This, plus your username backwards, makes me think this is the voice of experience.

I don’t even want to post this because it’s bad for my mental health to engage on this. But as a dude, it’s my unfortunate responsibility to clean my own damn house apparently…
You said this conversation makes them hate men more. So you think they already hated men, for all the horrible things some men do to them like rape. And then you think this conversation somehow makes it worse?
It’s like complaining that the guy who rear ended your car also spilled your coffee. Like, I get that spoiled coffee isn’t great, but given the scope of the actual problem it’s stupid to think it makes it worse.
I’m not sure you understand the privilege that it takes to think that this conversation about bears makes women hate men MORE. It just shows that you don’t understand how much they deserve to hate those guys already. The problem is SO MUCH WORSE than some stupid meme. The meme just gives voice to the actual problem. It lets women relate to each other and bond over their shared painful experiences.
If this meme seems like a big deal to you, that just shows that you were able to ignore the actual big deal that is molestation and abuse. That’s your privilege I mentioned.

More than the rape did? That’s fuckin impressive.
- Comment on If somebody spends the whole day watching fox or religious propaganda, gets worked up and all he can think of is owning a liberal or converting an unbeliever, is this person a victim or just gullible? 3 days ago:
People should grow up and take responsibility for their lives.
We SHOULD all get free unicorns too.
But if you actually want to fix the problem, as opposed to just should’ing it, that requires that we see these people as victims. And this means we don’t blame the victim, we help them with their situation.
The wonderful part about the train of thought that you’ve started, is that eventually you realize that people not only need to take responsibility for their own lives, but also need to take responsibility for the society they impose on other people’s lives. And if we’re unhappy with that society, we have to actively do something about it. That is our responsibility. Just as much as it’s our responsibility to fix ourselves.

That exactly tracks. You can’t feed answers from an AI into an AI. It gets all incesty (technical term). So they have to ban user submitted AI answers.

- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 days ago:
Then what would we call someone who makes the dietary choice but none of the other lifestyle choices? How would they identify in a restaurant setting? The answer is “vegan”. In the same way that I’m vegetarian but don’t care if I wear leather shoes.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m saying that English lacks the words that would let you be precise. We need a word for people who are vegan in diet, and don’t care to bother the rest of the world about it. That’s why OPs question keeps coming up.
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 6 days ago:
We need an impartial lawnmower. Something external to the species that comes in and cuts the biggest ones in half. And it needs to be incorruptible and powerful enough to do this.
Damn, I think I just invented god again.
- Comment on [Serious] Do you know of any processed snack foods with some vitamins? 6 days ago:
I don’t know your experience, but parents have the moral obligation to keep their kids safe and healthy. That sometimes requires that you get your kids to do things they don’t want to do. You can either do this with manipulation or with force. There’s no third option because kids don’t have the proper coping mechanisms to suppress their emotions and do what they’re required to do, even when they don’t want to.
That isn’t to say your parents did the right thing or that they were trying to keep you safe. I don’t know you. Maybe they were abusive. My point is only that manipulation is often the better of two bad options.

I think it’s valid that he chose the #1 food source problem to talk about first. Once we fix that, let’s discuss #2.

Dried mango was big for us. We also supplement with Flintstones. There are also vitamin drops you can sneak into their food.
Also, eat something and casually tell him he can’t have any. My kid (AuDHD with PDA) wants anything they can’t have, especially when it’s mine.

That’s the version I’ll adopt. I haven’t moved to immich because of the breaking changes.

Because the study is clearly talking about goats. You only use the word “women” when you’re talking about humans.
- Comment on Oddly specific question 1 week ago:
I’m not a Democrat. Fuck capitalism .
The reality is that the Democrats want to win, and chasing the left isn’t how you win. There just aren’t enough people on the left in the US to make it worth it. And many leftists who exist have the same attitude as you mention. I.e. the Dems aren’t doing enough so fuck them.
If all you wanted to do was win, what would your strategy be? How many leftists do you think are in the US to even be rallied? I think if there were that many, we’d see third parties winning at the state or local level.

Once you get good at cracking the banks, you basically have unlimited money. Then upgrade your gear like crazy.
For me, I never got the hang of the mainframes with multiple steps and routers and such. Still a fun game though.
- Comment on Oddly specific question 1 week ago:
They’re not stupid. The know it’s not worth chasing the left. The left is relatively small and HUGE into purity culture. Not the religious kind, but the kind where they’ll reject you for not being perfect enough. Just look at all the people whining that Biden is only reclassifying weed and not legalizing. The left as it is today will never be content with half measures, and will happily protest and not vote, so they arent worth the effort of chasing.
So Dems have to chase the other end.
If we want change, it’ll have to be leftists joining the Democratic party and changing from within. Because strategically, the left doesn’t help Dems win.

I have trouble with YouTube. It never recommends good short form content. If I could crack that, I probably wouldn’t Tiktok.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 2 weeks ago:
You either never used Tiktok, or you spent too much time staring at the shit videos and that ended up as your feed.
Personally, I get gardening tips, legal analysis of the trump trials, and stand up comedy. It’s great.
- Comment on It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. 2 weeks ago:
Home is the adjective. It’s a state of being.
Many times I’ll walk in the door but need to log into work, and I’ll say to my wife “I’m not home yet”. As in, my external responsibilities are not completed and I am not available. When I’m available to my family or to relax, I have then become “home”.
