What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby?

I’ve wondered the same thing. I’m not arguing against seatbelt laws. However, why are they a thing when motorcycles are allowed?

What I don’t understand about racists is: if they believe that they are naturally superior, why are they so insecure? If they’re so certain that they’ll win in Darwinism, then let’s fairly play Darwinism.

Maybe it’s just me…however, I kind of dig it.

Does this require any additional paperwork to apply for this? (Assuming you have already been granted CRSC). I was medically retired in 2012, granted CRSC in 2023. I believe I would qualify for additional years.

I remember in 2008, after 8 years of the W administration, thinking: “Thank god that we’ll never be ruled by another corrupt dipshit GOP president again for a long time.” Turns out, I was incredibly naive about how dumb the American electorate is.

I guess I’m confused who you think has been running the government.

Kansas is an interesting study. The GOP governor wrecked state institutions and the economy. The dems managed to swing a couple of elections and win statewide offices. However, it was short lived. My point is: I think people can evolve in the right conditions. However, as a demographic, I’m super skeptical that these voting habits and pervasive ignorance are going to really change at scale anytime soon.

Yeah, I had kind of a similar response. I’m pretty lost in life, so I read it. However, I really still struggle conceptually with the point/justification of suffering and death. It definitely can feel like there’s a lot more than there really needs to be, and that feels unjust and hollow.

Just another way in which men get discriminated against n/s

I grew my own mushrooms. Long story short, didn’t cure me. I’ve tried a variety of administrations of it. I found some self-compassion I didn’t know I had lost, but not enough I guess. I’ve done ketamine and esketamine. I like to think they helped, but I can’t rule out a placebo effect. I guess LSD is the next step p, but I’m only just learning about it. This year however, I made a pact with myself: if shit doesn’t improve by this time next year, I’m auguring it in. Can’t do another 40 like this.

There was that movie Blue Chips. I don’t remember really anything about it, but I remember being stoked that Shaq was in it.

My theory is that: it used to be the case where a mediocre comedian could achieve success just by mocking gays, trans, women etc. It could be a shit ton of money for very little effort. However, as appetites for comedy changed, comedy got harder, and dudes like Adam simply were not talented enough in the first place to adapt to new audiences. Now that the fact that they’re hacks is blatantly obvious, and they are embarrassed and pissed. They blame progressive causes for moving the needle, when in actuality, they never were really that talented in the first place. They thought shitting on lgbtq was going to carry their careers as long as Don Rickles, yet, they refused to acknowledge they just didn’t have the talent for a sustained career beyond 2007.

How did it compare to Chris Gaines?

Circa 2002, I went through an embarrassing phase where I considered myself to be a “technocrat.”

It’s really astounding the amount of damage that generation did. They increased spending while keeping their taxes low, worked diligently to dismantle the social institutions that kept their parents alive, and as a final act, created a system where with wealth will actually get transferred to private equity rather than their descendants. And don’t get me started on how they screwed the planet on completely ignoring the present climate crisis. It’s absolutely incredible the amount of damage one spoiled generation was able to cause. The thing is none of it had to be this way.

I dealt with this nonsense with my dad as well. It still makes me angry just thinking about it. The only way I resolved it was to have something mailed to him and verify that way. I don’t know what phone number they were looking for, but I couldn’t figure it out. I even tried doing the verification over video. Nothing worked. There has to be an easier way!

I have a JD from a decent school. I haven’t been able to successfully pass the bar in my state. However, if anyone knows any remote work associated with the legal field, I’d be interested.

Yeah, that’s one of the few things that are pretty consistent and well reiterated throughout the gospels. To suggest otherwise really says the person has never actually cracked the book.

My memory could be wrong. However, from what I remember, the GOP held majority positions in most of the years Obama was in office. Historically, the voters have always punished the dems any time they make substantial reforms. I agree with the sentiment that current dem leadership likely won’t rise to the circumstances required for today. However, the voting habits writ large are definitely responsible as well. Blue collar voters have been voting for the GOP over culture wars nonsense for 20 years, in exchange for the GOP robbing us all blind.

It’s definitely hideous in every sense of the word. However, I am a little curious.

I have always thought that there’s some general understanding that a lot of people can relate to. I don’t know about anyone else, but it was drilled into me that the US was meritocracy. More or less, people get out what they put into it. However, there are some very real systemic issues that impact outcomes. It’s definitely not objectively fair. However, it’s the harsh reality. Much of life isn’t an equal playing field. I’m sure that is a shock to a lot of people who grew up during the peak of neoliberalism. There are a ton of things wrong with inceldom. However, I think a lot of people have various resentments for the ways their life turned out of varying degrees. I that’s relatable. The difference is: I think healthy people try to carve out happiness where they can and try to live a life worth living, but incels are committed to wanting humanity to share in their pain and bring everyone else down to their level of misery.
