![]() I might even have failed at this but I still married the girl so apparently there’s some flexibility in the system.Ģ. I approached this one by imagining what kind of guy I’d want my daughter to bring home, distilling that down to some essential qualities I knew I had and could convey in a “meet the parents” type setting if it came up in the natural course of things, and then making sure I didn’t do anything horribly stupid or impolite. Does being “redpilled” change the end goal? I’d think the goal is usually pretty consistent. I’m not clear on how “red pill” ties in here. The only outright good/bad thing being if animals are clearly mistreated. Value judgement, again: cat is different from big dog is different from yappy little dog. Otherwise, it’s a value judgment on your part.Īs for pets, I mean, you can get a read on the sort of person someone is by their pets. Obviously, being a raging alcoholic is probably not good. Because that says “this person lives a healthy lifestyle but isn’t obsessive about it.” Likewise, offering you a beer is different from demanding you do shots, and seeing a couple wine bottles in the recycling bin is different from a recycling bin packed full of bottles of cheap liquor. Probably the “best” thing to see is someone who’s diet is mostly reasonable healthy stuff but with a little junk or whatever. What kind of a person are you?

Someone whose pantries are full of Kraft Dinner, that sends a different message from someone who has nothing but meat and steamed vegetables, sends a different message from someone who is a raw vegan. But opening it up as a vague question like “hmmm… what do you think about this almost infinite combination of topics” is bad manners.ĭoes anyone else have a type of comment they hate?ĭepends on how things are coded. If you have something specific to say about one of these relations, that’s one thing. I might have a nice pat answer about Capital, as a single topic, but in order to relate it to something new I have to unpack it, examine the constituent parts and how they might relate to the constituent parts of some other complex topics. “How far was Dworkin influenced by Marx, and how does that relate to current attitudes towards Transgender people?” (very bad) “How do you think the theories of Marx as detailed in Capital explain the rise of Trump?” (bad) “What do you think of Capital by Marx?” (good) I feel like combining topics leads to a rapid multiplication in complexity, and a reduction in the probability of a useful answer. There is a specific type of top level comment that I really dislike: The Question With Many Topics. Hi, long time reader, first time complainer.
