@jacktogon My wife said I need new underwear the other day but she didn't know what size to buy because you can't read the tags anymore.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

@Foodacriss She's a good one.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

I've been unhappy with work and applying to jobs for a while. I finally got an offer but it's pretty low. My wife said she's thought about going back to work so that I could take the new job. I'd never take a job that forced her to go back, but I appreciate that she'd offer.

@Foodacriss This one doesn't bother me a much. I tend to see it as people viewing you more as an equal. But I still say it to bosses, elders, etc.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

I've said this before, but it pains me how few people require their children to say yes ma'am/no ma'am/yes sir/no sir. We're known for our Southern Hospitality, but even that is changing. I think I feel more alienated in this than I do restricting screen time.

[Vero @Vero_atLast]

Southern etiquette:

Women younger than you but strangers:
Miss

Women older than you but friendly:
Miss

Women older than you but strangers:
Ma’am

Women you respect in response to questions:
Yes ma’am. No ma’am.

@Sad_HAMs_ This is pretty much what I said. If she wants to, I'm happy to discuss that, but I don't want her to think she needs to. Right now the kids are still young enough that it's nice having her be able to take care of them.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

@racecar_babytoy It's okay. All in all things are still very good for me, and I am doing my best to be grateful.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

@Gruntpa @SchmukQatarlson LOL. Sorry. The whole exchange has me cracking up.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

@Gruntpa @SchmukQatarlson Holup. What about all those private lessons you've been giving me?

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

Honestly I feel kind of guilty about complaining enough that she'd think it's worth going back just so I could switch jobs. I need to be better about that.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

@racecar_babytoy DAMMIT!

One of these is not like the others…

With two ten year old GPUs, we built a frontier JEPA time-series model that cracks the top ten on FEV-Bench while being considerably smaller than its competitors. We think JEPA models are extremely under-utilized in time-series applications.

I agree. But was bombing Iran to get the BBB passed worth it? Would you not be willing to compromise on anything if you thought it benefited Israel? Politics is messy. My bigger point is that folks on here have made comments about not caring if mass deportations crashed the economy because it'd be better long term but then were upset about gas prices. But what if the gas prices were the price you had to pay to get deportations? Because it was "for Israel" it's not worth it?

@sourpatchlyds @lyndseyfifield "If you have sex at all it's not a dead bedroom."
Okay, I guess. We'll just ignore everything else he wrote.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

Update: He worked out with me yesterday. He's still young, so we're not going crazy. Pushups, goblet squats with 15 lb kettle bell, band assisted chinups, situps. We'll aim for 2x/wk on that and throw in some cardio and conditioning when we can.
Be an example for your kids!

Yesterday at practice my son wrestled a boy who weighed a good bit more and muscled him around. On the way home he said he needs to get back to his workout routine. I told him if he wants to join me on my lifting days, I'm happy to have him. I love seeing the drive to get better.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

@redstagnoggin @The_WGD I agree.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

I agree. I'm trying to thread the needle here. There are a lot of guys on "our side" on here who talk a big game and then pissed their pants because of gas prices. I'm mostly addressing those types. Normies absolutely have to be dealt with differently, and the messaging there was bad.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

Unpopular opinion, but he's right (though maybe for the wrong reasons). People in this corner seem willing to acknowledge that fixing things long term will necessitate some short term suffering, which is why I found it particularly absurd that people who cheer on the collapse were so upset about gas prices. Maybe Iran was a bad place to start (I oppose it, but I don't think there are no positives), but thinking we're going to fix things without negatively affecting you is childish.

Remember, Lindsey Graham's support played a significant role in getting the BBB passed, which provided funding for ICE. Many said at the time that bombing Iran was probably on the table for his support. This is how politics works.

[Right Wing Watch @RightWingWatch]

Former Sen. Rick Santorum blames the midterm results on selfish voters who were unwilling to "suffer financially for a higher good": "Nobody likes to do it, but we all suffer." https://t.co/Ud8BGiHvaZ

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

@powerbottomdad1 You got it.

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

I also agree with this. Rs were going to lose no matter what. Maybe it wouldn't have been as bad, but they weren't ready for D "turnout".

I'm not so sure about all the "sting operation" stuff, but I *do* think it's abundantly clear that the Dems engaged in some major fraud frontloading.

Two things can be simultaneously true: Republicans lost at the polls last week and Democrats engaged in fraud that materially changed dozens of races and gave them a much larger majority in both houses of Congress than they would have otherwise had.

The GOP loss was not so much about Trump as it was about the GOP themselves being a bunch of losers who defecate all over their own voters and seem like they're purposefully trying to lose.

People cared about cost/quality of living issues, etc. much more than they did the Iran war. I think I had a grand total of one normie in the real world cite the Iran War as a reason why they weren't voting for the GOP (and this person is a libertardian leaning Bircher anywise), but I had a lot of folks tell me that the GOP was losing their support because of prices, jobs, not being aggressive enough about rolling back immigration, etc.

I know that the Very Online Types want to cope themselves into thinking it was all about Trump and the war, but that just isn't the case

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

This is a completely valid point, but my comment above was mostly about people who know what time it is and that we're not getting out of this without some hard times (though how hard remains to be seen).

You can sell people sacrifice and pain if they believe it leads somewhere or means something

Republicans have none of that to offer

[Stache Autonomy @StacheAutonomy]

@marcus_notes To an extent yes, but even enforcing the manners is harder because there is no shared enforcement. It's pretty much just my wife and me. When I was growing up, other adults could correct me. That doesn't exist anymore.
