    Edited for clarity.

    Brisket hit the nail on the head: If you are interesting, employed, understand your dating pool, and make an effort not to be disgusting on the appearance/physical lifestyle front, it shouldn't be that damn hard. There are plenty of women out there who are also looking for companionship. But if you are going to box them all into the madonna/jezebel framework, don't be suprised when people don't want to sit across from the table from you and enjoy a nice seafood dinner.

    I don't know about all this "Women being un-realistic, thus horny incells are leaving the country" stuff, but on the upper eastern seaboard, every staright dude I know, even the tools, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. The ratio of single professional women to men is outrageous. Basically, have a full set of teeth, be able to put together a few sentences, and a have a job, and never sleep alone. Essentially the multi decadal demographic shift in college to being much more female than male has finally shown up in the dating scene on the east coast.

    Terrible in DC. Biden needs to get on the horn and let the 51st state know what’s up.

    This. It's encouraged in corporate. I've heard the phrase "Let's not reinvent the wheel here, just re purpose that memo from last week" a million times. It's also not consistent with IP law: you can't plagiarize your own work as long as you solely own the copyright. But the university holds all the cards here, so your BIL should tread carefully, smile and be deferential, and don't be afraid to apologize without a "but" if it'll get him out of this with minimal pain.

    Tom has an anchor baby with Shiv. He pulled a Liz Hurley.

    This. Tom, the grasping riser, is the only person on the show capable of showing any empathy or relatable human feeling.

    Logan knew it, as did Mattson. Logan despised it, Mattson used it.

    Also, once again, Kieren Culkin should be locked away for scene theft of the first degree.

    Shiv, unable in the end to gather the throne, either because of gender or personality or whatever, choses to stay alive and get to the next frame via Tom, rather than rely on her brothers. It’s a fairly powerful commentary on gender and power dynamics. As an actual TV show ending, despite having some powerful moments, The Expanse or MASH it was not.

    I have this low grade theory the South Koreans want a chunk of the Ukrainian arms trade, as well as possibly future armor supplies (they have a Diesel Abrams) and have been twisting our tits on ammunition to get a foot in the door.

    What I can’t figure out is if this is performative kabuki to let McCarthy keep his job, or if they think the WH is really going to cave and give them everything they want. Because short of getting the House Bill, McCarthy is going to lose between 20 and 100 of his members, which means the Dems are going to have to make the difference. And at what point is that going to be a problem for Biden when Jayapal pulls the Progressives and Fetterman, Bernie, Warren et al bounce in the Senate?

    They are very cool planes that modern MANPADS have made obsolete.

    For most of you A-10 stans: there are people on this page who know they are obsolete in SAM contested air space and are only doing it to gin you up with your “brrrrrrrp” posts. Stahp

    It’s a good sign for the F-35 that all our allies are lining up to donate F-16s. It means folks are liking what they see as it gets brought online and the kinks are getting worked out.

    My previous employer owns its footprint and the former ceo was obsessed about in person post Covid. He tried to get people back in the office before the vaccine was wide spread. It led to a lot of disgruntled employees, mass retirement, and a bad hire situation. The first thing the new CEO did was loosen up RTO and give more managerial flexibility, and employee moral and hiring uptake jumped almost immediately.

    The one thing I miss about regular in person is the ability to walk down the hall, talkout something, and move forward quickly with a solution. I’ve got a client bad idea I need to snuff out and it’s going to take me several zooms to coordinate what should have been a 20 minute hallway convo. Tangiently related, the bad idea client is heavily monitored on workplace activity, which means they are constantly filling my inbox with shit that I have to sort.

    Basically a Succession story line at this point.

    Nadar said there was no difference between Bush and Gore, and he aggressively campaigned in Floriday, right up till election day. If you think Gore would have engaged in a full blown invasion of Iraq that lead to ethnic cleansing, you're dumb.

    Given the D’s and R’s are actually talking on the Debt Limit, it’s a good sign that other compromise may be possible. It’s just a matter of timing and if they can get to September when they need to do a deal on yearly spending.

    I'll leave this here since the Ukraine CR thread seems to have fallen off the first page. Just for FYI. No CR: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/15/ukraine-aid-is-drying-up-and-the-white-house-is-under-pressure-to-send-more-00096767
