We are all too easy to manipulate.

The more data they have on us, the easier it is.

Even grocery stores in poor neighborhoods charge more

Damn, this needs to be at the top.

We need to free ourselves from the shackles of roles-past.

That’s what feminism did.

So what if I’m not the breadwinner?

So what if I cry at sappy moments in movies?

So what if I need validation for my feelings?

Society is still okay with pushing this onto men, and it needs a moment of unity to say “this does not define me as a man”

I agree with the effects you’re seeing but not the cause.

Women’s liberation changed how women are presented in society. It fundamentally changed what it means to be a woman.

Men never went through that. At the moment, we sorta can’t. If I were to create a “men’s liberation" group, it would quickly be taken over by Incels. Hard-core feminists would also stir up a fuss that this group was exclusionary to them. So we are kind of stuck.

Manhood needs to be redefined, because many of the classic male role definitions no longer apply. men can be sensitive where historically they've been expected to be stoic. Men can raise children when classically they have been breadwinners while the women raise children.

I think these are all great changes, but we haven't been able to redefine manhood in the same way that the feminists were able to redefine womanhood.

I don't have a good answer, we are somewhat handcuffed by the expectation to fulfil classic roles, along with new expectations to be more modern feminist-aware, sensitive men. The two are not compatible enough to make for a nice midpoint.

Because it’s likely the first thing you notice and then you look for the harmful secondary traits.

Like a guy that has a really short fuse with himself. He might just have really high expectations for himself…… buuuuut once you notice that first trait, you keep your eyes out for the secondary ones, where he has a shorter fuse with others.

I’m very sorry that your life feels so out of control that you need to lash out so quickly with condescension.

Did you want to talk? Or perhaps explain where you think I misunderstand?

And if you “device type” that…. You’ll see a router likely.

Yes.

And they would ask “why is there a router on your network”

Probably just MAC address lookups, but also possibly something weird like “ttl “ stats

It’s a rarity afaik, I’ve only heard of one or two cases, but a concerning report to me personally.

Though I’m Canadian so it’ll be a few years before it filters here (assuming it catches on)

Yeah, they can still tell that you’re Nat behind another router.

But they don’t like it because it gives them less access to your network and more possibility for something to be wrong

Some isp’s have been detecting the second router and giving people shit for it.

But I’m with you on that, I don’t trust the isp’s backdoored router-modem. Hard pass.

I just visited Graceland, the number of black folks that wanted to vote for trump was terrifying.

They had some really valid complaints about the Democrats, but they had no idea of what trump was, they just knew that the democrats weren’t solving their problems.

No, I think it’s the opposite…..

Which part of trumps agenda is hidden? I mean he puts it ALL on display and his supporters don’t give a fuck.

I would bet that there’s nothing there because everyone already knows, and people have already decided whether they give a shit or not

And that’s terrifying

Lisa!

In this house we obey the laws of THERMODYNAMICS!!

Fair point.

Not all preservatives are “salt” and not all of them are good.

For example, trans fats.

Everyone’s up in arms about a literal anonymous counter, but the other option is the current “spy on everything you do”

How is Mozilla getting flak for this outside of a few hardcore nerds that are welcome to use chrome if they so desire…

And I say that as a huge privacy advocate. In the local tin foil hat “privacy matters” nerd and I honestly don’t see the problem.

And quite frankly anyone that’s said it’s a problem has only been able to come up with “it shouldn’t help them count your views “ which is ridiculous, because it’s very anonymous.

Sooo …. Help me out here, what’s the issue?
