Time flows too slow until Ursula von der Leyen is in court facing such charges and more.

Appearances are still consistent.

I mean, porn and imagined girlfriends are a problem. A bit like alcohol, sweets, and in general addictive things.

They, eh, allow one to alleviate loneliness and sadness, but not really.

Now fantasy girlfriends are an existential threat to women? If a man wrote about how he has to compete with romance novels and sex toys he would be derided as a fragile loser.

They are a threat to women in that they supposedly make men a bit more likely to become fragile losers. In perception at least, I think in reality such men would become alcoholics or something else instead, or would just develop their imagination.

That too

You are clueless. Stop imagining bullshit for other people, you look like a dramatic hysterical clown. This conversation is not about empathy, it's about your mind not being sufficiently similar to a chimp's mind to understand each other (despite appearances).

Also it wasn't about any woman, it was about genocide, and I've used different words for empathy and mercy, because these are different things in my comment.

If you have this little empathy

Nowhere in this thread I've said anything which would give you a reason for this conclusion.

So you've been caught cheating, fsck off.

EDIT: Ah, and also I've got all the bloody world of empathy, but have recently ran out of mercy for those who don't even pretend at being good people. You have that habit of cheating in common with them.

That's the point, you can't ask them, their intelligence is different.

TBF, many dogs quiver when you try to wash them. They are afraid and that's it. They don't like that much water, and a bath, etc.

This case it's different, of course.

Makes sense. You have to be that to become a tech celebrity among elites, competence and intelligence are not things they respect, it's actually a principal part of their worldview that competence and intelligence are for servants or simpletons, and real apex predator is, well, that kind of hack. They just won't believe that you are really able to achieve something if you are not.

As if humans treated other humans better when they can.

It's not horrible, it's factual. Try changing your diet to include lots of sugar, alcohol and caffeine, and also avoid physical exercise, and you'll feel that even you are a different creature (feeling much worse at that).

And that's same old you. Now macaques are another species.

So basically he feels threatened by an extrapolator? In my opinion that's something a self-respecting author wouldn't do.

Back then pick-up artists were still a major thing, so I learned and then had to unlearn all that bullshit.

Oh. Thank dear god I never tried.

However, things won’t get better if we’re treating young men as poor, helpless victims of society

They are usually victims of their own parents, who may have too differing behavior from what is common average (say, example 1) both asexual and thus treating nonverbal communication as something not very hard or important, and thinking that you'll just learn it, or, example 2) too sexual, like, sorry, one of the parents being an ex-escort and thus their child incorrectly measuring the signals sent, or, example 3) both parents having grown with their mother only or with little attention from their father, thus again not learning the skills of communication for men, one can imagine other examples).

instead of treating them like, you know, men, and telling them to take responsibility for their lives and online habits

Responsibility is fine for most, not knowing what to do is a different matter.

You’re not a victim, because you still have the power to change yourself.

That's a philosophical question. You may have noticed that what you eat and how you exercise physically and what news you hear and what people tell you all affect very much what you think and how. So whether you can consciously change yourself to some intended end is, again, a question.

Yeah, I mean that "bowl of rice and a cat-wife" one ; it's from the same copypaste as "simple worker Ivan from city Tver" and "strong jade rod comrade Xi" (in Russian those are with wrong grammatical genders and declensions, which is lost in translation). It's a joke on how Chinese propaganda of anschlussing Russia would look.

It would be even faster if you'd use a keyboard on a PDA from early zeroes.

Fair.

TIL USSR was capitalist. /s.

No, trying to do more with less is not capitalism. It's material reality.

It's power being the only criterion, which means there's no working fallback criterion. There should be at least one (which is where left libertarians are), or the structure of power should be different (which is where right libertarians are). Neither thing can be made fact to full extent, which is why we need both.

Which is why I am a distributist.

Thank you for having a brain in this thread.

Only it's the mass media system that failed rather. Which works in the way allowing to spend money on forming opinions with predictable outcomes. Which enables much worse things than dangerous customer service.

Interesting, actually, in Russia I've never had that particular problem.

Maybe there actually is some regulation in place, makes me wonder.

I'm joking too
