One thing I think a lot about is epistemic humility - being more interested in truth than "winning", ego be damned. I keep thinking "If you're wrong, would you want to know?", both towards others and myself. Ignoring better arguments is a sign of cowardice, not righteousness 🧭
@Noahpinion It's called lazemaxxing and was intentionally induced by slapping one orbital socket repeatedly for weeks with a bag of frozen peas in order to appear more devil-may-care to the opposite sex, thus increasing potential dating yield. Jesus Noah, get with the times.

@HistoryBoomer My initial guess on being aware of Piker with that demographic would be closer to 60-75%, but now you've got me questioning how terminally online and out of touch with normies I am? 👀 Curious to hear the results 🤔
@jk_rowling Salted Caramel Axe Body Spray definitely upped my shuffle dancing game 🕺 It may have assisted onloookers in dying of laughter but beyond that it was 100% my body, my choice 👍 Also just realized I may be dyslexic 🤔 Whoops.
@campbellclaret@jk_rowling@RestIsPolitics@SarahEMcBride "He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. [...] If he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, or does not even know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either" TRIP should invite opposition on that challenge your priors.
@IonaItalia In my experience that holds true regardless of subjective beauty levels of the person - I'll always prefer the unmade, casual aesthetic overall. Special events can be fun to get "done up" for, but they don't tend to do much for me attraction-wise.
@IonaItalia For some of us it's more about preference than being observant. Prefer none, some amount I don't mind, past a certain point it's a significant issue that impedes attraction I might otherwise have. But I'm most attracted to women bare faced and lounging in a tee and boxers sooo 🤷
I really wish this platform/world had more Helen Pluckroses. Great thread well worth a quick read regardless if you agree with her stated opinons. I aspire to be more like her in the way I go about my interactions in the world (though probably often fail 😁).
I never advocate compromise. I advocate leaving people alone to believe, speak, live as they see fit provided this does no material harm to anyone else nor denies them the same freedom. When it does, we say no.

@JenniferSey I'd respect them more if they just came out and said they want to do away with sex-segregated spaces/sports. I wouldn't agree with them, but I'd at least respect their frankness and ideological consistency. Instead? Whatever... *this* is. 🤦
The left insists on making the same exaggerated categorical error with "Conversion therapy" that they did with "women" and act surprised at the predictable social and legal pushback. Constant defense of ill conceived notions will continue to undercut their trust and electibility.
Conversion therapy is discredited junk science that inflicts harm on LGBTQ youth.
The Supreme Court’s decision is disappointing and puts vulnerable kids at risk.

@HistoryBoomer Whatever percentage of that 39% that's male would be wrong to bite you according to their morality. Then again, that's what they say publicly so who knows what % would if you started playing footsie with them in an airport bathroom stall 🙃 "Though doth protest too much..."
@mechanical_monk Peter's Prism on Youtube is definitely worth checking out if you and/or your girl are interested in menswear 👌 You'll definitely end up with a chore coat if you do though 😂
