I Bid You Stand, Men of the West

As someone who has been married for many years, I can say that I fell in love with my wife's soul, not her body. We've aged and neither one of us has the body that we did back then but I'm more in love with her than I was then.

I haven't conducted a scientific survey but I believe that most guys have a greater range of what they consider attractive than people generally think. Also, the inside can definitely boost the attractiveness of the outside. Your inner beauty will shine through. The "eyes of love" are definitely real.

The looks pushed by magazines, movies, clothing lables, etc. ebb and flow. Curvy hips and butts are in now, but slim and tight was in in the 90s.

"Why?" said the inventor. "Your grippers are stronger, more precise."

"Yes. But hands would be better for playing the piano."

"You can synthesize any sound."

"But I can not play music."

"Is there a difference?"

"South Africa, post-Apartheid, when the ANC assumed power in 1994, they inherited the most sophisticated economic engine on the African continent. They were handed a deep-water port network, a highly complex rail system that efficiently moved freight from the interior to the coast, an integrated national power grid that generated some of the cheapest electricity in the world, and a professional, rule-bound civil service. That system possessed underlying engineering and administrative principles that were globally competitive.

The historical task of the new government was simple: maintain the existing engineering standards, scale the capacity to include the black majority, and expand the productive tax base. Instead, the ANC executed a 30 year masterclass in structural vandalism and incompetence.

They introduced cadre deployment, incompetence, corruption, and political impunity, systematically replacing competent engineers, financial auditors, and institutional administrators with politically loyal party hacks. The results are not ideological; they are physical. It takes centuries of capital accumulation, spatial planning, and disciplined maintenance to build an interconnected civilization, but it takes only a few decades of deliberate neglect to destroy it.

I'd say that this boils my blood, but I'm so tired I'm just disappointed. If you side with the murderer, even if it's for clout, you're beyond help and if you have kids they should be taken from you. This "support" is getting out of hand.

Also, fun fact. If you're view is that she's "understandable" in her depression killing her 3 kids, one after the other, them the logical argument you are making is that depression excuses murder, and men should be held to that exact same standard. And men should really behind depressed men and raise money for him when he murders his wife and kids from depression. (I don't agree with this, but that's the logical argument you're making)

And if you're not ok with that standard then you believe women should be perpetual children for life devoid of literally any responsibility forever. Making you stupid AND sexist.
