I always wonder about people like this. For all intents and purposes, they appear to be leftish, but then they absolutely fucking REFUSE to listen to anyone about masks during this pandemic. Like, this shit has been explained ad nauseum already

Why remain willfully ignorant about mitigations for a disease that is killing and disabling millions every year? This asshole keeps responding with snarky, antagonist quips, talking about "the science", which he continually ignores

Fun fact: I was in a meeting with a CTO and CEO, and when I asked about their unlimited PTO policy, CEO hand waived it away. Afterwards, the CTO took me a side and said it was so the CEO wouldn't have to pay out PTO anymore when he fired people. So be careful with unlimited PTO

https://twitter.com/micahdotcom/status/1923045376828772478

Majority of companies only enact these policies to explicitly screw their employees over. Most of the companies I worked at had unlimited PTO, and unless there was ALREADY a culture of everyone taking vacation time (especially from the top down), it was just a scam

This, to me, has been the inevitable end game of Western schooling practices, even before genAI was introduced. I've been speaking about this since I was a teenager, and seeing how the current educational systems were hurting my peers

https://twitter.com/Seamus_Malek/status/1920134923354009783

Their emphasis isn't on learning. their primary emphasis is on GPA and job placement. This is why curriculums are overloaded with standardized test subjects and students are bombarded with too much homework

I always forget how judgmental people can be when you practice nontraditional relationships. Whenever one of my dating threads goes viral, I invariably get a ton of backlash for saying I've dated & slept with hundreds of women. Incels say I'm lying, certain feminists call me a creep or a sex pest. And then I get a bunch of people saying it's bc no one wanted me and clearly I must be a shallow prick. And lots of leftists claim I'm saying this to brag in a disgusting and unethical way. So I'd like to set the record straight once and for all

It's so hilarious bc me, a fat brown dude, has dated A LOT of models and athletes over the years. I used to feel incredibly self conscious about it bc these women were fiiiit, and then there was me. I asked a few about it when I was feeling insecure, they all said the same thing

https://twitter.com/justalexoki/status/1916199471676813661

And it's even funnier bc it's the same thing being said by THOUSANDS of women in the replies. The issue isn't that women are lying, it's that men DONT FUCKING LISTEN TO WOMEN, and that, is why they fail

People need to understand this. EVERY OTHER MITIGATION against COVID—HEPA filters, nasal sprays, far UVC, K12 lozenges, vaccines, social distancing, etc—all of it is ORDERS OF MAGNITUDES less effective than wearing a fucking respirator. So just wear a respirator mask

https://twitter.com/suchnerve/status/1905392548241092703

And everything else is backup JUST IN CASE the mask fails. The mask should be the priority. This is how my family has stayed COVID free for the majority of this pandemic. We wear respirators (KN95, N95, N99, floMask) whenever we leave the house. That's our number one defense

This is legit the secret of my success. If you don't love women, what even is the fucking point? Was just talking with a client this week who is realizing he's been treating women differently and has only been seeing them for what they can offer instead of as full human beings 🧵

https://twitter.com/emilyreadey/status/1887243888358007257

Too many men see women only as objects, or as care takers, or as a means of sexual gratification, which is exactly why they struggle with creating real connection. As my client is just discovering, how can you form genuine, human connections with an object? ... You can't.

I've been a dating coach for over a decade, and one of my fortes is breaking down texts for guys so they can understand what they did wrong AND how to fix it (on a fundamental level, not with rote lines). So let's dig into this guy's issues. A 🧵

https://twitter.com/yslj0rdan/status/1885188208645779882

First, let's start with the context of each of these numbers. From the replies, this dude said he got all the numbers from cold approaching (which is hitting on strangers in public) and has never been on a date with them. Cold approach numbers are often flaky just in general

Yup, I was in my 30s when my back went out. Doctor was no help, ended up with a chiropractor bc adjustments helped, but only for a few days to a week tops. So I was literally seeing this chiropractor 1-2 times a week. After a few months I asked him what the plan was

https://twitter.com/human_clickbait/status/1878866234613420493

You know what he told me? He said this IS the plan. "You come and see me once or twice a week for the rest of your life." I was like JFC! This shit is a scam! So that's when I was like "fine, I'll do my own fucking research". So I spent a couple weeks reading the literature

Thanks to your donations we were able to get a PlusLife tester awhile back and it's been a game changer! Finally a test where u can TRUST a negative result! But I've seen people struggle w false positives from air bubbles, so here's a 🧵 w everything u need to know: For those who don't know, PlusLife is a portable nucleic acid test that is incredibly accurate, on par with some of the best PCR tests. There is a website and app that go with it that enables you to see the raw data from the test instead of just seeing a "positive" or "negative"

I actually hate conspiracy theories bc they're usually poorly researched & rely on domain ignorance more than anything else. This chain of events, however, is so incredibly suspect. Like there's no way a stranger would ID Luigi AND authorities taking it so seriously right away 🧵

https://twitter.com/YesYoureRacist/status/1867234126086254976

You're telling me a stranger ID'd this average Joe from afar who is fully masked and hooded, alerted McDonald's staff, who then contacted police, who then took this tip (out of probably hundreds) super seriously and showed up before he was even done w his fucking hash browns?!!

I can tell you right now, as a professional dating coach for the past decade, this kind of thinking is why so many people struggle and never get better. And also, it's just objectively false. I was single for the majority of my life until I learned the SKILLS required 🧵

https://twitter.com/The_Acumen/status/1857475571749691767

And yes, most of the things holding people back from having a successful and fruitful dating/married life are SKILLS! And, luckily, bc they are skills, they can be LEARNED. Once you've learned all the skills required, there is actually VERY LITTLE luck involved. For example:

I love how I've been trying to write a reply to this tweet for a half hour now bc long covid destroyed my ability to read & write. Most days I can't comprehend more than a single tweet worth of information at a time. And hundreds of millions of people have long covid now! 🧵

https://twitter.com/resurrecti0ns/status/1855675507422961733

Reading is no longer going to be an easily accessible hobby for most after MULTIPLE covid infections destroy their brains and ability to focus and comprehend the written word. This is why we've been telling everyone to fucking mask and to mitigate covid spread

Honestly surprised to see so many anti-porn people giving me shit for saying that the rise in undateable, toxic men is due to the rise of fascism and far right indoctrination among young men and NOT porn. Talk about brain rot lol. Anyways, a🧵 to piss off the haters... Once my brain is working again, I'll do a research thread with all the data. It's VERY CLEARLY fascism & far right ideology that is rotting men's brains, NOT porn. Like there is so much data showing men are being indoctrinated into this stuff recently at alarming rates,

This is exactly what I want as well. People do best when their romantic relationship is with a PARTNER. The whole conservative notion that women need to be subservient to men is bullshit perpetuated by weak little boys who are afraid of the power of the feminine

https://twitter.com/_nomadic_soul/status/1849221507949772923

For these "men", they are too scared to see women as equals. They are afraid to see the powerful woman within their wives. They NEED women to be subservient bc they are cowards, unable to rise to meet a powerful woman as an equal.

So, this video actually explains HOW she didn't notice they were incompatible for three and a half years. The reason is bc she's codependent. Notice how much she's excusing his bad behavior. She's still trying to save him even after he did such a heinous act to her 🧵

https://twitter.com/ChiefWitxh/status/1847890245783621671

I'm a recovering codependent who dated several others. I actually went through a breakup similar to this, where I felt blindsided after thinking we were the perfect couple, no incompatibilities, (funny enough, it was also after three and a half years lol)

This dude is lying—like yes, there IS a loneliness epidemic, but it's NOT affecting men disproportionately. It's affecting the genders equally!(receipts below). There IS a male entitlement epidemic however (which he's demonstrating perfectly here with his need to center men) 🧵

https://twitter.com/HarrisPeskin/status/1847377203081916601

It's frustrating how often this happens. Like no, not everything has to be male centric. The entire world is lonely right now! Capitalism has destroyed our third spaces and our communities. It's MUCH harder to socialize now than ever before.

This is what I specialize in coaching bc I used to have crippling social anxiety & rejection sensitive dysphoria. Like I could barely talk to strangers, let alone shoot my shot. But now it's functionally gone and it was actually easier than I thought to get over. A 🧵

https://twitter.com/TheKyoda/status/1845150186244538581

There are usually two things preventing people from being able to shoot their shot: negative thoughts telling you you can't, and negative emotions/feelings that we don't want to deal with (some people would also say there's a third issue, negative beliefs about yourself)

One of the worst parts of being an empathetic human who actually cares about others while surviving in late stage capitalism is that, you can't actually help people unless you have enough capital to survive bc helping is unprofitable. It's such a horrible feeling. Today I had to work on my business bc I'm almost broke. But there are SO many things my brain is categorizing as more important (like the pandemic, the genocides, the hurricane), but I NEED to work to survive, and can barely work as it is due to long COVID.

The brain/neural inflammation that comes after a covid infection can be intense. I was constantly rageful for 2-3 months after my infection. My mom noticed it. She said I was like a completely different person. But that's not the worst part ...

https://twitter.com/NjbBari3/status/1835611930653807096

The scariest part is that I've spent over a decade training my nervous system to be calm and to be able to handle intense emotions, and I can tell you the level of rage I felt was MORE intense than anything I felt before training. So really think about that,

As a men's dating coach who's worked with hundreds of men this past decade, so many thoughts. Too many to write. But if you want to know the common thread, you can see it in all of the replies: so much self pity and women blaming, and very little taking responsibility.

https://twitter.com/ListenMySon_/status/1823964680445976927

Putting the economic issues of late capitalism aside (which is definitely a factor bc everyone is broke and burnt out), many men who aren't that affected by this are deeply disillusioned by dating bc they've been indoctrinated into the manosphere way of thinking about women.
