Oh and that is fine but then you have to ask yourself if you want to have a partnership with bad sex. If not, break up, or "teach" by communicating what you want, what is good and what is bad. There is no alternative, accept bad sex, break up, teach.

(Technically, you could let them have sex outside of the partnership to study, but... Well, not my cup of tea)

Which is why I am almost certain that there is a reason why they import raw sugar

Honestly I think, as a cis man, cis people are probably very bad at answering the question.

humans tend ignore "harmony". When you walk through the field, do you look each blade of grass or at the cow? Do you feel "non-pain"? How could you possibly explain someone pain that doesn't know pain? Do you remember the last time, you sat next to your friend watching a show on tv, in the same detail, you remember the conflict/discussion that you had with them?

Generally we will remember and pay attention to the things that are "wrong".

If your gender is right for you, why would you pay attention? What would you even pay attention to?

If it is wrong for you, you feel the "pain", see the cow and remember the conflict.

I understand your perspective but I want to ask a question, not to you, but for you to think about it. What motivation causes the imports?

If corn syrup is a replacement for whatever they are doing, why are they importing raw sugar? If raw sugar is cheaper than you would expect them to already use sugar for everything and not corn syrup, and switching to corn syrup would be an increase in cost . If raw sugar costs the same, import is additional paperwork, why import? Raw sugar is more expensive, why would they pay more?

Raw sugar can't be replaced easily in their use case? Now that makes sense.

No. That is the point.

Sugar is "fancy" as in "you don't need sugar for your diet".

Based on what I find online, the us import about $2B in raw-sugar, while some (about 100M) is exported again.

How much "processed" sugar leaves the us again? I am not sure. Maybe all of it.

Sugar too. That ain't healthy and is kinda fancy but... Can you see them losing their shit over sugar prices? I do.

Tomatoes imports were 2.5B in 2023.

Apparently the us imports 15% of it's food supply.

Isn't musk posting on Twitter all day everyday that he is playing Diablo?

(Sidenote: did you know musk is one of the top players in the leaderboard in Diablo iv? Totally unrelated; Did you know you can buy yourself, through gambling mechanics, quite an advantage with real money?)

I left Twitter on the day, musk bought it. I knew, I could trust him with my data and him firing so many people proved me right. Twitter isn't a safe place for your data.

His politics, now and then, would have been good reasons too but you don't need politics. Everyday it becomes clearer, Twitter will fail.

Hey, I think his point is rather simple and don't require much mental gymnastics, if you are a little generous in reading it by ignoring how it is phrased.

His thought process is,

You saw the meme and there is no comment or expression by you towards how they knew men voted for trump. You seemingly just accepted it but when I express the 52% statement, you correctly doubted my words and expressed interest in how people would know. Why did the potentially photoshopped screenshot from some random news channel with similar information, didn't trigger the same response in you?

Ofc it is flawed to assume that you weren't wondering about that when looking at the meme. For all everyone else knows, you saw me as someone who could tell you as I was presenting similar information. So their hostility wasn't proper. But the core of the question might be interesting for yourself, which is why I try to communicate it better.

If you weren't wondering about the method of obtaining the data in the meme, you might want to reflect on why.

Well said.

As a guy who used to be a young man and with a lot of young men as friends, retrospectively yeah, most issues were based in insecurities. You really want to be an adult and you feel like you should be one but you don't know how to be one. You go out and want to meet girls and you are scared of the rejection.

You can act like that is "anti-masculine" sentiment but it isn't. It is an understanding of humans.

Just as a sidenote, based on my experience every young adult is struggling with insecurities.
