Yes they are. And your refusal to admit men can feel fear about women is amazingly sexist. Sounds like you think it’s impossible for women to present a threat to a man.

I do all those things though. What else can I do?

You think empathy is bad?
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 9 hours ago:
Hold on a second. Did you honestly think you were coming across as unemotional when you said that?
Keep your emotions out of it, I learned to manage that, takes a lot of work but it’s a good skill to have.
Tell me what facts you think you know that makes you claim 100% of men who would use that feature would be doing it for bigotry reasons.
You don’t even need to do citations, I’ll go do the research for us.
The only thing I humbly beg you to tell me is what fact you know that I don’t, I’m not seeing the missing puzzle piece.
If you know something I’m missing I genuinely want to know, cuz I’m not afraid of changing my mind when proven wrong. I just genuinely think you’re just making some unfair assumptions that’s all. There’s no shame in it, most people do it. But it might surprise you to learn that a lot of people would rather die than be wrong about something.
Don’t get mad at me. TALK to me.

Citation needed. Back up those claims cuz that’s sounding like pure emotional projection.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 20 hours ago:
No, men are upset that there’s nothing they can do to assuage that fear. Imagine if half the world thinks you’re a grenade with a faulty spoon, and there’s nothing you can do to show that you have had your gunpowder removed and cannot explode.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 20 hours ago:
Supply and demand. If that’s what they want, fine. But that might limit ride availability.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on Fascism bad. 20 hours ago:
It’s because they think we take in information the same way they do.
The process in which they construct understanding:
- Feel something
- Come up with an explanation that satisfies id.
- End process
How real understanding is best constructed:
- Feel something
- Come up with and explanation that satisfies id.
- Ego passes the explanation over to Super Ego.
- Super Ego looks for any aspect of the explanation unsupported by objective fact.
- If a gap of knowledge is discovered, ask why recursively until you cannot ask why any more.
- Super Ego passes explanation back to id.
- Id tells you if the explanation feels like it’s bulletproof.
- Go to sleep because that was a lot of hard cognitive work and you deserve it, and the other person didn’t do any of this work.
- Understand that the other person that opposes you likely didn’t work as hard as you to disprove yourself.
- Listen to them call you lazy for not doing the work.

OMG they are so detached from reality that they are bragging about being terrified?
- Comment on Popular self-hosting services worth running 3 days ago:
Yeah, this is true. I just like to tinker. I already pay for one AI tool for like actual use as a tool in my life. The self hosted image thing attempt was like, hey my next home lab project, let’s see how easy it is to just get an image generated from scratch with nothing currently setup! The answer I found was, "you still need more training grasshopper. Much to learn. "
- Comment on Popular self-hosting services worth running 4 days ago:
I tried to setup some kinda self hosted AI image generation last month. I didn’t know wtf I was doing and accomplished nothing. Need to give it another try.
- Comment on i unapologetically love male pits 1 week ago:
Yeah all those meds can have sex drive impacts, so that’s definitely going to muddy the waters, but you need your meds so it kinda makes your medicated state your status quo. I’ve got ADHD which has it’s own sexual complications and antidepressants as well and I feel like sex isn’t particularly important to me, like I’ll have it if it’s going down, but not bothered if it’s not. But for me it’s like I almost wish I cared more? Like I miss the days of being a dumb horny teenager but just a fleeting thought, along with the rest of my fleeting thoughts… SQUIRREL!

Man this title reminded me of an old animation involving iPhone and some Android phone, lemme go find…
The part about transforming into a jet and flying you to an island reminded me of the title.
- Comment on Rent is theft 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I mean I rent out my upstairs which is a legal accessory apartment in an owner occupied dwelling. I’ve had people arguing with me that I’m evil and should throw out my tenants or something or I have no idea what they think is reasonable. Because they are not reasonable, they are just mad and want to blame just like humans are apt to do.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 5 weeks ago:
I am the Plex guy in my group of friends and family. I think there’s probably a bit of confirmation bias at play. Being on Lemmy alone puts you into a niche area of Internet already, which is going to make hearing about geeky things like home labs more common.
So yes, they exist.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 5 weeks ago:
Alcohol costs money. Middle class is dead. Probably will see a lot more people making homemade things.
- Comment on Yeah. I'm on the spectrum alright 1 month ago:
I think that’s more its bottom. I think it shakes its bottom as a mating dance or something.

Or pull the trash cans to the curb!
- Comment on How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times? 1 month ago:
Yep, specifically home defense, not carrying in the public. My duty to retreat ends at my house. But I don’t leave the house that much, usually work from home, if I was out there more often I may want to look into open or concealed carry laws in my locality, but all those things cost money. I’m already annoyed that I felt worried enough to buy a gun in the first place. Annoyed that I feel it’s prudent to dig up my passport card and carry it in my wallet despite me not traveling abroad.

I bought a gun.

If they come to my door I’m going to see how immune they are to a Beretta 1301. Because I’m not getting disappeared to a third world country for being brown.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 2 months ago:
But if it were an NVMe slot… That’d be juicy.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 2 months ago:
You can die any number of ways at any time for any reason. Why fixate on one? Probably more likely to die in an automobile accident or some mundane bullshit than nuclear war.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 months ago:
That’s like saying it’s just as easy to wash your hands regardless of how filthy they are. The more grime, the more scrubbing, due to layering.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 months ago:
Regardless of immune system integrity, the area around the toilet is objectively easier to clean with lid down flushing; cuts down on micro droplets.

Do you consider your life difficult because cleaning your bathroom is part of life?
