Yeah, because students… THEY’RE the ones with all the money.

Yup, first thought was, “Then I guess you’d better pay the mechanics what they’re asking for, fuckers.”

Yup, haven’t voted liberal since he bathed in the applause of thousands, then flipped us all the bird when he got into office.

I would like like to see PP’s bullshit called out on a regular basis. He railed against the proposed capital gains tax, but it doesn’t appear that anyone pointed out the huge conflict of interest he has – his personal wealth has (apparently) been built on real estate investing / exploitation.

I like her more than both, but her public speaking savvy is… well… it needs a lot of work.

I’d be willing to accept that over what the other two idiots are offering.

Doesn’t he own a dozen investment properties, and that’s how he explains his dramatic increase in wealth over the course of his years in parliament?

It’s called Lupron, it’s a hormone blocker. It’s used for chemical castration of pedophiles, and to put women into menopause.

The side effects make it… A bigger burden than whacking off into a sock.

Having said that…

Ask yourself why it is that you can’t be happy. And while money isn’t the secret to happiness, the lack of it can be pretty fucking depressing.

Story time…

On the way home from work I stepped off a bus and turned in the direction of home. A young woman who was a few steps ahead of me was being verbally harassed with overtly sexual language by a man. I stepped between them, facing the dude, and told him to fuck off and walk away. Some words were exchanged, and eventually he turned around and walked away. I watch him for a minute or two, then turned around and walked home. The woman he was harassing was long gone.

When I got home and relayed this story to my girlfriend, she said this sort of interaction was COMMON. She’d never mentioned it in the nearly 10 years we’d been dating. It was normal to her. My response was “What the actual fuck? That’s bullshit.” But it was her reality, and the reality of the woman I saw, and probably dozens or hundreds more, every day.

We collectively need to do better. We need to stop doing it ourselves, and stop our friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances, and even strangers from doing it. We need to raise the average and be better.

You’ve got 25 downvotes. Take the hint: Your ‘hot take’ is crap, and you should work on getting better.

All men have had shitty things happen to them. All of us have been treated unfairly. How we pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off matters.

Dude, get some therapy. The world isn’t as harsh and bleak as you imply, and if your life experience hasn’t already shown you that, you need to stop throwing yourself a pity party and start working on getting better so you can enjoy your life.

…and nothing of value was lost…

1. Bears are omnivores and mostly eat plants/seeds/berries. https://www.bearsmart.com/about-bears/food-diet/

2. Few bears hunt mammals (but we’ve all seen photos of them hunting fish) but when they do, they hunt young deer/elk/moose, and are more likely to scavenge winter kills or fresh kills made by others (wolves/big cats/etc.).

The solution to this problem is to be ‘better than average’ and bring up the average by leading by example.

I know more than one of these men that women would rather not take a chance with… The JR/AT/JP/TradWife/dudebro types. When I asked my girlfriend about the choices, she chose ‘bear’ immediately, and specifically called out someone we knew, saying, “Would YOU want me to encounter <dudebro> in the forest if I didn’t know him?” And she was right – I’d prefer she choose the bear…

And that’s tragically fucking sad that someone I know is so far down the ‘dudebro’ rabbit hole that I wouldn’t leave my GF alone with him in a compromised position.

Uh, it sounds like the best way to pay 2x+ the market price for a lot.

This is how we found out my mother had it:

Mom: “The colours on this new TV are terrible. Everyone is green.”

Me: “Okay, hold on, let me adjust the tint.”

Mom: “Now they’re too blue.”

Me: adjusts the colour temp

Mom: “Ew, now everyone is too yellow, it’s like the Simpsons.”

• one hour later of adjusting each setting by one step *

Mom: “Well, it’s still not right, but it’s less awful.”

A few years later I found out about Tetrachromacy tests online, and she scored something like 98%.

Meh. Both people not understanding what they want or how to solve a problem is entirely possible, but the solution to that is to try a few different things and talk some more. Maybe that could be the hook… Talking to couples instead of just one person. Anyway. As much as I’d love for someone to pay me to talk about sex all day, it’s not happening.

I think the snag is that “talk to your partner” is a boring, factual, real-world response to most questions – which is very, very good advice… that nobody wants to hear.

Yeah, but then you’d have to talk about women like… they’re… people… or something. /s
