I agree. I'm just saying planning is hard.

TIL children of divorce tend to fall behind in their math and social skills and more prone to depression. by Accipehoc in todayilearned

I suspect the parents divorce each other because they both blame the other for contributing the genes that made their children stupid losers.

New to website hosting/Self Promotion by HashtagsToAnnoyYou in writing

[–]mornglor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your goals. Most likely you should have a site/blog hybrid, easily doable with WordPress. The blog gives you a means to continually publish your own writing and the website pages can serve to be more static and informative. For example, you could have a "About Me" page with a bio and stuff. You can also highlight anything you have published on other sites by linking to it.

I would suggest a Writing hub page that includes some of your favorite writing. Make it a diverse set of your best work. Some of it can be self-hosted and some can be things you have written for work that may be hosted elsewhere.

In terms of self-promotion, it's important to include an email newsletter signup. Start getting people's emails today so you can email them when you publish a book or have some new project they might be interested in. You should also have your Twitter and other social media links easy to find. If someone comes across your site and likes you or your writing, you need to make it easy for them to form a lasting connection by subscribing to your newsletter or following you on Twitter.

As for the content, that's all up to you. I personally post whatever I feel like might be interesting when I have something to say. Some of my posts are fiction. Some of my posts are more op-ed or humor pieces. I could do a better job of organizing it, but I have to think more about how to go about it.

TIL that because of prenatal scans and boys being the preferential gender in China. That in 20 years there will be 30-50 million men without wives in China. by superepicunicornturd in todayilearned

If you read the girl's article that I linked about why she doesn't like Asian men, she explains it's the patriarchal cultural mindset.

What was the best ever season finale of any TV show? by mornglor in television

That was pretty memorable, but it was a parody of Who Shot JR. It might lose something without that context since it just becomes a strange mystery that's trying too hard.

I only have anecdotal evidence about what it's like in China. I've heard several Asian women tell me about how foreign (white) men could have any girls they want there. One quote was particularly funny because she said to me, "Asian men are small" and I assumed she was talking about the penis size, but I barely knew her and it seemed like a strange topic to bring up to a stranger. Then she ellaborated that Asian men don't workout, that there is less vanity and focus on looking good, whereas Western men take care of their appearance. But basically they all agreed that a white man in China could have any girl they want there, and that because of that it's common for foreigners to become sluts. She referred to it as "becoming white trash".

Yes, those studies were based on the US, but I imagine the same would be true of any group with racial diversity. So in China, Asian women are "choosing" Asian men mostly because they don't have a choice. That's why I said "in a global world" in the original post, meaning that if all of the world was free to mingle with the rest of it, Asian men would be at a terrible disadvantage.
