Why didn't you marry her? Why is this a past tense story?

[Mario, PT @Mario_Sneh]

I once dated a woman who knew my routines better than I realized. Most evenings, I’d text her as soon as I got home from work. It wasn’t a rule, it was just something I’d always done.

One Thursday, I left the office later than usual. Right before heading home, I texted her, “Finally getting out of here.” Then, somewhere on the drive home, my phone died.

I didn’t think much of it. I figured I’d charge it when I got home and text her later. Instead, I walked through the door, dropped my keys on the counter, and accidentally fell asleep on the couch.

I often don’t watch videos like this because, they usually don’t interest me. But today I watched until the end. While I don’t see any major issue with people passionately expressing their beliefs, I do find it interesting how people who strongly identify with feminism rarely acknowledge that there is also a male version of sacrifices and struggles.

Just as women have many complaints about what being a woman entails, men also have difficulties they are expected to endure. If a woman doesn’t want to recognize that, that’s their choice. But the important point is: as a woman, you shouldn’t expect genuine reconciliation or understanding from men when you dismiss their own experiences.

Also, I’m an advocate of men not obsessing over women’s choices. This video has hundreds of men arguing against these women, and honestly, I even feel slightly uncomfortable being grouped with that reaction. My question is: why are you so invested in convincing people who have already stated their preferences?

As a man today, you shouldn’t try to convince a woman that your idea of what is right, ideal, or principled is the correct one. Let them do what they want. Nobody is asking you to commit to them. Sometimes, the excessive need to argue with women about their preferences can reveal an insecurity: you don’t have enough options and need women in general to change to what you want, so more of them become available to you. It can also mean that you don’t have the ruthlessness to live on your own terms and are intimidated by the fact they’ll beat you to it—by their sexual leverage and sheer social savviness.

You should live on your own terms and only be available to those compatible with it. Many men avoid admitting this and instead opt for endless debates and think pieces.

Ultimately, if someone doesn’t want to submit, believe, or live according to your values, why spend so much energy trying to force agreement? Let them live, and you live according to your own standards. You should only go directly against them if they try to socialise the consequences of their own decisions.

My self awareness has yet revealed to me another truth about myself

If this was self-orchestrated for clout or whatever reason, then this individual is wicked and probably hasn't realized just how much yet.

You are sabotaging someone's sales platform, possibly permanently, because who would see this review and still go ahead with the purchase?

bro there are actual tears in my eyes

Computer vision is a breakthrough we take for granted. How the hell did we get programs to read images with lethal accuracy?

[Rasmulan @mrrasmulan]

Hey @grok is it possible to do that????

[Steve @stephenwayar]

And I know many of us know these things, but we don't quite appreciate them.

Grinding became all that we knew, to the point that a little time spent outside of it starts to feel unproductive. Worse, it starts to feel wrong.

[Steve @stephenwayar]

You see that "shut everything off and grind" phase that's preached to young people in their 20s? You want to be really careful how you execute that injunction.

[Steve @stephenwayar]

There really has to be something that inspires you: family, friends, children, music, art, the goddamn weather.

[Steve @stephenwayar]

Genius bastards!

At least that's my latest conspiracy theory haha.

There's a melancholy soundtrack I like to play whenever I listen to a podcast. I'd have two YouTube tabs open: one playing the melancholy soundtrack and the other playing my podcast.

The subtle background tone gives a better experience when listening to pretty much any podcast.

By clearing the loop (repeat) state after two or three repeats, they are ensuring that you're not artificially adding view traffic to a single video. This would account for situations where you've stopped watching but left the video playing indefinitely.
