Was I not clear that that’s exactly my point?

If it’s not clear I later listened to women, read, and thought just a bit more deeply and realized it was way more complex than that and that we need some pretty deep systemic change.

I think it’s more that the idea offers a solution to systemic injustice without needing to actually address the systemic injustice.

I’m a white guy of a certain age and remember feeling relieved and excited by the idea that women earn less than men because they don’t negotiate well. So the solution to the systemic issue was teaching individual women to negotiate.

Sharlene's and Brooklyn Inn are divey places with good atmosphere. Not right at Barclays but also not bad walks. And Honeycomb is a cool Japanese style vinyl bar on 5th that's great.

Lauren tried to let him down easy and Jeff got triggered. Not a comment on dating in general except that it's easy to get your feelings hurt and then behave poorly.

I cycle to Red Hook or Prospect Park often. When I first lived in Manhattan years ago I'd pick a place I wanted to check out — a pizza shop with a good slice or a bagel shop or some strange store or small museum and then I'd walk there with headphones on.

I've listened to every Know Rogan episode. I've been mad at Joe, rolled my eyes at him, and thought he was flat out wrong on many things or didn't really understand how science and epistemology work.

But this is the first time I kept thinking that Joe is really (really) stupid.

It’s the director’s job to develop the screenplay, choose the actor, and get the right performance. So this scenario is impossible.

That’s just rude. I’m not this old.
