You can design a cheap but energy-efficient house for warm regions with just good window placement and thermal mass - using NO wall insulation or double glazing at all. But this is now illegal in most of the USA. The new code forces everyone to blow money building a golden igloo. Image
Image
I don't just find this irritating on a financial level. These stuffy igloo houses don't breathe. They are disconnected from the environment. Like densification, the US energy code "saves the environment" in a way that diminishes your opportunity to enjoy that environment.
How it should be. Image

Hot tip. If marriage is random whichever ethnic group is the largest will intermarry the least.

WHY IS EVERYONE RETARDED Image
90% of people are purple and 10% are orange. I prophesy that a bigger fraction of orange people will intermarry than purple.

How do I know? Do I have a direct telephone line to God?
This reminds me of the logic puzzles they used to give me in school when I was... 6 years old.

Ideal tropical design that is extremely energy efficient - but illegal in America because the windows are not double-glazed. Very stupid energy code. Image
You probably don't believe me, so here's Grok. American performance modeling assumes no ventilation from windows and requires them to be double-glazed instead (unnecessary, expensive). Image
Image
American performance modeling ALSO doesn't reward good building geometry.

This is a travesty and makes no sense in ANY state. Image

The large majority of men can never be fully satisfied with their relationships if their women don't make explicit efforts to please them. But it has now become a point of modern ideology that women should never make such efforts. The result is predictable. What's in it for men?
Let me explain further. Human nature is such that when all things are equal, men experience more desire and women experience more pleasure. This observation goes back to the ancient Greeks. We don't notice this unless we pay explicit attention to it. Why?
Markets are driven by desire, not pleasure. In fact, markets often fail to serve pleasure and instead create pain. Consider consumerism. People buy things that don't bring them enough pleasure to justify the expense. They have a craving similar to an addiction.

Men never disliked dyed hair for fundamental reasons. It's common in artistic representations of very attractive women. They disliked it because they associated it with bad personalities and bad politics. So as soon as Amelia changes that, they're good to go. Image

Also, more chokers please. Image

WHO REALLY ENJOYS IT MORE?

Can AI answer the oldest question in the world? In this sciencey thread we're going to find out.👇 Image
Let's start with some peer-reviewed data. Everyone loves peer reviewed data!🧪

So, apparently men typically last 10-20 seconds while women last 20-60.

Ok, seems reasonable at first blush. Image
But... you might have noticed those numbers are different. By a factor of almost THREE.

Hmm...

I was a bit surprised by this so I asked ChatGPT to check the data three different times in two different sessions. And, it came up with very similar answers each time. Image

FEMINISM IS ALREADY A TRANS MOVEMENT

At some point feminism morphed from a movement seeking freedoms to one covertly aimed at masculinizing women. It's time to be open about the fact that this is a TRANS movement--just on a psychological level instead of a biological one. Image
The confusion derives from the dishonest name. "Feminism" sounds like it must be pro-female and pro-feminine. To be clear, that's certainly true of some strains. But it's not true of the dominant one today.
The strain of feminism that's dominant today valorizes masculinity in women and denigrates femininity in women. Explaining this point in detail would take many pages. But it's already obvious in the iconography, and I think you know it's true. Image
