Search Results: has he lost interest

• No one cares who you are or what you think unless you’re super successful/famous
• Don’t forget the nice guy finishes last. Being nice makes you lose at life/women
• Most men are slaves building the world while receiving minimal pay, minimal recognition for skilled work. Like a builder for example, even saying you’re an engineer wouldn’t impress many especially women.
• Most of the things women prioritise in men don’t even make a good person/man - like how much money he has, how tall/muscly he is, how handsome blah blah. Women are evolved to only care for the best specimen of man on the planet
• I myself am baffled how I haven’t managed to find a really nice pretty girl, because I often wonder - what don’t I have? I got it all
• Why do think it’s mostly men that tragically end themselves - because all the cards/odds are against us, the whole game is rigged and too insanely competitive.
• Not to mention, women are empowered whereas men are just toxic masculinity?
• As men we have to go through things on our own. There’s often just no other choice most of the time. Our frustrations and feelings mean nothing and are mostly disregarded and viewed as pathetic weakness. I’ve heard of women lose interest in a man when he cried or showed emotion

Rant over. What do you think? Fair?

Obviously metaphors change over time. "Netflix & chill" has replaced "Hanky panky" and that's fine. Languages evolve (except the damn French & their purity council but that's for another question) but does the changing of metaphors represent that we are less widely read, historically knowledgeable or biblically literate? Or is it just natural evolution?

Do you make any assumptions about people if they don't know what a "Catch 22" or "manna from heaven" mean?

Other than the Bible & Shakespeare NO ONE has given us more words & phrases than the Lost Generation / Roaring 20s. They are simply delightful!

The link gift article has a county breakdown if you're interested.

The countermeasures are aimed at industries that employ roughly 7.75 million people across the United States. The bulk of those — 4.48 million — are in counties that voted for Mr. Trump in the last election, compared with 3.26 million jobs in counties that voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a calculation by The Times that included examining retaliatory tariffs on more than 4,000 product categories.

The jobs that could be hit by retaliation are especially concentrated in pockets of the upper Midwest, South and Southeast, including many rural parts of the country that are responsible for producing agricultural goods. It also includes areas that produce coal, oil, car parts and other manufactured products.

Rural parts of the country are once again at risk from retaliation. Agriculture is a major U. S. export and farmers are politically important to Mr. Trump. And rural counties may have one major employer — like a poultry processing plant — that provides a big share of the county’s jobs, compared with urban or suburban areas that are more diversified.

In an address to Congress earlier this month, Mr. Trump implied that farmers could be hit again, saying there may be “an adjustment period” as he put tariffs in place on foreign products. There may be “a little disturbance,” he said. “We are OK with that. It won’t be much.

Mr. Trump said he had told farmers in his first term to “‘Just bear with me,’ and they did. They did. Probably have to bear with me again,” he said.
