Well, not everyone is a badass MFer like you two!! :roll:

Seriously though, it has more to do with bosses doing it than Becky from Accounting. For example, I have kids and one of them was a girl scout. Had I come into the office asking my direct report if he wanted to buy some cookies it would be pretty inappropriate. He might actually want some for his own kids, but he also might only buy a box because his family desperately depends on his income.

It just put me in mind if something my gf always says, that it is scary for a woman to say no to a man's overtures in public, because she never knows if he will react violently to rejection. And my response to her is that if the women are unable to behave like grownups, perhaps they aren't. I continued with "maybe the Saudis have the right idea, not allowing women in public without a male family member. Keeps their women safer.". I have other good traits though that kept her from breaking up with me.

To be fair to you, based on her statement there is logic in your statement...

We live in a world where a while bunch of people think "I said yes because I was afraid to say no" is a valid claim of sexual assault. And I say these people shouldn't be allowed out without an adult to help them say no, in order to avoid making rape charges.

Just came across this on Twitter and laughed a lot.

To be fair to your nemesis, his actual quote about TikTok (simply about their algorithms) which is not in the link you posted, does give it some context that doesn't make it seem so contradictory.

Tiktok's algorithm IS the virus.

Fair point. What's worse, their algorithm that intentionally simulates the effects drugs have or their spying on TikTok users' data?

One of Musk's 7 children files to be legally separated from him and wants their gender legally changed too.

Odd article. It's clearly an attempt to smear him (Where's the "Musk's other 6 children love him and have no issues with him" article?), but once you read the whole thing you realize all they had was the headline and nothing else. There is an attempt made to link him to anti-trans stuff through one tweet, but it's really flimsy and they begrudgingly admit his company keeps getting 100% scores as a good place for LGBQT people to work.

Hate driven by politics is a weird motivator.

Guess he realized after the backlash that no one there would sleep with him.

Yes, Twitter is full of self-important people who are nowhere near as wise as they think they are.

And a lot of them are women and he's the richest man in the world.

You didn't need any other clarifier.
