This link specifically mentions that NAMI considers mental health part of men's health month. And if you think an organization that is chaired primarily by women and is a massive LGTBQ advocacy group (as they still have their DEI initiatives in place) supports this b/c they're trying to sow division, you have an agenda not a credible argument.

To my fellow men: ignore the gaslighters in here. NAMI endorses this month, and they are a highly regarded non-profit for mental health advocacy and support. I don't think OP posted it here ironically b/c they actually posted the NAMI link outlining their support of men's mental health.

Hope you all the best and take care of yourselves. Also, if you feel alone, NAMI has a search engine to help find support groups, meetup has a lot (just gotta expand your city search for remote meetups), always explore your insurance's therapy coverage if you have insurance, and if all that fails, chatgpt provides some decent feedback and perspective without marginalizing your experiences like an asshole would.

They should do this by socioeconomic breakdowns. I’m curious how the groups compare when controlling for that.

ETA: After reading the study, it’s worth noting that research is being conducted into depression and loneliness contributions (if any) to inceldom, but the “strongest” evidence is that inceldom causes depression and loneliness, but not necessary the other way around. Excluding that detail will only serve to further negatively stigmatize men that have depression issues regardless of the nature of that depression.

And there should be more acknowledgment to the fact that the effect sizes were closer to small than anything, and the R-squared were very small meaning that gender actually explained very little about the variations in satisfaction levels, meaning it’s explanatory power for their sample is limited and that the difference itself has a lot of room to be explained by other factors. So while gender did have a consistent effect on satisfaction levels, it was a small difference and it explained very little of the overall variation.

Please keep these kinds of considerations in mind when reading these papers.

Genuinely curious, what’s it weak/vague on?

Even got the pencil. Kudos

 

A few weeks ago i was walking my dog around 11pm, and a driver jokingly did a brake torque as we were crossing the street. He was maybe 3 feet away from us.

After yelling at each other, he threatened to kill me and my dog the next time he saw us. As I pulled my camera he peeled out and hurled a racial comment my way. Sadly, there was so much movement i couldnt get the plate, and i didnt get anything that happened before that on camera.

So I got a body cam to wear for all my walks. Unfortunately, this is not the only time people have been racist and threatened my life so I’m just tired of it and hoping it might encourage people to behave. Feels lame, but it does provide some comfort. Does anyone else do the same?

 

I moved to a really cold and dry climate which has made my cheeks light up like a christmas tree. I've always lived in humid cities so this isn't something I've had to think about.

Anyone have suggestions on reasonably priced moisturizers that could help out? I checked out Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, but at $60+, I'd like to check if any comparable alternatives exist at a lower cost.

 

I found a Specialized Allez Sport (2014) that a bike shop is pricing at $425. It has rim brakes and downtube shifters.

Is this a decent deal?
