  1. Really nice presentation.
  2. LOL. Someone seems to have woken up to a lump of coal in their stocking. Or maybe parts of the discussion just hit a little too close to home. Either way. Merry Xmas!
  3. Belated TDay spread for posterity. May you have a Merry Christmas Surly food board posters.
  4. Warming up the oven. Xmas duties fall to others this year, except for this breakfast casserole situation and homemade cinnamon rolls my wife and I made last night (mostly she made).
  5. Gift giving at Christmas (Santa Claus bringing gifts in the night) is literally rooted in St. Nicholas rescuing underage girls from child exploitation.
  6. Agree, have always existed. Do you think the prevalence among boys in the birth cohorts we are talking about has changed and is much higher than in prior gens? Or is that a perception change among us based on other factors? Certainly the ecosystems you mention are one huge aspect that "communitize" these maladapteds. I think it's some stew of all of the factors discussed in the thread above, but if there is one common thread to these factors that is acting as a societal promoter/accelerator it would seem to be the online orientation.
  7. How much correlation with the kids being discussed here and having their brains saturated in devices and social media and rampant easily available porn (just naming a few factors for consideration) during formative development years. Yeah, not really surprising when you put that all up in the psychological development shaker you are going to have a good number of maladapted boys come out the other side. Limited social skills, unhealthy relationship expectations of women, creeper behavior. Certainly there are lots of upbringing scenarios that can lead to the maladapted behaviors being discussed, but we sure flooded the pool with some of the factors mentioned above for the birth cohorts being discussed here.
  8. Absolutely suggest this. Although maybe not the “any” part tbh.
  9. Interesting thread and discussion here.
  10. Wut?
  11. Eesh. I sincerely hope that you are able to seek help.
  12. Why you @ing me with strawman shit on a friday night. Some of you have real psychological problems.
  13. Jk. Love me some chili and tamales. I just made a batch of tamales the other day and am about to cook up a tamale omelette for breakfast.
  14. Try ranch dressing.
  15. Catching up on news. I see that the perp and the prof worked or trained together in Lisbon. Failed physics want-to-be-academic holds grudge for 20 years, loses it and starts shooting people. Asshole.
  16. Speculation online the brown shooting was intended to target a physics final but got the schedule confused.
  17. Actions described by the tipster hardly sound like guy was professional. Case and motive just gets weirder imo esp if the mit shooting is part of the package.
  18. I have no doubt that we probably sing different sets of Christmas carols.
  19. PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A man who is suspected of killing two and wounding several others at Brown University has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility, a law enforcement official and a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The man was found dead Thursday evening. He is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the person familiar with the matter said. Investigators believe the man is responsible for both the shooting at Brown and the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who was fatally shot in his Brookline home Monday, the official said. Authorities have not formally confirmed a connection between the two shootings. Totally normal. Causal inference and linking strains.
  20. It's boomer brained shit. They haven't and won't adapt.
  21. LOL. The fact that you think that post can inform your assessment of me or my posts says more than enough about you and your willingness to speak from ignorance. I of course mean no disrespect.
  22. It's pretty straightforward to monetize some aspects of benefits of WAH vs. in office setting, but some the other aspects you outlined are certainly harder to put to value to. And the value assessment will vary based on a significant number of very individual and/or personal factors.
  23. sigh
