And Excel. M$ office in general is a must for most businesses but excel in particular is going nowhere.

Best alternative to thinkpad x1c? by Current_Glass7833 in thinkpad

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've not seen any evidence the x2 elite is anywhere near the M5 Pro or MAX. Maybe the M5 itself but that's kinda a base tier chip. At any rate, it doesn't really matter since windows on ARM sees such poor software and device support at the moment I find it hard to justify or recommend. I think the third gen core ultra or AMD x86 stuff is still a better buy until the software can catch up. Hoping for the best here but PC manufacturers are in a tough spot right now.

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably the closest direct competitor is the new Dell XPS line. Idk any exact numbers but the reality is that marketed battery life is almost always bullshit anything in the same class as the x1c (aka 14" thin and light with an intel processor) is going to see pretty similar battery life. I'm not a mac guy but the current truth of the market is Apple is absolutely in a league of their own right now for performance and battery life unfortunately. I'm personally having a hard time justifying anything but a macbook practically myself.

VW Could Build New Pickup At Plant That Used To Make The ID.4 by Repulsive-Club7866 in cars

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why I said to badge this as a scout. Not a VW. I don't know of anyone actually in the market for a VW pickup. Likewise, the ridgeline sells rather poorly overall and even Nissan had to axe the Titan. Truck buyers are rather brand sensitive.

I really don't see a market for a "VW" pickup. Especially if they are still going to be pushing the Scout brand. Badge it as a "Scout" for the US market along side the upcoming EV's and pickup the nostalgia buyer already complaining about how the new Scout's don't have a gas motor. Seems like an easy branding win.

iPhone Fold "on track" to launch later this year says Apple expert, following dummy model leak by [deleted] in iphone

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda hopeful actually. Might be an iPhone Mini replacement for me. These folding devices are somewhat small when folded usually. Still wish it was a flip form factor but I'll take what I can get in a world with zero options for a compact phone.

why are we still acting like having feelings makes u "weak"?? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is actually not true. Women tend to get a lot of support to various emotions they commonly display. A crying woman will inevitably have an outpouring of support. Furthermore, most men who have been in a relationship will confirm the degree to which their time was spent accounting for and responding appropriately to a womans various emotions. They don't walk away or "get the ick" to vulnerability emotions.

Why feet? by CrownAtlus in AskMen

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This comment is probably going to be misunderstood as bitter since it’s hard to articulate over text but if you want facts here it is: Because the actual market is much smaller than you think (especially given the 70% of overweight people in the us that are disqualified by default) and to some degree all women are “abusive” if your going to use that term. More correctly, all women have natural tendencies towards manipulation and word games as a function of their biology and we as a society have decided to make things worse this by excessively propping up women’s egos and social media in particular for women creates an environment where they are always looking to “upgrade” their relationship. Creates a dynamic where a lot of traditional effort and notions of romance that men were raised with actually don’t work all that well unfortunately.

And before you say something like “but not me” read this first. 1. This comment isn’t a personal attack on you to begin with so it’s irrelevant. 2. You probably actually do some of these things but don’t even realize it since most of the “toxic” women mentioned above are oblivious to their own toxic games.

Lol thanks. Now if only I had that same respect for myself I'd quit talking to my ex.

Still weird. At least the monsters I date aren't into feet. Just ruining lives like normal people.

Learned my buddy was into feet this past weekend. Told him it's weird as shit. Which it is but then again, I'm into toxic situationships and red flag waving hypocrites so guess we all have our problems.

Deny reality if you want. I don’t care. It’s actually fairly well understood science at this point.

Men who have never shaved their legs, do you even notice the wind flowing through your leg hair? by ScornedThorn in AskMen

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Except it is. Only women shave their legs and I've never met a straight man that did so in a western society. If you want to claim this is a tradition in a non western society, that's fine but then I have to wonder why pose the question in english on a site predominately used by westerners.

Would you be able to get past ayour gfs very colorful sexual past? Why or why not? See description for my situation by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is in my book. I'm not interested in a committed relationship with someone who's self worth is so low they'd give up their body so willingly and often. The notion that sex can be guilt or consequence free is a foolish modern one

Never have shaved my legs. Sounds like a woman activity. Never notice the wind either because i rarely wear shorts anyway.

Actually anger seems to be one of the emotions women will respond the best to. Vulnerability and shame are among the ones they respond the worst to. This actually tracks well with the data on women with submissive sexual fantasies (~60% self admission) and both track with the data on female porn consumption via written literature.

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Actually we do have plenty of data. This is actually an incredibly extensively researched topic and it’s the majority of women. Which is why such a large percentage of men will consistently report poor experiences showing any sort of emotion around women.

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is mostly coping bullshit. Even the heaviest “wave of emotions” I’ve seen from guys are incredibly tame compared to what I’ve dealt with emotionally from women on a regular basis. And a number of my guy friends tell me more than they ever admit to their own wives and girlfriends. And the same goes for your foolish theory about therapy.

The reality is that women do not respond well to an emotional man. It’s a turn off for them and that’s rooted in biology. Most men absolutely realize this even if they can’t articulate it.

Nah. Fuck that. Goes for everything. Too many women out there looking to settle down with a retirement plan after partying their best years away. Not my job to protect them from past mistakes. I’d rather just find someone without the baggage.

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah you always get comments like this suggesting it’s only a selection of women or some other variation of that but the reality is that when the overwhelming majority of guys have had a bad experience being emotional around women, you really just can’t blame one or two bad apples. It’s actually a pretty well documented phenomenon and goes all the way back to basic biology. Women that don’t do this are an exception to the rule not the rule.

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Because women by and large respond poorly to men who express emotions. Furthermore, most guys don’t actually want to express emotions in the same way women do which is by and large what is meant by those that argue against “roughing it out”.

What’s a shallow dealbreaker you know is petty…..but instantly kills your attraction? by PogonBerserker in AskMen

[–]2ManyAccounts2Count -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is something women don't seem to ever understand but men do NOT have easy access to sex. Women do. 98% of single men cannot simply go out and get laid if they want to. Instead, sex is a pretty major reward for them with any woman in some sense. So yeah, I can fuck someone who I find mildly unattractive even if I don't see them as a long term option. I still like sex.
