Hi, Peter here to explain the meme. In countries with strong weather patterns, the summer months can sometimes reach 100 degrees. By claiming it’s incredibly cold when it is actually still a reasomable summer temperature of 69 degrees (ehehehehe), the poster is eliciting a humor response by pointing out how they perceive the weather as being cold enough for soup (commonly associated with the autumn season) even though it is still a perfectly serviceable summer temperature. Until next time!

Something being subjective and something untrue aren’t the same thing

Because he’s the CEO of Coinbase, what else would you expect someone with that job title to do?

I don’t think they were stupid, but they formed a very strong opinion about something they clearly didn’t know anything about.
That’s a subcategory of being stupid to be fair

I’m starting to realize how easily fooled people are by this stuff. The average person cannot be this stupid, and yet, they are.

Unfortunately it’s a bit of a misinterpretation. Yes the overall USB C spec is complicated, and cables can support different things without being labelled clearly, but you can use it just to deliver power much more simply.

True, I guess immutable wasn’t the right term. It’s mutable, but it’s not really a choice.
I do disagree that banning men is necessarily helpful for the discussion of women’s issues though. Yes, some women’s issues are so far removed from our experience that most male advice wouldn’t be helpful. But I believe there is always value to be found, even-- actually, especially-- from the outgroup. This is the exact rationale for DEI, or at least the one that I find reasonable, which is that having perspectives from people with a wider variety of experiences represented in a space can improve the discussions within it. When done correctly, this improves the experience of the people who the group is “for”. Mixing perspectives with outgroup members like this also improves the mutual understanding between the group’s members and nonmembers, which in this case especially is important. And it allows people to more easily become allies.
What we don’t want is people with a hostile view of the group to be free to participate as much as they want. Maybe banning all men from the community is necessary, or maybe just efficient, to fulfill this purpose. In this case the ban might be worth it, but the loss of external perspectives is a downside and that should be considered here and always.
Like another user replied, there’s a difference between “this isn’t for you” and “you aren’t allowed here”. There aren’t a lot of other public high-quality places to discuss women’s issues, so as a man your options are to:
- Not discuss them, at most trying to understand by watching
- Start your own community for men to discuss women’s issues, which without womens’ perspectives is not likely to go well
- Start a community for all genders to discuss it – maybe I should do this one tbh, although maybe it might be smarter to expand the topic a little

You know when conservatives ask why supposedly tolerant groups are actually very intolerant? This is that, but like actually legitimate. It baffles me that these groups can operate like this and not realize the harm they’re doing.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Your example doesn’t really match up because you only mentioned one group and the group shares no logical overlap with the called-out demographic.
I interpreted the original statement as shorthand for white people discriminating against black people and men discriminating against women. Your reading is more grammatically accurate, but less charitable. Given your final paragraph I would encourage you to be more charitable with your interpretations.

It means that white men have discriminated against them, yes, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility that white women have discriminated against black groups or that black men have discriminated against women groups.

I would like to inform you than ending a comment like this to dismiss further discussion as often as you do is not the most healthy or useful practice.
