People see business owners the way women see men.
They only see the top 20% and ignore everyone else and it's so frustrating.
So I feel the need to set the record straight as I've been in business for almost a year.
1. Most business are SMALL. We don't have much runway. So stop ripping us off assuming we can take the hit, we cant.
2. If we seem greedy/cheap please see #1. We have no safety net so if we go under we're SOL. So we can't waste money.
TO be continued....
Yes, I know Christmas was placed on top of an existing celebration at the same time of the year and all. But who cares? Christmas is more important than any pagan holiday, so Christmas it is!
Boy, a whole lot of "Christmas" songs that have are not actually about Christmas (that is, Jesus), were made by those who are not Christian! What a coincidence! Of course they want to make Christmas all about snow and presents, because they sure do not want it to be about Jesus!
Or whenever there is any mention of it being such a "wonderful time of year" without acknowledging WHY there is any celebration in the first place, you don't have to wonder why they are doing it. They just hate Jesus.
I see this as another critical aspect of why men's sports are more popular than women's sports. It is not just men being more capable in their physicality. They are also far more likely to bring out their best abilities for the entire game, even in a one sided match where everyone can see who will win. It is far less enjoyable to watch a match where one side stops even trying in the middle of the event.
Speaking of which, I should also mention that the men in this situation would have nothing to lose by fighting, because they are probably going to die anyways. Better to fight as hard as you can if you have nothing lose. Women who would do the same would have something to lose, so it makes sense for them to shut down even trying.
When applied to less violent competitions such as sports, we are going to see these traits play out even when there is no threat of death. It is just instinct.
My guess to why this happens is due to epigenetics taking place. In the event of a competition, the men need to still fight on against their enemies in order to save as many of their own as possible, and even when losing they can still make a difference in the overall survival of their own side.
Women, on the other hand, would have no need for this response, as they would most likely survive as the spoils of war for the victorious opponents, unlike the men who would not be spared.
We all know the meme of high school boys being able to beat the national women's team in a sports match. Anyone who is not a moron understands that men are faster and stronger than women, so it is no surprise the boys win every time.
But there is another major difference I have observed between boys and girls playing sports. In a one sided match, the boys on the losing side will still square up their best effort until the end. When this happens in a girls' game, the losing side just gives up.
This is a good point and parallels the censorship debate.
To mock something is to make it important.
@Tfmonkey That's right, you are Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force! Clever of you saying that you live in California, when we all know Carl lives in New Jersey! You almost threw me off your trail. But little by little, the truth could no longer be denied.
I think I cracked the code with you @Tfmonkey. You can no longer hide your true identity. Talking about your love of flip flops and comfortable clothes? Your mention of a having too much fat around the midsection? Your degenerate lifestyle?
This is you. Don't deny it. You know I am right.
Just think about shows that take place in the 50s, such as Leave it to Beaver. Was there anything gay in that show? No. You cannot pivot off of media like that to start pushing for pro-gay propaganda. You have to be sneaky.
"Ha ha, gay people are weird!"
Then suddenly in shows later on:
"Hey, maybe we were too hard on gays! We should see that they are just like you and me!"
You can't pivot from "we did a bad thing" to "let's do a 'good' thing" without that pivot point.
I have a bit of a conspiracy theory with the trajectory of all the LGBT crap that has manifested to this point.
Early on in media, homosexuals started out as being the target of jokes. This was effective at placing gays in the forefront of people's minds, easing them to the idea while seemingly being against them. By getting their foot in the door this way, it became much easier to push for pro-gay propaganda in shows such as Will and Grace. Because people are now used to seeing gay characters.
Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.
