Actually, the current generation of AirPods Pro (2) do as well, you just have to update their firmware to the new iOS 26 version.
- Comment on My friend exposed a guy for bad stuff. Now he's created a site where he archives everything my friend posts online & deliberately twists it to make her look bad/discredit her. What should she do? 2 days ago:
Go talk to a fucking lawyer and stop seeking advice from people online!

Then she too wasn’t using the word correctly. She may have meant the affective portion of it, which she probably didn’t have.
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 4 days ago:
There’s nothing in the context of this quote or Elon Musk’s that suggests they’re talking about empathy being taught in schools and it making boys weak. In both cases it’s more a response to Democrats using the word a lot in their political speech to try to bring coalitions of people together.
- Comment on No I'm really not sorry. George Floyd was a father too, and before old Charlie had his personal turning point he called him a scumbag. 5 days ago:
I would encourage people to read the Wikipedia page on George Floyd. He was a complicated and flawed individual, who definitely did some bad things and didn’t make very good decisions all the time. But he tried to improve later in his life with mixed results (at least with regards to drug addiction), and that counts for something, I think.
Derek Chauvin and Charlie Kirk, by comparison, tended to get worse as their lives went on. Chauvin may well have framed Floyd for a drug crime and Kirk espoused factually false information to millions of people just to gain fame and power in conservative circles.
These people are not the same.

Then please explain the quote above.
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 5 days ago:
The man simply didn’t understand the word at all. Empathy is our capacity to understand the minds of others. It does not convey approval or agreement, simply understanding. Psychopaths have empathy; it’s how they’re good at manipulating others. You have to understand someone to manipulate them effectively. All humans possess some degree of empathy, as do most animals.
There is an affective (emotional) component to empathy that effectively causes your mind to conjure the same emotion you perceive another person (or animal) to be feeling. This is why you cry when watching an emotional scene in films sometimes. Psychopaths do not have this component, which is why they seem emotionally cold to people sometimes. Psychopaths have to fake this in order to blend into society, and they learn to do so over the course of their lives.
Charlie Kirk simply didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about in this instance, and Elon Musk doesn’t either. As someone on the autism spectrum, I’m not surprised Musk has some difficulty with the concept.

Got it time. Lemmy will become like Reddit given enough use base and time. It’s inevitable.
- Comment on bro who tf invented the SPOON 💀 like u see a puddle and thought “yeah imma scoop that” 1 week ago:
I don’t think this is difficult to understand at all. You want to have a tool to scoop liquid, hold it in your hand, and allow you to pour it into your mouth. So, you invent a cup or a bowl. Then, you want a tool that allows you to do this in mouth-sized bits. So, you invent a spoon. Or, if you’re really smart, a straw.
This really isn’t that hard.

I was really referring to the first book, in which a character invites the Trisolarians to conquer Earth because she’s pissed off at her own government.

Dude, seriously, calm down and connect with reality a bit more. Not everything is a conspiracy.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
No, because it’s just not related to capitalism at all. Lemmings love to blame capitalism for everything, and you see it in every bad thing in the world.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
No. That is not an effect of capitalism. That is just a fact of rural living. God, Lemmings love to blame capitalism for everything.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
Fair enough, I should have been clearer. I recognize that social isolation has deleterious effects on people. The part I was dismissing was the attribution to capitalism. Capitalism does not cause this effect. Other factors are responsible.

Side 2 has not actual relevance to the problem itself. These societal tropes are not why men are having a hard time finding women. It’s just a societal trope posing as an explanation.
Side 3 is the only relevant issue. Men are constantly told they need to be more vulnerable or their masculinity is toxic, and yet when they express themselves vulnerably, they’re punished for it.
The problem is that the people touting the toxic masculinity narrative (feminists) don’t take into account how much women reinforce toxic masculinity.
The deeper problem: feminists think they represent women to a far greater extent than they actually do. The fact of the matter is that most women don’t identify as feminists, and therefore feminists are representing liberal gender beliefs, rather than most women. Don’t get me wrong: I actually agree with feminists on balance, but their messaging is garbage, divisive, bullshit. Feminism is far too consumed by misandry to effectively argue their points in a way that could persuade the majority of men and women to support them. This is why they encounter so much failure when their cause is actually 90% right.

So how do you interpret the toxic masculinity line in the middle?
- Comment on I love bpd girls 3 weeks ago:
She’s disordered, but it’s the man’s fault. Typical.

The new Fantastic Four movie didn’t have any political messaging in it that I could discern.

No, you don’t understand my point, and that’s kind of sad, because my point isn’t that hard to grasp. I’m tired of explaining it though, so have a good night.
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 4 weeks ago:
I don’t like it when comics do it either. What’s your point?
- Comment on Teddybears - Punkrocker 4 weeks ago:
The part where he makes aspects of the story clearly allegorical to real-world events. Are you seriously debating that he’s doing this?
