  • I mean… even if they’re not moving a lot of units, its still broadly a good problem to have -> considerably more people than you thought, want to buy the thing you sell.

    So at bare minimum you’ve over delivered in terms of product design.

    The extremely obvious capitalist response to that would be to raise prices on that thing. Win win, right? The extra profits go toward more capex to make more future production.

    … But they haven’t done that.

    They haven’t done that because they care about their image more than their profit margins on this particular product.

    And/or because in the current environment… basically, the cost/reward on spending more capex isn’t worth the reputation hit.

    The capex spending to meaningfully ramp up production would be so expensive, that it’d end up being a net loss, in terms of reputation damage.

    … At least this is my semi-informed guess.

    Oh, humans can have basically one bone.

    They are horrible and agonizing conditions, perhaps similar to being slowly partially or totally mummified by your own body.

    Ankylosing Spondylitis, Pfeiffer Syndrome, Klippel-Feil Syndrome, etc.

    Imagine your bones all fusing together. You can’t bend, or maybe walk, move your jaw, or maybe even breathe.




  • Agreed, peaked at 7.

    And its been literally all downhill from there.

    I actually could not believe what was happening, when they rolled out 8 on us.

    “We’ve removed… the windows… from Windows.”

    Saying that outloud made my boss very angry.

    We spent a month pleading to let us go back to 7, to use some kind of standard, non tablet UI.

    For a month they told is that didn’t exist in 8, the UI was all totally new and redesigned from the ground up, and no we can’t go back to 7.

    But, they were lying, of course. There was a sequence you could do to override the new UI that had indeed been slapdashed over 7’s UI, to go back to 7’s UI.

    (Where 7’s UI is modified XP UI, which is modified 98 UI… etc)

    We figured it out, they’d patch it to not work, some other email chain would figure out some other override, they’d patch that out.

    After about a month of that they actually admitted that the 7 UI was indeed still there and was not just some kind of emergency fall back mode.

    Some months later, 8.1 is basically just them making the 7 UI mode fully work.

    Again, I literally could not believe how stupid this all was, to the point of sometimes literally dissociating.

    Or maybe Windows 8 was my personal Vietnam, or something, lol.









  • Guy probably would not need the gatorade if the woman was Amazon riding him or something, and doing all the actual physical work of fucking.

    Gal would then probably need the gatorade.

    Yeah, men have a refractory period, women essentially do not, can’t really fundamentally change that, though guys can do kegels and such to last longer/maintain erection/do their own orgasm control.

    Guys also can get off 7 to 10 times in a row.

    It’d just take longer, due to the refractory period, and would also literally require more physical work.

    You ever literally fucked for an entire today?

    You both need breaks and gatorade, guy and gal.


  • And the corrollary to that, that even less people want to talk about, is that straight, traditional cis men and women will then mock and shame men who actually do try think outside the box.

    So, many men are victims of patriarchy, and many women are perpetrators of patriarchy.

    Then you get to the incredibly confusing ‘now’, where many women will claim to be a feminist, yet will also mock and shame men who do not conform to stereotypical cishet male lifestyle/relationship norms.

    Actual feminism vs Pop feminism.

    Actual feminism seeks to identify and challenge and critique societal gender roles and norms. All societal gender roles and norms.

    Pop feminism is basically psuedo (meaning ‘impostor’ or ‘fake’) feminism, that pretty much just boils down to misandry, using a set of buzzwords and terms basically bastardized from actual feminism.


  • Well see thats the thing.

    I am autistic.

    Autistic people tend to only info dump when its either a very low stakes, close to anonymous environment… or, when they actually really really trust or admire someone. In the latter case, the infodumping itself is a sign that they basically like you, are comfortable with you.

    To me, normies that peacock most or all of their personality… they just think their masks are themselves. They seem to barely even be aware of what they are doing.

    Whats actually happening is that really, only the mask actually exists.

    Theres not very much underneath, beyond basically the mindset of an immature child/teenager.

    And that kind of a person, frankly, is so mentally childlike, that at least to me, I can’t be turned on by or sexually attracted to that… they’re just a child in an adult body. They have too little self awareness and self understanding for me to view them as a responsible adult capable of giving informed consent.
