Fine. Got here Saturday night, so Sunday and Monday were fine, but yesterday and today have been annoying. I’m here for work, so the only highlight of my day is dinner at night and a lot of places I wanted to go to are closed. Ended up eating in the hotel today because I didn’t want to risk getting someplace for it to be closed.

Yeah, it's the same where I am, maybe slightly worse since I'm further north. My company is based out of Austin though, and that's where my boss is. My boss hasn't replied to any of my texts since before noon today, which is unusual on days like the one I had today so I imagine poo poo on his end must be BAD right now.

Keep in mind my job is in tree services, and a major component of that is working and being outside in THIS EXACT SITUATION soooooo yeah.

I'm really hoping they'll let me have tomorrow off if I end up having to go all night without power, but I'm not holding my breath.

So like with check kiting, bank transfers (ACH) also take 3 days to clear while still showing the funds as in your account. When this is done through reputable banks, people go, oh this money is good, and let you have at it. And well... this trader used that with a bunch of Bank of America accounts to move a ton of fake money into his account, executed a ton of trades through a broker with that money... and got completely rinsed.

BoA after 3 days goes yeah, funds don't exist, Trader gets arrested, Broker frantically undo-es all the trades and loses like $3m in the process. FBI and SEC are all up their rear end right now.

So my idiot bosses plans of having 3 people do the work of 6 including me is unravelling super loving fast. I currently have 20 unaddressed cases and a warehouse manager who threatened me with an email to the boss because I refused to work past my finish time today. I also told the manager for the country today not to "bother me with this poo poo at 10 on a Thursday" before I hung up after they requested three years of claim data. So its safe to say my rear end will be getting chewed tomorrow, which will likely result in someone being told to eat my rear end. But I managed to force through my staff keeping their OT for the time being and I won't be fired on the spot - more like a written warning for being a dick. So my professional life is currently on life support but I have a line on some recruiters who are friends of a friend so hopefully I get actual opportunities and not them filling a quota and I've made a linked in and am updating my resume and cover letter templates tomorrow.

https://markmcdonaldmd.substack.com/p/why-american-women-are-undatable

quote:


I don’t even want to go on any dates anymore. They just feel like a chore.” I heard this from my twenty-four-year-old male patient this week. I hear it frequently from men everywhere. I hear it in bars, at professional conferences, over coffee at lunch. I hear it because American women have become undatable.

American women today suffer from a combination of emotional and characterologic pathology that renders them unfit to be romantic partners to men. On the emotional side, they are angry, anxious, and dysregulated. Men find them exhausting and not at all fun to be around. In addition to their unpleasant emotions, men must also contend with their toxic personality traits: narcissism, ingratitude, and an overbearing and judgmental attitude that appears to be constant. American women approach dating as a fact and fault-finding mission, with a degree of arrogance that can only come from a profound absence of self-awareness. They have no idea what their role is in the encounter or how to properly support the man who is leading the date. They act as saboteurs rather than facilitators. Most men have tired of this.

Certainly, the failings of men play their own role in the dating disaster of today’s America. I have written about these failings extensively here and in my first book, United States of Fear. Masculinity is in decline in the West; without it, dating cannot be successful. Strength, courage, mastery, and honor are the essential traits of masculinity, according to Jack Donovan, author of The Way of Men, and few men display those traits today. Yet equally few women display the essential traits of femininity, either. Donovan explains that to find a woman desirable, a man requires nothing more than for her to be pretty, carefree, and charming. Today’s American women cannot even meet that expectation.

I went to dinner recently at a restaurant in Westwood, near the UCLA campus. Every customer appeared to be a university student. I noticed a group of girls walk past me as they got up from their table. They all looked and dressed alike: oversized tee shirts, baggy jeans, non-styled hair, no make-up. They appeared to be poorly dressed boys. I turned to the woman I was with and commented, “They don’t look attractive at all.” She replied, “That’s the current style. I don’t think they’re trying to look attractive.” Observing the rest of the young women around me, I saw that she was right. Most of the others resembled them. Appearance, though, is not the only way in which American women are not trying to be attractive.

The typical American woman today projects limitless entitlement, ruthless competitiveness, and advanced emotional incontinence that makes it all but impossible for a man to tolerate her, much less enjoy her company. A recent Instagram video that went viral showed a French man walking the streets of Los Angeles explaining how he had just walked out on his first date at a restaurant with a local woman after observing that her lengthy food restrictions and preferences eliminated nearly every option on the menu. “Au revoir, Jennifer,” he concluded. An American woman living in Russia posted a thread of complaints on social media after failing to get to a second date with any local man after six months in Moscow. “One man told me at the end of the first date that I wasn’t attractive enough for him to go out with a second time. I reminded him that I earn more money than him and have a better apartment—an apartment that I pay for with my own income.” Additional comments made it clear that she was entirely unaware of the expectations of local men regarding both feminine dress and body habitus, and that Russian men couldn’t care less what she makes or how nice her apartment is. They want a pretty, charming, carefree woman and aren’t hesitant to say so to her face. American men want the same thing but don’t have the clarity of mind or the courage to say so. They have become pussified.

I believe the root cause of this problem in American women is environmental. It is a problem of bad values. Women in this country have been taught that looks don’t matter, that career is more important than family, that men are either dangerous or weak and incapable, and that the world would be a better place if only women were in charge. Everything they are taught is wrong. Everything they are taught is a lie. And the fault lies with schools, media, feminism, and parents. These institutions and individuals have corrupted their minds, their emotions, and their characters. They have trained women to live in a fantasy world of us vs them, where the “me” is more important than the “we,” where one’s feelings dictate truth and goodness, and even virtue itself. These toxic teachings have rendered women developmentally arrested and incapable of adult partnerships with men.

This tragedy harms not only men but women. Men need women, but so do women need men, despite what feminism has taught. American men today have largely decided they would simply rather be alone than continue to feel battered and exhausted by an unending stream of bad dates with unpleasant women. No healthy person wants to play with a porcupine.

lol this loving article. Dude was mad random women weren't trying to look attractive enough so he could justify staring at them to himself (thereby providing a great example why a lot of women don't feel comfortable dressing "nicely" in public).

Like, the only thing I could somewhat sympathize with was the guy who took whose date wouldn't/couldn't eat anything on the menu, if only because not being on the same page for food is an easy dealbreaker for dating someone. But there's a huge leap to go from "woman has dietary restrictions" to "feminism has ruined this woman"

There's so much funny that isn't really funny going on here.

When's the last time you put on makeup to go out to a bar my man? Are you attractive because you are pretty, carefree and charming as a man, if not, why are they supposed to? I mainly want to Three Stooges style poke this man's eyes or if he defends slap him.

This is, in part, due to our society basically giving women zero agency in most pop media over the past couple hundred years.

Just think how many movies or tv shows fail the really simple and straightforward Bechdel test. I know that most tv and movies I consumed as a kid instructed me that women were just objects top fawn and fight over.
