| According to Nintendo's website for the Labo kits, there are currently very few authorized retailers. They are still for sale, just not in very many places. I have found them on online retailers like amazon. https://www.nintendo.com/my/dealer/index.html Ring Fit Adventure seems to be widely availabl... |

| Another friendly reminder than not all relationships are healthy or safe. And that exploitation can take on many faces. Including "wisdom". Wisdom in a relationship is potentially "unhealthy and unsafe"? give examples... "Wisdom" can take many faces as well. Prejudice ... |

| If you've only rolled a 7 for your charisma score, you've gotta play through with that score. It's not all the NPCs fault your character sheet has a low stat on it. An excellent metaphor. Like imagine there's a Barbarian, with a charisma of 9 and a wisdom of 3, who keeps failing seduction rolls, no... |

| I am reasonably certain that the scientific method requires the claim of hypergamy to prove itself true in order to be taken as true - as opposed to simply taking it as true unless and until proven false. A common logical fallacy in action. There's a difference between a woman who's not interested i... |

| Above I mentioned individuals downplaying their faults and exaggerating their attributes - your friend above sounds like he falls into that category. One does not typically get called a mama's boy simply for "loving one's mother". It's usually applied to individuals who have an unhealthy a... |

| An anecdote I've read about: Robert Pattinson, of Twilight fame, definitely checks off the boxes of young, athletic, attractive, rich, famous, etc - things supposedly prioritized by most women. Pattinson shares a story where he had a female stalker, hounding him for a date, relationship, etc. So he ... |

| To elaborate further: Here's how it's been subverted. The intended point of the 80/20 rule, in business, is to find out what those 20% most effective inputs are, and focus on those - or to find your worst practices, and stop them - in the name of efficiency. Where the incel mentality co-opts the con... |

| The issue with "watching" or "observing" is it's still not an EXPERIENCE. No amount of watching Top Gun can really give you an idea of what it's like to experience several Gs of acceleration. No amount of watching NASCAR can truly inform you of what it's like to drive 200mph in a... |

| Imagination typically draws upon lived experience in order to generate imagined experiences, either realistic or unrealistic. If one has never been in any sort of relationship, one has no basis of reference to draw upon for what it could possibly be like. The same is true for many things, and many e... |

| Final Fantasy 14 has really impressed me with how nice the community is. There are a few bad apples, but most people are totally chill, and bad behavior isn't taken lightly by the mods and devs. The community is remarkably good at self-policing, with other members reporting violations they see.

| The 80/20 percent "thing" just sounds like a subversion of the Pareto Principle, in order to justify more "hypergamy" rubbish from a different angle. The concept of the Pareto Principle is meant to express that 80% of outcomes are the result of only 20% of the inputs. Basically, ... |

Like many people on the spectrum and even those who are NT I have self-esteem issues. This is probably a vain thing to say but I enjoy wearing dress clothes and suits because it increa... |
