ybe one of them was pretty good, and the others were just different material, different shirts. They all have the same fit, so that part's good. But I don't understand why people can't make a shirt every single time. Do you know how often a shirt-making company should be able to make a great shirt? Every time. Did nobody put that shirt on before they took it to mass production? Just put it on, see…
← Previous segment →sn't? How hard can it be? It turns out it wasn't hard. It was pretty easy to make a T-shirt that wasn't terrible. And so they made them, and apparently they're doing well. So Untuckit is pretty good, but I would say I still don't understand. Why just make all their shirts like the best one?
All right, that was a detour you didn't care about.
I saw a tweet from somebody named Comrade Bridget, a woman who said more and more left women — so women on the left — are standing up for themselves and refusing to date men who watch porn. So apparently this is sort of a movement. Women on the left are refusing to date men who watch porn. What would be the possible unintended side effects if this became a thing, a bigger thing? Unintended side effects? Well, civilization would be fathered entirely from that point on by men who have low sex drive and/or are huge liars. So we would be breeding selectively men with low sex drive, probably low testosterone, and/or possibly gigantic liars who say that they don't do that.
I've told this story before. There was a woman I knew in my 20s, and she had a technique for filtering new dates to find out if they were good or bad people on the first date before they even got to know each other. She would just look at him and say, "Do you masturbate?" On the first date. She would just throw that in the conversation totally out of nowhere, just throw it in. And what did most men say? Well, to their credit, most men said, "Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do." But she told me there was one guy who said he didn't masturbate because he doesn't need to. He doesn't masturbate because he doesn't need to. What do you think she did with that guy? She said, "Well, I found my first liar." That was his last date. Such an obvious lie.
But the woman who tweeted this, whose name is Bridget, she describes herself as a radical feminist, Marxist, and revolutionary. No, not radical. She describes herself as a Marxist and revolutionary feminist.
I've got another possible explanation of what's going on here, big picture sort of thing. Before there was porn, there were men and women of various sexable characteristics. Some very sexy, and you'd like to get with them. Some very not sexy, and you didn't want to get with them very much. But it's all you had. People, right? Just people or your imagination. And people are better than your imagination even if your imagination is pretty good. Mine's pretty good. People are still better. So if you had a choice, you'd take a person even maybe not somebody who's a perfect sexual monster. Maybe you'd lower your sights a little bit.
Then comes porn, which is not only made better every year but more targeted to your exact kink. And if you can target somebody's exact kink, it's got like a 10x power to it compared to generic stuff that's made for everybody. And once you get to that level of porn power, the women on the one side of the distribution curve — the ones who are let's say not killing it with the looks and the sex appeal — they have gone below the level which makes them worthwhile for dating. Because you might prefer a really hot woman over porn if you're a man, but you no longer prefer a not hot woman over porn.
Men, back me up on this. No matter what you think of porn, it's still better than some people, right? It's not better than somebody you really connect with, but it's better than a lot of people. And porn's getting better while people are getting worse. I would argue that being a Marxist revolutionary feminist is maybe one problem that makes porn look more attractive to men. Just putting that out there.
All right, this was actually a Tim Pool tweet I saw coincidentally. Black Lives Matter is now more unpopular than popular. So it crossed over. So remember way back in the Charlott

esville rally, and then Black Lives Matter became a big thing. And then there were a bunch of high-profile police actions in which Black people were killed. And then Black Lives Matter was more and more popular. Well, just about the time they didn't need them anymore — whoever they is — their popularity sank because the media is no longer propping them up. So the media has sort of withdrawn their…
