Oh, she says well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And I says to her, I says, oh shit, you’re right. So I bought like fifty thousand envelopes. Filled the house with ‘em, toes to tits. It was horrible. We couldn’t take a step without tripping over a box of envelopes.

Please don’t ask me about those goddamned awful envelopes ever again. Kurt Vonnegut

Whenever a man in position of authority pursues a subordinate woman, he is changing her trajectory in that space forever. The research on how much even “consensual” affairs hurt the women involved is jaw dropping.

in my day you didn’t let a computer tell you what bands to like, you went to a record store and let a burnout who smelled like used Egg McMuffins do that

thank you mentioning one of the many problems we've yet to discuss: that man cannot YEARN! I do not believe in his capacity to feel an earnest and heartfelt emotion At All! Let alone sustain it for 90 min of screentime!
