Well there you go. I'm not talking about what makes somebody attractive so much as the effects of being attractive, and that this attractiveness is physical characteristics (which include fashion and mannerisms among other less obvious stuff). And I'm making the contrast of my personal situation of being unattractive (fat) to attractive (unfat). There is next to nothing in my life that can explain why I didn't even get glances at 250, got tons of glances and come ons at 185, and currently have started receiving more glances at 215 as I drop weight from 250 |

If we were to list all the ways we think men and women are different, it would be a long list. But if that same list were dependent on the actual truth, it would be much shorter. An example is how it wasn't that long ago that men and women thought that women didn't care about sex as much as men. All sorts of logic and evidences would be used to make that point. But now we know that isn't true. |

My point is not what you think it is. I'm not expressing any emotional position. I'm discussing this as if it's a hypothetical. I'm not "being resentful or holding some sort of negative feeling towards someone because they aren't finding you automatically attractive". |

Sometimes I feel like my life is the personification of Socially Awkward Penguin comics. It's like I am midway between socially competent and autistic. The SAP moment itself doesn't bother me much, but the fact that I'll often ruminate about it off and on for an hour or two can be annoying. | |

Or maybe you all are just normal and every little nuance in personality is thrown under so much scrutiny you think you have a problem. Maybe caring about your actions and feeling you came across as a dick or a weirdo is normal, because you know that's not a good thing. |

I agree with your assessment of the old dude and I agree with pretty much everything else. It's super common for people to self-diagnose themselves as neurotic and anxiety-ridden. It's something people tend to feel alone with because it's by nature such a solitary experience. | |

<3 thanks Chelle. Yeah, learning to ride the panic attack through and sort of distance yourself from the sensation really helps. It's important not to let your emotions completely define or take control of you. I've learned some breathing/focus techniques lately that have helped.. nothing anyone taught me, just something I kind of found for myself. Things that help me distance my head from the whirlwind of my emotions so I can actually process them without getting caught in the undertow. | |

You're welcome sweetheart. I was taught too, and I fucking hated doing it - but it helped more than anything else. I'm getting my license back in June after not being able to drive since 2008 because the seizures. I know how bad anxiety can get, and fighting it makes you want to say fuck it, because it never truly goes away, and when you think you're good, life throws a pile of shit in your face. | |

OK you're stating that the rich tend to get what they want in all of the highly socialized societies of the world. What that tells you is that we need some sort of grand change in our socio-economic system. What it tells me is that rich people have a lot of power innately and it doesn't matter what government policy attempts to intercede. You cannot negate the influence of money on the way things are so you may as well just allow it to run its course and revel in all the good things about a monetary society. Fighting it just makes things worse for us all, but worse for the poor and middle class by a larger metric than for the rich. | |

A series of posts and a lecture by one of my favorite economists on the subject. In case you're skeptical, Caplan is a PhD and could be called "the most liberal person ever" due to his support of open borders, but his support for basic economics would make many call him just another in the marching band of greedy spinsters |

Also two of the go-to arguments found on the web about why the rich are screwing people do not hold water: inequality and taxes. Inequality tells us virtually nothing. Without going into a bunch of detail, it should be noted that the data shows that the top 1% is made up of the top 19% due to all sorts of measurements that nobody talks about (like if you sell your home you're in the top 1% for a period of time), only 10% of Forbes 400 from 30 years ago are still on the list, and virtually everything that increases living standards also increases inequality (a company that makes a cancer cure drug would get incredibly rich and inequality would rise, yet we'd all be infinitely better off because of it). "Income" is not a meaningful statistic, as well (consumption is the relevant measurement, income is merely an abstraction that measures nothing concrete). When economic inequality is considered instead of income inequality, inequality looks much different. As for taxes, economic incidence is the right measure, not legal incidence. Popular data always uses legal incidence to try to make an agenda of inequality, but economic incidence tells a much different story. Hell, most (all?) inequality and income data doesn't even bother to factor in all sorts of relevant factors like subsidies. |

Do you see the point I was making? The philosopher king idea acknowledges the problems of populous rule and the need for elite (read: expert) input. As far as I can see, capitalism has made a system that better provides this input. I can't think of any other way of getting a system that provides a mechanism by which people with a lot of skin in the game or understanding of the issues can make their voices heard. |

I see the point you're making, but it's moot because public opinion doesn't dictate public policy, despite your recent best efforts to portray the people as having so much power. Politicians lie to get into office, making promises that coincide with public opinion, and then ignore all that shit, creating policy that benefits those that paid for them to be in power. Your characterization of the power that the masses have is absurd. | |

Take the current biggest social issue in the US today: gay marriage. Who's running the show, the populace or the oligarchs? The populace, obviously. It's because of public opinion that gays have been so horribly discriminated against, and it's because of the change in public opinion that they are now being discriminated against less so. An argument could be made that the big money has mostly fought on the side of good throughout all this |

These are both examples of where the public actually has the potential to influence things: when there aren't huge money interests involved. The biggest opposition to gay marriage and pot legalization are religious and enforcement-related government agencies and private prison. That's not like oil or pharma or military monies. | |

Not everything needs to have a price. This is fault of capitalism. Why can't we just not hunt or kill rhinos? If you're suggesting that allowing breeding and/or hunting is the most efficient way in terms of resources required to save the rhino then you are probably correct. But it's not always about efficiency. I mean you could probably make a market for killing humans for sport, or cats and dogs or w/e, but we as a society get to have a say on what is or isn't acceptable. That's the point of a democracy. This is a prime example of allowing money to decide things and money has no sense of right or wrong. ethics and morality don't come in to play. If money is deciding things, then those with the most money have the most sway and that is huge part of the problem. | |

More about kidneys, how many are even needed. I'm pretty sure if we start at a decent price supply will outweigh demand by a huge amount and good old demand and supply would probably get it down to about $1,000 per kidney. You'd have to be desperate to be considering that. | |

The big money isn't influencing these things that much. Of the three things you listed, the first two are about the voters (religious and government backing) and the latter doesn't have nearly as big an effect on it as thought (private prisons) |
