Male stereotypes have to be culturally broken first. Men are being taught that showing any emotions other than anger and hate is effeminate. They're being taught that empathy is weakness, that education is stupidity, that freedom is slavery.

Everything that makes men human is being stripped away, leaving a husk of burning hate awaiting marching orders. They need to reconnect to humanity.

If we're going by the The Good Place point system, not only are we all going to the Bad Place, we're all getting VIP seats in The Worst Place.

Wow, that looks like something I'd drag to LAN parties in the late 90s.

Chat bots aren't currently programmed to answer questions about color combinations. AI programs like ChatGPT can, but your typical chat bot on internet forums, business chat channels, and dating sites can't.

Next time you think you're dealing with a bot, ask it a color combination question like "What do you get when you combine red and blue?"

I work long hours as a welder, most of my work clothes are baggy mens clothes from a thrift store. My hair is typically up in a bun and tucked under a cap. I get misgendered a lot when in my work clothes which is fair, I totally get it.

But when I'm waiting on cooldown, on a break, or at lunch, I like to read a book, draw in a sketch pad, or write in a notebook. The guys are always on their phones watching Tiktok or playing some game.

It may be a little thing, but I enjoy reading, writing, and drawing which I consider to be a "typically female thing."

This issue is a hot potato for politicians, none of them want to fix it. To fix it is to aconowledge the real unemployment numbers which will reflect badly on a political party.

If Political Party XYZ were in charge and changed the unemployment count to the true count, Political Party ABC will claim unemployment "skyrocketed" because of Party XYZ without the context of the count being more accurate.

And if Party ABC takes back power in this hypotherical, they would change the definition back to the inaccurate count, then claim they drastically lowered unemployment.

Sometimes we dont have an outlet for pent-up anger, fustration, and aggression. We play violent video games, paintball, airsoft war games, and LARP battles, but even that doesn't always help.

This is why we see so many MAGA folks drawn to kick boxing, wrestling, boxing, and other violent sports. It's an outlet for them to release pent-up fustration, anger, and aggression. But even then, sometimes that also doesnt help.

It's partially why MAGA folks are so eager to turn their guns against their fellow human beings.

I know your question wasn't specifically political, but it's what immediately came to mind on this topic.

Generally, if software was affordable and their business model is ethical, I wouldn't pirate it.

If a company is charging a subscription for something that has no business being a subscription, I'll pirate it. If a business is stealing data or willingly collaborating with evil people/governments/regimes/etc, I'll pirate it.

Democrats: "Let's ignore left wing and independant voters. We'll chase after right wing voters instead."

Right wing voters vote entirely for Republicans. Left wing and independant voters feel abandoned and dont vote.

Democrats: "I don't understand how we could have lost. Let's continue to ignore left wing and independant voters. We'll have to double down on our efforts to get right wing voters.

Right wing voters continued to vote entirely for Republicans. Left wing and independant voters feel abandoned and dont vote.

Democrats: "What the hell happened? We lost yet again? I thought doubling down on the same strategy would have worked. Welp, we have no choice now but to triple down on the same strategy we keep losing with."

I care a little bit. I work as a welder and am on the verge of completing a four year apprenticeship. My pay is going to shoot up, so I need to plan to save money for tax day.

Right now I have my employer taking an extra $15 out of each paycheck to give to the IRS. It used to be enough to receive a refund. But these past four years as my pay increased, that refund gets smaller and smaller.

I'm going to have to get my employer to take a bit more out of each paycheck. Tgat way I wont owe anything at the end of the year.

I had a roommate some years ago who didn't understand how credit cards work. He would max out a card on parties and drinks and good times with friends, then get another card and repeat. I warned him that it's not free money, he would have to pay it all back with interest.

At first he didn't believe me. "Of course it's free money. My parents did it all the time and they didn't have to pay anything back."

Then the bills started rolling in. A few at first, but then they became huge stacks of bills. Then warning letters, then demand letters, eventually legal action letters. My roommate finally conceded that it's not free money, but it'll be ok as he'll just file for bankruptcy.

I moved out before I saw the inevitable conclusion of this sad story.

I also had a coworker who loved to talk about sovereign citizen nonsense. He would love to talk about the benefits and how all he has to do to claim these benefits is renounce his citizenship and call himself a Moor. As far as I'm aware, he hasn't tried to pull any sovcit stunts with law enforcement yet. I guess it's only a matter of time before he puts these beliefs to the test.

My pet goldfish was also sent to a farm when I was a kid. Sending people to farms sounds like a euphemism for extermination.
