Powers of ten my ass

Smh most of these replies are just memes

Stop telling young men and boys they are toxic in front of their peers.

oh so you’re just done reading I guess then, because I already refuted that

please define toxic femininity

Traits of femininity that are toxic. Is that the best gotcha you have?

I think my main complaint is that teaching young people graduate level race and gender theories without all the prerequisite understandings needed to take those courses

I think you just have a fundamental misunderstanding of what is being taught to children. We can teach the broad strokes morals and ethics without the collegiate theory. Kids can learn about Martin Luther King Jr and why racism is bad, we’ve been doing it for decades. Adding toxic masculinity would be more of the same “don’t be an asshole” but with gender instead of race.

we’re just telling them that men are toxic rapists

We are telling young boys and men (who don’t even know what masculinity even is yet) that men are toxic.

We are not, though? The idea of toxic masculinity does not tell anyone that men are toxic, or even that masculinity in general is toxic, it’s about specific behaviors.

but teaching kids about academic ideas like the patriarchy and toxic masculinity just makes them feel like they were born with sin or something for being a sexual human being.

I think this is cope tbh, people say the same thing about how teaching real history is just teaching “white guilt,” but this is just low effort denialism to try and say the problem wouldn’t exist if you just stop talking about it. I was a white person in school, and I never felt guilty for being a white person when I learned what America did, I felt like America did bad things.

Similarly, teaching boys that “hey, you know that behavior you might see in old movies that looks kinda cool? it turns you into an asshole if you act like that in real life” is not teaching them male guilt or self hatred.

I just picked up Drumshanbo with California Oranges and it is positively delicious, very strong nose without a strong taste, great for sipping or mixing.

Tanq 10 is on my list but every place I’ve visited didn’t have it

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

― Isaac Asimov, 1980

at least that long

Posts complaining about “politics” and “propaganda” are invariably made by people who want to see those things, just the kind aligned with their politics.

I disagree, IMO a lot of it is just low effort trash spammed across multiple communities, multiplying how annoying it is. It’s not that I disagree with the idea, I just think “elites bad, updoots to the left” is mind numbingly lazy.

kek

topkek, even

I don’t know how it came about

iirc the facility that we see housing the evil iron man ripoff suits was a SpaceX facility irl

but that’s not how it is

Doesn’t mean it can’t be that way, though, One way nationalization also exists.

Yes, it is rather backwards for a handful of companies to own entire blocks of IP addresses just because. The infrastructure was massively funded by public dollars, it should be publicly owned.

I don’t know what this is a question to.

Not opposed to that, but I’m more concerned with being able to get one at low cost, would need at least .net to kinda expand the pool.

How do we make domains more democratic? It seems so backwards that massive corporations and groups of massive corporations are the only bodies that get to decide things like this that aren’t literally states.

Wow, you’ve gotten worse.

rather the nebulous blob of feminity that is a whole range of lived identities and expressions of gender coming together to say fuck off to a fascist is the thing I was trying to call sexy

yeah dude that doesn’t sound any less weird

Bitcoin isn’t that.
