Long Summary
In this episode, we explore the concept of taking risks and the responsibility that comes with it. I stress that individuals cannot complain when a risk they willingly took does not have the desired outcome, comparing it to a gambler complaining about losing money. I use various examples such as biking without touching the handlebars or making high-stakes bets to illustrate this point.
I also discuss the risks involved in modern marriage and criticize those who complain about potential financial losses, highlighting the risks of the past such as illness and death. I emphasize the importance of choosing a quality partner rather than prioritizing physical attractiveness or a "hot mess" mentality.
Furthermore, I delve into the risks and difficulties faced in the past, including high rates of prostitution and diseases without cures. Through these historical examples, I suggest that risks and challenges are present in life regardless of the time period.
To conclude, I express my personal perspective on self-ownership and the importance of not allowing others to take it away. I also welcome donations to support the show.

My show from 2006 on global warming...
Back when I had to use 40k/s because bandwidth was so expensive!
Sent this to a girl I like… “Hey (name) ,
I was just thinking about you, would you like to get coffee sometime?”
Left on read on Facebook messenger so may either follow up or move on in a week. I texted her four months ago but she wasn’t too responsive.
We went to college together but haven’t really spoken since then which was a few years ago
Met her once between then but that was it
Any suggestions?
