They should call themselves β€œalfalfa males” because everything about them is pretty much eventually horseshit.
@georgetakei High quality content right here.
@georgetakei If they need to explain what an "alpha" male does or needs to do, then it safe to assume they are not. Those who can't teach?
@tg8arc @georgetakei
They use the term β€œalpha” to correspond to β€œalpha male” wolves.
Alpha male wolves exist only in captivity.
In the wild, alpha wolves share their leadership(not dominate) roles with a female. They are equals and, if he dies first, she is leader.
@georgetakei That's a good justification, but the phrase "alfalfa males" made me laugh before I even got to the explanation so it's clearly great regardless! :D
@georgetakei This is the best thing I’ve read all week!
@georgetakei
I'm not sure I've had to deal with alfalfa males, but in my youth I had numerous encounters with alfalfa bales.
@georgetakei Glad to see you here, Uncle George. Hope more of your followers follow.
@georgetakei This was a really good one, George.
@georgetakei Most of the time, people who call themselves alpha males do it as a justification for them being assholes. And that's most of their philosophy: how can I become a true asshole in my relationships, my job, my community ? They are simply assholics.
@ElDiabloRoboc @georgetakei
My husband once told me: β€œI know I am an asshole, it’s in my dna”.
If that is not an advertisement for genetic engineering, I don’t know what is.
@georgetakei This right here is what the internet is for.
@georgetakei ”Alpha software is not thoroughly tested by the developer before it is released to customers. Alpha software may contain serious errors, and any resulting instability could cause crashes or data loss.[3] Alpha software may not contain all of the features that are planned for the final version.” (Wikipedia) In my experience, people identifying as such is just that.
@georgetakei remember the little rascal who inspired the pointy tinfoil hat look?
@georgetakei Alpha - feature complete, but likely to contain both known and unknown bugs, and should be considered unstable...
@georgetakei In my weird world, I would call them old black holes, everything goes in and nothing comes out but the occasional spluttering Big Bang and a gamma ray burst.
@georgetakei the whole thing is built on a lie anyway.

@georgetakei I was going to write that this just reminds me of "Alfalfa," one of the Little Rascals from the old TV series Our Gang, and so doesn't really work for me.

That made me curious, though, so I looked up the actor who played the part. Carl Switzer died of a gunshot wound in 1959 (when I was two years old). So I guess it fits? But not in the humorous way intended?

@georgetakei george, such rude language! :)
@georgetakei A lion doesn't have to tell you he's a lion.
@georgetakei πŸ™€πŸ˜³πŸ˜πŸ€£πŸ˜Ή
@georgetakei I always laugh at them self-identifying as Alphas. In software development our alpha release is the least stable, least complete, and most defect prone version often lacking major features. Totally checks out!
@georgetakei hi George - glad to see you here my friend
@georgetakei alfalfa is a fine crop and I don’t want its reputation smeared by association.
@georgetakei 'Alfalfa Male' has been around for a long time. ✌

@georgetakei actually, there's no such thing as an alpha male, it's a myth.

The Term Alpha Male Is All A Lie

Hens, wolves and a 50-year misunderstanding – it’s a wild ride.

@georgetakei I love true in software an alpha release is missing features and unstable

@georgetakei

Oooh! I like that. Alphafa males. Alfalfa males. hahahahahah

@georgetakei alfalfa is one of the biggest fertilizers used by market gardeners to grow greens and veggies. That is why I choose to talk about compost, I make good quality products out of the waste of society.

Those people belong to the landfill only good at talking shit are they

@georgetakei

Real men are compassionate, supportive, and respectful. That’s true strength.

MAGA men are pathetic.

Urban Dictionary: Alfalfa Male

A kind of fellow some ladies in search of an Alpha male may end up with. The key distinction here is that instead of being the man's man they were looking for (charming, confident and entertaining), deep inside he's fundamentally still a kid whom: 1) is capable to ending up in trouble for doing shit as dumb as hell. 2) hangs out with equally maladjusted, immature friends. 3) may often show more interest in shit like Wrestlemania on TV, playing videogames and fidgeting idiotic apps than in an actual night out with his woman. From the character of the old TV Series "The Little Rascals", a.k.a "Our Gang".

@georgetakei I don't get it, but I also don't know anything about horses or horse shit.
@georgetakei
Yes! They're members of the "He-Man Women-Haters Club!"
@georgetakei that was hilarious Mr. Takei πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
@georgetakei I had a good laugh at this xD
@georgetakei I got banned from Twitter for taking the P out of that alfa male bloke πŸ˜‚
@georgetakei πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚
@georgetakei oh, I say! Back of the net! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
@georgetakei
They are what happens when the ignorant adopt a term designed by social scientists to describe "leadership ability" and use it to justify brutality.
@georgetakei
And Alfalfa started a β€˜Woman Haters Club’ on The Little Rascals, so that also tracks.
