Trump overheard telling Eric: "This is like losing your uncle Epstein all over again."

There are other causes here.

They've been talking for a while about how the low participation in dating by Gen Z women is because they're tired of being the entire support system for men experiencing a loneliness epidemic.

It's a lot of pressure for the women to be under, and so they're withdrawing.

I'm guessing this is one of the driving forces as well. Lack of real, emotionally intimate human connections around them. Many men are quite fucked in that regard right now.

I ordered a laptop from BB for an executive at work, they tried delivering it on a Saturday and texted me about it, offered to deliver elsewhere instead, so I'm like, sure bring it to my house. Then when they get there, it's a third party delivery service (not Doordash but like it) - woman and her boyfriend - hat out looking for a tip. Umm I didn't ASK for some weird tip-based delivery service, I thought they were UPSing that shit. I can't put tips on my corporate card, for laptop delivery fees?! So I looked like the asshole after they booked it across town. Haven't ordered from Best Buy again, what a terrible customer experience.

Lend your car out freely. Cosign for things. Make it clear you don't like condoms.

One could argue that having gone through puberty as a male people might have a bigger frame which could be advantageous in some cases (basketball, track) but in my mind, this is more an argument for puberty blockers than against athletics

The state will fail to accomplish anything meaningful in prosecution - a bad deal or bungled case. Plus there's the notoriety the case is already generating. She'll need to file a civil suit as well, and she'll need someone making sure everything is OK on her end (the attacker doesn't counter-sue for instance).

I've been the victim of hate crime, you think you're gonna get a justice boner and fight it to the core, but in reality the simplest/safest answer for the victim is to shut up and make it disappear. You're already traumatized, fighting is confusing and painful.

Additionally he's pissing off the last of the boardroom-class GOP, anyone not affected by the tariffs are now watching him tell the biggest retailer in the world they should cut back on profits, fucking profits man, that's the thing you never cut. This is some super questionable strategy on many levels. Tho the stock market is clearly ready to keep the band playing well into the ship's sinking.

She’s also right at the age where it often presents itself. But yes stress can cause it to appear or suddenly spread.

Up until they started adding AI features it's pretty similar. I'm ambivalent about those features. They're handy as hell, but the SaaS model eats dead donkey asshole, and they're tied together. I always find a client who will just pay for my CS subscription for me, so it's not really like I've suffered much, but what a stupid fucking tax just to get CA-delete.

That would be the um, joke

It's pretty bleak yes, our own families sold us out for this shit in their malicious ignorance, I just heard a VA employee tell me an email went out advising all hospital staff to remove rainbow lanyards or stickers or anything "safe space" identifying in their offices, because some patient had complained. This came out while we're helping my gay veteran friend get ready to die of cancer. Cause he shouldn't feel safe in the hospital or anything.

Unfortunately that includes a lot of women, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
