War Room Lounge V43: STEM is Overrated

@Limbo Pete Did I encapsulate any of your feelings? Or maybe did Jack capture any of your homosexual feelings?

If I go to hell, you can bet the Devil will have a copy of The Great Gatsby waiting for me.

LOL coming from you that's a compliment. Hit a nerve did I?
Tell me, why do you suppose the US is one of the only Western countries with a (pseudo)democratically chosen government that has never had a female head of state?
Why is it still not even in the top 20 in gender equality? And although you're aware and just trolling, I'll also mention anyway that the quote is quite old and yes, things have improved for women over that time, but I thought it was clear I was referring mainly to the first paragraph; the basic point is still valid and your post is garbage.

Women getting elected to head of state can be a bad sign IMO. Look at the developing countries where it has happened, the woman in question is almost always related to some previous head of state, often their daughter. I know you specified Western and developed but in our case that almost happened as well; does anyone really believe that Hillary Clinton being married to a former president is unrelated to how close she got to the highest office?

You think she's average looking? People love to post bad pics of her, but in that video of her dancing and some other shots, she's way above average, IMO. She's no Amanda Seyfried, but I don't know of any place where the average adult woman looks that good. And I've been with plenty of attractive women.

Relative to the entire adult population she is obviously not average since merely being young and in decent shape puts her above a huge chunk of the overweight, older population.

Relative to the young people where I live she is like a 5-6. For sure I would date her though, easily clears my threshold of "cute enough".

Why would it upset anyone that she's dating a dude who isn't really good-looking?

Bitter women think she can and should do "better" because they project themselves onto her and want to imagine themselves with some Chris Hemsworth tier hunk. Btw this is the girl who initially criticized him

Lol.

Lol, as if she's even good enough to be his back up whore.

You doing OK today, bud?

Post reads a little InCelly.

The "back up whore" comment was too much but I stand by the rest. She's in no position to call someone else a bin raccoon.

Well, that's obviously true.

AOC is a legit 8 though. You nut.

I too didn't care for the language - especially since the persons here and the only ones I've ever seen talk about it are guys - but....yeah, I was surprised a woman, let alone a supposed "feminist," seriously said that. That shows serious deficits in intelligence, self-awareness, emotional depth, and social tact. Overall, I think we can all agree that there are a heck of a lot more 10/10 women who date below their level of attractiveness on the basis of personality and intelligence than there are men.

Also, I looked up her Twitter....and she is not insightful or witty at all. I need to get on Twitter. I'm way funnier than these clowns.

By the standards of the general population, sure.

But if I saw her on my Uni campus she would be a 5-6, maybe a 7 on her best day. Not really trying to be a dick, AOC has no doubt accomplished more than the vast majority of the 8s, 9s, and 10s I ran into on campus. Its truly irrelevant and I think AOC, regardless of whether the consensus is that she's hot or not, is probably bothered by the fact that this discussion happens as often as it does.

Certainly a male Congressman of the same age would not have his looks talked about as much. I understand you are complimenting her("you go girl! So smart and pretty!") but perhaps we should just leave at "smart" or "driven" or "passionate" or any other sort of description that has nothing to do with her looks. If AOC wanted to be recognized as pretty she'd be an instagram model, not a congresswoman.

Yeah, I mean average as in the middle third of the population. 60 percentile range. I think most people are average looking, as in, if I saw her on the street, I wouldn't double take. Also, I consider myself average looking, and I've been with much better looking women.

How many animals have you been with? I know you have mentioned in the past you have had the love of many animals.

Missouri is probably awash with hogs.

Lets be honest, every state in the bible belt has its share of fat women. There is something about Jesus that makes women fat.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

So full disclosure, I have hardly read anything of Stephen King. I saw some 80s movies based on his books and was dissuaded.

But a couple years ago, I read 11/22/63 and enjoyed it immensely. Based on that, any recommendations?

That one is unique for King (I loved it too). Maybe try Under the Dome? But don't try it on just my word.

I personal thought Under the Dome was awful.

 

[Trotsky]

I love horses, but that old lesbian-looking Satan-spawned halfwit really grossed me out with this one.

What did you think public?

I have many.
A lot of people only read his pulpy 80s stuff, which I enjoy as well, but a lot of it got too weird or crazy (this was the height of his drug days). For example, I usually recommend people avoid The Dark Half and Gerald's Game. Honestly, I think his best work can be found in short story collections, of which there are many to choose from. Skeleton Crew is a great place to start, and it has my favorite short story of all time "Cain Rose Up", in it. King is best imo when writing descriptive yet strange content with minimal explanation for how or why something is happening.
I don't read much for fun any more, but my brother recently gave me a copy of a very very short King book called "Elevation". It's about a guy that is inexplicably losing weight without losing mass. It's really pretty outstanding imo, and short enough to read on a train or airplane ride in one go. As for full novels, one of my all time favorites is "The Long Walk". I could go on and on. Loves me some Stephen King.
