I think both are true, if you are accomplished, but know no woman (n=0), your chances of finding a suitable partner are very low, same for if you are full of problems but have a big n. Tbh I don't think this is particularly PUA advice.

If you don't have a good metric to measure something with, relying on a bad one is arguably harmful as it gives a false sense of authority/trust. The metric can still be used in extensive studies (that take nuance into account), b

You mean that a compelled expression of a view is not disingenuous? Forcing someone to express their support is the definition of disingenuous, because they do not do it out of their own volition. I think virtue-signal is perfectly suitable

I don't since I'm pretty young, but a few people I follow do talk about it. Check out Greg Doucette on Youtube qho talks about it a lot. (Although I think there are better sources online and you should ask your doctor)

I don't think that's what the parent meant. If someone is intoxicated, I agree that it seems weird to disregard their consent when drugs+alcohols are the social lubricant of society (and very interwined with sex). Also, of course

That's not the point. The person playing the game would pay 10cents in carbon tax or something, which is insignificant to them . The person with a bitcoin farm would have to pay much much more, which is a disincentive. And even if it

Carbon tax is not about making something illegal. You playing a game 4h/day is nothing compared to 1000 gpus mining 24/7. One is pennies in tax and the other would (presumably) be way more significant.

Who draws that line? Corrupt politicians? Million dollar lobbying? Lines are smokescreen in front of the real problem. They mostly serve to protect the establishment. Ok, no more bitcoin, but what about the heavily subsidized dairy industry
