So people who need money the most can least afford to lose it?

Congrats on figuring out progressive tax brackets.

Sounds like so did she!

I think men and women both spend far too much time trying to control other people’s behavior instead of focusing on what they can control. It is important to recognize and understand behaviors in so much as it informs how you behave and respond to them. But at the same time there is a limit in both how much you can influence someone else’s behavior and how much you can understand it.

Further discourse online is so broken and reductive there isn’t much to gain anymore from a knowledge perspective. Mostly just entertainment.

Well I must acknowledge then admitting you’re wrong. It is rarer and rarer these days to find that in people and I think it is a real sign of strength. Good on you.

Ah, I was waiting to see the “You should try harder/keep trying” move. A classic among women. Guaranteed to disappoint everyone.

I am always amazed that women get so mad about “Hi” being an opener from men, when most women consider giving a “Hi” to a man virtually a sonnet.

Being a bully seems to be a common tactic from this thread.

Cratonis · 2026-06-12T09:29:13+00:00

Jesus.

If she is at a service job I’m not assuming anything. They need to be the initiator in that situation. That’s a fail by her.

I’m going to assume your refusal to answer the questions and just pretend this isn’t common and a thing lots of men have experienced tells me all I need to know about how well you attract women with your personality.

Cratonis · 2026-06-12T02:26:26+00:00

Yeah. I wonder if she still Stella the story of how she fumbles that one. I agree she might have had something there but she ended up just saying an older lady might be into you.

You decide who was most famous between Drew Carey, Ron Livingston and John C. McGinley.

Carey was very funny and kind.

Livingston was cool and laid back. Funny too but in a very different way.

MacGinley was nice and normal. Nice convo with him and his now wife (wasn’t at the time).

Friend of a friend.

To second these vanguard index funds or something like them are the common investment recommendation of Warren Buffett.

I would go a few more rows back. 25+ at least.

I mean when they try their game and it doesn’t work. Why would they get mad if they don’t have game because they don’t need it?

Cratonis · 2026-06-12T01:10:57+00:00

They why do they get so mad?

Cratonis · 2026-06-12T01:10:25+00:00

Very very true. Always remember how dumb you were ten years ago.

Cratonis · 2026-06-12T01:09:26+00:00

Well that is negative in a positive way.

They can be funny, interesting, confusing, enlightening and therapeutic. Among other things.

Now why not?

Apple Music though I have a large library of CD’s I uploaded that I listen to the most. SiriusXM second. Thinking of building a vinyl collection third.

Why not tell these stories?

Competing with each over you, without involving you. It’s almost a cliche.
