I mean yes but it’s more than just feelings and hateful people on Twitter:

• the death of many careers that men primarily occupied without any plan to deal with it
• the changing of education into a format that doesn’t work well for men
• systematic sexism that is denying men opportunities in education and work that started as benevolence towards women, but when younger women started to displace men and make more money than them, feminists applauded it and demanded even more for the sake of revenge

And when you talk about this as a man you get exactly the kind of replies I got, or worse. This is how you drive men right.

I’m honestly tired of women bailing us out in these elections though, so I cannot imagine what it’s like for them to have to keep doing it.

That said, when men were losing their jobs they got told “learn to code” by callous and shitty journalists and women’s rights activists. It’s not hard to see why men are abandoning liberal governments that blame them for everything even while they are experiencing statistically worse outcomes with each successive generation.

The solution is so simple that you have to be abandoning it on purpose: promise men educations and to help them get employed, and you’ll get all the support you need.

Forget the porn, it’s the absolute insanity of forcing (and allowing) all these different web services to get and maintain our identities. Huge privacy breach from people preaching that government overreach is bad… This hypocrisy gets old fast.

The only good thing I’ve seen him say is that there should be more competition in the telecommunications market

The Conservatives didn’t do anything last time about this despite it being a big discussion point, and they had years of majority to do it. I don’t see them changing tack since they don’t seem too bothered by any of Canada’s other oligarchs.

All that said, the Liberals barely took a step forward on this either, right before taking a huge step back allowing Rogers and Shaw to merge. These damned neoliberals just refuse to help anyone.

It’s more better lol

Seriously though it’s really well thought out actually. Each planet has unique challenges you will have to deal with and it’s clear they put a lot of effort into designing these challenges and their solutions. Each planet grants new features that give you options you wouldn’t otherwise have to help solve other problems. Lots of quality of life changes and an ever-improving user experience.

It won’t win over people who didn’t like Factorio but fans of the game will get more of what they love.

I mean I’m down as long as we’re not talking going full tankie

Plenty of church-going pro-lifers feel like they’re doing the best for their communities and people in general. It’s why when we make arguments we need to not talk down to people like they’re idiots, because they generally are not.

If I was on the receiving end of a line that far up it’s own ass I’d stop listening immediately.

What does getting bigger actually accomplish? I’ve been through enough Eternal Summers to know it sucks to lose a place you like to the swarm of terminally online bootlickers who infest every place that actually has people they can rule over. I’m good

A typical position held by people who call themselves “left” is a desire to completely ban gun ownership on the grounds that gun ownership leads to gun violence.

Gun violence was much lower when you could buy actual machine guns right off the shelf, and mass shootings were virtually unheard of. What happened since then, and how would banning guns fix it?

This is just one of many blind spots that make the statement unrealistic.

You need clearer language? Only immature people worry about being “grown up”, well-adjusted people just get on with it.

Normie filter, based in Canada, less tankies, fun name. I mean those are strong selling points.

“when you grow up” is what people say when their skin starts to grow over the mask they wear.

I got tired of half-assing being someone else. Frankly I’m too busy to bother.

“I can’t link this, it doesn’t fit within my corporate values!”

Yeah that’s why I’m here. The name makes this place much more difficult for corpo scum to infest it.

Ok I’m a lefty but I’ve always hated this statement. It is the launching point of a great deal of ignorance and idiocy, kind of like some religious dogma.

It’s in the nature of males to seek control over female reproduction

Go down to the section titled “Views on abortion by gender, 2024” https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/

I keep critical applications running at work that thousands depend on. While I was at a union convention, one of my apps broke. I had to login that day and fix it while going over the budget with other members.

This is how the IT world is. I’m the only person capable of maintaining it and I must be available if things go wrong. The show must go on.

You don’t tell the fucking UN to evacuate because you want to attack someone.

It’s like when Bush Jr. pushed for the adoption of reading programs across America that focused on phonics, so people took a rebellious stance and taught kids “balanced reading” which taught kids to memorize words rather than the sounds that make up words.

The result: an epidemic of illiteracy to own the Republicans. Bush was/is a warmongering piece of shit but he was right about phonics being the correct way to learn reading.

I’ve never seen self-proclaimed leftists hurl more vitriol than when an openly-socialist labor organizer in my union said they were for freedom of speech (for humans) and generally supportive of firearm ownership. Absolutely wild reaction.

People are still playing? That’s tempting, I still haven’t found something that hits the spot this game did.
