@Typo-MAGAshiv Never worked out what YOLO meant. Never bothered to google it. I think sometimes kids like to have their own language and I leave them to it. The only thing I won't stand for is being called "Bro" by a daughter. I always reply "Sis" and they find it funny and annoying in equal measure. It would appear that "bro" is now gender neutral and this upsets the right wing pedant in me.

How voluntary are most MGTOW monks? This is the big question about celibacy. I think in most cases celibacy lies on intersecting spectra of willingness and discomfort. When talking about normal men (say 80-90%). We all want sex and we can all obtain it, its just a case of the price point and the terms and conditions.

But yes, I think you are right, its best not to pollute the word incel. In my case I find myself thinking that if I do become celibate (and I have given it some thought) it will not be an entirely happy situation but it will set me free to be myself after 25 years of being a provider and father. The price will probably be worth paying for some years at least.

I can't escape the fact that even on the rare occasions when I have been the closest thing that I can get to being a a smooth manly Chad and seducing the pants of women and making them hopelessly willing to give themselves up to me (yeah I said rare occasions), I have only actually been doing what they wanted me to do. There is a performative component to succeeding with women, even when you make it look easy. Who wants to be an actor all the time, playing the role of some woman's leading man instead of being himself?

@Typo-MAGAshiv one anivaxx fashion has passed people more realistically started to approach existence of it.

I never got it, but listened to stories of people honest and close enough to believe that I believe it to he shit. I ve never got it even tho I've resupplied a mate in the midst of his infection, that day he told me he has just about enough energy to move around his flat like a centipede, falling asleep exhausted on a floor, while crawling 5m to the toilet.

virus less deadly

While I can't believe sack of shit authorities, I would debate that one on a statistical basis. We know one could get it several times in a short succession and it was more viral (I think so anyway). Just from this you might get more deaths per capita.

The rest of the hoax was just a pretence to make money. Once pattern emerged and some people understood how extra money can be made, the did just that.

Big maybe is that if USA, in fact, was involved in Wuhan experiments (or not but CIA knew scope of experiments there) it was safer not to talk about "know how" till situation clarifies.

Academic.

BTW I remember a bug time low key fondly : had a very good spree in a daygame despite the lockdowns, was most of the time out of my home, split with SUPERLTR that would be a pain going forward with, started TRP more seriously.
