Hey. Nice try. My own comment tho, slightly higher.

Women have strong support movement on their side. It's not something they gain only through their sex, but rather something they gain I think mostly due to the same gender stereotypes that also act against them.

I never said women don't have expectations on them, in fact I literally said the opposite ^^ In the part you quoted I underlined just the fact that men face certain problems, not that only men face certain problems.

Eh. Nothin' to lose.

What are men’s problems? What problem do we suffer that also doesn’t affect women?

Women have strong support movement on their side. It's not something they gain only through their sex, but rather something they gain I think mostly due to the same gender stereotypes that also act against them.

Same stereotypes which isolate men and make them suffer in silence and alone, making showing any sign of weakness a fatal mistake.

Isn’t that what you are doing to feminist right now? Isn’t that what the article is talking about with the man-o-sphere?

I honestly don't see your point here - what commenter above you said is right, and sure as hell they didn't mention that it doesn't work the other way around.

Lol, like we men are immune from corporations promoting masculinity? Old spice, axe body spray, every sports based commercial… What gender do you think the majority of the CEO for these companies are?

What are men problems, huh? Like, dunno, expectation to always go after that false masculinity. Also, as far as I understand it, what you quoted above this part is just continuation of the point above it, nothing to add here.

Capitalism isn’t a fucking gender problem…it is the thing making everyone’s lives miserable. If we wanted to examine gender in capitalism we can take a look at which of the genders gains more from the system. What percent of the oligarchs are men, how many billionaires are men, how many senators and judges that keep the system going… it’s mostly dudes.

Yeah, but affects genders differently. Men are eaten, ground to a paste and then spat out. Women are bellitled and their work is seen as substandard. One side doesn't make the other any less, both are problems and commenter above you didn't say men have it worse, just that they suffer from it.

And the rich switch genders or something? Women can’t be part of the struggle against capitalism? What is wrong with you guys, do you not have mothers, sisters, women in your lives who are just friends?

What commenter above you is alluding to is the point of the whole post - Men do not get help. We do not have the same societal networks that women have to get together and stand up. And even if women decided to fight for us, it's for naught until we are able to start getting up by ourselves.

Young white men are being squeezed out of the ownership class for the first time and it’s because it’s the only demographic that hasn’t already been squeezed at this late stage of capitalism. The problem isn’t with women, it is the economic system that dangles a carrot for some, so they’ll wield the stick against others…and we’re all out of carrots. Welcome to the party, everyone else has been getting the stick the whole fucking time.

'kay. What's with that obsession with women? Commenter above you mentioned once that feminism can use men to portray them as evil, which they do because guess who makes them suffer most, and yet due to that you immediately went and threw everything they said as if they did nothing else but accuse women of men's suffering.

All in all, as far as I understand the comment above you, all boils down to:

  • Women gain on current situation so it makes sense they don't act.
  • Corporations gain on current situation so it makes sense they don't act.
  • Rich gain, and even if not then loose nothing on current situation so it makes sense they don't act.

Which are answers to question at the beggining:

Is there even an incentive for solving men’s problems?

IMO, the incentive is for us to move our asses, take notes from women and build our own support networks. But that is actually fought against by conservatists/right-wingers, because lonely and lost men make cheap and easily influenced canon fodder.

Just a pink mohawk and 21% chance to turn into a somewhat humanoid pig. Nothing to worry about 'till someone named Duke doesn't begin runnin 'round.

My partner actually thought she was quick in 'n out with shops until she witnessed, and then had to bear, me in action. Organise list by distance from the entrance and keep the flow of movement as fluid as possible, to snake your way through aisles ASAP and straight to self-checkout. In and out. And thank god for self-checkout, that cut at least 5 minutes of awkwardness from shopping.

Dude, he just got thrown off by just how slow it is. Like in fighting games. You are used to opponent light spamming the ever loving shit outta ya, so when he throws out a slow ass heavy you dodge just for the tracking to jump in later than normal and boom, got hit

Thanks for the response anyway! So basically "Don't sass me". This is simply sad, but even more sadly fits our current times :/

This pissess me off so much. I was raised in christian family. And I mean motherfucking christian. I was taught from young age to show compassion, to help other, to help others up even if I don't personally like them. This is what it means to me to be christian. Compassion, love, and charity. Help others without asking for anything back.

Which is also core of fucking theoretical communism, so no wonder that also fell.

But it pissess me off when I meet people who are soooooo fucking hardcore believers, each sunday in church, always praising god and then they start the goddamn gossip of the day. Because Annie has a man of a slightly darker carnation, it's obvious Annie is abused, poor Annie but in the end Annie knew what she was doing, oh that poor hoe hope she finds god in her life. FFS these gossipin pseudo-christians should find god in their life -.-'

There's epigram in polish, fun little thing by Jan Kochanowski. Translation would be

"If you're not sinning, as you're telling me, why are you, dear, confessing so often?".

They got...angry? What, typical "don't sass me" or what? What did they saaaay?

I know it's not my place to ask but just soooo curious ;-;

Now, take it with grain of salt but as far as I, as a outsider, see it...

The biggest difference between Democrats and Republicans is the amount of balls. Republicans have the balls, and are willing to smack them to the wall to get what they want.

Democrats instead prefer to taking the easiest possible way out and not do anything. But at the end of the day, both are liking where this circus is going.

I don't. XP was great, Vista sucked, 7 was great, 8 sucked, 10 was okay and 11 sucks.

But honestly where I live tech magazines try to push Linux every now and often. Which, paradoxically, alienates people from it further connecting it to "computer people".

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

That cheat sheet is weirdly coherent. Human, almost. Weird.

The won't kill Windows until there is some alternative for consuments and no, Linux ain't it...mostly because there is still a big faith in common folk that Linux is some arcane tech. Which is pretty much proven in their opion when they try to use it, cause they try to use it like Windows.

And no, Lemmings don't count, most of us have some kind of dev experience, be it professional or hobbyist.

 

Sooo...I'd normally look around the web to see if someone had something similiar happen to it but I am not sure how to put it in querable sentence...

Basically maps are out of wack when my partner plays. Lua infiltration? Some doors you need to unlock, she has unlocked from the start - the chandelier thingy you need to shoot down to punch a hole in the floor? It's down at the start of the game for her. On the other hand on Zariman we found out she has some of the maintenance passages closed, even though they're open for me.

I...am not sure what the heck is going on. Did someone had something like this happen to them? Her game updates normally so I dunno if it's something in the settings or what.
