Someone: u notice most women in their late 30s-40s in managerial positions are really hard to work with.
those are the really societal rejects
most women who are better have already removed
themselves from the workforce.
Me: gah
Someone: which lady of leisure do u find unbearable?
Me: I dont know ladies of leisure
do you
Someone: i do.
they are a lot nicer than the female DXO officers i know.
Me: DXO is a special sample
it's not like regulars are very nice
Someone else: Sometimes, being passive-aggressive is just the most satisfying way of dealing with thick-skinned people
Me: Isn't being outright aggressive better? Hurr hurr
Someone else: Not when dealing with the fairer sex sadly
MFTTW: maybe you won't like biking
maybe the posture is not good for you
maybe yotu have tender ass
Me: har
I ride you lah
oops yours
MFTTW: i can tell a deliberate faux pas when i see one
Me: hurr hurr
Female friend on everyone else's opinions: i utterly hate female bosses too
although, in *** my female direct bosses weren't too bad
but that was bcos they were still quite low-ranking
maybe promotion turns them all into idiots
Someone: aiyah
the only misery of man is man himself
vanity, ego, and whatever the other sins are
but tell me, why are you sad?
... why would silly men make you said
and i like to tell people
Me: silliness in general makes me sad
Someone: one could be 80 years old and not be wise.
so.
such is the true condition of men lar.
and sadness is extraneous in this case cos it's not like you could do
something abt human stupidity.
Me: I bleed for humanity
even if it doesn't help it
Someone: bleeding for humanity is like white guilt
useless
and unproductive
a bleeding heart does't cure stupidity
Me: no, but I believe there is some value to it still
this is the reason why people having you in their hopes, wishes and
prayers helps
even discounting the presumed efficacy of prayers
Me: am I right in detecting wordplay between the words for "friend" and "enemy" in:
"Der Mensch der Erkenntniss muss nicht nur seine Feinde lieben, er muss auch seine Freunde hassen können"
MFTTW: errrrrrr
am i the right person to be consulting
Me: the word for enemy is easy right
HAHA
MFTTW: ....
Me: yeah it seems so
I am meditating on how the only folly of man is women
MFTTW: ......
you seem to spend a lot of time meditating on that
have you reached enlightenment yet
Me: hahahahahahahahahahaha
freud didn't manage to solve the mystery in 20 years
I doubt i can in a few
Me: shall we go to the cinema together
a mandate
Someone on the former Shaw Beach Road: i bring all my dates there ;)
wish i could bring you
Me: je voudrais mouiller
Tim The Great: then !
uh
sing in the rain
@hellovirnnnn: boys think with their penises
Me: What do girls think with?
@hellovirnnnn: They don't. HAHAHAHA.
Someone: if any girl sees this conversation, we would hung, strung and quartered.
if i end up sexless, i'm emasculating you, gabriel.
Me: it's ok, I'm already sexless
Someone else: well, i'm free this weekend
we can do a mandate this weekend
Me: hmm
someone asked me for a womandate
HAHA
Someone else: we can make it a three-way
Me: I thought you're not into girls
HAHA
Someone else: you assume that she's into boys.
maybe it'll be a weird three-way where no one is into anyone
Someone: [anorexia]'s nothing to do with genes
Me: it's a genes-environment mix
Someone: what does genes have to do with it at all?
it's a conscious choice to starve yourself
i don't feel compelled to starve
i choose to starve
Me: free will is an illusion
Someone: hurhur
that's rich comingfrom you
Me: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1575523.stm
Someone: relying on something as structured as academic writing to comprehend sometihng as chaotic as women's psychology is fail
all academics cando is to explore an extremely small portion of women
Me: that's like saying god is a mystery
so the human mind can never understand him
Someone: if god exists
if you can't even prove that then i don't even know what's there to explore
whereas female psychology is pretty real
Me: and general explanations of female psychology are pretty accurate too
for example women are more neurotic than men
Someone: well
to say that anorexia is mainly based on genes
how can they really prove it? scientists don't even know how genes really work up tothis point
they can only draw trends
and their sample size probably missed about 70% of girls who have anorexia
at leaxst 70%
they only got the medically critical ones
the ones who're dying from anoreixa
or malnutritioned
whatever
Me: did you even read the whole article
Someone: no i didn't read it
Me: SEE
can you at least read before making comments
Me: ...
this is like when research finds that short people are less healthy and poorer
and indignant short people write in saying that they're doing very well
people are statistically illiterate
Someone: i trust BBC health asmuch as i trust dailymail
unless you can give me a academic study of this
Me: the article DOES mention academic studies
but you already mentioned that you don't trust academics
so why waste (y)our time
Someone: it mentions academic studies from where?
what's the sample size
etc
you know the british press are great at taking things out of context
or creatiing news out of nothing
Me: that's why I read details
and what's wrong with BBC health
you are just dismissing things without even looking at them
likem ost people
Someone: most health articles on websites are sensational
or written to be sensational
Me: you didn't even read the article
and BBC health does not report breathlessly like most newspapers
popular science reporting is largely shit
but BBC health has a good record
Someone: right
you should give me more sources than BBC health then
Me: hello
most of them will report on the same study
and you can go and look yourself
I'm not your miner
