Another upside to cutting your teeth on a crazy girl is your eventual wife gets to seem very cool later. I landed my agentic wordcel husband when he was fresh out of a relationship with an unstable girl and the comparison made me look supremely wifeable
Good distinction between "slightly maladjusted hippy dippy artsy fartsy chicks who get a little too much attention and validation for their own good"; and "bunny boiler should be under the care of a psychologist and should not be allowed near men, children or sharp objects" types.
There are lots more of the first than the second. But most maladjusted women I've met have a lot of overlap between the two categories. And most of the first will cause women to develop some Gloria Trillo/Livia Soprano toxicity. Believe me - I've seen it.
Commenting only to say I appreciated the “LARPing faggotron” line. I’ve heard only one other person call someone a faggotron, and he’s a good friend of mine. Also refers to earmuffs as faggmuffs, as is appropriate.
My idea for an Awesome date with a BPDemon is that we both hike Halfdome together and once we’re at the very top push that Bitch Demon off and watch her slide to her death. 😆🤣🤣🤣
I think I made it clear enough on here my feelings about BPDemons from my up close and personal experience two years ago. I’ll maybe repeat it only for newfags here.
"Such women have always existed in society going back to far antiquity, and play a crucial role both in absorbing the excess libidinal energy of male elites and seasoning younger men such that their eventual wifeys experience them as swaggering roguish hubs material as opposed to overly credulous and deferential wholesome chungus spaghetti-spilling cherubic wife guys."
In Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, the protagonist sleeps with an old cantina singer and flamenco dancer who's his an older guy's sidepiece, and it's portrayed as helping him get over his PTSD from fighting in the war. It's pretty woke in a lot of ways, but being written in 1977 there's still a lot of realism about relations between the sexes.
"B"'s are a subtype of "A" the way a pitbull is a subtype of dog. Two thirds of all maulings by domestic dogs are done by pitbulls which means they do double the amount of attacks of all non-pitbull dogs combined. Of course it's ackshully a dog but not recognising how uniquely dangerous it is could have catastrophic results.
you had me for a second but I had some help decoding this wordcelery

I think Walt has an interesting point.
But I also think he's making it harder to read than it needs to be.
Ironically, the paragraph is about whether complexity is justified, and Walt demonstrates his preference for complexity by writing a paragraph that could have been 70% shorter without losing much meaning.
For example, I'd rewrite it as:
"Dave tends to resist new conceptual language, preferring simple, stable models that generalize well. That may simply reflect his cognitive style. My own instinct is different: I prefer richer conceptual frameworks that explain more edge cases and anticipate common misunderstandings."
Same idea.
About one-third the cognitive load.
> So yes, tell Walt I said hello. And if he fires back with a lovingly overengineered paragraph dismantling my criticism, I'll happily read it. I enjoy conversations with people who are trying to build ideas rather than score points.
...Just ask him to define hyperontoteleological metadiscourse before he uses it. 😏

How to improve your game? Why not apply a DnD stats framework?
They're subsets of Charisma and Wisdom, but listing them out might be useful.

@Meta Ronin I had Grok summarize the article for me. 🤣 Walt articles are too long winded for my ADHD ass.😆

Aren’t you the least bit embarrassed writing this stuff?
