The last comment about 'be a nice guy' is interesting.

I was listening to Joe Rogan Experience, and they mentioned something about how the genesis of the 'woman hater' is actually the forever-friend-zoned-nice-guy who gets so fed up with being 'taken for granted'/'shot down' that his niceness turns into hatred

It made sense to me. Essentially, the woman hater is what becomes of a boring nice guy who lacked the patience/endurance to wait for women his age to make their way through all the exciting unreliable men before being satiated (or just getting too old to fetch the interesting men's attention) and finally settling for the nice guy that was boringly always available.



And I get it. It plays into the human natural value system, where things that are scarce are more valuable.

The ahole is fleeting. You can't always have him, and if you do you can't hold him, so he has an element of scarcity, which creates value.

The nice guy will reliably stick around if you go with him, so he is less scarce, so he is less valuable. The lower value in turn makes him more likely to be single and always available, further reducing his scarcity, and further devaluing him, and further increasing his chances of being single. A feedback loop.

I suppose that there is also a 3rd path - the element of nice guys that just stop giving a crap before turning into haters, which makes them more scarce, which actually finally gets them attention, and they stop being single.

(And a 4th path - nice guy finds 'a girl who wants a nice guy from the start'. In my observation this isn't the typical case.)



Cases like this (forever alone nice guy, not specifically Mr Van Driver) are when I think 'arrangement' web sites create a good solution. The guys get to not be lonely anymore, and the women gets taken care of. Kind of plays into the nice guy natural instinct, too.

Amusingly, 'arrangement' may be a better fit for the forever-alone nice guys than 'waiting it out'.
In both cases (waiting vs arrangement) the women are mainly after stability/support.
The older women 'nice guy' matches with by 'waiting it out' would not have picked 'nice guy' if they still had the looks to keep pulling exciting men.
So, if you're gonna be with someone because they want you for support, why not just go with a younger woman and be up front about the situation. If it doesn't work out, either party can walk away. No messy divorce. Seems like a safer and more practical option.

(Not picking on older women, just observing that : as people get older, the single scene becomes more and more 'leftovers' that are 'left over for a good reason'. The odds of finding anyone worth while diminish with time, because the highest quality individuals get retained first. Wait long enough, and you're left with over the hill jaded pragmatists who once may have had looks but now have nothing left to offer. At which point, both 'arrangement' and 'being single' are legitimately better options.)



Regarding Mr. Van Guy specifically, I'm not sure if he had a chance. He had some social anxiety that made him unable to talk to people. So he was likely not gonna get a partner naturally, and was unlikely to succeed among professional peers well enough to get the financial security necessary to be some sugar daddy.

So, yeah, dude was likely a romantic dead end. Possibly even the same mental (brain developmental?) issues that made him unable to talk to people also made him susceptible to getting the sort of crazy tilted that allowed him to run people over. The dude could have actually been fated (circumstantially) to end up in tragedy. Just speculating, wouldn't shock me.

The reason we live in dystopian future... today... Excellent fan video released on the internet, stirs up a reinterest in a shitty old intellectual property, people who profit from this buzzes response? Take the video away from the masses. F U, aholes.

I just... I get it, but it doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel like the internet I voted for! lol

Poor woman.. But then again, she look old enough to be a seasoned pro and you never pull threads from a prop dress, they sometimes are held up by a piece of string, there's really no time to do complex fittings so the wardrobe dep makes these quick-fixes very often. The director sounded like an ahole, shouting really does not help here...

Good point, in either case he was a retard... A good snowplough driver will let you know if it safe by showing the right turn signal or by pulling over. Then again that might've not been a good snowplough driver so you'll get ahole+ahole=carnage.

Opiates are evil stuff, they make you feel like nothing really matters, that pink cloud.. I turn in to a ahole, i start stealing and treating the closest like crap. Fast addiction, fastest curve on any drug i've done. Absolutely wonderful if taken correctly, very hard to control and tolerance builds up fast making it also dangerous. Personally, i've been always uppers-man but heroin is the only one from the downer world that i could picture getting in trouble with. I keep my distance with it and have eradicated all h users from my life: you can't trust an opiate junkie, they WILL steal from you and snitch you up (the downside of that pink cloud, it clouds your morals big time...)

Oh, and prepare for constipation. That is no joke, watch what you eat, take a LOT of fibers and remember to keep yourself hydrated.

. I suspect about 90% of cops aren't bad - and I suspect about 90% of people aren't bad.
That said, how sad is it that a cop not hassling a protester has become so rare to be noteworthy?


In my experiance police are really just bad. I think your 90% figure is close to 100% wrong. I'm not a criminal, But I've had to deal with them from time to time, many times about things that I wasn't the instagator of, and a few where it was me that f'd up .. They escalate all situations as soon as they show up! They lie anytime it suits them, they will put their lies in writing and play god with peoples lives and futures, based on their judgement of situations. They are power tripping Aholes who think that civilians are the enemy scum, there is nothing more imporatant to them than THIER safety and that THEY are shown respect.
Hell, if they are shown enough respect they might actually let crimes be forgiven (by them....our overlords).
And as it has been pointed out already, a video of a cop doing nothing evil is on the top 20 list of the sift. Yay.

I detest seeing wild animals in concrete pens... Spring for some dirt and trees you cheap aholes...

I don't get it. I mean really. None of you knew Kane had him in his back pocket? If the Red Wing were not such cheap Aholes they could of had the refs in theirs.

Good find - fk me dead if that's not the definition of ironic.

Recently Metallica seem to be trying to be making amends and apologising for being such aholes about the whole Napster thing, which is good to see. Now we can get back to criticising their music (and haircuts).

I've loved three dead trolls for years now, this one is new to me but I've got copies of several others they did a few years ago. Welcome to the Internet Help Desk, The Ahole Song, and I Am Canadian among the favorites. They also did a version of The Ahole Song which they claim predates the Dennis Leary version, and it probably did.

Totally agree about the Macaualy Corker thing, She looks like him if he had testosterone treatment, which is unfair because she is a fine actress but I just thought starbuck was an ahole most of the time.

The guy in this video doesn't know the first thing about Wikipedia. Most bad edits get removed within minutes, and they're footnote-aholics.

All TV news is dumbed down compared to the best blogs. Yes, there's a lot of crap on the internet, but intelligent people can sift through it. The worst examples of stupidity I've seen on the internet are the World of Warcraft forums and the comments on YouTube.
