I going about the shelter thing, a few years ago they did a study and there was not a single shelter for men in the country.

And I get it, it’s important to take care of women, sure, but when somebody tried to start a support shelter for men there was a massive public outcry about it.

And even if you had the time and inclination to for instance start a men’s only gym, why would you risk all of that time and effort on the odd chance that you would offend a person who has a following and knows how to raise a Battle cry and next thing you know you’ve got a hundred angry protesters outside of your gym even though there are five female only gyms within walking distance because you have a men’s only gym.

It’s much easier to create a space that’s just slightly uninviting for the average woman and then let the chips fall where they may.

It’s easier to pass the buck and say somebody else will take care of the guys. We don’t need to build men’s only shelters. Guys are more resilient than women. Guys aren’t as at risk as women are. Guys are shitty people in general and life gives them so many breaks, they don’t need any additional support while there are still women who have needs.

Let’s not start a men’s only club because all it takes is one woman getting upset and suing us for discrimination and next thing we know we are out $250,000 in lawyer fees all because we wanted to have a boys space.

Let’s just let all of the men suffer in silence forever and ever. They’ll be okay they’ll just rub some dirt in it and move on.

I’m a little salty. But I can cope. But I still feel emboldened to express that I dislike the inequality and I wish things were a little better.

If meatloaf was made out of chicken it would still technically be meatloaf.

Anyone can say things that are technically true while missing the point completely.

It’s got to stick eventually, right?

I would say the most polarizing thing I’ve ever said at least in an online community is that there should be spaces specifically for men to congregate where they can talk about their issues among like-minded men.

This was in response to me discovering that of the eight gyms within a 10 mile radius of my home, three of them are all gender gyms and five of them are women’s only gyms.

Of the associations in my area, places where people of like-minded orientation congregate, 4 of them are all gender, 12 of them are female only.

There are no male only semi-private spaces that I can find within a 25 mile radius of my home and I live in a city of over 500,000 people.

Of the multitude of homeless housing, homelessness support, soup kitchen, and other resources for the incredibly poor and disaffected, roughly half of them are explicitly female only, and all of the remainder are all gender with a preference for supporting women.

To me this is especially terrifying because of the homeless population that I have encountered only a vanishingly small fraction of them are women. The great majority by and far of the maybe 40 or 60 homeless people I have seen in the last year have been male.

If it is okay for women to have women only spaces why is it not okay for men to have men only spaces?

If it is okay for women to receive women only support, why is it not okay for men to receive men only support?

Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

I get that you are saying that after a person becomes a financial burden on the population that we should get rid of them and save the resources, but that’s very short thinking and it’s a very selfish stance and I get why you’re sharing it now because the question was what’s the most polarizing thing you’ve said and my response is very polarized because I feel like you and anybody who agrees with you should be excommunicated from society and put onto a small island somewhere where we never have to deal with them ever again.

This knowledge made me immediately visualize Keanu Reeves face sticking out between a pair of woman’s legs.

I guess blackpilled comes from the charcoal tablets they give people with alcohol poisoning then?

Maybe they’re the filthy sinner and got left behind

Took me way too long to realize that he’s not laying on the freaking MAT.

And is it just me or does it look like his lower torso has been photoshopped onto his upper torso?

Yep. They get credit for your donation & they get a tax write-off for the coupons, and they get to sell more stuff so you’ll get the “value” out of the coupons. It’s a win win win for them and only a win for you if you were going to otherwise buy the exact same things the coupons covered.

Non-euclidean love triangle: Both people who are currently together wish they were with the same third person who lives too far away for a relationship to work.

You seem to think I have some sort of emotional investment in this and I can assure you that I do not. I’m saying that today’s reality is not tomorrow’s reality and that things can get better, which is a fact and not really up for debate.

As to whether or not they will get better that very much is up to debate, but if you think that being condescending is proving your point then maybe you should take some time and think a little longer.

I’ve been getting a booster shot every year and last year had me sick for 3 Days running a fever.

I got so delirious that apropos of nothing I had a hallucination of Dante’s inferno and was carried all the way to the base of the mountain that leads to salvation and was told that I have to overcome my seven deadly sins in order to be allowed to take the first step onto the mountain.

Why are they naming covid variants like they’re video game consoles or 1980s IBM knockoff PCS?

Yo dude, I got the new xec covid! Which one do you have?

Oh man, I only have the Corona Omicron…

I think another thing that adds to it is a little bit of soy sauce, but if soy sauce is too strong or too salty for you I can also highly recommend liquid aminos. That stuff is amazing

My point is proved.

Like I said, some people love nothing more than to reframe whatever you are saying or whatever you are doing in the worst possible light for no reason other than to make you feel bad.

If only one religion is right, then the God of that religion is either evil or an asshole or not all knowing and all powerful.

If you think about it, and all knowing all powerful God that allows a gigantic portion of his beloved children to live in complete and total ignorance for their entire lives without even the chance of ever knowing the truth would be a terrible asshole at best, and that’s only assuming that he doesn’t throw everyone that doesn’t get the truth he didn’t give them into hell forever.

Of course that only covers the abrahamic religions. I feel like Zoroastrianism would probably still be okay because as little of it as I understand it seems to be more like the world is a stage where a chess game is being played and each piece moves as it will and the battling deities over watching the game can only make so many moves each to keep it fair.

Buddhism can’t really complain about it other than that it sucks that we’re all currently stuck in hell and having to live tens of thousands of lives until we’re allowed to get out, seems like more people should make it out as time goes by.

Either way though, if there is one true religion it would be amazing if the god of that religion would occasionally pop onto the planet and remind everybody that they exist, maybe give us the bread and circuses show to catch us back up, maybe throw out a couple of worldwide hey I forgive everybody’s and then pop back off just to remind us.

A thousand years without a reappearance of the God of all gods is a long time to keep the torch burning.

From what I understand they are still affordable, the cost savings is building it yourself and having the discipline and patience to be able to do something like that on your wages.

Building a tiny home is a grueling and arduous task. There is nothing TurnKey about it.

My cousin built one because his mom lent him some land to build it on and so far it has cost him about $10,000.

That’s pretty good but he lives on a truck driver’s salary and he has a wife and a kid. He’s deeply in debt from his tiny house project and he’s almost done with it.

Once he finishes he’ll be able to claw his way back up out of debt, which is good, but there are no TurnKey solutions that are also affordable.

I get where you’re coming from but in my ideal world we would all work gig jobs and they would provide us enough money to live at the very least at our current lifestyle.

The 40-hour work week is a lie. It’s not needed anymore, and anyone who sits down for 4 hours and analyzes our current economic system would probably agree with me.

You have gotten up onto a high horse about how I am flawed and wrong before checking whether I was on your side.

Besides, the point you are making, while it has its merits, only touches on my point. My point is enjoy what you like. If you like overnight oats just go ahead and eat them.

It doesn’t mean you’re a “peasant eating gruel”. It’s okay to like what you like.
