  • Best you can hope for on bumble is a ‘hey’ from the woman.

    That’s all they ever need to say, because again, it’s stacked heavily in favour of women so when they send 100 ‘hey 👋🏼’ messages they get 95 replies that have to carry the entire conversation. It sucks but that’s the reality.

    PSA: If you’re a guy on a dating site and you reply with just “hey” or something similar to a lady then you’ve fucked up.

    You get one shot at a semi-witty reply that may get her to smile before your reply is buried under 100 other guys also vying for her attention.

    Just quickly read her profile and make some kind of riff off of it with an open ended question.

    “Hey blahblah I saw you liked The Office, I’m more of a fan of working from home myself.

    Also, why’s everyone seem to be looking for Jim? Who’s that guy?”





  • The particular industry that’s being nationalised is American flags produced for US government consumption. (The nationalisation part)

    They’ve decided to legislate because they don’t like the optics of some foreign made products. (This isn’t an invisible hand; it’s opaque)

    How is that justified in a supposedly capitalist society when China can produce flags of the same quality but at a cheaper price?

    Edit: maybe protectionism is a better word than nationalise, end effect is the same; The government of a capitalist country is directly interfering with the market.








  • There are lots of reasons why this is a boon for trump but here’s one:

    Failed assassination attempts make your political opponents impotent.

    From this point forward in the campaign Biden has to hold trumps assassins accountable and use state resources to condemn the actions taken against trump. Effectively your opponent has to support you otherwise they look like they are consenting to the assassination attempt.

    What can the Biden campaign really say to counter this narrative? ‘Hey you probably shouldn’t have invited violence because you’ll reap what you sow’ - that’s terrible strategy.

    Instead they have to condemn all political violence, ensure trumps safety and effectively congratulate him for surviving.

    Bad days for Biden’s campaign. No worthy challenger to Biden will take the mantle now.
