Communication at the most subtle and advanced which admittedly has little to do with how you'd talk to a dog or small child. You could say the worst things to them in a lovely soothing voice, and what's heard by the dog or small child is the lovely soothing voice and not at all the words. But in adults this is like laughing because the emoji says so. A run of the mill comment with the teller laughing at the end is not a joke!
Although you could add a knowing wink I do believe we have made progress if you didn't need to. And I've always preferred comedies that don't have a canned laughter track for the same reason. That would be actual rapport to know it was a joke without spelling it out. It's funnier without a little laughing emoji telling you when to laugh. Not told it was a joke, to have actually got the joke because you actually understand. Brilliant.
Old people are what? Compromising? Are you sure about that?
I put old people with establishment. You've perfected a certain way of doing things and those ways are set in stone. The rate of change decreases with every year you are alive. I put old people with establishment and everything that must entail, the fully formed habits of a lifetime where it takes ten times the effort to change even a tenth as much as it did when you were young.
Work really hard. Women still marry men who make more money than they do, it's just that many men don't.
Either that or marry a woman less attractive than yourself.
And always remember that neither monogamy nor a wedding are what a man wants. This is just controlling access to what he does want, to get him to behave. These are what he thinks he wants because he doesn't have any options
I'm guessing but wouldn't a band like Journey have more Trump supporting fans than not? An inexcusably American 20th century rock band that goes on a "Freedom" tour. I admit I only know one song they did and it sounds like an anthem to America nostalgia.
It's easy to be wise to everyone and then a complete fool for that someone. And I think that's what's scary about it. Not necessarily a bad apple but the chance that person is literally bonkers. Toxic but they didn't mean it, exactly the type of person I'd go wrong with but it doesn't have to be that way. It's when you're in love that you may need to find a way to step back from the brink of insanity.
A first date should always be in or around the woman's turf. What sort of man makes the woman travel to him? That sort of man.
And yet we have to put things into the context of a world with 8 billion people and a media to inform us of the worst of it. Being suspicious of everyone you meet has to be put into perspective, you're far more likely to drown in your own bath tub and it doesn't stop people bathing. By being hysterical about the danger brutes will come to power in a billy no mates police state.
It perhaps would be more successful if Elon Musk could make Twitter a genuine free-for-all instead of spacking out in the heat of moment like he always does. But then Elon wasn't a success because of his people skills, far from it.
And religion too of course. You're more likely to believe in a god if you're a woman, and even if it's an atheist much more likely to be that spiders webs and magic type of atheism. Believing in god is a fairy tale, but the power of crystal skulls are divine. Where irreligion is the norm the woman becomes spiritual but not religious. Less interested in how things actually work and there's a reason why. Thanks Angela for rendering Europe dependent on Russian gas and the daughters of generation Merkel are even more girly and silly. Once the women are liberated they're less rational than before. The stress of necessity used to force everyone to be more realistic. Once the stress of necessity goes men and women become even more Venus and Mars, less of the down to earth.
So yes you must be content with the average of things as they are. If you're a Russian who likes Putin you're more likely to be a woman, if you're a western who likes metoo you're more likely a woman, if you're anywhere and want to shame the unvaccinated then you're more likely to be a woman. If you are content with the average of things as they are
High hopes you have, my contention is that you better hope the system works well. Women are the average of things as they are there'll be no more revolutions and little in the way of reform, that's just it your society in its final state so you better hope it's a good one. The average of things as they are will be the end of competition and of change in a monopolistic world.
And what luck for rulers that we empower women. All things become much more safe and predictable in spite of the illusion of choice, these options that will never be taken, and all the punching gets directed downwards. May as well be a nation of Hall monitors but don't call it out, entertain the fiction.
All the doors must be left open to a woman so that they may then be closed. The freedom is a hypothetical, female empowerment a contradiction in terms, all the options exist so that they are not taken. The same behaviour, the same choice, will arise again and again which is precisely why you must entertain all these options that will never be taken. Don't fence her in, that's her job.
You gotta remember that the only justice there is the fact that power can change hands. In Russia they obviously have a different take on what a "winner" and a "loser" is and even ten, fifteen years down the line that can change.
It's the main reason why a globalised world run by the same generation that lives for a thousand years would be such a monstrous tyranny. Power never changes hands, there's only one take on things and it's universal and people don't even die of old age. An absolute monstrous tyranny this would be if it was allowed to arise.
Seems like an unfair trade but always remember how much more important people of status and influence are to the justice system because they're more important to the rest of us. It's justice for a VIP, the best kind of justice. The law is there to pander to winners and prey on losers.
It's only bad if he asks to be praised. Normally people talk positively about the person they are in love with. They praise one another as much as he praised her at the beginning, but with greater sincerity.
The answer is yes she should praise her boyfriend but she won't unless she thinks he doesn't need it. At least initially. On the date a woman is inclined to grind down your sense of self-worth to see how deep it goes. But once the bond is established she'll come into bat for you. Often for seemingly no reason. She got flirted with by an attractive man and her response will be to praise her boyfriend like she should, better make things solid there.
It's because we associate being reassured with women and taking it on the chin with men. But then we don't have to be like women. Take the compliment as not all praise is a duplicitous ploy or cheap flattery. Nice girls finish better than last and all men are the happier for it.
But I really do think this comes from childhood. It's your mum's praise that counts when you were a little child, to feel worthy comes from this you don't need to reminded that you are worth something or try too hard to gain affection. Which would be the problem if we were solely raised by our dads, brought up completely by a stern father.
Something has to give because why do we all agree that those we give the greatest power to should face no consequences for their actions? If Anne Sacoolas and the judge who gave her that sentence were both set on fire it would make a positive difference. With great power comes great responsibility rather than complete immunity for your actions.
We are heading for all fall but why is that necessarily the big finale? We've seen worse in human history and Jesus didn't return then. What makes the time we live in so majorly important? Isn't that a tad narcissistic to believe that all the important things happen in our lifetime? I thought the point was that nobody knows when Jesus will come again.
I know that at least one of the reasons why I'm so tolerant of people different to me is because I was a Thatcher baby. There's no contradiction. The better future thanks to Thatcher(at least for many)is the reason why you're free to do you. I don't have a problem with that precisely because of being a Thatcher baby where the future was promising.
Is a flag the private property of the person who bought it? Are you free to do what you want with it, set it on fire for example? Then it's liberal. Or does it belong to the nation? Is the fact that it's my private property less than the great feeling of the group? Can the group decide for me what I can and cannot do with my own property? Then it's conservative
I think it's just how conservatives find their greater meaning in life. As part of something greater than yourself, it's liberal to say "I" where conservatives say "we".
You see the same thing when it comes to the flag. Who's flag is this British flag? Is it mine because I paid for it (liberal)? Or is it Britain's flag(conservative)?
You said this after the last election and it doesn't seem to have helped. If anything it makes you look disingenuous, boycotting the election would have been thing to do.
And at any rate it doesn't change much. There's only one question that counts. How bad is the coming recession going to be? If it's bad enough, you win.
Unfortunately we often need to come this close to death before we realise our worth. And you know we only do all this moneymaking to avoid fights. In my opinion we miss the point of life because we avoid death too widely.
Anyway that's the weird in the way that stays with you.
For weird in a way that gets completely forgotten - the new billion dollar lord of the rings with the black elves who really shouldn't be there. The updated for modern audiences type of weird that is anti-intellectual stalinist brutalism where they burn works of art in the figurative sense.
