For #6, I don't think we necessarily have to move away from the idea that being a man means being a provider and a protector. At least to me those are some of the core tenants of being a man.

The person above you mentioned the men in Avatar the last Airbender. But I also want to add in the men in LOTR, Gomez Adams, Ted Lasso, Kratos in the newer god of war games, and Steve Rodgers.

These are men who are caring, loving, emotional and they are (mostly) able to show those emotions, capable of growth, and able to admit when they are wrong. But they are still men. Men who struggle with anger, men go to war and protect their families, men who are incredibly strong in the face of struggle, men who sometimes make "inappropriate" (to the left) jokes, and men who strive for nothing else but bettering the lives of those in their care.

I sometimes hate that what counts as "positive masculinity" is really just feminity but dressed up in a blue bow. Men are not women and telling them that they can't be super competitive, can't be angry, and can't fail is just setting them up to fall into toxic masculinity. This might just be me talking about the culture I was raised in but those things aren't necessarily a bad thing, and erasing what a "man" has been for generations isn't going to win you any extra fans.

So wouldn't that mean that child birth is less painful? Because pain receptors and memory are also evolutionary traits?

Id say religion tends to be more of a reflection of what a society finds as civil. Look at other religions around the world, or historical religions and there are some things that would be entirely unacceptable in my local society at least.

This! Im gonna get down voted for this im sure but I've been using Lemmy instead of reddit for almost a year now or so but the hive mind is almost worse here than it is on reddit! People here seem to not be interested in actual discussion unless you agree 100% with them. It's frustrating, I was hoping Lemmy was gonna be better.

Oh well, at least there's less bigots and my app still works haha

It's called "cheese cake" not "cheese pie" so I don't think so

From the article for anyone who cares, NASA uses 15 digits (3.141592653589793) because at Voyagers current distance from earth (~48 billion kilometers) that would give you an accuracy of less than half an inch.

The Phantom VI (the Phantom available in 1980) cost nearly nearly half a million pounds new. The Silver Spirit (or Spur depending on where you were) is probably the rolls you are thinking of, and it had a MSRP of a little over $100k new.

According to the CPI inflation calculator the Phantom would be about $1.4 million today, and the Silver Spirit would be about $334k.

This year's phantom starts at around half a million but (IMO) it's more of a "luxury car" compared to the ultra high end Phantom VI. But I think the Phantom is less of a car you buy and more of a modular platform you build your car on top of so I imagine there's so multimillion dollar phantoms rolling (hehe) around

They aren't fool proof, and relatively easy to detect from the source.

Ah you see, I've found a flaw in your plan! If they dont make unimaginable amounts of money how can they give the US president a $400m jet as a bribe gift???

Yeah but how would shell and the Saudi royal family make unimaginable amounts of money if we move to renewables??? I bet you didnt think of that liburul

Hasn't Iran been talking about ramping up nuclear weapons production since like the end of last year? I don't think they're actually a nuclear capable nation but I could see them posturing like they are

I disagree with the other person, rsync + ssh is faster even in my own benchmarks. But samba is plenty fast enough these days, I can easily have it max out my gigabit network so I don't need anything faster. So for me (and I would guess the majority of people) speed really isn't a concern anymore, so I use samba because it's easy to use and it makes sharing network folders to anything else a breeze.

It's like phones. Yeah technically the newest iPhone is faster than this years budget Samsung. But when's the last time your phone was actually a bottleneck? (Unless you're one of those people who play games, in which case, actually please respond cause I could use some really nice idle city builders for my phone pls)

I wanna know who refactored all of the fucks out of 4.18

Their chicken tenders are some of the best fast food tenders you can get too. Plus they come with sourdough toast

I just wish they would fix bombers somehow. I wish I could fly my B-17 or B-29 and actually drop bombs.

All I want is high altitude carpet bombing, I know everyone else thinks it's boring but it's what I want 😭

All 5 of the dues ex games were good. And Ill die on that hill

Tbh, I don't care what the "intent" was. Swinging an animal by its feet into a wall because it stole your chips is an entirely inappropriate response.

Like if you kicked a dog in the head because it peed in your lawn. It's a disgusting and very much non-proportional response.

No but brutally killing an animal in public in front of children is.

It's almost like different people enjoy different things haha

Haha unfortunately the music on YouTube is not especially well managed. Ive been using YouTube for music for a long time so a lot of my music is uploaded by Vevo or "{Artist} - Topic" and stuff like that. Plus (IIRC) YouTube music doesn't give things like what album a song is from or when it was released
