Marriage Markets gets into this but it's basically split along class lines. Educated professionals have very active dating and sex lives and then settle down into successful marriages in their 30's. For everyone else, it's chaos.

Of course, the need to demonstrate professional and educational attainment and impress someone before they swipe on to the next one is a very reasonable thing, people want stability and security in their partners, but it's also fuelling a lot of resentment. The angry young men on the internet have a point in what they're observing, they just don't understand the causes and are putting it all on women. In reality, white people are experiencing what happened to black people in the 1960's in terms of the breakdown of stable marriage, then dating relationships.

How Americans in particular process this - as it's been attributed to black race or culture - I don't know. When it happened to low-income whites after NAFTA it was attributed to their culture and character too in a way that was pretty visceral and awful and seemed to be based on them "acting like black people", to put it nicely. Now it's happening to middle class white people too.

I suppose you could look at how crack was treated in comparison to the opiate epidemic, but I don't know what conclusions to draw from that. It had the same progression across class, and in America that means racial, lines.

lol I picked this book up and :

"Marx, of course, defined class in terms of antagonism between the interests of the “capitalists,” who owned the means of production, and the workers, who depended on wages for their labor but had little ability to shape the terms of employment. Yet, Marxian notions do not apply directly to a post-industrial economy, and Marx himself did not anticipate the development of a “middle class” independent of the capitalists. Since Marx’s time, much of the discussion of class has largely been relegated to those who chart the course of financial progress in Asia, Latin American, and the rest of the developing world."

I’ll give that a pass. Get some loving focaccia though. Though I don’t know if the Sicilian ones are great. What I had in Sardinia was noticeable worse than Tuscany.

I want to sell a covered call on a stock I already own, qty 100 shares x $13~ avg cost basis, and stock is currently trading at $25. I do not believe the stock is going to go down so I'm not selling, and I picked up a put w/ strike above cost basis. My intention with the covered call is I want some cash and I don't want to sell any holdings. I guess I'm wondering this: if I sell a call with a strike price higher than my cost basis, and it gets called, I'm essentially selling the stock at strike price of the call? The answer seems fairly obvious as I type this, but am trying to make sure I understand it.

it takes a large as gently caress amount of reading and practice to get good enough and I'm busy with work and learning other languages at the same time.

Yeah I'm reading in nome Della Rosa and the name of the rose at the same time and comparing and poo poo. but it's slow going and difficult and it makes me just want to read it in English since, by the side-by-side comparison, the English translation is clearly very good. If there was a lot of good stuff I could only read in Italian I'd be much more motivated
