  • The major finding is that incels are their own worst enemy and need to improve themselves instead of playing a victim

    That’s not sympathy, sadly that’s what I’ve come to expect in this conversation.

    A significant finding in this study was the extent to which incels reported to be NEET (not in education employment or training), lower-educated, or still living with their parents. Roughly 17% of incels (compared to only 9% of non-incels) reported to be NEET. Given the premium that women do indeed place on status, education and economic success when selecting a mate, improving the material-conditions of men’s lives through education, housing and employment, might help them to form romantic relationships, and thus improve their mental wellbeing

    Communities are a spectrum of individuals with different situations. I feel like this comment is putting the cart (result) before the horse (cause) for a significant portion of this particular self identified community. To what extent is the lack of education/employment/training the result of individuals who can’t function (mentally, physically, emotionally) at that level instead of refusing to? To what extent are these individuals excluded from opportunities or help because of their sex?

    Is there a significant different between how society sees lower functioning men vs lower functioning women? I think there is, and I think ignoring it and telling lonely men to boot strap themselves to success is a perilous message for many of the individuals. The large (and largely ignored) numbers of male suicide and homelessness is everything a struggling guy needs to know about how he fits into society.



  • Meh, hate the game, not the player. I’ve spent half a life and my whole career adjacent to MS, my anger about their products and practices has long since turned to cynical acceptance. Yes, they have over stepped the bounds of fairness and good taste many times, but I’ve seen other vendors do so much worse. If you don’t like Microsoft products, advocate for something else. The bottom of the bottle is that Microsoft has a duty to pursue profit for it’s shareholders, and some of that will be ugly. These days there are workable alternatives for everything they sell, which wasn’t always the case.


  • Pretty much this. There is a significant learning curve to kubernetes (or similar, I guess?), but it’s a handy skill to be familiar with. If things basically run but with degraded performance on one raspberry, there is no real need for a vertical performance increase. Adding the second will provide almost double capacity, with some HA added for fun.

    I think there are a lot of “meat is an accent, not the whole dish” recipes out there, from all over the world. Adapting flavors to a more western palette is going to be tricky, but it can be done. So long as they are presented as good recipes instead of “here is a half step step to vegetarianism”, I think people would dig it.

    Without putting too much emphasis on it, showing people how to find fresh veg/fruit/herbs outside of a grocery would be useful, as would some tips on how to buy ethically raised meat/dairy. Having to make trips to different places seems like a chore (and certainly can be), but showing how it can be a pleasant social experience would help a lot to build a larger community of like-minded foodies. Spend local, reduce waste, encourage a local market for superior produce, network with like-minded people, etc…

    I would love to see a show about how to adapt traditional meals to vegetarian or reduced meat dishes, but absolutely not presented by a vegetarian or vegan. Existing presenters can’t seem to stop talking about vegetarianism/veganism. I would appreciate the information, but I can only abide their purity spiral attitudes briefly.


  • Feminism: everything I don’t like is “incel”

    It says so much, so quickly. Feminists judge men by their ability to get sex. Ordinarily they would call this “ableism”, but feminists give themselves a pass on this. It just feels good for them to punch down at low status men, I guess? Feminists say men who can’t get sex are dangerous. Which is convenient because feminists absolutely loathe the low value men they didn’t want to have sex with in the first place. Labelling them as dangerous creates a reason to contain and control them. A perfect feminist circle.

    I’m not involuntarily celibate, but seeing a feminist vomit your misandrist hatred overtly is always a refreshing change from more typical passive aggressive feminist behavior.
