Haha I'm right there with you. It's like someone going "Hey, remember when you used to do heroin and hate yourself? I know you've gone to rehab and cleaned yourself up, but wanna try this new Heroin-Lite?"

Jesus fucking Christ. This reminds me of "Whites Only" bathrooms and water fountains. It's nothing more than trying to dehumanize people by attacking their basic needs.

I only know one guy who is into blacksmithing and - being a nerd myself, I saw this with kindness - but this dude is a super nerd. He's also one of the scrawniest dudes I know. I've heard him tell women that he's into blacksmithing before and it definitely does not have the desired effect that this chart would imply.

You always have to consider Rule #1 when taking these things into account.

We live in a world where we're looking for Mitch McConnell to do the right thing? Oh yeah, we're absolutely fucked.

My middle-school aged kids explained the difference between cooked and cookin' to me the other day, and now they really get to roll their eyes when I intentionally use them in as corny ways as possible.

Bonus points for coming with other, terrible, slang. You can really get a cringe if you say something like "Chat, we're cookin' now - I'm all rizzed up”

...the worst impulses of Hitler and the Nazis could be "controlled" or "tamed" once they bore responsibility for leading the national government (rather than criticizing others' administration of it).

I'm sure it'll be different this time around /s

Holy crap that's amazing

Sunk cost fallacy hits people hard.

It's true. I never deleted my reddit posts and comments because I spent like 13 years with that account. A part of my brain says "don't delete those, you might need them later." It's like a natural hording instinct.

It's easier to lie to a person than convince a person they've been lied to.

It's always Projection, isn't it?

Keep in mind that's Income Tax. Most rich people don't actually have income, they have capital gains.
