Oh, thank goodness.

If they really hate Canada so much, they should emigrate - America is due south. Pack up and leave!

Apple is the least bad + most functional option out there.

Nothing else will go further in being least bad, unless you are willing to completely sacrifice functionality and usability.

Apple at least walks the walk of protecting user privacy because they aren’t dependent on non-hardware, non-app-store revenue (as in, selling user’s data). Google is absolutely dependent on revenue from selling user data because their hardware and App Store revenue is almost insignificant in comparison.

Every single member of ICE needs to be arrested and put on trial as a traitor and a terrorist.

I have a really big thing for 70s PNW homes done really, really well. The vaulted ceilings, open concept main areas with multiple levels, the sunken living rooms, the cedar used everywhere… just leave out the shag carpet and I’ll be A-OK.

Good brutalist architecture can take your breath away. It’s so solid, so permanent, so delightfully uncompromising.

• According to the church, babies are without sin. If they die at birth, they go straight to heaven.
• Abortion was illegal at the time.
• Contraception was not widely available at the time, heavily discouraged by the church, and was still very primitive and hit-and-miss.
• There were far more unwed mothers having babies than couples who couldn’t have children, but wanted them.

1+1=2.

And here you are, still treating women as a monolith despite noting your wife doesn’t act that way

So engaging with women for who they are, instead of what they are, is somehow “treating them like a monolith”?

Strange, that. Especially since women have been screaming at men for literal decades now to “don’t treat us like objects!! Don’t objectify us!!1!”

And yet. Here I am not treating them as a monolith by ignoring their gender and interacting with them as I would anyone else, irrespective of gender.

You have some very strange pro-objectification-of-women ideas.

You literally implied that women fighting for the right to be included everywhere. Was about supremacy. That feminism is about supremacy. Your own words. Read your previous post. Perhaps you misspoke. But I don't think so. And neither did most of the other people reading.

This is borderline sealioning, an explicit trolling act.

But there is a chance that your bleeding ignorance might be genuine. So I’ll bite.

The problem is that women are forcing their way into every man’s space, and preventing men from having a space of their own under cries of “misogyny”, while simultaneously fighting to keep their own spaces as women-only.

That isn’t “equality” in any shape or form. That’s gender supremacy.

A perfect example is the Girl Guides of America. Right when the lawsuit against the Boy Scouts had wrapped up and forced them to include girls, the president of the Girl Scouts admitted in private and off the record that she would rather see the entire organization shuttered permanently than allow a single boy admittance.

The same goes for shelters of all kinds, particularly those for Domestic Violence. About 70% of all non-reciprocal DV (only one person doing the hitting) is women beating up men. But of the 2,481 DV shelters in America, only TWO are for men. Nearly all the ones for women are partially to fully publicly funded, but men’s shelters are 100% privately funded because public funding is politically radioactive - the moment any politician tries to support male victims, they get painted as “violently misogynistic” by women’s groups and fail to get re-elected. Most women’s groups also refuse to discuss male victims of DV because to do so is to lead credence to the fact that they even exist.

So yes. Feminism has nothing to do with equality anymore. Feminism is straight-up gender supremacy, full stop.

It’s why I, as someone fighting for true equality, call myself an egalitarianist. I see any man being called “feminist” as nothing more than a pejorative; a mark of anti-equality shame.

38% of people hate their communities, and want everyone but the wealthy to suffer for the crime of being poor.

A fair proportion of our population have been absolutely hoodwinked and brainwashed by the snake-oil promises of conservatism and capitalism, both of which serve only the wealthiest 1%.

Any and all transmission of either 2FA or login links over either SMS or eMail should be made completely illegal. Neither distribution method is secure to any degree.

Similarly, login confirmation or pseudo-2FA through a single vendor-owned app should also be made illegal. People should be able to use the 2FA app of their choice to provide one-time codes.

For the second paragraph, an ideal example would be Telus, a Canadian ISP. The only way to use 2FA is to use THEIR app. Well, what if I don’t want their app on my phone? Too bad, so sad, it’s their only way of providing 2FA. They’ve reinvented security, likely with plenty of flaws and pitfalls that wouldn’t exist with a public 2FA service.

Claiming that men/boys need to be separated because "they can't control themselves"

Where did I say anything even remotely like this? Point it out. Quote it.

But you can’t, because I didn’t.

Quit being intellectually bankrupt - quit putting words into my mouth.

Men’s spaces is what allows men and boys to open up in ways they instinctively and unconsciously prevent themselves from doing when women are around. Males have an autonomic response around women that causes them to be more closed off, more resistant to criticism, and far less likely to demonstrate vulnerability to other men.

Men’s spaces are what allow them to better learn from other men in a space that allows them to better learn more open and accepting.

It has nothing to do with your vacuous and thought-terminating “incel” bullshit.

How noble of you to modulate your bigotry

Imagine being so insecure that you see bigotry where there is absolutely none.

It’s called “personal preference”. You know, that one thing women demand to have respected when they possess it themselves, but who absolutely eviscerate men who show any shred of it.

“Papers, please” - just like Soviet Russia and the other Soviet-bloc countries.

Even up here in Canada, I’m getting similar vibes. Fucking disgusting, it is.

Then it’ll be the Covids for me, especially ravens. And pretty much all of the parrots, especially the African Grey.

Fun fact about owls: they appear to be intelligent with their large eyes and calm(ish) demeanour, but the ironic thing is that those eyes are so large that they don’t leave much room in the owl’s skull for their brain - owls are unusually stupid for their size.

we should just all start fucking robots

That’s… not going to work out like you think it will.

When the subject of men having sex with robots comes up, feminists end up in fits of frothy rage. Ostensibly because “robots cannot give consent”, but that’s a blatantly bullshit answer at every conceivable level.

With all the criticism women give men for treating them as sexual objects, you’d think they would be overjoyed that it’s coming to an actual end. You’d think they would be relieved that it won’t be happening anymore, and that men can now turn to a sex robot for sexual relief.

But scratch beneath the surface - as in, dig deeper to actual motivations - and in many cases it’s because women are losing their status as sexual objects, and are deeply threatened by that loss of power over men.

It’s no different when a man that a woman has absolutely no interest in stops paying attention to her, and stops being a so-called “beta orbiter” -- a fair number of women go nuts and try to destroy his relationship with the new woman, or start a campaign of belittlement and harassment (especially if there is no other woman), calling him an incel and coordinating with her peer group to socially shame him for not paying attention to her anymore. It’s all about the leverage they can extract out of men, and not any actual interest. A man turning away is the loss of a potential or actual source of resources/entertainment/ego. And that just cannot be allowed to happen.

Which is why the single biggest opponent to sex robots are feminists. Especially the “kill all men” ones that lead the movement. They are the ones fighting sex robots with all the fury they can muster, even though men’s trivial access to sex robots will mean far fewer women being pestered or harassed or assaulted or raped.

You’d think a dramatic reduction in harassment, assaults, and rape would be a good thing, but where sex robots for men are concerned, it’s apparently a horrid evil.

I have to praise Stephanie Meyer

Except the Twilight series glorified toxic relationships, normalized abuse and underage grooming, and hit an uncomfortable number of red flags in DSM-5.

Hey nice, journalism with a backbone!

If only more news orgs in America could import that.

But then, it would probably be blocked by TACO tariffs.
