wow. Every new sentence more hateful than the last.

“the group that lived through obscene levels of violence and abuse throughout dozens of centuries is incorrectly (that part is true) labeling all members of said group as abusers, let me join the group advocating for more abuse” - how the hell does one justify this unhinged statement is beyond me. I would like to clarify, I completely disagree with the comment you replied to, I think it’s deeply incorrect and unfair, in addition to ignorant, but that’s really not grounds forresorting to fascism and treating women as animals. Because if that justification of a minor uneducated subgroup being ignorant was honest, the extreme on the right are soo much more evil.

I lean quite to the left and have rarely, if ever, heard many boogie-man talking points in this comment thread that people are obsessed over. And in terms of “centrists” equating patriarchy with men, for me it’s an intelligence/education issue, combined with refusal to have real life human contact with women, and, of course, choosing to blame literally the oppressed for all the harm that patriarchy causes them or their fellow men
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 days ago:
competitive spirit is very healthy, however we have decades of very well documented evidence of how keeping it unchecked and alienating anyone with emotional intelligence plays out in real life. I also never called men as worse human beings - case in point that anyone pointing out the toxicity in **male only **culture is labeled as hating men
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 days ago:
my existence and me wanting to not be oppressed is not “the left”. Men throwing tantrums at not having unchecked control over women in the workplace or not having maids at home is not an “articulated” problem or a solution. I’ve done nothing but give support and love to good men around me who are partners or friends because I hurt for how much harm patriarchy inflicts on them too, and having heard from them how toxic, unjust, and completely devoid of empathy the oppressive environment created by their fellow men is, I have zero tolerance for people advocating to keep subjecting humans to that culture.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 days ago:
The fact that you’re the only person who pointed out what men can do and are being downvoted is insane. Everyone else is completely blind to even entertaining the idea that progress might not be the main problem.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 days ago:
liberal politicians and liberal MSM frame it that way, because they have nothing else to offer but toxic culture wars.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 days ago:
wow. most of what you write creates culture that completely excludes and alienates women. See: hostility of current male dominated fields towards women. Blows my mind that you consider going backwards, rather than male culture evolving to be better human beings, to be a solution.
- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 5 weeks ago:
core if your question was about the outcome that such technology would have. The reasoning behind the treaty explains that outcome.
You’ll benefit from working on being a more receptive to new information
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
The core is open source for some of their editors, WebStorm is not for example. Some frameworks and tools are only supported in the paid edition, and I missed then within the first hour of using the community version.
vim and VS Code are not alternatives as they are not IDEs, just editors. Especially for vs code, it manages to barely do half of what IntelliJ does while being slower and hogging way more memory (this is before extensions). I also do TDD and when I pair up with my coworkers sometimes we are not able to find equivalent features that make my development easier. And don’t even get me started with a debugger, in vs code it manages to take up more space while giving less information and options. It’s simply inferior.
I’ve tried and tried to create an IDE equivalent setup in vim and emacs but it was always “off”, I was stuck for hours and days trying to set up functionalities that work out of the box in IntelliJ, and after some months I just gave up.

Ableton, IntelliJ, 1password are miles ahead their alternatives. I also haven’t been able to replace google maps for public transit (very sad about that).
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
I have home assistant green, I just plugged it in and it set itself up fully, zero intervention needed. In a few minutes, everything was ready and it automatically found and (after confirming) imported all my existing stuff. Flawless.
UX is very unintuitive though, I’ve had it for a while and can not get used to how things are organized
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
drawio is not open source
- Comment on Have there been any major changes noticed in countries that have recently split? 2 months ago:
Members of the USSR were sovereign nations invaded by Russia, with most cultures not even Slavic and in no way related to Russian. Erasing their identity so casually makes my blood boil.

it looks like it isn’t holding up? How are they allowed to still campaign?
- Comment on Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game? 1 year ago:
Then there are also people who drink or used to drink a lot or use lots of recreational drugs in higher than safe doses and call it adhd when they experience memory or attention problems… When I finally admitted I needed help, it was after years of positive lifestyle changes not having any effect. That’s very bad too because I pretty much tortured myself for too long, most of my potential went down the drain and I became a person who pretty much no longer trusts themselves and is always scared of pursuing opportunities because of inevitable spiraling into dysfunction. That scenario is something nobody should end up in and people need to feel supported to seek help to minimize such damage, but those making zero effort and completely jumping over so many first steps in helping the typical and very common symptoms is really irresponsible. Having people claim to have adhd just because they have memory problems, or attention problems from spending unrestricted and unmonitored amount on apps designed to break the brain, or a textbook burnout… It’s not just insensitive to those who are suffering from the disability, it is also detrimental to give amphetamines to a body that needs care, rest, or exercise.

There were so many new ideas and perspectives in that article for me. It was a very interesting read, thanks for sharing.

hope you find something, wish you luck!
- Comment on How do passkeys work across devices? 1 year ago:
I use camera one for github on a device outside my icloud, works great. A few websites also allowed me to add second passkeys (bitwarden in addition to icloud)
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 1 year ago:
Because it’s a few dozen times faster? You can literally reach into a container and take out one cup and that’s it. Works for me ost liquids or grainy stuff. Not from US btw.
- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 1 year ago:
interesting how you only see the third category going one way
