    Tell her to find a younger man.

    I suggested that. Apparently younger men aren't interested in relationships. I thought going cougar was the thing to do for women.
    Actually, I don't know why I was ignoring the real issue. Tell her that you're just not into her, or that you'll call her if things don't work out with the kid.

    Yup, the men are pathetic and sexist and revolting. I wouldn't fuck 'em.

    I wish there was more about the women, though.

    It's all fucked up and quite sad, really.

    I just feel the brides know what's going on there more clearly than the grooms. They're less deluded, which is why I feel less sorry for them.

    Well, they're doing something unpleasant to get out of poverty and starvation. I mean, when you look at the stuff people do to come to the West - drug dealing or hijacking or murder or whatever - I figure getting faux-married to some sad specimen of a guy isn't too terrible.

    Oh no, I quite agree. It's not that bad at all. I've had friends who've done much much worse in their lives.

    I just can't see it as a 'male exploiter vs female exploited' situation, which I feel is the conventional viewpoint.

    No, I am not joking. Obviously we are having some kind of miscommunication going on here because what you are saying doesn't make a lick of sense to me, like, I can't even figure out what you are trying to argue at this point. So if you would spell out what you are trying to get at right now I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Yeah it's not like cougars don't exist.

    She obviously just wants a piece of you.

    Edit: so beat'd

    Damn it.

    She was one of my high school flings. It's safe to say that she's probably crazy. I'm hoping the whole "Christ he's an asshole" will be a turnoff and she'll wander off to find someone else.

    I am totally getting an iPad, now that I have thought about it for a few days.

    I can put all my game books away for good and rely on PDFs on a smallish mobile device that are legible and in color. YAY!

    Also, remote desktop client, 1024x768. Sexy.

    Yeah! You also can't listen to your music while you read your game books!

    Or install the software you want to install!

    Or browse the web freely because there's no flash!

    Save your fucking money and get a netbook.
    umm, you totally CAN listen to your music, just can;t stream pandora. Unless you are using an RDC like I plan to, in which case I can do everything and anything I want on a super light super thin slate, including multitasking while browsing and using flash on my webpages.

    Ha. Ha. Ha.

    Who fed you that bullshit? It's pretty well known at this point that the iPad doesn't support flash and you can only do one task at a time.
    Look up RDC sometime and see what it entails.

    Needless to say, I plan on having a massively powerful machine or two behind my DOCIS 3.0 connection that I can pretty much do anything on, anywhere I happen to be, because of the cheap 3G plan for this thing.

    Never, ever hand your computer to someone to be fixed expecting any data you care about on it to survive.

    I swear to god formatting the hard drive is like step 2 of every professional troubleshooting process.

    I think if there is an identifying characteristic to fascism it is the emphasis on unified belief/thought/action. You can be left-wing or right-wing authoritarian but fascism to me is something that happens in addition to that; it implies a quest for some sort of cultural "purity."

    From the article it feels more like 'male lonely/bitter damaged goods vs female desperation/opportunism' with a side order of self-delusion on both sides.

    The writer sums it up quite nicely by saying they basically want a wife who combines '50's subservience with 21st century bedroom antics.
