Inspiration

 Rudyard Kipling - IF

Mr Kipling directed this at men, but I don't see why women can't be included.

I added the spaces so it might be easier to add an extra second to ponder each concept.

If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Men Giving Up on Women

So, I'm on youtube and for whatever reason I trip over a video describing why men are giving up on not only marriage but even women as well, deciding to stay pretty much single and even not bothering with women.

I didn't watch the video. I just read the comments.  Here is one where again I didn't watch the vid just looked at the comments of men explaining why and doing so in a calm matter of fact way.

MEN GIVING UP ON MARRIAGE

An acronym you may see a lot of in the comments MGTOW = Men Going Their Own Way.

There are TONS of these videos and TONS of similar comments from the guys.  There are also lots of reasons why many men are like this now so I won't even try to list them, though fear of divorce and being taken for a ride seems a big hitter.

And these are the women who look and seem fairly normal.

Society is breaking in my opinion.  It sure is different from when I was still dating all the way up to 23 years ago.  I'm glad I'm not on the dating scene now.  Frankly, I wouldn't even  bother.

 HERE IS A YOUTUBE SEARCH RESULTS LINK FOR "MEN GIVING UP ON WOMEN"

Lots don't even bother dating or even looking for casual sex anymore. Too risky.  Their experiences with women are apparently that bad.

So, what is on the other side of the ledger?  Always has to be the other side to the ledger right?  So I type "Women giving up on men" and also "Women giving up on marriage" in youtube search and Nothing relevant to women giving up comes up.  The same videos of men talking about giving up are what appear. 

If I type those search terms into a general internet search a couple hits come up but nothing that looks like credible widespread (non man hating) trends of women giving up on men.

Outside of man hating feminists, does anyone know any sane women who are giving up ?  

Thought this was an interesting cultural shift that I wasn't fully aware of and now I wonder if this is going on in other western  countries.  I don't see it getting better.

Now Convince Me That This Homicidal Maniac Psychiatrist Would Not

push a psychotic patient into performing a mass murder of white people, in a school, or any target rich environment filled with white people.   Thinking back, all the mass murders I can think of the last 20 years involved white people.  How many like her are out there.  Many is my guess. 

How they did that might involve drugs, hypnotic suggestion and other things in combination.  Remember most of the mass shooters, outside of pissed off former employees, looked like their brains were empty after they were picked up.  James Holmes - blank stare.  Dylan Roof even said he really didn't want to kill those church people as he really liked them - as a couple examples. Combine that with a democrat party that dreams about disarming America.  Gun violence plays right into their hands.  Gotta wonder.  I wouldn't trust a psychiatrist as far as I could throw them.

Here's the story that helps make the case.

PSA, EV's

 Charging your electric vehicle at home, using a standard 20 amp plug in that you already have on the garage wall will get you 4-5 miles of charge per hour.  After 10 hours, expect to be able to go 30-40 miles.

Wonder how the cost of that electricity compares to gas.

There is a level 2 set up which gets you 15-30 miles per hour of plug in charge so 10 hours gets you 150-300 miles the next day.  (Pretty ambiguous between 15 or 30 but that's what is on the vid.)  You'll need a professional to install that plug(s) in your garage.

I wonder how many EV buyers know this?

Here's a 6 minute vid with the guys talking about it.  The first 2:15 or so will get you the above info.

I don't see buying an EV, certainly not as a primary vehicle.  Maybe a secondary for short hops to the store.
