Meth. Not even once.

Not one single government cares so much about it tho.

Way to generalise, bro. There are some low lying island states that are going to disappear under the rising sea levels. I think they are taking it pretty seriously.

Don't bullshit please.

I feel you, but you need to remember that the world is generally a pretty chaotic place and predicting the future when complex systems pass tipping points and transition to new equilibria (as they are at the moment) is pretty difficult.

Invest in yourself, your ability to cope with new and unfamiliar things, and build resilience. Resilience being the ability to bounce forward when you hit rocky patches. Don't expect to bounce back and end up where you left off, but learn to adjust to the chaos where you need to.

Develop your capabilities until you have a sense of being a competent, worthwhile and dependable person outside of the circus going on around us. Someone that isn't quite so dependent on the big bad system we are often forced to be part of.

Can't we make a society people want to live and procreate in instead of slapping a sticking plaster on a civilisation that doesn't want to go on anymore?

Is this what an out of control madman looks like?

Gentoo. No. Compiling all of the things was not for me.

Why would I want to extend my life?

Can't we just take all of the sociopaths from the banking industry and stick them on the front line?

I was told it was weird to use the phrase "surfing the web" the other day. I am not even that old.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Yes, that would be nice in an ideal world there would be no issues which affected one sex more than another, but we are not in a perfect world.

I'm afraid this doesn't really help me understand the view that men's problems aren't as worthy as women's issues.

Your brain is constantly processing the inputs from all of your senses and pretty much ignoring them if they fit with what it is already expecting.

Your brain is lazy. If everything seems to fit with what your brain expects then you believe that what you are seing is reality and you generally ignore it.

Generally the mind only focuses on what it believes is salient/interesting/unexpected.

Thanks for your comment, it's certainly one of the better considered ones in this thread!

There are many points of similarity and difference between the various forms of prejudice. And one of the things that makes sexism unique is that prejudice against women inevitably creates a mirror prejudice about (if not intentionally against) men. If being feminine means having emotions other than rage, men are allowed to experience only rage. If being feminine means caring for others, men are not allowed to care for (or about) others.

How do we distinguish between legitimate grievances that men may have and the more reactionary/politically divisive. Whenever I hear the above argument, it strikes me as dismissive of legitimate issues and it feels dismissive of my experiences.

In order to affect real change, do we not need to move past dismissing the problems raised by one gender? Isn't it more likely that we change people's behaviour by acceptance of their viewpoint rather than telling them they're just being difficult?

feminism is fundamentally as important for men as it is for women and the issues facing men exist precisely because of the history of subjugating women

I agree with you here, but I think it's also important to take note of the fact that feminism is a fairly broad church so the idea that there is one 'feminist perspective' which cares about men too is, to my mind, undermined by the negation of the importance of men's issues I commonly see.

No thanks.

Is that Donald Trump?

You read all of the news?

All of my electrons?

I've come across a segment of society which seems to believe that men don't feel emotions in the same way as women, that they should be tough - not cry, 'be a man', 'man up'.

My belief is that a number of men in society are psychologically scarred by regressive beliefs like these and would hazard a guess that these beliefs contribute towards loneliness and suicide. I also believe that it's a big driver of things like the red pill movement.

Now you might say that this is a feminist issue, in that it's the result of outmoded gender stereotypes (which probably have a negative impact on women too), and I would broadly agree with you. But until we allow men to come out and say "I suffer too from sexism" I don't see how we can move past it.

I heard child labour was legal in the US again? Or is this not in Arizona?

Can I shutdown yet?

Optimised into genocide.

Sounds like Britain for the past 15 years.

I don't believe there is a space in society for men's to talk about issues like this that affect them. I don't believe there are structures in place to attempt to address these issues.

Shampoo cleans, conditioner binds moisture in. Cleaning is good, binding radioactive goop in is bad. Don't condition.

Immiseration of the population seems to be the name of the game for the nasty party.

Welcome to state capitalism.

I was gonna ask if they asked Trump to decide the headline.

So if the LLM doesn't feel like doing its research properly then questions won't be accurately answered? And the inbuilt bias of the AI will never be challenged because all of the references it chose to include will check out? Its blind spots becoming our blind spots? It's idea of a criminal becoming our idea of a criminal?

No wonder politicians love it.

Yes, downvoting me proves I'm wrong.

Looks like the US shills have made their way to lemmy now.
