@SaysSimulation Your premise is all wrong. Hypergamy is completely natural, found all over nature, and it requires an artificial civilizational system called patriarchy to hold it at bay.

@KirkegaardEmil @ArtemisConsort To some extent, its spread in Africa is probably also overstated because it brings in more foreign aid money

@Evolved_By_THC @ManDaveJobGood The ineffectiveness of other protest methods does nothing to make this one effective, as it clearly was not. There probably is no protest method that could get most Americans to support people who celebrate the rapes, murders and kidnappings of Oct 7.

@ManDaveJobGood Yeah, but that was clear from the moment he did it

@ASFleischman This still seems like an understatement

@19k0011 @JonahDispatch Well let’s say I noticed my roof leaking that morning, and by sheer coincidence someone calls asking if I want to talk about roof repair. It’s STILL a bad idea to go with the cold caller compared with asking my neighbors who they’ve had good experiences with

@notkimberlyno @birdchad88 @FinlanGabe @thetruemoondog @willmenaker Yeah, that’s really the essence of the disagreement here. Having the palette of a 5yo is a problem, and one that anyone so afflicted should be actively working on, in much the same way that people with phobias, stutters or speech impediments do.

@markessien @rickybriantoday @paulg @BraddrofliT That, in essence, is what’s so great about capitalism, and why it works so well. The average person benefits greatly, whether the people at the top care about them or not. It harnesses selfish ambition for the benefit of all

@crunchycozygirl He’s…male?

@realcountlustig @willmenaker I wonder how strongly picky eating correlates with fatherlessness

@birdchad88 @FinlanGabe @thetruemoondog @willmenaker We don’t want them to lie, we want them to grow up and learn to actually like at least the foods that most adults like. No one is going to hold it against you if you don’t like fried chicken livers or green olives. But if you only like chickie nuggies and mac & cheese, grow up

@roboh0b0 @thetruemoondog @willmenaker On the one hand, I appreciate the cheap date, but on the other hand, she’s out of the running for a LTR. I can’t be having that shit passed on to my kids

@30SecondYou @willmenaker It’s hard to even be friends with a picky eater. “Let’s get a bite to eat” “Ok, but I only like 3 things at 2 places” “What are you, 5?”

@EYakoby Deport

@BasedMikeLee Get rid of it. The nickel and dime too.

@SirajAHashmi To be more precise, it’s not even really trans *people* being ridiculed here. It’s gender ideology. The idea that self-conception overrides biological reality to the extent that men can compete in women’s sports without destroying them.

@wanyeburkett The part that impresses me most about this is that there was a record producer who could make the imaginative leap past the REALLY rough edges to see that this had the potential to be a commercial success, and invested in it

@ada_lluch I think we have very different understandings of the word believe. The way you used the word sounds more like suspension of disbelief to me.

@TomlinsonCJ @politico It’s not only the ludicrous cost, it’s the fact that they suddenly couldn’t make payroll.
