@ignor3th1s@R00349@aestheticist_ Down at least two pegs in the rankings which is why Zuckerberg and gates ended up where they did despite their wealth.
@ignor3th1s@R00349@aestheticist_ Mediocre salary. The m5 gets the girl who is short and overweight. That’s what they each deserve in the market. Many people aren’t ready to accept that. Many of the raging incels also don’t realize there is a non neurotypical penalty since women screen for it. Autism knocks you
@_V3C7@aestheticist_ Women too far down the totem pole also don’t exist for men. A 10 male is not going to sleep with a 2 female (even if the 2 female will pursue them)…too many 6s to get through. Women r categorized keeper sleeper sweeper and neither.
@ChrisLaubAI Prenups aren’t magic documents. They don’t settle custody arrangements, don’t get you out of child support and don’t let you kick the kids out of the house. If you feel that way and don’t want to risk it, only way around it is to not have kids.
@chopperface69@GayBearRes Kids, both work & both want to get it over quick divorce should not be messy. It’s the choices (have kids, one doesn’t work, one part cheats or is abusive) that make it that way so only the lawyers win.
@chopperface69@GayBearRes It’s easier if there are no kids involved and both spouses are working. Kids ruin everything. The other thing that causes divorces to go sideways is when there’s fault (like adultery) and so the injured party tries to weaponize the system in revenge. But theoretically if no
@nealjclark1 My son is an undergrad film major. 4/5 of his films feature the phone, one as a main character. 1) it’s a generational thing for writers, 2) casual daily life fair has faded from mainstream tv: family sitcoms faded with Modern Family, few teen dramas like Veronica mars or Gilmore
@NathanielGivens Slow down at the end, hitting their brakes. As a result, traffic in both lanes slows down and now you have a traffic jam which is the least efficient outcome on the table.
@NathanielGivens Zippers are line cutting. So some part of the people in the receiving lane are not yielding to let them in, having to slam their brakes when chicken results, and the entire line slows down. The merging lane people then panic: will they be let in or will they have to radically
@CptBuffaloney Problem: either merge as early as possible or zipper merge is the correct answer to keep traffic moving but everyone has to agree on one or the other. Since they don’t you get a traffic jam and everyone angry at each other.
@CptBuffaloney The problem is they’ll try to stop you from merging. So you’ll have to yield or the guy will be forced to hit the brakes in a game of chicken. Traffic slows down as a resulting of the breaking. We now have a traffic jam. Everyone is worse off. It’s ultimately a coordination
@MichaelFKane Luke is supposedly training with yoda during the same time period. If it’s days that’s a really short time period. If it’s weeks why aren’t they changing clothes/having issues with food. Either way time doesn’t make sense.
@ver_nanaaa Normal people rather take the free dinner at the fancy place than the food given at the free event. Again not saying one preference is better than the other… just why people prefer one to the other…steak will also Trump a latte
@ver_nanaaa If you love meeting new people wouldn’t you rather it be accompanied with this cute place people are talking about that you haven’t been able to afford than a Starbucks?
@ver_nanaaa Of course many people have main character syndrome. I’d venture the majority of people actually do. And extroverts love meeting new people: it’s actually a great joy (esp if the topic is about you).
@tardwife4life Widows, slaves and colonials. The rich and powerful therefore had more opportunities than the middle class (who was basically reliant on prostitutes) and lower classes (who could afford none)
@tardwife4life A. Possible due to the power imbalance not tradition. B. Women weren’t necessarily happy about it. C. There were rules: couldn’t cause a scandal, ruin or a duel by messing around with a married or single woman. Meant: lower class workers (servants or peasants), prostitutes,
