In my experience most guys who work out, eat clean and get lots of exercise are super conscious of not being “That guy” at their gym, running spots or wherever they go to get their workout on. They also dont tend to have to do a lot of work to meet women outside of that environment. If a guy is handsome, employed and is generally polite and friendly available women will make the advance because as you have found, theres a lot of (even if they are very nice people) guys that well… arent.

SOME things were better in the past. Most were not. Just because someone can you can name a few examples of things that were better doesnt make them right.

Sure if you want to set the game to easy.

Do you think you and your significant other could have sex with these on?

Oh these comments are going to go to helpful places I’m sure.

Michael is probably the hardest case of this too.

Its easy not to support, discuss or enable Kevin Spacey because while he was a brilliant actor in a few movies he wasnt irreplaceable. Michael on the other hand was likely one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He was a cultural phenomenon.

A lot of allegations and concerning behaviors absolutely but no convictions and a lot of people who knew him who defend him absolutely. A lot of potential substance abuse or mental health issues but also a lot of financial reasons why people may have alleged things that didnt happen…

Michael is a very grey case.

That was the advice I got when I went to Europe.

Learn how to say four things “Hello”, “Do you speak English?”, “Sorry” and “Thank you” and most people will do their best to work with you.

If Chinas Navy pulled up and said “We’re here to get our tankers. Go on, try and stop us.” That would be a slap in the face he wouldnt survive OR he starts WW3… which he also wouldnt survive.

Its very much the same as standup comedy. Its 100% you.

If people dont watch its because YOU arent entertaining enough, YOU arent likeable enough, YOU arent putting in enough effort and energy, YOU dont bring anything new to the table, YOU dont take enough risks… Theres no team, theres no band, theres no coworkers, its all on you. Thats a lot to hang your entire livelihood on.

I could only do streaming or a YT if I had “never work again” money because without the pressure I probably could be fun and entertaining the whole time.

My wife has warned her friends “Never refer to my husband looking after his kids as “babysitting” unless you want a snarky, probably very rude response.”

Except on their anchovies.

I think Ricky has a problem in that some people go to his shows expecting a sterility of humor you find on tv and get proper standup. You almost never hear outrage about Jeselnik because his entire repertoire is “I’m saying the wildest shit I can think of and thats what you’re here for”

I have mixed feelings about Dave Chappelle because I genuinely believe in inclusivity which unfortunately includes having jokes made about you (which some communities do not appreciate) but he just did too much and it crossed a line into feeling like bullying behavior so I dont fuck with him at all anymore.

He has always been a FAR better writer than a performer.

But thats just it and what most professional comedians are talking about. They dont want you to be genuinely offended or upset, but if you go to a comedy show or watch a 60 minute special. You laugh at 55 minutes but get offended at the 5 that are about a topic YOU are sensitive about, that 5 minutes wasnt all of a sudden serious statements meant to be taken seriously. It was all jokes. They dont owe anyone an apology because that person didnt like parts of their work. They KNOW that not everything is going to land for everyone. If 90% of the audience are laughing, you are killing it.

The sad thing is how good some of those family cars that were so god damn pedestrian 20 years ago are now.

I drove one of the v6 Camrys with the 8 speed… 300hp and half a second faster over the quarter than the gt86… Sure its not manual.and isnt rwd but for a daily… it fucking slapped. “iT cAnT dRiFt” yeah I’m a 40yo man with two kids seats in the back, I’m not trying to tackle Mt Akina.

Why arent people buying more cars from the 70s?

Parts and servicing is a big problem now. A lot of shops wont touch anything they cant plug a diagnostic computer into.

Some parts are made of unobtanium and require complex workarounds or paying through the nose for parts.

I think thats partly because of the 80s and 90s when unibody manufacturing became very commonplace but powered everything and tons of tech wasnt commonplace yet.

People just assume cars kept getting lighter.

The guy was a flog, the killdozer was cool. Same as those 2 guys who made armored suits and robbed the bank leading to a 45 minute shootout in LA. Assholes sure, but ok… pretty epic at the same time.

Leary is a below average comic but I think he is an excellent performer, dude had talent and presence, still does but he stole jokes to get there which means he is permanently a douchebag as far as comics go.

Or at least go full fucking Orwell with it and let me see the benefits.

Every fucking night someones shithead kids are out breaking into and stealing cars in my neighbourhood and every fucking day I have to dodge unregistered dirt bikes and unrestricted E-bikes on the roads just trying to go to work and do groceries like a regular boring asshole who has to obey all the fucking rules because if I beat the fuck out of the cunt in my driveway trying to get into my car and possibly steal it I’ll catch charges and if I dont pay all the registration costs, insurances and drive exactly as I’m told the government will destroy my livelihood.

Do something about the brainless fucks that cant live in a society FIRST and maybe I’ll complain less about the surveillance state.
