  • Finding out people’s salaries is a good thing. It’s how you prevent your bosses from screwing everyone over. Of course that information might be sensitive so don’t go around inquiring willy nilly, but it’s definitely a topic that you can and should sometimes visit.

    (I know this is a s*** post so it’s all good but some people don’t realize the value in discussing salaries, and they think it’s something that has to be super secret when that only hurts you, the employee.)










  • Right right, but that’s totally different from saying that you can’t make today better than yesterday. Nobody ever expected things would stay the same, but that doesn’t mean that they all get worse in every possible way.

    Six decades from now, when your health really is failing in every possible way, that’s the time when you’re allowed to say that it only gets worse from here.








  • I was looking at the longer quote of what he said, and he didn’t explain in detail that he was actually talking about self-identification. In point of fact, that would be the only reasonable way to interpret his words, but many of his followers are not reasonable, and he is often not reasonable. So we also need to include the interpretation that he’s accusing her of lying about her background, and also the interpretation that various non-white skin colors all look the same to Donny’s kind of people, and it’s tedious trying to distinguish them precisely.



  • Right. You worked for something maybe seriously for a decade, it didn’t work out, but you might live for another 60 years. Hey if you want to sacrifice the future based on the past that’s okay, but the reality is we have no idea what’s going to happen. In many countries, there are expressions that essentially state that men don’t even start looking attractive until they hit their 30s. And I know dozens of men who got married in their thirties or forties or fifties. Of course you don’t have to get married, that’s cool too, but let’s not pretend that it’s totally impossible just because it didn’t work out for you so far.


  • It’s been a couple decades since I heard anyone say “just be yourself” as a message for how to take someone to bed. From a practical standpoint, either find a professional to employ, or hit the bar scene and don’t give up, and you’ll probably meet success.

    Another piece of advice, if you’re not only looking for sex, is to try to do things that will make you a better version of yourself 2 years from now. Whether that’s going to the gym or volunteering or getting a part-time job or walking the dog more, whatever it is, that’s something everyone can decide for themselves.

    I think everyone knows that if you aren’t getting action now, and you keep doing the same things tomorrow, you probably won’t get any action then either. But this all gets conflated when people mix sex and love together, when they really want one of the two but won’t bother to tell us which one.
