Rich Uncle Chet: Jan 20, 2005; The Law? Law is a Human Institution.

I've seen this analogy used a million times, but it really seems dumb to me. I dunno, maybe I just can't handle the truth.

It's a lovely analogy because it suggests that a woman loses "value" when she has sex with men.

It also assigns duty to men to get in as much pussy as possible while assigning duty to women to deny it to everyone. It's inherently adversarial, which is a pretty bad quality to give to basic human interaction.

I prefer the door analogy: If somebody walks through a lot of doors it doesn't mean anything, and if a particular door is walked through by a lot of people it still doesn't mean anything.

IDK, the analogy is pretty good. It's just that the basic premise of the point the analogy is trying to make is very flawed. But the analogy gets the flawed point across pretty well.

It's also useful shorthand for "this is a lovely person who shouldn't be on your friends list."

Just tell him that a pencil sharpener that can sharpen many pencils is a good sharpener, a pencil loses value the more it's sharpened.

Based on the headline I think a better analogy for the results of that study is "It's easy to think your own grass is the greenest if you've never seen any other lawns."

I was browsing 2cellos videos and caught this comment:

Apparently Andy GG is under the impression that those two guys came out of their mothers' wombs being able to play that well.

I think he's just mad that no one is willing to pay him for his music.

Also Ms Hrabrina Nikolova's comment.

You can almost hear him stroking his neckbeard while typing his reply (his comment above his long rant).
And here's the url to the music video.

Unrelated:I really wanna make a 2girls1cup joke with their name, but 2cellos1bow just doesn't seem to work.
