Attack Of The Grapes
|
Ok so the description on this video said he was electrocuted, but I still would like to think this Brazillian news reporter was attacked by some sort of mutant flesh eating grapes.

| I wouldn't bedugrge the man anything—but he's explicitly declined to act in kind.I don’t really have a problem with the stretches where I’m getting laid and getting other fun benefits of being with a girlfriend type on a consistent basis and get to spend the rest of time and energy focusing on things other than girls.Yes, absolutely, and I'm glad you said that if only so I could point out that I don't really know anybody who disagrees. Even people like who can come off as misogynist talk about characteristics in women that wouldn't matter if all you ever wanted to do was tap them.I also think people project a lot in these types of debates. Jim, I see no special reason to believe that Tucker’s just trolling the guy.I wrote my first comment on this thread quickly and I have to clarify myself now: I'm not saying Tucker Max was deliberately clowning the interviewer.Everybody knows the fable of the . There is a fox, let's call him Ellsberg, who finds he can't reach some tasty-looking grapes and then asserts that they are sour. The story works because the fox has a credibility problem. We can't prove that the grapes aren't sour, but we can make a valid about his assertion. The most economical explanation for his having made it is not that the apparently ripe grapes are really sour, but that he'd feel better for thinking and/or saying so. So now another fox, Tucker, shows up, leaps far higher than Ellsberg ever could even with $15,000 in grape-leaping training, and savors the grapes. Ellsberg comes up to the fox and calls him immature for being so eager to get the grapes, and then he wants to know if the grapes were really that good anyway. Well, saying, "Yeah, man, those grapes were freaking awesome and if I died right now I'd be satisfied with my life for having eaten them," is not a very interesting response. The sexy fox might say stuff like, well, maybe I could have done other things besides leaping around for grapes. Maybe I will, too: maybe I'll try rabbit hunting next. And this little bitch of a fox Ellsberg cries, there you see! They were sour! And then he shows off the one fat loudmouth of a rabbit that he has somehow managed to catch and invites us all to believe that Tucker the fox is really envious of him.All Tucker Max actually said in the interview was that he'd done things in his twenties some of which he wasn't proud of and that he was currently gearing himself up for a new set of challenges in his life. He never said he was miserable. He's quoted as saying "There's an emptiness and a loneliness to hooking up so much." Big deal. This doesn't support half as much as Ellsberg tries to hang on it. Max's Nowitski analogy is again spot on, and the end of that quoted paragraph reads: "Don't get me wrong, I had a great time being who I was the past decade [not something Ellsberg can say]. But I just feel it's time for me to move on." This quote could have applied just as easily to an artist changing from one medium to another in mid-life, or a top figure skater musing on some aspects of a more normal childhood she may have missed out on. But because we're talking about sex here, we get this: "See! See! He's miserable and he hates himself!" I don't buy it. More economical to believe that he's an achiever, who's decided that he has already mastered crushing piles of pussy and wants to try his hand at something else, to adapt and to grow and to keep squeezing life's grapes.If you check out the wikipedia entry on the fox-grape story, you find out something interesting: in two separate poetic traditions (French and Greek) the grapes take on a sexual double-entendre. Apparently there have been Ellsbergs at least since antiquity.It's clear what you [Jim] want the truth to beYeah, I don't expect you to disregard my motivations for saying what I say, especially after I just did it with the fox-abduction story. So I wrote a thousand words trying to convince you that mine really is the best interpretation of the evidence. In terms of what I "want," though, what I really want is for people to stop trying to weaponize certain words, words like "immature" and "lonely." Before I take someone seriously who is using these words I need to have a lot of respect for his accomplishments and his experience, wisdom, etc. Otherwise it's just a pathetic attempt to cow and undermine men and steal their spirit. I've seen what this can do to people and I don't like it. I've seen a virtuoso musician wasting his talent and creativity and health because his mom told him, hey, what if you hurt your hands and can't play? "Be afraid of life and ashamed of living it." Isn't there a Who song about this kind of thing?Ok now since I just ate almost two pounds of chicken and I feel like I'm on a roll let me return to the issue at the top of this comment. Let's suppose that having an abusive or absent father really makes a woman more disposed toward tolerating abuse in adulthood. I actually think that this is true, cf. our favorite example of a daddy-complex slut-tard, remember her, Nuri? Well, then I guess girls need fathers (by this I mean, men, not homosexuals or wimps who happen to have a penis)! And whose fault is it that so many boys and girls today do not have fathers? It's the pussies out there, past and present; the pussies who gave women the vote, the pussies who watched them take over and denigrate fatherhood, excuse obesity and celebrate mediocrity; the pussies who simpered and whined about inequality and victimhood and built the welfare state. The pussies destroyed fatherhood and the family. Afraid of living life on their own terms, they sold us out and twits like Ellsberg and Dr. Drew et cetera are still doing it now. Every single time Mike has to choose between wimps and men, he goes to bat for the pussies. I consider this unfortunate. |
