Chilling in Monaco

Chill Amusing

Ha, so true. The very rich girl (had a personal Amex black card) I went on one date with was one of the most chill girls I ever spent time with in a romantic context.

Unfortunately, we were incompatible. She wanted kids very soon and I obviously do not. Damn, no yacht for me.

(Not sure what the IQ chart has to do with it.)

Mythical Diff

Chill Annoying, Clowns

I think that is part of the problem. Anti-social screechers post the most on social media.

Wil is right. Totally normal couple. All the mythical power that accrues to some relatively-minor age difference literally does not exist when both are adults. It’s made up. It’s fiction.

Neuro

Chill Annoying

Indeed. Just as men need help (societal and personal) to tame their natural aggression, women need assistance handling their natural neuroticism. And they surely are not getting it. In fact, social media is making it much, much worse.

Not a nice thing to witness.

All Me

Chill Amusing

Yesterday, a salesperson asked me what AI had produced a summary of some product and security features I’d written for him to send to a customer. He said he could never get results that good with his prompts.

And I had to tell him that it was Mike AI. All me, baby, all me. AI writing is now superior to what 99.5% of humans can churn out. But it’s not even really that close to what I can do yet, even in the business world.

Intent

Chill Evil

Something that struck me today is that for all the squalling and bawling leftists do about “intent doesn’t matter,” all they really care about is intent when it comes to their side.

Invite in 10 million feral third worlders to assault, traffic, and gang-rape your daughters while destroying your civilization? All good, because your intent was sound and your moral rectitude unassailable. The actual results do not matter even a little bit to them — even among the ones who are not using those atavistic masses to attempt to destroy society.

It’s evil and they should be stopped. All can go live in Somalia and discuss the spotlessness of their noble intent while they are being brutalized. Works for me.

To Deal

Chill Annoying, Rant

A lot of the left’s attempts at altering society seems to be based on the politics of a weird sort of resentment that anyone is better at anything than anyone else.

They get absolutely incensed when someone is just superior by some measure. And that doesn’t bother me at all, even when someone is superior to me. It’s just life and reality.

Learn to deal with it.
