Well those sound like people who aren't good to open up to.

I do sympathize though, I pretended to be a guy for several decades, and my wife put exactly the same kind of duality on me that men put on women.

I was expected to be sympathetic and nurturing in some contexts and aggressive, jealous, and demanding in others, and I was just supposed to know when to switch.

And there was an amount of vulnerability I was able to display, but beyond that I'd get told to suck it up.

I think somebody needs to come up with an ad campaign that's Therapy For Men. Big sweaty hairy guys with thick beards looking after each other's mental health like BROs. It worked to get men to use soap.

(Seriously, I think counseling is too female-coded for a lot of men to be comfortable with it unless they're fucking the person, or they start to want to fuck the person because they're unused to talking about things).

What a disgusting pair of people.

List doesn't include Zohran, meaningless.

New Yorkers have an amazing ability to elect slimy fuck bags.

They're almost catching up to us in California. 😏

If she wants more men, Alaska is calling.

But also, maybe she's entering her mid-50s and guys aren't as interested.

I'm nearing that age but look younger. I've had this experience more than once: chatting with a guy, they will be interested, during the course of the conversation they learn I'm 15 years older than they thought, and they'll just click off.

Which is kind of odd to me, like, you liked ogling me well enough 5 seconds ago, and I didn't think you were exactly evaluating me for prospective matrimony...

And this tailing off will be more pronounced if you're hoping that the man will be interested in you as a display object.

I was gonna say, you need 16 rounds before reloading for self-defense? Are you Pablo?

That's kind of how I read it too.

But as a side effect it means you're still allowed to photograph your own books at home as a private citizen if you own them.

Prepare to never legally own another piece of media in your life. 😄

I was at Google when it came out, I was like "sure this would be fine to use too, but everybody is on chat and Gmail and I kind of need to actually reach people..."

I think they just figured it would get dogfooded automatically because it was slicker than chat and Gmail, but under time pressure you're just not gonna do it unless you have to.

And there was zero chance I was going to get anybody in my personal life to use it.

They expected me to treasure that bullshit too. Kept my seventh-place ribbons in a box for ten years until I threw them the fuck out
