  Well the next kid will think twice about bumping the bot.

  Yup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could we improve men’s mental health?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s one big cause that applies to millions, then no, individual therapy cannot fix that massive problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could we improve men’s mental health?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Therapy is never a cure. If you have a problem then therapy can help you confront it and deal with it, but if we have a massive society-wide mental health crisis it will not be solved by each man individually seeking therapy.

  We need meaning in our lives, something worth dedicating ourselves to, and the means to pursue it. Mercenary capitalism won’t provide that.

  In short, I don’t see an answer. I think it will get worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why were we able to stamp out Nazism but not the Taliban?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nazis only lost their empire. They’re basically terrorists themselves now, though not as well funded apparently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why were we able to stamp out Nazism but not the Taliban?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Terrorism doesn’t have an empire in the same way. They don’t usually occupy an entire nation with an economy and complex professional society. The empire was crushed.

  Terrorism is all underground. Do we know how it’s funded? What are the economics of terrorism? Infrastructure? They’re more slippery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, how many lemmynsfw.com communities have you blocked?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I blocked the whole instance. I’ll admit that I do want to see nude females (who are obviously adults) but I was seeing lots of other stuff that I don’t find sexy, and blocking specific communities was like playing whack-a-mole.
