only a month back.

2025 has been a long decade

True, but you get the same thing with religion. And unfortunately it conditions people to be comfortable with mass surveillance

Isn’t that also how Snowden got screwed over by the journalist he sent files to?

What are you referring to exactly?

Also she said she breastfed us because she didn’t trust baby formulas.

She’s 100% right on this one though. While formula is better than nothing, it’s not as nutritious as actual breastmilk.

Alternatively, we could stop lying to our kids from a young age. When you think about it, it’s just normalizing the act of lying, which is kinda fucked up

Bröther, I nëëd lämp

…Also Beans. Yeah didn’t expect that.

You must have never run into r/beansinthings or r/ooer then

You are literally talking about seeing women as prizes to be “won”, and wanting collect as many as you can in a harem. That sounds more like you see women as objects. That is not a healthy attitude, hence why I told you to get therapy.

And I mention Andrew Tate because this is the exact kind of stuff he preaches, and unfortunately a lot of men are gollowing his grift. If you’re surrounded by enough men that you think this attitude towards women is normal for men, you need to get out of that social bubble for the mental health of both you and your family. There’s the old adage of “you are the company you keep”.

But if you’re going to get defensive about it, that’s on you. If you want to ruin the lives of you and your family by not getting help then that’s your problem. I just feel bad for your wife and kids for all the trouble you’re going to drag them through

TBH I think you have it backwards.

It can go both ways. For some people they start making jokes just to fit in, but over time it can warp their thinking

But what I really want is to win women.

Go to therapy, this shit isn’t healthy.

I have found this to be true of basically all men in private conversation, whether they verbalize it in those terms or not.

JFC you need to surround yourself with better people. This is not how all men are. It sounds like you’re stuck in some Andrew Tate-esque social bubble.

and causes writers to pack in so much plot and melodrama that it’s exhausting to watch. Every second is packed too tightly , always trying to be EPIC.

I disagree, though I mainly watch anime so that’s probably skewing things a bit.

With the transition to shorter seasons (12/13 episodes vs 24/25), I’m seeing MORE filler added because the studio tries to fit an arc that only needs 10 episodes to fill out 12. With a longer season, there’s more room to play with pacing of various story arcs

Check and see if those books are published versions of webnovels. I find most (though not all) webnovel series have this problem, and I’ve seen a rise in web novels being converted to full books and audiobooks. I’m willing to bet it’s less prevalent outside of webnovels due to normally needing to submit a manuscript to an editor first.

Reduction in population won’t work - it’d cause a reduction in demand of products leading to reduction in need of work force. It would just spiral to a population of 0

Then wipe it with a paper towel when it’s cool like a normal person

Eggs tend to cook rather well on cast iron so long as you use butter/tallow/fat/etc. and aren’t scrambling them.

Unfortunately I scramble my eggs nowadays so I don’t have much reason to use my cast iron pan anymore :(

The pans regularly get above boiling temperatures. They’re sterile

FYI, you can wash cast iron with soap.

Only if you re-season it afterwards. Otherwise it starts to rust because the seasoning is what protects it from oxidation

Don’t forget data brokers and car manufacturers selling everyone’s personal info to insurabce companies

I would normally say that at least she’s after guys that aren’t creepy by default, but I feel that more applies to guys chasing ladies under 21, not someone who’s in their mid-late 20’s
