I just realized this morning that kids don't play cards so much anymore. So they aren't playing bad card games over lunch like we used to. Is that a loss? I don't even know. I guess I should teach my niblings how to play President.

You've misread this conversation multiple times and listed irrelevant sources you obviously didn't read. Whatever you're doing with AI, it isn't helping you engage in a meaningful way, unfortunately.

Meta-studies about self-reports reflect gendered expectations. It's easy to look up all the counter arguments that cite and debunk them. I didn't say anything about dignity or self-discipline. You're building a strawman to fight.

You need to stop asking AI to do your thinking for you. You're just a bot's typist at this point.

What does chatGPT have to do with this? This is nonsensical. The way sex work functions supports my argument, not yours. How do you think being treated like a buyable object that also makes sandwiches impacts a person's libido?

www.mdpi.com/2076-328X/14... The relevant sources you cite are based on surveys and self-reports. Men are encouraged to overestimate and women to underestimate re: this, so you're just pointing to gender expectations. When they test these questions empirically, there is no gender difference.

Well, it sure is a Monday. Oh wait.

Go ahead, let's see those serious studies. The idea that women's sex drive is weaker than men's is a Victorian idea. Prior to that, women were always understood as having the stronger sex drive. That makes a lot more sense, considering how women's bodies function.

You're characterizing men as mindless beasts without the ability to control their behaviour or think rationally. That belief that would be characterized as misandry if it weren't being used to make space for men to avoid accountability or judgment. It seems like a pretty charged issue for you, too.

This behaviour is not some biological quandary. These are actions that come from a belief that women are objects that can be used rather than people.

It sounds like what they find unreasonable is the expectation that they a) pay attention before they are the victims themselves, at which point of course everyone needs to stop everything and pay attention, and b) care about the suffering of others.

You're welcome to learn more about Canadian history, but it doesn't strengthen your argument that there are regions of Canada that want to join the US. Literally there are not. Quebec was never interested in joining the US, and Quebec is so left-leaning you might hurt yourself reading about it.

You asked a question which I answered, and you supported the idea of a region of Canada claiming US citizenship. You're arguing with yourself.

Lying and being incorrect entertains and delights you, apparently. No. There is no region in Canada advocating to join the US. Conservatives are not in rebellion against the King. Every part of Canada is actively boycotting the US.

No Canadian province or territory has treaties with First Nations. They aren't entitled to withdraw regions from those agreements. Canadians who want to leave Canada leave without land. What you're describing is called immigration, and your government isn't very keen on it.

I thought Clara Zetkin died in 1933 at the age of 75, but today I learned she's been living in Portland with her girlfriend. Does she has a gofundme to support her efforts to evade American authorities, or
