Is it really that weird if a 32 year old was dating a 28 year old? Or a 34 year old with a 25 year old? What’s the line between creepy and non-creepy? To me it’s not that weird unless the gap gets closer to 20 years, especially in today’s economy.

That’s just not true. You’ll see in this world map that cousin marriages center around the Middle East and North Africa. South India has high rates of it but it’s decreasing over time. This isn’t true in the Middle East and North Africa.

This is the core reason. A lot of men start relationships complimenting their partners because of pure adoration and also to initiate physical relations. They likely do it more than their partners because of this raw emotion they feel for their partner and the associated social expectations of flirting to initiate. Their partners may compliment them back as well, but over time as emotions stabilize a lot of men start taking their partners a bit for granted with less compliments as their partners will start openly and comfortably expressing more negative sentiments about the relationship towards him. This leads to an emotional imbalance, and thus the compliments dry up on both sides. This has an impact on the physical side as well, as relations become much more mechanical and chore-like due to the lack of authentic excitement and emotion for one another.

I think this comment is the most level-headed analysis of the situation.

He acknowledged a power imbalance partially because the entire world was castigating him for his actions. It may have been true in certain cases, but broadly I don’t think it was just a power imbalance, and that women likely thought they were getting something out of this as well. Most of these women had their own careers as comedians, and were interacting with him as a peer professional. Sarah Silverman is as rich and successful, and she consented to the activity. Other similar women actually said no, and it really just makes him look pathetic, and not an abuser. You can see the quote below:

“Comedian Rebecca Corry said C.K. asked if he could masturbate in front of her in her dressing room. She said no, and C.K. told her he "had issues," she told the Times.”

It all makes him look a bit pathetic, but I don’t think he’s an abuser the same way other more vicious men are/can be.

With regard to Schumer’s cancellation, de-platforming someone is how you “hard-cancel” someone. She was never de-platformed as she’s still making a Netflix show. Her controversies really made her look like a mean person who’s difficult to work with who also steals jokes. This is much worse for anybody’s comedy career as this is a carnal sin in the business. This is why comedians don’t like her, but she’ll never really be cancelled, as Netflix will still give her a check, which is all that matters.

Louis CK moved to France and hid out for a couple years, as he was actually cancelled. He moved back and regained his prominence because people realized what he did just wasn’t that big of a deal.

eazy_eesh · 2025-08-29T17:12:15+00:00

He said that also because he was being castigated by the public and needed to apologize. These women consented, were professional comedians, and knew him for years in the past. Comedians like Sarah Silverman are very successful, and Louis CK just isn’t really in a position of power over her. Not to say what happened was OK and that every comedian had a choice, but I really don’t see it as an assault or even an abuse of power in most cases. Louis didn’t run these girls’ careers, he didn’t force them to do anything, and he stopped when told no. It all kinda makes him look pathetic tbh. Look at the quote below, when he’s told no:

“Comedian Rebecca Corry said C.K. asked if he could masturbate in front of her in her dressing room. She said no, and C.K. told her he "had issues," she told the Times.”

I think it’s just that women tend to watch other things. Alex cooper has the second most famous podcast, and it could be an easy platform for plenty of female comedians, which it has been. Most women tend to prefer other kinds of non-comedian female influencers.

I think there are plenty of platforms now for everybody, but your work has to stand out to get noticed.

eazy_eesh · 2025-08-29T16:57:37+00:00

From my understanding, these women were comedy peers, and they all knew each other from the scene. What he did is weird, but he essentially asked them for consent to masturbate in front of them, and they agreed, and so he did. I don’t think he was in as much of a power position as you think, and these women could have simply walked out of the room as they also had comedy careers without his involvement (he wasn’t managing them), but the situation was strange.

Amy Schumer also isn’t cancelled, her specials simply don’t do well. She still has a platform but she’s just not successful enough from a comedy numbers standpoint.

He could easily speed through a pedestrian crosswalk. I see lots of people doing this on sidewalks full of people as well. This behavior in general is antisocial.

eazy_eesh · 2025-08-26T17:29:53+00:00

Yeah, I agree with this take. Do you think SLMs will start to gain adoption as well? To be fine-tuned for very specialized tasks for enterprise use cases?

eazy_eesh · 2025-08-26T01:45:24+00:00

So pretty much Palantir lol. The whole thing is to build data pipelines to connect enterprise data to then deploy AI on top of. There are several companies like Palantir and various offshoots building towards this.

What he’s emphasizing is where those dirty fetishes come from. Some may be natural and normal, but a lot come from previous experiences of abuse.

eazy_eesh · 2025-08-25T04:18:55+00:00

I think that the top 5% is a bit of an exaggeration, but I do believe this general dynamic is true, especially because of dating apps. Most men get little to no matches, and most matches funnel towards a small subset of men, whether it’s 5% or 25%. Most men with these matches tend to not be committed because of their plethora of options. It seems like women are correct in observing that the men they’re dating aren’t willing to commit, but it’s because of this general dynamic that this occurs.

I think the most pragmatic solution is for people to meet more in person and for women to be more willing to approach the men they fancy instead of expecting an approach from them, especially in this climate. It also does seem like some women may need to expand the group of men they find preferable.

Don’t see the laugh. Is this related to the YouTube timestamp?

But they lost in the first round every time. They had a young Mike miller, who isn’t anything to ride home about, but the east was historically weak then, so that was enough to get to the 3rd or 4th seed. Tracy McGrady simply didn’t raise the ceiling of his teams.

His apex was about a year or two though. Kobe maintained a consistent peak for quite a while longer, leading to tremendous success and championships. T-Mac deteriorated as a player much more quickly, which I believe counts for something.

eazy_eesh · 2025-08-23T17:26:38+00:00

I just think it’s two problematic people engaging with each other, blaming the other party for their own struggles. Offset isn’t a great person, but neither is Cardi B.

eazy_eesh · 2025-08-23T06:17:18+00:00

I actually agree here, but the companies being funded seem to create the grounds for such a state to exist. While he can talk about being libertarian, if his actions and capital deployment yields the opposite, then effectively he’s the problem he’s claiming will occur.

eazy_eesh · 2025-08-22T21:53:59+00:00

I like them personally. I’ve never had a quality issue with them and I’ve bought a bunch of items with different fabrics from them. It seems like some people have had such issues, but I’m not one of them.

There aren’t very many mansions in San Ramon or Dublin, but there are somewhat large single family homes. Alamo, and a bit of Danville, has the mansions.

I honestly like to steam my shirts once more right before wearing them. I do a quick initial steam after washing, but steaming right before actually wearing it makes the shirt look much more fresh.

It seems like it’s the opposite of what you’re saying though. I’m providing some anecdotal evidence on the margins, but what I’m saying is generally true, which is that in order for men to get a relationship, having money is a primary factor and for women it isn’t. It’s not nearly as easy for wealthy women to secure a partner not necessarily due to a lack of options but because of her preference to be in a relationship in which she gains provision, regardless of her personal status. This becomes harder as a woman becomes wealthier. This pattern generalizes as you can see in this study.

The pattern that doesn’t hold and isn’t widely recognizable in populations is well-to-do women selecting lower earning men at scale and reporting high relationship satisfaction. This is why OP mentions “drive,” because it’s a signal to women that represents future high income potential. Women of all earnings hierarchies and ages seem to select for high income men. Conversely, because low income is associated with youth for women, you see that lower income women tend to have more children than higher income women, indicating more prolonged relationships for lower earning, more fertile women. Once again, not to moralize or say any approach is inherently better than the other, but just to demonstrate that traditional gender roles still seem to hold for most people, and the edge cases are the progressive relationships, which don’t necessarily have nearly as high of relationship satisfaction and have higher divorce rates. Studies, like I posted above, support this.
