This is extremely reductionist as it's actually a fairly complex school of thought, but it's essentially just: everyone is equal and thus should have equal rights and treatment under the law. A basic example:

I have a cake and take it to a party with 7 others. We agree everyone should have equal right and access to the cake and so cut it into 8 equal slices.

Where as Capitalism is like: I decide because I came up with the idea of getting cake, I deserve more of it, so I take 50%. The host of the party gets a 20% cut. And the remaining 6 guests divvy the remaining 30% amongst themselves.

Isn't that essentially what Patreon is for though? How is it different (other than I assume no 'bonus content' for your sub)?

Okay, but we had that same issue in 2010 before Chrome started to become mainstream. And before that, IE had to compete with Netscape.

Mean Girls - this is my absolute comfort movie. Elf is mandatory watch every Christmas and I never get bored of it.

Movies I'll always sit down and watch if I see them on TV that I've not seen mentioned yet:

  • Breakfast Club
  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  • Time Bandits
  • 12 Monkeys
  • Muppet Treasure Island

We don't even have front pockets, just seams to give the illusion of a pocket!

Absurdly long video essays on video game lore.

Do I want to watch a 90min movie? God no, that's literal torture.

Do I want to watch a 3.5hr video essay evaluating the story of every mainline Pokémon game? Yes please.

It was actually called RIF is Fun for Reddit.

It looks more orange on Reddit I think, where as it looks more red here, think maybe that's the confusion.

I'm not even sure this was coming from a place of misandry, seems like the sorta shit Podcast Bros peddle about 'Alphas' and 'Betas'.

This is toxic masculinity, and the idea that men have to be successful, strong, brave, etc. hurts everyone.

Being 'soft' or 'weak' should be perfectly normal and accepted human traits. How about we allow men the space and patience to access and acknowledge their emotions, instead of placing some patriarchal ideal of how they have to be big, strong, rich, successful, dominant etc. on them?

Easy: leave all emails that might be important as unread. That way, you know they're important because they're unread. Continue to never read them until you've got over 400 unread emails in your inbox. Then just mass delete any more than a month old, because they can't still be important or relevant. Continue to feel guilty and not read emails.

Absolutely flawless system for me so far.

If it is a Katamari reference, it's kinda on theme with some of the extreme horror that comes out of FromSoft games (a barely perceptible alien causes minor inconvenience by rolling up your paperclips, suddenly causes total global extinction and sacrifices everyone and everything on the planet to the cosmos).
