    We just tell you some stupid shit to leave us alone, and you’re buying it.

    If you aren’t willing to engage with your partner about their weird little interests, don’t expect them to engage with you about yours. This goes for all genders.

      Healthy relationships are about sharing all the odd things going in your head with someone receptive to and interested in those odd things.

      This is called knowing somebody and it really feels like it’s an utterly lost concept now. It’s no wonder people are abandoning relationships right now, people never talk about the rewards, only made-up problems and conflicts get circulated.

    Dude needs to finish off How it’s Made. They don’t show you how everything is made, but they cover so damn much that you can probably take a pretty decent stab at it.

    Real 😂 Sometimes silence is just “brain buffering,” not a mood. Quick check-in + no assumptions saves everyone a lot of stress.

    I stood in one place for 3 hours while they meditated and stopped thinking so the time would go by quickly until they were done and we could go for lunch. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish in that time.

    Bicycle tires were invented by Dunlop and improved by Michelin.

    You know these names, because it actually wasn’t a dumb idea.

    I found out if I really focus on my breathing I can stop thinking for a short while and often practice that.

      When I try that, music starts playing in my head. There’s never any quiet there.

      I would have to leave out of fear… I don’t think I know how to take care of an amoeba, and the last thing I want to do is accidentally breathe you in or something 😔

    Normalize understanding that men and women aren’t very different in this regard. I once asked a girl what was going on in her head and she was thinking about stinkbugs, and if you could handle them carefully enough to not get stanked.

      Because some women love calling men dumb or stupid online and then wonder why boys become incel/redpill men in the future.

      I’m not saying that many men online aren’t doing the same to women. I’m just tired, as a man, to go online and see memes diminishing men, and when I try to address it, nobody seems to care.

        The same women that mock men for refusing to go to the doctor are the same women that mock men when they get sick.

        They start with a conclusion (“men bad!”) and back-solve.
