  1. I read his 12 Rules book, which was mostly gibberish with a few obvious pointers like “try to have good posture” and “maybe don’t whine about how stuff is unfair and instead fix what you can?” Then he got addicted to benzos and blamed someone else, flew to Moscow for therapy and treatment (as one does when seriously ill) and lived in Serbia for a while. I think at one point he only consumed beef although his colon scan did not become a modern art installation. I am not one to say that people with turbulent personal lives full of awful decisions can’t be intelligent, or even brilliant. Just not in the life coach genre.
  2. Letting pro-Palestine protesters do their thing in public is the best way to make the argument for the other side. I think that same women leads every single one of these nationwide somehow, that exact shrill and hectoring voice is the one I’ve heard each time whether online or in person.
  3. Her ghostwriter and editor both must really hate her to let the “shooting my dog in a gravel pit” anecdote make it to print.
  4. I feel like using “Jew” as an adjective is folksy, down-home, “don’t they have their own country clubs” anti-semitism. If someone uses “Jewry” or “the Jew” he probably owns a lot of Hugo Boss.
  5. The Stanford encampment made a propaganda film and when they get to the part about students reading and educating themselves it’s comic books. Lol.
  6. Exactly this. Those other countries are either not really serious about the military (Austria) or need to be ready to fight a whole of society defensive conventional war. We are never going to fight a defensive conventional war and our military is an expeditionary force that has to be ready to fight. We have neither the time or funding to waste energy on drifting incels with no motivation. There’s not a place for them.
  7. Wife got a new home office chair and so today I went to put it together. Unboxed, looked at the instructions and determined it just needed the little Allen wrench that came with the hardware, started laying out the parts in order to start getting it all squared away. Wife comes by, sits down on the floor, takes the instructions away and starts asking questions: “Are you sure you don’t need more tools? Why are you taking all the parts out at once. Are you sure….” Me: ”Hey, can you please just put those instructions back where they were and I’ll be done really soon.” Her: ”You don’t have to be rude to me! I’m just helping you! I can put it together myself if that’s how you want to be.” Me: “OK” Her: “Or I don’t have to help you and you can do it without me.” Me: “Also fine.” Her: “Rabble grumble pout huff.” Spoiler: She neither put it together herself or “made” me do it alone, and she also took the instructions away one more time to “check that you’re doing it right.”
  8. I’m more worried about the ones that get obsessed with the military… It’s mainly a stand-in for doing and learning things that young men need to do. Do something difficult but not impossible. Make yourself presentable and make your bed. Do things you don’t want to do but need to do. Accept authority and be in authority. Work in a group to accomplish something. Maintain some physical activity. Not the only way but A way, that’s accessible. The one thing that comes through in anecdotes and interactions is passivity combined with entitlement. And that’s a huge turnoff. So many of these guys whine about women liking bad boys, but they just want to be around someone with drive and energy. Protector/provider drive is best, but having prey drive is better than just being the prey.
  9. It’s not a scientific formula, just pointing out that the Finsta and public account mostly used for following and very rare active posting is a thing. They don’t use it like those of us who got Facebook with an .edu address did, it’s cringe to post a bunch of photos and stuff about yourself unless it’s highly curated because you’re trying to be a creator or influencer or something. Anyway this is mostly orthogonal to the discussion.
  10. Someone at the Columbia protest has a bright future making DoD slide decks. There is really weird overlap and interplay between activist speak, HR speak, and biz school process mapping gibberish, I’ve noticed. Total cultural domination by the MBA set.
  11. Dumb AF, and also with the dog. Take him to sale barn or slaughter and freezer him if it’s that big of a problem but “go the gravel pit and shoot him twice cause you messed it up the first time” is psycho behavior. Sometimes country people do have put down dogs for killing livestock, usually getting in with newborn calves, lambs, and goats. Killing a purebred wire haired pointer for killing chickens is nuts. “We have a dog that’s not cut out for the working life, does anyone in town want a pet” is the solution.
