I'm not a follow back guy. For one thing, I don't post much so I don't give all that much of a damn if you follow me. For another, I like keeping my feed filtered to people who've already passed a vibe check.
My social batteries have limited capacity. I save that charge for where I know it's good.

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

So I hate to be That Guy, but we're entering into uncertain territory here with the Epstein Files, and it's more important than ever that we make sure we know all the facts before we blow things up.
I'm talking now about the "tips" that DOJ is now releasing. They sound super salacious and evil.

Relationships (all kinds!) are earned and maintained. Not owed.
The only exception is when someone takes part in forcing someone to exist. They owe that new someone a relationship until they're prepared for meeting the world alone.
That is the *only* exception.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

i think the issue with 'male loneliness' is it starts with a kernel of truth (that people, and men, are not doing ok and don't have services or support to address it) but extrapolates to validate a totally different problem when it claims that only straight up incels are experiencing it,
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

James Talarico is absolutely right. Sorry, but he is. We've had the message that our vote doesn't matter since we were able to vote beat into us & more often than not? A lot of us never took the time to question why.

I feel like my symptoms have shifted over the last year. I don't think I've had an explicitly manic episode in months... used to cycle between polar episodes with short mixed episodes between, but lately my time is 80% depressive with some mixed.
