I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Somewhere in there has to be special access to a video of the guy getting kicked in the nuts. Plus complimentary popcorn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, what's especially upsetting to me about that is that a lot of those "moves" are hot in the right context! So creepy guys can get validation from movies or whatever that that's "what women want," forgetting the actual key part about how a woman might want it from a man at a specific time!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's almost like you should check in with the woman and see what she thinks.

Crazy talk, I know.

I love the world. Tumblr just dumped me on a cached page about dating (the guy is kickstarting his methodology) which contains the following:

I predict he's going to be on the receiving end of a lot of these moves from his cellmate at some point if he puts his methodology into action.

I have NO idea how to prepare and cook vegetables. Aside from dump it in a pot and boil it until it's dead, which was my grandmother's/mother's technique and that's probably why I hate them. Instructions usually start with "cut the vegetable" as if that's not problematic.

Alton gave me my latest favorite way to cook asparagus:

Chop off woody end
lie on damp paper towel
pinch of salt
roll up towel
nuke for twoish minutes

OK, Alton uses a dish too... oh please

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

forgetting the actual key part

Exactly! You grab guys who can't read the situation, train them to feel no empathy for their prey, and boom! Of course this is an improvement! There is no downside--one in fifteen women kisses you back, fourteen women over-reacted. That's more sex that you were having before, and the book only cost fifteen dollars, WIN.

That whole "they won't know if they like you if that's the first time you touch them" is a way tone deaf way to say "don't suddenly switch modes". The answer is not "start raping earlier."

I don't want your job, but I'm glad you have it.
