It’s a joke, man. Just say you don’t get it and move on. It’s not that serious.

Yawn. Anyone who has taken LSD could have told you reality is composed of fractals all the way down, many decades ago.

Punching down? The fuck? Nah, you’re the sexist one here. I view women as my equals. I can’t believe I really have to spell this out but the joke is about capitalism.

Honestly thought it would be obvious to everyone that this was a joke given how preposterous it was. Yes I do see why women would want this.

The joke is really just meant to be funny. But if we wanna dissect it we can. Though I feel like it should be sufficient to say the joke is about capitalism.

Thought it was obvious that this was a joke… I was chuckling as I typed this…

We should cut the nation in half down the middle, male side and female side. We’ll have gender embassies to coordinate economic matters. Every 10 years we’ll all send our most fit and fertile to meet in the gender demilitarized zone for breeding. Better yet, maybe we can establish a reproductive material trade so we never have to see each other.

Don’t forget that everyone eventually meets a day they can’t survive

I have yet to be emotionally moved by a single piece of AI generated content, and not for lack of exposure. I am moved by human art on a daily basis.

I really don’t feel that it’s devaluing art. Slop has always been slop whether AI or human generated. Real art takes an artist’s soul put into it and I don’t see AI replicating that. If anything it just highlights the importance of passion in art.

Oi mate I heard you posted hurty wordy on the internet

Are the armed protestors opposing ICE occupation fascists as well? If you ask me, that’s exactly why we have the second amendment. Don’t hand gun ownership to the far right, you’re playing into their hand.

Sure, they could get mugged but it’s less likely

This is completely untrue, men are (and always have been) the primary target of random violence such as mugging. According to FBI crime statistics it’s hugely disproportional year after year. Women are disproportionately victimized by their intimate partners, both male and female. Both of these facts are beyond tragic but it is, in my opinion, really important to get these things straight. Women are more likely to scream for help when they are being robbed which leads them to being de-prioritized when violent criminals are choosing their targets. Men tend to submit, and are likely to avoid reporting it due to shame, so the disparity is probably significantly higher than the already gigantic reported disparity.

Hope you don’t see this as me just trying to stir shit cause I’m not. It just really irks me to see that sentiment repeated even though it’s entirely unsubstantiated. I’m a man of small stature and a minority. With awareness of the reality of the situation, the threat of physical violence is literally always on my mind. I’ve had a solid handful of random encounters in public that very nearly turned violent and it causes me pretty severe anxiety.

Don’t know why I felt like typing a novel over this, like I said though I guess I just find it frustrating. I can’t talk to my female friends about this, they just laugh at me. They talk about it like I’m wholly immune to violence by virtue of being male when it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Edit with data from FBI crime data explorer: Over the last 10 years it’s 906k male victims of robbery to 474k female victims, and (though it doesn’t need to be said) that’s just about double.

Correct, and this post is about Bitcoin, which is PoW.

It’s not 51% of the coins, it’s 51% of the computing power on the network. Both of which are virtually impossible in the case of Bitcoin, though not entirely impossible. I just wouldn’t consider a 51% attack even remotely a threat to the network compared to something like government crackdown

Just cause you only liked something when you were young doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Everyone talks about the perspective you gain as an adult, but people don’t talk enough about the perspective you lose along the way.

It would marginally decrease the chance of your password being brute forced, which is likely the last way your password would ever get hacked, and most services have rate limiting to make this impossible or overwhelmingly unlikely anyway. So I’m gonna say no, not even slightly.

I mean, there’s no inconvenience at all in holding the door for someone. I just don’t wanna do it if it’s gonna lead to social anxiety for me.

I’ll never hold the door unless it’s a public building, they’re close enough that I wouldn’t need to hold it for long, and they aren’t a woman within 10 years of my age. My anxiety can’t risk me being seen as a creep so I don’t want someone to think I’m holding the door for them cause I’m attracted to them or anything like that.
