I think the vast majority of dudes are just skimming the surface and never get into communities about it.
I’ve come across them. But only on 4chan, which there is fuckall anyone can do about, short of breaking into their site.
Most of the guys i know would think doing so was weird.
I would hope the same of my friend group. I’ve tossed a lot of friendships in the trash because of their behavior. So those that remain are hopefully those that are actually good.
However, it’s mainly boys/men with this problem and they’re having issues dating or with school and everything and blame it all on their Chinese parent.
Yeah that touches on a related problem, the fact that we’ve designed society to be anti-social.
It’s incredibly hard to have a social life, and as a result people lash out. And they tend not to care about if the thing they lash out against is the correct thing to lash out against.
And it’s a self feeding cycle. Because men tend to lash out in the form of right wing populism, and any woman who knows anything will steer clear of that nonsense. So it feeds into itself.
In your case it’s self hatred racism, but it’s driven by the same forces.
These are forums with millions of members on mainstream sites such as Reddit, Discord and 4chan. These are men writing about their wives, their mums, their mate’s daughter, exchanging images, sharing women’s names, socials and contact details, and no one – not one man – is calling them out. They’re patting each other on the back.
I suspect there is some amount of survivorship bias type thing going on here. The type of men to hang out in such places are the type that enjoy it, and as such would never call out such behavior. The men that don’t enjoy such will tend not to come across such content in the first place.
So the first group just doesn’t care, the second doesn’t see it in the first place.
There is also probably some degree of the second group of men acknowledging that trying to call out such behavior won’t go very far. If you said “hey don’t share this woman’s pics” on 4chan, you’re going to immediately get laughed at, ignored, and probably called a bunch of slurs. And then they’ll keep on doing it because you told them not to. And that’s in no small part because these places are puedo anonymous.
Men can’t get away with such behavior as easily outside of the internet. Calling them out in real life is far more likely to go somewhere. However ther are caveats. Again comes the survivorship bias thing I mentioned. But worse, if done in real life and calling out that behavior backfires, it becomes a teaching moment. “Don’t tell other men to behave decent or they’ll ostracize and harass you”.
It’s a fucked up situation all around.
The current PM where I work:
Their only actual job as far as I can tell is to tell the suits what they want to hear in their fucked up little business language. But I haven’t seen that, so maybe they’re terrible at that as well.
It feels like they memorized and religiously practice the CIA’s handbook for field sabotage.
Nonsense! We’ve got plenty of friends here:
Maybe the year of the Linux desktop was the journey we met along the way.
This isn’t gonna be the last ship the rats try to escape to. There will be another fancy thing they want down the line. Maybe it’ll be Boston dynamics style dog bots with AI. Maybe it’ll be some quantum computer scam.
It’s a constant cycle of bullshit motivated by profit, a cycle that doesn’t need to exist.
Somewhat unrelated, but I’m glad to see more and more posts using xcancel.
It’d probably be fine, it uses the leftover fibers, not literal sugar that dissolves. A layer of waterproofing that’d you’d use for an earthen home or earth ship would probably do the trick.
Hence why I said kind of.
We kind of have that:
The problem is that you can’t exactly boil solid food, and its energy intensive. But at least it’s something.
Just make sure it doesn’t turn into another Jamestown situation.
Works on my machine.
I’m shocked that friday’s deployment to prod didn’t explode.
Which is why you have a judiciary and constitution outlining protections.
So maybe we should switch to systems that represent everyone equally, with equal and fair democratic representation, so that when evil inevitably arises it can be squashed.
Breezy weather for Android. It works exactly the same, and doesn’t have any of the privacy bullshit strings attached.
I tend to aim for 50% of the day doing actual shit, as long as I have some good progress to show for the day. The rest of it is resting and keeping up with house chores.
In person was such a shit show. I was only working for 50% anyways, and also had chores once I got home. So it was a lose lose situation for both me and my employer.
Not looking forward to the RTO they’re inevitably going to do.
One of my coworkers is a furry. He’s the only god dammed person on the team holding the project together.
His code is deep magic though, so it’s a double edged sword.
30 years from now Elmo is gonna be explaining nuclear war in puppet form to children in caves.
