agreed!! if both people in a marriage are more focused on serving the other than serving self, it’s a win-win.

Deciding the sex in a marriage should be dictated by the lower libido partner is fine but it shows a lack of empathy for your partner, which makes you a bad partner

People are determined to misunderstand this post. 1. Making out with your partner is good. Regular affection, scheduled or spontaneous, is a good way to keep connection strong. 2. Non-sexual affection is good. In fact, women need regular non-sexual affection, which leads to more regular sex. 3. When all affection is sexual or expected to lead to sex, one partner (usually the woman) feels uncomfortable because it sets an unreasonable expectation. Your job within your marriage is to communicate and figure out whether 1 can be 2, or if 1 is 3. Whichever way works for your marriage, do that.

If this is the case then the woman is completely in the right, although she should communicate better. But it's not always the case. It's particularly annoying when the woman isn't well but refuses to see a doctor about it. "Sometimes it is about the nail"

Nearly every man/husband absolutely does care if their wife is in the mood. But people can get themselves into the mood if they weren’t perfectly there to start with. Never trying is a choice.

Sex is the only case where this could be mistaken for a sound argument. That’s due to the weird sexual ethics of our time designed to legitimize behavior that used to be condemned and condemning perfectly fine behavior. But let’s make it a little more obvious and replace sex with another act of physical intimacy, say a back rub (one could call this non-sexual touching). I’ve never wanted to give my wife a back rub. I don’t particularly enjoy doing it. But she’s my wife, I know it makes her happy and that matters quite a lot to me her husband, so I’ve given her hundreds? Thousands? There are dozens of such acts both she and I do for one another in the name of our marriage. Acts where we are neutral or would simply rather not but because of love and our holy vow to one another means we perform them without complaint nor resentment. Acts of love that transcend other emotions. If one were to take her advice literally, that a wife or husband should never do something they don’t feel like for their spouse, they would find a quick end to their marriage. Again you probably shouldn’t take marriage advice from a divorcee.

"Fearing your spouse's reaction" is really the other shoe dropping on the issue: The low sex drive partner both expects the relationship to proceed exclusively on their terms AND expects their partner to not express frustration or displeasure with that state of things.

To get a sense of scale, here’s how the $85.7b SpaceX just raised compares to what they’ve historically spent on different programs. People aren’t ready for the magnitude of things to come

Anyone who agrees with me has thought things through and has genuine concerns. Anyone who doesn't hasn't and either their outrage is manufactured, or they are engaged in a culture war, or both, for reasons that are so obvious I need say nothing further.

Elon Musk’s companies pay a median salary of $125,000. Elon Musk doesn’t take a salary. Elon Musk’s companies don’t pay dividends. So tell me how he got wealthy by exploiting his employees.

A 2009 PHP app on bare metal serves 12,000 requests/min on 384MB RAM. Meanwhile, our modern React/Node.js rewrite needs 4GB just to start. 15 years of "progress" and we're using 10x more memory for the same functionality. What happened to efficiency?

A certain amount of underage drinking, even in pubs, used to be quietly tolerated. For The Greater Good. Well that was shut down by a moral panic, and we closed off one major route for teens to socialise and be inducted into adulthood, contributing to the current moral panic…

Musk plays in the real world. He can't just handwave away government control of the markets he's interested in. He subverted them instead with sheer competence. Musk broke into the MOST crony market there is - space operations. A market totally politically controlled by military-industrial giants and their government apparatchiks. And he did it by becoming so good and so cheap that the government couldn't afford NOT to use his services. Do you understand how absolutely insane that is?

I’m pro legal migration. I’m pro abortion. I’ve voted Green/LD or Labour in every election since I’ve been old enough to vote. I’m also absolutely sick to death of the racism, misogyny and hypocrisy of the current ‘Left’. I don’t recognise the monster they have become.

If people don’t like their sexed bodies, it doesn’t mean they’re in the wrong body. It means they need therapy in order to get used to their body because they’re going to be stuck with it for the rest of their lives. I’m not sure why this isn’t obvious to some.

“If we liquidated this business that has created thousands of jobs and also promises to propel man to an interplanetary existence, we could give everyone a minimum-wage pay check for one month.” I’ve yet to see a tweet that better exemplifies leftism than this.

If you don’t think radical ideology can threaten this country, you weren’t watching the transgender movement. In barely a decade we went from biology being a settled fact to being told gender identity overrides it, that kids can decide their own sex, and that anyone who hesitated was a bigot. It started as a fringe academic idea. Then it was in the schools, the hospitals, the boardrooms, and the government. It didn’t take a majority. It took a small, disciplined movement that knew which buttons to push, compassion, victimhood, the fear of being called cruel. And it worked. That’s the part to sit with. It was never about one issue. It’s proof that a determined movement can rewrite an entire society faster than anyone thinks possible. If it happened once, it can happen again. Pay attention….

This is quite the response when you consider that all Sandy is saying is to leave children alone. John, aka “Brianna,” and men like him, are frantic to push the notion that children can be born in the wrong body because it provides a thin veneer of respectability to their own pretense at womanhood. If children feel this way, the line goes, then obviously it can’t be a fetish. The problem with that is that, as experts know, fetishes can and do begin in childhood – even in prepubescence. Spend any amount of time in fetish communities online, and you will find plenty of deviants whose fetishistic impulses began as children. Jerome Brudos, the shoe fetish slayer, began his obsession with women’s shoes at the age of four. On a more personal note, I had a suspect who began his obsession with rope at age 6, after watching a western in which a woman was tied to the railroad tracks. It gave him a “funny feeling,“ and from then on, he engaged his sisters and female cousins in games that required him to tie them up. As he got older, he began to molest these girls, and he eventually went on to commit several rapes and one homicide as an adult, all of which included elements of bondage. Do some children experience dysphoria? Of course – but what men like John are desperately trying to hide is the fact that the majority of children - 84% - will get over it on their own if you just leave them alone to grow out of it, and that almost all of the others can resolve their discomfort with talk therapy. John, however, wants to medicalize these children at the first sign of distress because he knows that once a child is medicalized, the rest is all but inevitable. He is willing to throw these children into the fire in order to warm his hands: to sacrifice their lives and bodies and their own future children so as to gain more participants for the game of “let’s pretend,” he clings to so tightly. And why is he so desperate? Why do these men demand the sacrifice of innocent children? Because deep down, they know it’s all a lie. A truth can exist in a person’s heart without needing to be told, but a lie must be shared and believed. John can’t be a woman independently of other people because he knows he’s a man, but if he can force everyone to treat him like a woman, then it’s easier to convince himself of the lie — and it’s easier to force people to do this if they think his impulses stem from some deep-seated childhood trauma than it is when they know it’s actually a sex thing. By pushing the concept of the dysphoric child, these men are trying to disguise the true origins of their behavior.

The shift started happening in 2015 when the UAW decided to target Tesla. What followed by Democratic Party leadership can be seen directly from their blind allegiance to the UAW. Before that point, most of the Tesla critics were either oil and gas interests, stock short sellers, or automotive related folks threatened by electric vehicles. But the path to their fractured relationship had a lot of turns. The most damaging was probably COVID related, where every other auto manufacturer in the US was allowed to start up in the same week, and Tesla was not allowed because California governor Newsom did not put the only automaker in California on their list of industries that could start up. He left it to Alameda County health commissioner who had no plans or process to permit Tesla to restart. It didn't matter that the levels of COVID around most other automakers' factories were higher. That was the last straw, as Democrats gave no care to the only auto manufacturer in the US operating in a blue area. Note that every other auto plant is either in a red state or in a red area of a blue state.

Fixing this is by far the most underrated aspect of colonizing the solar system; the restoration of the human spirit. Most people feel that history is over, a huge part of why fertility is declining, simply because nothing truly new ever happens. The complete inversion of the lack of “new” things to do will usher in a new era of human civilization; much like the discovery of the americas.
