She literally spent a good portion of her eulogy talking about how wives are not supposed to be slaves. You can't make this shit up.

This is literally loony tunes. China makes up 27% of global manufacturing capacity. The US makes up 17% and the EU is 16%. Russia is 1.7%.

This is your brain on tankie.

Bro literally refers a to it over and over as "SMO" which literally nobody other than a literal Russian propagandist would do.

I saw this thread and bookmarked it for the next time someone asks for "proof" that .ml is infested with Russian trolls.

I mean the flip side of what you are saying is that people aren't allowed to have a social life free from romantic pursuit. Yes, it's a thin line to walk but you are only seeing the view from a person with limited romantic opportunities, not the person who is tired of every social interaction being hijacked by dude number 67897 "out to find people you enjoy spending time with, and maybe some of them are also people you consider pursuing romantically."

Like I totally get your perspective here. Doing things, and then... Organic relationship with no pressure. That's ideal. The problem is that horny dudes hold this ideal in their head, and then use it to justify blowing up every coed activity in existence. You might think, "ok, if she says no, I'll drop it" but the counterpoint is that this ritual becomes a chore for the other side of the fence. You are socially awkward, now imagine that any time you socialize in a group you have to awkwardly defend against someone's iterative advances. And that this happens so often, it begins to color the way you interact with every acquaintance.

Yes, meeting people in group settings often leads to dates. But going into those settings with the intention to find a date is a recipe for problems. This is a subtle, but important distinction which seems lost on a lot of people.

If there is a god, it will happen on live television.

This can backfire too though, since women assume any man coming to these events is just looking to hook up, so their guard is high. It's also kind of shitty to make all extracurricular activities into dating events imo. People should have a space away from that pressure.

Honestly for me the best way to meet single is to have married friends who can play matchmaker. Of course that requires you to have friends, which brings us back to square one.

We already assume the actual start time is 20 minutes after the listed start time. Thank God for assigned seats.
