Of course, it isn't just the image, it's how the character developed in the story that made it so sexy.
Mr Darcy went from a very uptight Englishmen, to an only somewhat uptight Englishmen. That is, remarkably, the sexiest thing conceivable by the English mind.

It's hard to understand, but there is an entire generation of English women who think this is the sexiest image to ever be produced.

1. Own property
2. Extract surplus value from the working class who must sell their labor to survive
3. Buy politicians
4. Control the media
5. Control the education system
6. Rely on the State to enforce the social hierarchy with violence

Europeans are pretty smug for a bunch of civilizations that were around for thousands of years and yet were never able to invent chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

Under anarchism everyone can do as they please, with one exception: sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll will be MANDATORY.

Magnus Carlsen has now lost back to back games against to Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa (age 17) Nodirbek Abdusattorov (age 18).
If these two are the future of chess we may enter a golden age of chess "champions whose names white people can't pronounce". Very exciting stuff.

What I appreciate about Red Bull is that it is just like...disgusting? It feels like they didn't even try to make it taste good because they knew they could just make cool ads and people would drink it anyway.

Since we always make the GPS voice an English woman in the United States, I think it's only fair that in England it should be a Texas cowboy giving them directions.

When I was like 5 my parents asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said "a pony".
My brother made fun of me for years for that but he wanted to be lawyer?? pony is way better than lawyer.

It's weird how short sighted conservatives are in their legislation. They focus on tax cuts while their base is dying off.
To survive long term they need to reintroduce lead into the water supply to create another generation of conspiracy brained hatemongers.

This is how sex scenes are written in Chinese novels, in case you wanted to know what it's like to live under COMMUNISM (hilarious and awesome)

According to Ancient Stoic philosophers, you don't actually HAVE to fly into a rage over every little thing you read online. Deeply counterintuitive but they claim it is possible.

How to be an ALPHA male:
- have no emotions (anger isn't an emotion)
- reading books is for betas
- be obsessive with the superficial social signaling of masculinity, even in trivial matters like what color your toothbrush is, or what you eat. This is important for some reason??

So glad Marx wasn't English, because then instead of being Marxists, leftists would have to go around saying something like "I'm a Hickinbottomist" and no one would take us seriously smh.

Why are ethics questions always like:
"is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?"
And not:
"is it ethical to hoard bread when families are starving?"

In a way Socrates is the one who really started Western Civilization, so technically this is all his fault...

"Trad" accounts on here are funny because they seem to mostly get their "traditional values" from either 1950s cigarette commercials, or Marcus Aurelius themed multi-level marketing scams.

You'll know AI is becoming fully conscious when they purposely start posing everyone so their hands happen to be behind things in the scene.

The best thing to come out of AI art is that the computers reaffirmed that hands are, in fact, impossible to draw.

"Let's make a public transportation system that is only for rich people who bought my stuff but is also totally stupid and doesn't solve anything".

A lot of people make fun of Elon Musk's tunnels, but I'm impressed by it. You could give me 1,000 years and I'd never come up with a solution to traffic as dumb as "a single lane tunnel for only one kind of car that you still have to drive in".
Truly beyond the scope of my mind.

Just spitballing here but I think we should form some kind of secret cabal that infiltrates schools and the media to indoctrinate the youth into communist ideology and usher in a New World Order.

Like why did they have to keep making more propaganda after "hey you know that guy who bosses you around that everyone hates but you have to listen to him anyway because he has a piece of paper that says he owns everything? yeah we are getting rid of that system"

Under communism, you wouldn't have a boss who you have to obey or starve.
You'd sort of think this alone would be enough to convince absolutely everyone to become a communist in like 12 seconds, but apparently not??

If the so called "free market" responds to the needs and wants of the people, how come they haven't brought back "American Gladiators" again? Huh??

After consulting with philosophy I've determined it's fine to make fun of a dude for having a small dick if he is a misogynist sex trafficker whose entire ego depends on his successful performance of masculinity.
Again talked to every philosopher and they all said it was fine.

Incredible that some people attach a kind masculine virtue to destroying the environment. Like they think it's super macho and sexy to pollute and litter.
Right wingers are just such losers it's hard to comprehend sometimes.

People are always posting videos like "life hack! learn how to peel a banana like a MONKEY!"
My dude, I don't have a problem peeling bananas. I'd be more interested in why they don't have to pay rent.

By the way, if you are feeling insecure about your masculinity, you can just go join a boxing gym or whatever without some YouTube Man packaging it in with how much he hates women. That part isn't helpful.

The amazing thing about these misogynist self help gurus like Andrew Tate, or even Jordan Peterson, is how obvious it is that they are deeply unhappy people.
It is a dead end ideology, even if you get everything you want you'll remain bitter, insecure, and hateful.

Look, I'm a big critic of Elon musk, but you have to admit he has done some good acquiring this site. For example, I get a little bit of joy each morning logging in and seeing how much further the Tesla stock has cratered.
