This is such a non-argument. Of course a business needs to take care of its expenses to survive, and then some. The question is how to appropriately distribute the budget for worker’s pay.
No CEO can work 300x as hard as the other workers.

That sounds really nice! May I ask what you did?
I finally saw beardyman live yesterday! It was an absolute blast.
I love Jazz apples but pink lady never grew on me. They are like polar opposites, I think.
And my Axe!
Jazz apples are my favorite too!
Thank you too. It is very refreshing to have such a pleasant interaction on the internet.
Yep, that is pretty much how I understand it as well
One punch man is super interesting to me. It takes the shounen genre and turns it on its head. How can the main character possibly improve, when they are already the strongest in the whole universe? Well, turns out raw strength is not all that matters. And OPM is a funny way of looking at this conundrum our society has prepared for young men. Definitely one of my favorites as well.
The top level comment was deleted by now, so I’m not sure about the context. But Theres a difference between looking and staring.
I mean, I agree with you observation, but your suggestion seems asinine. I don’t think 90% of men go for looks only. A majority, probably, but I’d guess more like 60-70%. Also, men in their 30s generally also start to understand that looks aren’t everything. So just because a woman is single at 30 does not mean she has to settle for “the least worse”
As a man, here is my understanding, so take it with a grain of salt.
While men staring at women is a problem, it is not what is meant by “male gaze”. That term is usually used to describe the way societal norms regarding women were strongly formed by men and what they like. The way conservatives generally expect women to present themselves and behave is heavily influenced by the male gaze. To my understanding, the exact standards differ by culture, but usually its along the lines of being submissive and fitting some beauty standard.
If a person who is read as female (aka “looks like a woman”) does not adhere to those standards, they will face ramifications, because our society mostly has men calling the shots. On the flip side, people who are read as female, and try to please the male gaze while also genetically being lucky enough to fit the beauty standards, can benefit from it (see: beauty privilege).
Regarding your plan to not be a dick, I think if you just treat people as people, regardless of their appearance, you are (passively) working against the perpetuation of the male gaze. I think that would also mean you’re not discriminating anyone.
Apologies if I misunderstood your comment and you were not asking/looking for an explanation.
A few years ago I moved to a new city but hadn’t had any luck dating. One day I matched a girl on some online dating site who immediately started sexting aggressively. Usually I’m the more intimate type, but I thought that I hadn’t had sex in a while so I went for it.
She took the lead and started giving me head, which wasn’t so bad honestly. But I just couldn’t get into it. When she rode me I didn’t get fully limp, but I wasn’t really hard either. At some point she apparently came (or just got bored of my dead fish impression) and I pretty quickly packed my things and left.
That day I learned I really need some type of emotional connection with a person before having sex works for me.
Why do so many people hate cottage cheese? I love the texture and it tastes pretty bland, so you can just add some herbal salt and pepper to make it pretty tasty
I was also thinking “sure, big animals are scary. But have you considered the tiny #1 human killer?”
It didn’t take long for this video to make me shudder. Cool, but creepy.
Lol I wasn’t aware of that being a thing, here in Germany we usually only say that Bielefeld (a German city) doesn’t exist.
But isn’t Dane a noun? I thought the adjective was danish.
I doubt that.
