They need to move up the election by a month so he can tackle the situation in the Middle East before someone nukes someone else off the map. November may be too late ...

Have you looked at the news lately? The Middle East is experiencing a meltdown and the current administration (OF WHICH KAMALA IS A PART) is clearly unable to get a handle on things. Ditto the situation in Ukraine. My fear is that it will be too late even if Trump is elected.

I was thinking along the same lines. When your sexuality consists of watching thousands of hours of pornographic content and touching yourself like a 14-year-old boy, is that really something you should feel good about?!

You have to bring something to the table. When a wife earns less, she usually does other things that provide value in the relationship, like housework and childcare. When men aren't working, or working very much, they seldom pick up the slack on the homefront. I saw this firsthand when I was a housecleaner. If the wife in a client couple lost her job or took time off, usually I'd be told that my services were no longer needed, but if the husband were sidelined, I'd go on working as long as they …

Oh geez, I am triggered. Last spring one of my co-workers died suddenly, evidently in her sleep. We all assumed she had had a stroke or heart attack (she was nearing 60 and a heavy smoker). Just recently I met a family member of hers. I mentioned how much we had enjoyed working with his niece and how shocked we had been by her sudden death as she hadn't complained of any symptoms like chest pains, etc. He told me it was fentanyl. I was floored.

The planet is dying, You do realize estimates indicate the Earth has been much colder and hotter at various points in geological history (before humans were advanced enough to have anything to do with it), and we only have accurate data from the past 150 years. So, based on 150 years of data for a planet that is 4.5 billions years old, you've concluded it is dying?

That can be exploited as tax cattle. Read some government reports and you'll see that we're regarded rather as livestock. SCOTUS Justice ACB's use of the phrase "domestic supply of infants" is an example.

Or a man who would have had all kinds of casual sex if he had been attractive or popular. This cuts both ways. Some women are only low-N because they're not very pretty and men seldom approached them.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/09/24 03:45 PM
2

What I was trying to get at was the idea that a low-N person is assumed to have sexual values that are somehow purer and more virtuous than someone who has had lots of promiscuous sex ... when in reality they may have watched thousands of hours of porn, including truly vile stuff. Would the vile porn-watcher be more "pure" than a man or woman who has only had missionary-position sex? Where do you draw the line?

I think it is pretty common to want someone sexually compatible with you, no matter your gender. Are you saying that men want a woman who has watched as much porn as they have?
/r/PurplePillDebate16/09/24 11:48 AM
2

It's actually not a great way. You have to take opportunity into account as well. Maybe she's low-N because she's not terribly attractive thus not many men approached her. Perhaps she would have been a turboslut had she been prettier! Never mistake virtue for the lack of opportunity.
/r/PurplePillDebate16/09/24 11:47 AM

So how would you evaluate the "sexual values" of a man who's a virgin but has watched approximately 30,000 hours of porn?
/r/PurplePillDebate16/09/24 11:45 AM

First, we should make sure our values and ideas about sex align, This presumes that you turned down lots of opportunities to have sex because of your "values and ideas." Somehow I doubt that's often the case. Never mistake virtue for the lack of opportunity.

I've always found it funny that if a kid graduates college with $30K in student debt, the general perception is that it's a millstone around his neck; he'll never be able to buy a house or start and family, and he'll probably die without repaying it unless Uncle Sam swoops in and cancels it.

My position is that having reasoning, analysis, critical thinking, logic, ethics, and rhetorical skills at a relatively advanced level is highly advantageous and indeed fundamental to a society in the Information Age and beyond. Once again, anyone who has the inclination can study philosophy to their heart's content. The fact that not many do suggests that most people aren't really interested in acquiring those skills. Of course you can try to drum it into them in school, but what's the old sayi…

The problem with this is that having a well-educated population is of benefit to society even if that education doesn’t lead directly to employment at a higher wage. I disagree. Obviously, people need to know the fundamentals, but let's be honest: once you learn to read well, you can pretty much learn anything your heart desires, thanks to public libraries and the Internet. If the average person isn't a towering intellectual genius, it's not because the wisdom of the ages wasn't available in his…

1) free 100% public 100% secular education at all levels. 2) Mandatory education 3-18,then you choose between university or vocational training. This sounds great but the problem is that the U.S. already has more college graduates than its economy can absorb. I've read that only about 4 in 10 college grads are doing jobs that actually require specialized skills or college-level knowledge. So preparing even more people for jobs that don't actually exist doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Th…

I guess this is nothing new. I mean, you can go back to the time around the turn of the last century, and find Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley all assassinated in about a 50-year span.

Endow a scholarship. You have the ability to change the trajectory of people's lives for generations. I've seen it firsthand. My mother grew up in a working-class family. One of her sisters married a man who, despite being a shop rat himself, insisted his daughters go to college. All three did, and married college-educated men. Their kids in turn went to college and are UMC professionals today. The rest of us are still pushing brooms. Be the guy that makes that happen for somebody!

I think there is probably a way to do it, but the pandemic model -- having a teacher basically teach classroom-style only remotely -- didn't work.

It's one of the ways cows announce that they're in estrus. (Cows are the original bi chicks!) Usually the cow on bottom is in standing heat and should be bred right away; the cow on top is probably coming into heat; you want to keep an eye on her and breed her in about 12 hours (although some cows are just horny and will continue riding even if they're already bred, so it isn't a perfect indicator).

That's the "unborn" part of "unborn child." He or she is still developing, the way a toddler is at an earlier stage of development than a teenager. We draw arbitrary lines at "quickening" or birth, but in reality there is no point at which a normal human fetus is not a developing human being.

If a man doesn't commit after sleeping with you, the relationship isn't going anywhere.

Women's unpaid labor generally isn't recognized or rewarded, though. SAHMs of my mother's generation always had to worry about their husbands ditching them for a younger woman. Everyone knows that when a man leaves you behind, he will contribution as little as possible to the support of the family that he made with you. He'll even spend thousands on attorney fees to try to reduce the amount of child support he's forced to pay. Women who ignored these realities often paid dearly for it.

I worry that in our haste to be accepting of trans youth, we've overshot the mark and are encouraging transitioning even in cases where it might not be necessary. Dr. Cass's concl…

Did anyone catch last night's episode of On Point, which interviewed the author of the Cass report on youth transgender care in England? The NHS-commissioned study's findings suggested we simply don't have enough good research to make science-based decisions on things like whether puberty blockers should be used on young children. It also didn't find evidence to support the commonly-held belief that allowing children to transition will make them less likely to attempt suicide. I found it disturb…

The fact is that, pound for pound, everyday people had a much larger slice of the economic pie 50-70 years ago. People 50-70 years ago had UNIONS. They they were coerced to believe that they didn't really need unions; they could rely on the government to give them nice things. Personally I gave up waiting on free universal healthcare and got a UNION job with excellent benefits!

One of my mothers-in-law lived with a man whose wife was in a nursing home with dementia. (All parties were in their 70s.)

My guess would be that bullies and narcissists may be more sexually successful because they're brash.

Most women wear makeup, so if you want to look like everyone else and blend in, you have to wear it so as not to attract undue attention to yourself. For instance, if you have a public-facing job, it's probably important to be at least somewhat pleasing (or at least not jarring) to the eye, or you may find yourself replaced by someone who is.

Here's my theory: World War 2 showed the oligarchs that women could perform a lot of industrial jobs that were once the province of men. In the 1950s, the proliferation of unions also resulted in the oligarchs paying way too much (in their opinion) for labor. The obvious solution was women, who are cheaper and more compliant workers. But how to lure them out of the home and into the workforce? And how to break the unions? Welfare. Welfare was the solution. It made single motherhood (traditionall…

I kinda disagree, if poverty is a factor in play, and abuse, mental illness and/or addiction aren't in the equation. IMO, a kid is better off growing up in a middle-class family with unhappily married parents (as long as domestic violence isn't in the picture, and neither parent is grossly defective) than in an impoverished single-parent household. I really don't think most kids care all that much about whether Daddy's penis is happy or if Mommy is getting her freak on. They want to go to school…

Ennis' wife divorces him and marries her boss.

I think in earlier generations, there were more opportunities for young people to get together.

I think the lack of empathy is probably less prevalent now than it was a couple of generations ago. Nowadays, a woman has little incentive to get with a guy other than the fact that she likes him. Back in the day, men were meal tickets, and women went about picking them in much the way they decide on a career path now. The hard-eyed calculations of my mother's generation left little room for sentimentality ...
/r/PurplePillDebate17/03/24 12:42 PM

They used to be taught how to treat men, too, but times have changed. Women are able to support themselves now; they don't need a meal ticket to provide for them in many cases, so treating men well is optional not mandatory. However, the threat of violence, rape or of being impregnated and abandoned still remain, so women are still warned about the dangers.

It's "degrees," not "degree's" in the above context. Apostrophes are usually found in contractions, where they take the place of the omitted letter(s), as in "don't" or "can't," or to indicate a possessive -- "Joe's shoes," "Sue's cat."

I used to think Adam Levine was hot. And then I saw an interview with him. And my vagina recoiled. When I was a teenager I briefly dated a young man who should have been a male model.

Actually the government subsidizes wood production, so for every pound you sell (for next to nothing) you can file to receive a subsidy that is around 10x the market price (IIRC ... my sheep farmer neighbor was telling me about this awhile back. I think she said wool was only bringing about three cents a lb.) Being a working farm may also get you a break on your property taxes, and wool is a product you can sell without having to ship your animals for slaughter. Besides, sheep are cool!

The flaw in the "men want younger women" theory is that until she hits extreme old age, a woman can always be someone's "younger woman." An "over the Wall" 40-year-old is still the "younger woman" to a 50-year-old man.

Last night an animal rescue popped up in my Facebook feed, and just for shits and giggles, I opened Petfinder.com, did a search for my favorite dog breed and came up with ZERO results. Further Googling revealed that the breed has fallen out of favor since its peak of popularity in the 1970s and now is seldom seen outside of the show ring. Puppies generally sell for $3,000-5,000, meaning I will most like never own another Afghan hound. Bummer!

The toxic aspect of it is that it implies that if that guy can do it, so can you. That isn't 'toxic,' it's simply stating reality. Yes, you can probably make something of yourself if you try.

I for one would prefer countries to enact policies to encourage the birthrate-de-urbanization, more affordable housing for young people, a more streamlined and less debt inducing educational system, and more palatable hours.

Again, an unmarried woman in her 20’s would be labeled a spinster. Spinsters were called thus because in late 1700s-early 1800s New England, it was common for young unmarried women to travel around the area, staying with families and helping the women of the household do their spinning and weaving. I suspect part of this plan was social in nature -- the girls might pair up with the sons of the households in which they worked. The ones who didn't make a match seemed to become perennial "spinsters…

I think the oligarchs realized during WWII that women could do a lot of jobs men had traditionally performed, and they would work cheaper than men and with less fuss as well. At the same time, men were organizing and demanding higher wages and better benefits. Union membership in the U.S. peaked in the late 1950s, with about 1 in 3 workers belonging to a union. Clearly this situation could not persist. The oligarchs were paying far too much for labor! And the solution was staring them in the fac…
