegar is what gives it cleaning power. The base in the baking soda gives it cleaning power. They each will clean different things. When you mix them you get an acid base reaction which makes water, co2, and a salt. None of those have good cleaning properties in that situation.

Baking soda works, vinegar works. When you mix them together it’s just salty water. It does nothing.
- Comment on The Difficulty Paradox 7 months ago:
I think an ideal game starts easy then ramps up the difficultly. At this point you gain abilities that make the game easier and make you feel more powerful. Then the difficulty increases again at the end for the final challenge portion, that way you as a player feel like your have to master your new found abilities.
Like going over a big hill then when you get to the valley on the other side you have to climb a mountain.
- Comment on Remember when this was on TV every year? 7 months ago:
I don’t know if this is a joke or not but Nietzsche’s whole effort was spent on defining and opposing nihilism, not creating and advocating for it.
He realised that God (the philosophical entity which guarantees meaning) is dead and knew that God was a tool used to combat nihilism. He was afraid that at the time nihilism was seen as the only alternative to belief in God. He spent his whole life trying to establish the virtues that were required (the ubermensch) in order to lead a meaningful life when there is no guarantee that the world itself had a meaning.
The Wikipedia article covers this topic well en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche
The death of God may lead beyond bare perspectivism to outright nihilism, the belief that nothing has any inherent importance and that life lacks purpose. While Nietzsche rejected the traditional Christian morality and theology, he also rejected the nihilism which many thought was the only alternative to it.

The group that openly attacked Israel in order to provoke a disproportionate response is happy that their plan is working perfectly? You don’t say.
Shame on Hamas and shame on Bibi both. Only innocent civilians lose.

- Comment on why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread? 10 months ago:
I don’t know why you’re saying that or what kind of bidet you’re using. I’ve used a bidet for a long time:
- Poop
- Spray until clean
- Dry with toilet paper or a towel
95% of the time you don’t have anything but water on the TP.

I think it’s a tragedy of the commons type scenario. If they all act together and force everyone back to the office, then the real estate will be used and have value. If they all don’t then all the real estate becomes worthless.
You’re right though, each of them individually could sell the property, or lease it and come out ahead. As soon as that starts though, it becomes a game of hot potato, who holds the buildings when they lose their value?

Society, in general, and through the lens of popular media, doesn’t think men are, or should be whole people. In general, women in media are often insecure, afraid, and act irrationally and emotionally because of past trauma. These traits are often part of a good person or a main character. Even horny thoughts can be part of “good guys” when they’re women. Girls and women can oogle attractive men on screen and make comments without it being a character flaw.
Men on the other hand are stoic and in control of their emotions and themselves. Losing control of temper, lashing out physically or emotionally as a male character is permitted mostly as a failure in a “failure and redemption” arc, or as a primary characteristic of a bad guy.
Fear, insecurity and trauma are often even unacceptable for villains to exhibit, let alone good guys. Horny thoughts are COMPLETELY unacceptable, and only the sleaziest of bad guys or minions will express any. Men should be attracted to the person’s mind only, not their body.
When good guys share their feelings, it’s often a story about a past trauma (daughter died, father never proud) where the emotional consequences are barely expressed in their day to day actions. At this point they’re permitted to shed a single tear, to show they’re deep and emotional. That’s generally what people expect when they ask a guy to share their emotions, a simple narrative that doesn’t affect most of day to day life, a VERY restrained display of emotions, then back to stoic male.
Anything more is permitted only for children and women.
I don’t believe it’s a conspiracy against men. I mostly understand where most of these tropes came from. For example it used to be that men on screen expressed horny thoughts and oogled women. However it was often from a perspective where the women had no agency and were completely objectified. This objectification of women was also present in society. Punishing men who objectify women and praising men who don’t was a big part of the change required from society by women’s liberation, entry into the workforce and feminism as a whole. Female characters expressing horny thoughts or oogling men is part of showing more compete female agency since sexuality is such a huge part of the human mindset. Nothing here is a conspiracy against men.
We’re at a good point in history to start showing that men can be whole and complete persons on screen and in real life. And I hope we start seeing it.

That’s true for small to medium-sized companies. For large and very large companies, you should consider than many OWN A LOT OF THEIR OFFICE REAL ESTATE, internationally, often in the billions of dollars worth. A large chunk of their assets are in the office buildings they own, and if they become worthless the company stands to lose a lot. Not to mention that they will often borrow against the value of the buildings, and as a collateral if the value drops significantly the banks might decide that they have to pay back the excess portion of their loan immediately or put up more collateral (margin call).
