The economy is the money/capital not the number of business

That says nothing about the amount of money passing through public companies.

Political donations suck, but the real issue is the absolute fiduciary duty of company runners.

Publicly traded corporations are the system that is the most problematic. they comprise the entirety of the stock market and the majority of the economy.

The fact that some guy running a hedge fund out of some economic center in a major city elects a c-suite who will actively harm people in any given locality America by dumping pollutants, tying up water rights, raising prices without a corresponding cost for production, or whatever other unethical business practice you want to fill the blank in with, just because it marginally increases profits is the problem. That hedge fund manager is actually required to do that or he will be fired, sued, or held criminally liable.

Greed is the primary motivating factor in this country and it is killing us.

We are talking about a specific issue between a certain type of man and that is being complained of by a certain type of woman.

The issue is between straight men and women. I could add several qualifiers (we aren’t talking about metro sexual rakes for instance), but I think most people are aware of the type of men that fall into the categories we are discussing.

I was pointing out that any one can do what I did. A data point of one doesn’t mean much, sure. But unless a person has some disability they should be able to take a decent picture of themselves. We’ve had good digital cameras in our pockets for over a decade, it’s your own fault if you don’t learn how to use it.

What does fertility rate have to do with relationships? Sounds like a conservative/ incel talking point to me.

Apps and the algorithms suck for a lot of reasons, but they aren’t going away and we have to adapt.

Those are excuses. I took selfies and found my girlfriend of two years on a dating app. I learned how to pose myself and present a good image. One of the pictures is a major factor in why she started talking to me in the first place. My expression and eyes were what she liked.

I have body image issues, I had no one to help me, I have depression and anxiety, and I got it done. No one is asking men to move the earth. Women are just asking for them to give it a try and show that they give a shit.

It’s not culture wars, it’s men failing to even try a little bit to even look interested.

Because they are loud, and reasonable people are not. When the reasonable people get loud they shut up when reasonable critiques are made. At some point the reasonable people have to become unreasonable (by degree) so they can be heard.

It’s that men don’t take a lot of pictures of themselves. Then they refuse to take any specifically for their dating profiles. Taking pictures specifically for a dating profile would show that they actually care about finding a person they would do other things specifically for.

I remember going through Roe v. Wade in law school and thinking how shaky the legal foundation was. This is a great case study of why we need to formally adopt laws in congress and not just rely on the whims of the court.

There are fewer verbs than nouns I’m sure our brains prioritize accordingly

There is a long rabbinic tradition of arguing with each other and god. Look up The Oven of Akhnai

“May be” is the point.

From the Forbes article you cite:

“KEY QUOTE

‘It’s important to emphasize that these findings are observational, and they provide insights into patterns within our dataset. However, they do not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship,’ lead author Dr. Anees Bahji, at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine, told Forbes.”

Drinking anything other than water, breathing anything other than air, and eating just about anything have been shown in some study somewhere to be harmful in someway.

All the politicians are in it for their own personal gain. They use the aesthetic of whatever of whatever ideology has the most support in their local area.

The government should not be efficient. The faster it moves the faster it can oppress.

I have no issue with the Warriors description. His name is literally bad Mario and he is yellow.

Because I don’t want to pay $20 and spend 2 and a half hours to decide whether I wanted to spend $20 and two and a half hours on that thing.

Reviews exist to help people decide. Of course they won’t be exactly my opinion, but they can tell me whether the experience will be worth my time and money. Or at least if the movie contains stuff that I definitely wouldn’t want to see.

How do I use my own opinion about a movie that I have not seen to decide whether I will enjoy the movie or not?

A “meth whore” is a prostitute who accepts meth as payment for sex. I am not assessing the John’s perception of the prostitution’s attractiveness, but the prostitutes perception of their own attractiveness as per the rest of the post. The prostitution by necessity must believe that they possess some quality that is worth buying. Surely a willingness to have sex with whomever is willing to pay is part of that, but attractiveness is one of the core components of sexual desirability. I find it hard to believe that meth whores do not believe that they are perceived as attractive.

Never heard of meth whores?

That may be true for regional us dialects, but the core of American pronunciation is older than Received Pronunciation
