Me too. I had a moment yesterday. There was this event at which all the amateur dancers in the area had gathered. I realized the girls there liked me and I'm still good looking but the top amateur male dancers are mogging me because they are training like athletes and are 10+ years younger. I can't compete on youth but still have athleticism and appearance, so there is no excuse to let hedonism get the best of me when I am in the ring with this kind of competition. And these Gen Z hoes don't play - they're not like Millennial girls I grew up with: they care more about looks than hedonism, all the top ones are in great shape ! If you are hot you can still do reasonably well with mediocre looksmaxxing (not none at all) but why settle for mediocrity?

This is what I feel like doing tonight instead of going out...

Yeah, the pretense of "we are playing a serious sport" when I know that you know that I know it's all fake - that's just intolerable. The WWE at least owns it.

Based on my experiences these past 2+ years, I probably could be a male whore. The issue for me is disgust: Let's be honest - would you want to sleep with Jay's sloppy seconds? I would feel disgusted even if I found the girl attractive. This has been an unexpected side effect of hookup culture for me, but I can't shake it. There was a time when I could at least make-believe that this next chick I met is sweet and innocent. But now that's gone.

I had a Lexus for over 9 years and it was already 7 years old when I bought it used. All I had to do with that car was routine maintenance - it literally had no other issues the entire time I drove it until right before I sold it. There was an issue with the back left wheel by that time, and I sold it to an old tow truck driver who had mechanic sons - he was going to have them fix it up and continue to drive it until it fell apart.

I am boycotting the rest of the NBA finals. Already by the conference finals I was thinking "this is rigged" when I watched OKC deliberately play to lose in game 7. Wembanyama had several flagrant fouls in the playoffs, enough that he should have been ejected from the postseason, but they let it pass. Then, the Spurs blew a 30 point lead to lose in the final seconds of the second game at MSG. Yeah, I'm done. It's all fake and gay. Oh, WWE is scripted, fake and gay, but pro sports aren't. Suuuuure they aren't. At least if the NHL is scripted, they don't make it so goddamned obvious.

I got in the habit of mixing up shakes from powder as part of my pre-studio routine. Though I got addicted to going out I am staying home tonight to watch NHL rather than go out because I practiced for hours last night and my feet are sore af. But I may buy Premier also if I can find it at a good price; nearest Costco is 20-25 minutes away and so I haven't been a member since I moved - not that this is a bad drive, as I go farther than that regularly, but it's an area I don't often go out of habit - if I still went to Lifetime it would work because it's in the same area. More generally, I realized that because of AI all of a sudden hiring in IT is starting up again - instead of destroying jobs as some say, it seems to be creating them, at least for people in software. Therefore, I need to focus on AI and business more this summer and less on shitpoasting. Not that I want to but it's essential - you can get $200K/year remote jobs right now. I am passing up stupid money if I don't get serious. Even if the AI bubble crashes it won't go away, it will be a temporary hardship like Dot Com in the 2000s and the surviving firms will go on to build the future. Based on your landscaping posts I almost want to get into landscaping because there are some serious issues in my yard, but the problem is with other commitments I don't think I will be able to fit it in, especially if it gets addictive. And I have heard that about yard work from other people in my neighborhood as well. /Rambling

Aruvin Chan says that sexual attractiveness in men is "mostly looks, and looks is mostly face". He likes to imply he's really hot. Which is interesting because he is "mid". The only time he was passably good-looking was in his youth when he was lean. Maybe he is just good at attracting women with bad taste? We pretend those don't exist but I have some bad news....

It seems like they have implemented some kind of automated review process to accompany their old automated reporting process. A lot of people got terminated by false reporting in the past. It may be that they do automatic reviews on batches of accounts that were terminated to see if banning was warranted, and reversing some of them. One thing Elon seems to understand is that you can't massacre your entire userbase over trivial BS, which the shitlibs who ran it before him did not - under their leadership Twitter would have already been dead by now, same as Reddit basically is (which I don't visit anymore, all the subs and users I knew were banned years ago). I said around late Covid ~2021, that there's basically 2-3 more viable years for this platform at the rate they are going.

The 2000s had ups and downs, good and bad; it seems we can all agree though that the 2010s were a shit era.

Oscar was bi - maybe only sexual deviants (if bi is deviant by your definition) can be realists about women...

The 1990s seems like a Golden Age because the economy was better, society was more stable, there wasn't all the racial tension, America was a lot whiter, and inflation was mostly low. I did enjoy some of that era but it is long gone and not coming back. I actually think the 2020s might be the best era since then, myself, because it actually feels like history is happening again (even if the happenings are largely bad; "chaos is a ladder", etc). The 2000s-2010s came across as more stagnant because there was an era of ingrained leftism and oligarchy and it felt like it would never change. The 2020s feel revolutionary and exciting, at least that's how I see it - I'm not sure an era in which things are happening can ever be "easy". Even the 1990s had a lot of crises that we kind of pretend didn't happen (currency crises in the EU, economic crises in Latin America and Asia, the collapse of LTCM in America which was a prelude to 2008, etc).
