incels

Chatted with a friend today about stereotypical issues in the cis-het dating market. Of course, you can switch the genders, for other types of couplings - this is a caricature.

1. BOY incels : WANT to be cuddled, but don't know how to make girls want to cuddle them; stabby guesswork often results in guys "making moves" which strike girls as either ludicrous or traumatic; CHEAT code answer ... ask a girl what makes her feel loved, then either admit you don't want to/know how to do it, or do it and ask if she feels loved ... if she says she doesn't, then you may do philosophy together and review the specification; 

2. GIRL incels : WANT to feel loved, but don't know how to make boys want to love them; half the time, girls are just waiting for rain, and not making moves; CHEAT code answer ... tell a boy how you want to feel, AND what tends to help you feel that way ... if they say they won't/can't/shan't do it, then you may do philosophy together and ask the client why they are avoiding the simplest way to get what they want;

In both cases, DON'T even bother with people who won't answer the question and discuss the specifications, goals, and ways to reach goals unless you're rich and like gambling with time/money/etc.

Not a very developed set of ideas, but enough to get started on scripting a play, or something like that.

Gentlemen at War

centrist : Seems like automated circuit breakers on exchanges can be manipulated, to trigger panic-selling, and this should not be allowed.


capitalist : It's not the exchange's job to stop panic selling. In fact exchanges ENABLE panic selling which would not be possible without exchanges. The exchange's job is to allow smart money to take dumb money.


centrist : What are circuit breakers for, then?


capitalist : Circuit breakers allow smart money to take dumb money, gently ...

Why Smart-asses Gravitate to the Investment Industry

1. Ignorance is the basis of all investment.

2. Without ignorance, all assets would be terminally-valued in the present, and there would be no investment incentive, and thus no investment activity or industry.

3. Thus investment banking attracts smart-asses.
