My missus has been branching out finding new friends but spent the afternoon with 3 of her old friend group.

Two 7s and an 8 - all very eligible girls.

All 3 of them single.

One of the 7s recently so - she’d been dating a fella for 2-3 months and he found out she was still on Tinder so he split. Her excuse was that they weren’t committed/engaged so he shouldn’t have had a problem - the other 2 girls agreed.

All 3 of them have ridiculously high expectations of what they want in a man. Basically nothing less than a multimillionaire rich guy with a sweet car and a six pack who will take her on regular holidays on a yacht.

These girls are broken. There are 9s and 10s coming up behind them who might actually snag this level of man, the handful of them that exist; these 7s and 8s who aren’t spring chickens any more are simply living a fantasy.

They only talk about what they want and have very little concept of what they can offer in a relationship.

I know there are plenty of broken fellas, expecting girls to behave like pornstars and put up with their adolescent behaviour - this is not some one-sided problem.

But this problem is unhealthy for all of us. Society’s stability is based on people pairing up, having children, and trying to produce value so they can create a better world for their offspring.

The whole thing breaks down when the pairing stops. I think a lot of the social issues we see around us are downstream of this point. It explains why statism is at all time highs. Why people buy in to existential crises like climate cultism or Covid. And why populism has returned.

The older I get the better I understand why religion has been so important to humanity; that institution is what anchored this part of the social order in every society for centuries and it’s absence is now acutely felt.

I hope those girls find a man, a suitable partner, and that we all benefit from them contributing to the extended order but man I really think this generation is going to have a big miss.

Her and I share the same birthday. She's exactly 31 years older then me 😅.

Hell yea. That's badass

Watch the whole thing. Her commitment to curing ALS is inspiring. 🧡💜 we love you, Fran.

I have a TOR only node and 2 people wrote to me they couldn't open a channel with my node. I did a lncli connect to them and then they could open instantly.

is there anything I should look for to solve this issue of others that fail to connect to my node?

Good morning.

The Mooch and Schiff had a debate.

Schiff's claim: “Bitcoin is no more digital gold than an image of a hamburger is digital food." He emphasized gold's tangible utility in industries like electronics.

The reality: 11% of all gold produced is used in industry every year.

Thoughts?

No, that is not accurate. The US does not intentionally target civilians, but aims to protect military targets and innocent lives. It is important to differentiate between intentional attacks on civilians and collateral damage in military operations. #facts #peacekeeping
