LOL! The answer to the 'cat lady' mystery.

lol, yep.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

From Virgil: Who watches the Watchmen was originally in the context of Women pulling bullshit, not politics:
:
"Bolt her in, constrain her!" But who will guard the guardians?
The wife plans ahead and begins with them. "

This meme would be more impressive if Russian military performed better in Ukraine. Having a Mongol blooded defense minister looks daunting when compared to those who look like middle-aged housewives at a book club, but the bog down in that invasion takes the wind out of that sail.

There's no good thread to bitch about womynz but this one comes closest. Major pet peeve of mine and a yuge biological and cultural difference between men and womyn:

Man: "Do not ask me what I'm looking for or what I'm doing, I'll let you know if and when I need help (which is mostly never)". Drives me nuts when they observe you when you're looking for something, I associate that with nosiness.

Or - the other way round:
Womynz: "Didn't you feelz I needed help why didn't you help me with my task!" Man: "you didn't ask". lol

PoMo Indoctrination: Obese Women Majestic, Fat Guys "-10000"

You may have heard of the Brat whose husband and father-in-law were building a house and had just spent all day on the kitchen counter, and left her a note to put away some items and clean up a bit. Perhaps an hour tops of putting away hand tools and sweeping the floor.

Instead, she had a Princess Fit on TikTok and refused to put away the tools or sweep, spending likely more than an hour moaning that Princess Fancy Pants, herself, might have to help out with the home being built for her.

Well, finally the husband grew a pair, and realized Princess was no longer a good wife, since she traded 7M hits on TikTok (mostly "You go girl!" from sob sisters and simpy "If you were my wife, I'd lick the sawdust off your boots" from blue pills) and validation for the actual efforts of her husband and his family.

Ordinarily, prime-age men are society’s providers, but a steady retreat from the workforce has been underway among this crucial contingent for over half a century. Today work rates for prime-age American men are actually lower than in 1940, when America’s unemployment rate stood at almost 15 percent.

Yes: prime-age American men have a Depression-scale work problem today. But unlike in the Depression, the postwar collapse of work for men has little to do with unemployment per se. Rather, it has been driven by an exodus from the labor force. At the time of writing, for every unemployed prime-age American man looking for a job, there are over four neither working nor looking for work (NILFs: “not in labor force”).

For two generations the flight from work has exhibited uncanny regularity. Six years ago, when my book Men Without Work first appeared, I showed that rising prime-age male NILF rates traced out a near-constant path from 1965 through 2015 — practically a straight line, steadily heading upwards, all but unaffected by business cycles or other notable events. Today, unaccountably, it remains on almost exactly the same trajectory as in 2016: six world-shaking years and one global pandemic later! At present, the prime-age male NILF rate is at three and a half times its 1965 level.

This is mostly a result of feminism, which devalues men's contribution to a marriage and children so that women can work until they hit the wall and come home to an apartment full of cats.

"Why women are becoming increasingly selective"

It's one hell of a Cope and Gaslight: Article claims Less Men in the Dating Pool, yet the same article insists that Competition is Fierce.

If there are fewer Chinese Takeouts in the neighborhood, doesn't that mean the ones that remain have more pricing power and customers? Not when the Hamster Wheel Turns!

Oh, and the comment censorship is full bore according to the comments.

Don't be fooled by Old Bags, guys. Perimenopause means their vag wall becomes thinner and looser, their sex drive goes way down (despite media claims to the contrary, stats and blood work on average say different), but their spending and pampering demands if anything, go up.

Fact. Many older guys who stayed in shape but are loyal to their wives have told me that.

Lol, feminism is the harbinger of the death of a society:

An increase in the influence of women in
public life has often been associated with na-
tional decline. The later Romans complained
that, although Rome ruled the world, women
ruled Rome. In the tenth century, a similar
tendency was observable in the Arab Empire,
the women demanding admission to the
professions hitherto monopolised by men.
‘What,’ wrote the contemporary historian,
Ibn Bessam, ‘have the professions of clerk,
tax-collector or preacher to do with women?
These occupations have always been limited
to men alone.’ Many women practised law,
while others obtained posts as university
professors. There was an agitation for the
appointment of female judges, which,
however, does not appear to have succeeded.
Soon after this period, government and
public order collapsed, and foreign invaders
overran the country. The resulting increase
in confusion and violence made it unsafe for
women to move unescorted in the streets,
with the result that this feminist movement
collapsed.

‘Scream groups’ are forming across the world, where women gather in parks and public places to release their frustrations

Exhausted and overwhelmed, Gretchen Miller felt the frustration of the past three years rise up within her. On a whim the 54-year-old from Sydney posted a message to her local community Facebook group. “Does anyone else feel like screaming?” she asked.

The responses poured in. “I want to scream because of climate change and economic inequality,” one woman wrote. “Because of real estate agents and landlords,” said another. “My fiancé decided he didn’t love me anymore,” read one reply. Miller said she received more than 100 messages in the first hour.

From that callout, the Shout Sisters group was formed. A month later they met for the first time at an inner city park to bellow their frustrations into the Australian night.

Nothing screams 'sanity' like a screaming group. Do they plan to do it topless?

Well, women are usually topless when one gives then a screaming orgasm.

Interesting that Gisele's Ju Jitsu Guys began training her about a year and a half ago. That she started complaining about Brady's football only about a year ago, when he's played the entire time they've known each other. And two weeks of the divorce, why, the Ju Jitsu guy is with their kids vacationing together in Costa Rica.

It doesn't matter how many NFL rings you win, how many hundreds of millions you have and will earn in endorsements for the rest of your life, that you look as good or better than most James Bond actors, and that you are currenly at the peak of your profession despite lasting at it far, far longer than most----

a woman will always find an Excuse to Make Herself Up To Be A Victim before (or after) she Cheats/Dumps you.

Keep this in mind guys, especially the young ones.

Anybody who would marry a vampiric trophy wife like Gisele gets what they deserve. Somebody shoulda knocked him in the head off field.

Same, been buying the Japanese version (Kewpie) for the past couple of years and only noticed 2 weeks ago it's soy based too. Going to try to recreate that though, like the yolk version better. I'd think with a little lemon or apple cider vinegar it might last a while in the refrigerator?

Never heard of kewpie mayo. I had all the ingredients on hand so just made that recipe. I like it - very eggy. It made a good tuna sandwich.

I've been making lots of fermented veggies lately, and the fermented food community seems to emphasize the salt and acid levels are what keeps many types of bacteria at bay. About 2% salt by weight seems sufficient for fermented veggies, although I can still get mold near the surface in the first few days. After a week once the lactic acid builds up from the fermentation process, it seems to become significantly more resistant to mold. I'm not sure how the levels of vinegar and salt and lemon in mayo compares, but I always read not to keep homemade mayo for long unless you add preservatives. Then again, I've always felt the food safety nazis are overly conservative. I eat lots of really old shit.

Nice! I ferment red cabbage like it's going out of style the past year. I eat a few table spoons with dinner every night - great for the gut and also vit-k1 and much more vit-C that you get from OJ.

Plan to start some other veg ferments and kimchi this year now that I've moved and have more space than I had in CA apartments.

Re: feminism. Guy's gotta know how to cook / make food these days. It's funny whenever I start dating anyone on the regular; I can sense how they feel like a failure (some just say it) not being able to make decent food. I make pretty damn good stuff and notice others on here like 10lb do as well.

https://spectatorworld.com/topic/why-do-wives-still-take-their-husbands-last-names-feminism/

By changing her name, the wife, whether intentionally or not, communicates that she is participating in the perpetuation of a reality that connects one generation to another. From time immemorial, fathers have hoped to preserve their legacies through their children and grandchildren — from their wealth and possessions to physical and temperamental qualities. But all that has been manifested most simply in a name. “He comes from a long line of [fill in the last name].”

Of course, to most feminists, that’s the problem. That men resist taking their wives’ names is wrapped up in men’s “egos, ideas about masculinity, family traditions, all kinds of things that are influencing the ways men think about themselves and think about their names in particular,” Princeton historian Tera Hunter explains to WaPo. It represents the legacy of coverture, domestic laws originating in pre-colonial English legal custom, which viewed a married woman’s identity and existence as legally “covered” by her husband.

And yet, if the practice, like so much other dissipating residue of the patriarchy, goes by the wayside, we will be only further intensifying the atomizing tendencies of liberal, global postmodernity. We think jettisoning the final remnants of “chauvinist” power structures will push us ever closer to freedom, but what we are encountering on the other side is deeper loneliness and disconnection. Of course, if the sages of our therapeutic age are correct, we can just fashion our own purpose from the shards of that broken glass ceiling…right?

Wokery, the Marxist campaign to disorder society in order to overthrow existing institutions and replace them with a utopian dictatorship of the intersectionally oppressed — also known as The Revenge of the Losers. Its primary tactic is to normalize mental illness. Wokery is often described as a new kind of religion, but that’s mainly because all of its proffers and principles are irrational, as is characteristic of all religions. Also, as in many religions, Wokery in practice is preoccupied with coercion and punishment — which is natural for a movement based on vengeance — and often to a sadistic degree. It laughs at the idea of redemption. Its adversaries are never forgiven, only dealt additional punishments for asking.

The mystery here is how Wokery was incorporated into the operating system of the Democratic Party. The answer is the party needed something to replace its erstwhile corpus of organized industrial workers, gone with the winds of Globalism, and so it valorized the various categories of the mentally ill, the permanently downtrodden, and sundry persons who had become economic hostages to its corrupt system of payments and grants. High above that ragtag-and-bobtail of crazies reigned an aristocracy of the so-called cognitive elite, people of unquestioned virtue, college professors, the creative class, the credentialed echelon — super-busy signaling their good intentions to their vassals to keep them in line.

Wokery, you may have noticed, is also a “religion” dominated by women, and a particular strain of women: those left grossly disappointed by the promises of feminism in its several iterations, that is, the ideal of having brilliant careers minus family and children — producing an implacable, inchoate, and transmissible rage at the world and a fierce wish-to-punish others not so disposed to Woke dogma. So, it’s no surprise that so much of that dogma emanated from the humanities departments of the universities where such careerist feminist intellectuals flocked and marinated in their disappointments. Thus, too, their avatar: the ever cold-blooded and fiendish Hillary Clinton, forever seeking requital for her life’s losses.

I want him to be fine with no kids, but also to be overjoyed if my 40 year old ass gets highly unlikely pregnant for the first...
I want him to have a nice welcoming family, but one we only have to see only three times a year at most...
I want him to take care of all the squeaky drawers and doors in the house, while I garden if the fit takes me.
I want him to take me away to exotic faraway destinations at least once a year... while we work on paying off (my) debt.
I want him to have a job he enjoys, while making lots of money, but also having only 40 hours a week, maybe a little less.

And the kicker... put up with my self-diagnosed PTSD while helping me inform him he is nuts also and needs a the-rapist like me.

LOL! Clue, they never change, even age only changes things a smidgen, it's genetic. "I'll either pair or reproduce according to my fantasy, or I won't pair or reproduce at all."

Remember, they're the ones who only have to roll over and not clench to reproduce.

Dude, from what I'm reading and seeing, the OLDER the get, the MORE requirements they have.

20 year old chicks: "Be hot and spoil me a little"
30 year old chicks: "Be hot, spoil me and the kids a lot as a good father, pay off my debts"
40+ year old chicks: "Be hot, a good husband, but also a father if I have a miracle post-40 baby, pay off my debts, have a nice family but not one that's too large or we have to visit too much, help me work on my mental issues and help me discover HIS mental illnesses..."

If it floats, flies, or fucks, lease it!

Really amazing the lack of self-reflection; women's go to tactic when things get harder for them is to RAISE their standards.

It's a shame you have to get older to learn that. The vampirism never dies. It's the cost of being a fungible drone, you can only get recourse in temporary bouts of grandiosity and resource attainment.

These social myths of the 'horny older woman, released from child bearing' are complete bullshit. The older ones and the games they play are still high school for all intents and purposes. They want some show of male pursuit while swanning, snobbing and shit testing, and there are a few old goats who are well trained who still do it. The old birds around Santa Cruz sure milk the old guys for labor and perks, and when the old guys ask them out, it's usually snubsville if they aren't well off. Same ole Same ole. The poor bachelor across the street has been passed around as a free handy man, never scored. Hope never dies in some. I guess it gives him something to do.

Idk from what I’ve seen with my single coworkers, getting laid from these women at 35+ is as easy as pushing a slinky down the stairs. They desperate. If you find one that has a bunch of demands, drop her and move on quickly. You don’t want that kind.

Ceffer says

It's a shame you have to get older to learn that.

Well yeah, last time I was single I was 31, so I wasn't trying to chase down the Eagle-Clawed Old Ladies. I had no idea.

But holy shit, these 40+ chicks have a laundry list of demands. And not just the ones who still look okay, the big ones do as well. Damn!!! They should be lucky if I show up, much less bust them out, they should be paying for my meals.
