It important to remember that the people we use Twitter are disproportionately younger than the general population. A survey asking about age on a platform that skews disproportionately younger can’t be an accurate reflection of older people’s opinions.
@joejohnstun
@Flip_Stewart
That’s a funny pun, but what she’s saying is mostly true. I guess I don’t understand your argument, part of being a straw man is that what the person is saying misrepresents something making it easier to defeat. What’s being misrepresented?
@joejohnstun
@Flip_Stewart
Oh I see, your argument is even though this person has it worse than some people she doesn’t have it worse than most people. Sure, there’s lots of horrible things in the world. I’m not sure how putting things on a scale and saying one thing is worse makes the world better?
@yashkaf
What do you mean, there’s no way to have a discourse? (This seems like a great introduction!) It certainly is awkward, I usually hear this expressed as ‘having one’s life together’
@SGhostalot
@_annarebecca
No. You are missing the point about feeling violated. Further, people rarely do things once. How many people has this person contacted through their private records?
@juliagalef
Soliciting honest feedback about what you can do better on future dates and relationships. And then ppl actually giving it instead of trying to spare your feelings in the moment. Or better yet, everyone learning how to give and get effective feedback

An ex volunteered to defend me with force. I was like, ABSOLUTELY NOT. Are you an MMA fighter? Do you carry a knife? No? Your first priority is to get both of us out of there.
"[some] girls want a college educated guy with upperclass aspirations, middleclass sensibilities, & a lowerclass willingness to defend them with force"
is this the girl equivalent of guys wanting a lady in the streets and freak in the sheets?

@nomanautomata
You know, a friend of mine said that to me. He planned to get inebriated so he could put up with hat family thing. And I was like, have you tried talking to her about your need for alone time, specifically? And then we brainstormed ways to do this politely, and they worked it out
@courtines
@lexfridman
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, could you expound?
Are you saying thoughts not backed by data are just as valuable as thoughts backed by data?
We can talk about everything being a construct, but that just continues to put everything at square one.
Or (hot take) a ‘people who aren’t attracted to women’ cabin. In my younger, shyer days I wouldn’t have felt safe with the current set up. Case in point: one woman switched to our cabin because someone in her original cabin was too forward and she didn’t feel safe sleeping there.
@jboogie
A better, and I think obvious solution is: we should all hire more researchers and advocate for cross-functional participation and data and process transparency. Hiring researchers, or not hiring them is a statement about what the company values, not about budget.
Does most of TPOT discuss gender relations most if the time? Or am I just (newly) following a specific subgroup? I’d like a variety of interesting thoughts in my feed.
@bastard_brian
@nomanautomata
And I empathized the need to do this collaboratively with her. Like, I need alone time, you need family time, I want to be there for you, and also escape sometimes. How can we plan a signal or build in a walk alone for me-that sort of thing
@hpdailyrant
There've been quite a few experiments about this, apparently, the most successful one is sending a message to people that there is a vaccine reserved for them. The least effective is this joke: Have you heard the one about the flu? Nevermind, I don't want to spread it around
@freganmitts
Yeah, I’ve often felt I have nothing to post that people would be interested in. Or conversely, not wanting to share too much about my life.
Ideas for finding a stealth jet:
Use a giant magnet 🧲
100 metal detectors latched together ⛓️
Gives the dogs its scent 🐕
Call it back sweetly, “Oh jeeet, here jetty, jet jet” 😇
Use a satellite heat map 🗺️
@Aella_Girl
I like it! Also, I think you’re missing something; ads are for a demographic with specific needs and money to spend on them. How many rich, famous (symbol of cultural acceptance) trans people are there? Gay people? More, yes? In 20 years and the young trans people will have $ 🤞🏻
Might fuck around and make an app objectifying men. Are you super hot and charismatic? Are you willing to put in time/attention/money to make a relationship actually work? Or both?!
But will this actually bring women into tech?
@AGoldmund
One of the ideas of stoicism is thinking, what if I didn’t have this?
What if more people had died? What if there was no vaccine? What if people you hold dear were sick and had life-long side effects or died?
Something to be grateful for.
@Ruesavatar
These people are not your friends or allies. They seem to want good things for your kids. They don’t care about your wants or needs at all. My rec: start planning more fun things with your kids over their breaks
@PiquantParvenu
Ok, brainstorming here, so what if you cleaned the bottom of the heels? Or specifically brought a second pair of shoes to wear at the door? Or hosted a party with shoes? Or hosted a party outside? Or wore sexy tights with neat prints under the boots?
@postjawline
1/ No, only he is awful. She has been completely upfront about not wanting kids and continuing to not want kids. He deceived her about having them. And when he got jealous that she was having lots of fun and maintaining savings, he wanted a change, to be more like her.
@AGoldmund
Yeah, I know. You don’t know me, but I hear you talk a lot and love your podcast.
Is that really glass half empty? Maybe you’re an optimist who regularly gets disappointed?
1/ Ways I got over stage fright, by artistic type:
For improv comedy, initially, I liked to pretend that no one was watching/it didn’t matter if they were bc I was in a scene.
"Mansplaining" is an unhelpful term born from a clash of communication styles.
People who use the label often push the narrative that men are intentionally patronising towards women. (Psst...some are...don't be that guy!)
But such a hard conclusion also disregards how men

Is there a drawback to having 2 honorary professorships? Bring home the honorary bacon.
@astridwilde2
Yeah, time to prioritize. If you want a family, you gotta have time to date, or at least do a lot of social activities where you regularly meet a bunch of people you might be interested in
@Aella_Girl
If I hadn’t overheard someone say that talking to you was intimidating, I’d have guessed 50 or 60, and if I hadn’t already seen the options on the survey I’d have guessed at least 20, now I’ll say 5-10, but maybe that’s too high? I hope we get an answer!

I never did learn exactly how he did it. It seemed both private and a point of pride. They are stronger than ever as a couple now 😊
hearing about the problem of double texting is always funny to me because if I take the 20 or so of closest relationships I have, practically all of them were initiated by one of us writing ~a goddamn essay for the other
I found an artist whose work I love in CDMX: Rodrigo R. Pimental

Stock/equity/RSU value can change with the market and the profitability of the company, so the super high comp you hear about only happens if the company does well, and usually, if the market does well too.
@yashkaf
I asked a GI doctor friend about this, here was her reply: it’s super hard to run actually good experiments about nutrition because it’s hard to control what people eat for a length of time that matters for results
I’m curious to hear any other answers you get!
@netrunnernobody
Def not, I can see things in my mind. I remember having an easy time in high school chemistry class imagining ball and stick molecules and then spinning them around to see how atoms connect. When I described it to other people, they were like, you can DO that?
@luicaruso
@WheatNOil
Like when you receive a packet of information about sexual offenders from grade school. You see what they look like & what they did. (The vaccine) Then if you were to see them in person(the virus), you’re able to identify them and (hopefully run away) and keep yourself safe.
The ontological framing of the like button. It reduces reactions to a quantitative measure of liking and disregards a whole host of other emotional reactions.

It really seems like there are exactly two kinds of hetero men on this app- wife guys (future ones count too) who are completely loveable dotes, and then monstrous women hating incels with zero self reflection capability who will die bitter and alone. No in between at all.

Add 2 bananas and three oranges to the basket on the right. Then put an equal sign. This is the start of adding unlike things like 2x + 3y = 2x + 3y. I’m sorry that our math books in this country are horrible, common core smh.
Absolutely, unabashedly, I loved it. I’m single, no kids. The downside was that it was hard to make friends with all the flirting, and I’d love more friends too.
@sama
We could also fund public universities to the same extent they were funded in our parents’ generation. They had part-time jobs and paid for college and life. Everyone seems to forget this option. Public universities have been systematically defunded in our lifetime.
2/ …and I was like, well, then it’s better if we both fight because two are harder to kill than one. And folks, I continue to regret to inform you that he wasn’t happy about that either.

I’ve been inside Munger. It wasn’t for me. But the lack of windows in the bedroom is made up for by the giant windows in the common dining room area. It sounds like ppl didn’t want to breathe the same air as their roommates during covid. It would suck to live there with covid

More men leave religion than women; could it be that the odds favor women who have left religion and men who have stayed? (I live in Utah and let me tell you the odds are good even if the goods are odd)
3/ And if you’re like, “Lauren, where is your rizz? Missed opportunity!” You would be correct. I then conceded that his muscles were much, much bigger than mine, and he would have a much better chance of winning than I would alone. And thank you so much you big, hunky man.

Hot hot take and raising the idea for conversation: the consequences for women who don’t fit in are harsher than for men who don’t fit in.
Think about a hermit, what gender are they?
Most of the successful founders I know are fueled essentially by romantic rejections they had in their early teens. I think our economy might largely be running on the disgust response of 15yo girls
