The European Union, as far as I can determine, is a multi-national effort to battery farm third-world migrants and provide them with cradle-to-grave government benefits. It's not surprising that such an enterprise doesn't turn a profit.

A lot of people, men and women, have decided that lifting weights is an illegitimate way to get fit. Other activities, like swimming or rock-climbing, are apparently more legitimate. No one really knows why. Saying you do manual labor has its own drawbacks.

The Human Resources Tyranny needs to be broken. High priority if we ever hope to experience meritocracy ever again.

This is just different focal lengths. They actually did a pretty good job of capturing her. Especially in light of this being a ten year old game.

The ascension of theater kids to positions of power and influence has been an unmitigated disaster for western civilization.

This could just be the result of having women in positions of creative authority. Different psychology.

"I work at a convenience store! And I want you to be my convenience store wife!"

Has anyone tried a membership-based theater? Something akin to Costco, where there's an annual fee high enough to dissuade troublemakers, but low enough such that a middle class family wouldn't find it an obstacle?

Being cruel to you was safe.
Being cruel to a stranger is risky.

He was blowing off a little steam! So what!
He's emotional!

Important to note that they only have five, two of which are trainers. They have been under embargo for spare parts for nearly twenty years. It's amazing that they're still airworthy.

What you're observing is female intrasexual competition, and it explains far more of the modern world than meets the eye.
Young women sabotage each other, old women sabotage young women, ugly women sabotage beautiful women, high status women sabotage low status women.

I'm unconvinced that a single resume or application ever enters the field of view of a human resources commissar. There's really zero purpose to submitting them. Jobs are filled by other means.

Ah yes, SpaceX, the company that plucks super-heavy rocket boosters out of the air with chopsticks, is technically stifled because they can only hire Americans.

You will never, ever convince boomers that they lived through an era of unprecedented opportunity and prosperity. Never. Their egos depend on believing that their personal qualities are the cause of their wealth.
Replying to
Not possible. Their self-esteem requires them to believe that their wealth and success stems from their personal superiority.
They think that they could work in a convenience store for 40 years and end up with a family, million dollar house, boat, etc, because they're so great.

There's really no alternatives to Visa & Mastercard. They control something like 90% of payment processing. Even Steam is small potatoes compared to them. No leverage.

Don't think in absolute terms, think in relative terms. The key thing here was that the woman's economic prospects were even worse than the man's. So she was marrying up, with a man capable of providing her with a life she judged as prosperous.
That's harder to do now.

“you can’t just keep proposing…”
That's where you're wrong, kiddo.

Publicly shaming them will actually work better than dealing with them honestly in private. We bent over backwards for Stripe and it was never good enough. They're just activists masquerading as a payment platform.

No issues with the Asian GF, but did they have to give her more masculine shoulders than Peter?

Ask yourself this Americans. Do you really want a quarter of the planet's rare earth minerals?

This is the pitch being made to young men by the right. I don't know if they'll deliver, but it's a pretty solid pitch.

They hate Japan because it's a safe, orderly, first world nation with cultural unity and self-respect, and it's 98% Japanese.
They subconsciously ask themselves "Why can't we have <public good> like they have in Japan?", don't like the answer, and lash out.
I thought this was just a shitpost at first glance, but you appear to actually be a Bethesda writer. Explains a lot, honestly.

Just stop eating 1151 lbs of avocado toast per month.

It will take him approximately 12 years to process what you meant. It will hit him one day when he's in the shower and his scream of anguish will wake everyone in the neighborhood. You can't be subtle about this sort of thing.

This is what needs to get delivered really soon in order to prevent things from getting ugly. And we're talking really soon. Young men aren't known for their patience or their passivity.

She is thinking of him as a woman. If he were a woman, he could expect sympathy from this post.
She is trying to do something for him, but just doesn't know how and is defaulting to what she would do for a girlfriend who is having a hard time.

Millennials shouldn't view this as something to take pride in. Regardless of who is culpable, a great crime has been inflicted upon Zoomers, and indeed upon our entire civilization.
We have been stagnant for >12 years. Eons of life have been stolen.

Nothing quite like unlocking the next tier of artillery range and watching your guns unload on the bugs, liberating more ground for mining & exploitation.

The only real solution to this problem is precision bombing. Some third-worlder makes a spam call? JDAM.

At this point it's reasonable to assume that any, even somewhat attractive woman has an Onlyfans.

Man this comic has been getting a lot of mileage these days.

You have to laugh at it. It won't go away even when the last Boomer passes on. It's a state of mind. Insecurity and projection.
