man-bashing echo chamber

The thing that I find so exhausting about "if the roles were reversed" is that the roles will NEVER truly be reversed. There is too great a difference between a man doing something, his motivations, his capabilities, and a woman doing something with her motivations and capabilities. Fundamentally a woman breaking a restraining order to show up at her ex's wedding will never be the same threat as a man doing the same. Not when women commit only 10-20% of violent crimes and carry guns at half the percentage men do. Not when the average man can overpower the average woman.

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

Close enough welcome back Chekov's gun.

ID: A screenshot of tags left on the tumblr post. They read "#it's actually kind of a reverse Chekhov's Gun #Chekhov's Gun says "If there is setup there must be payoff" #Asimov's Tail says "if there is payoff there must be setup" #and I think the tail is also important #a tail is not something you'd expect to see on a character unless explicitly pointed out #someone stepping on the tail not only reveals its existence but also tells us things about it #eg it's floor length sensitive and the character either can't or won't keep it out of the way of foot traffic #the upshot seems to be "acclimatise your audience to things they don't understand before you use them" #you don't need to explain how a gun on the mantelpiece works in the same way you need to explain how your protagonist's tail does" End ID.

you know I never put it together that he built his platform on draining the swamp and then like went and made a swamp and now refuses to drain it

i like that sokka fights with a boomerang

every day there's a new six million foot data center being fought against in a new place. why the fuck do we need so many. this feels like a pyramid scheme lol. "invest in our data center in order for us to make more software that needs MORE and BIGGER data centers. then you can invest in the software and the bigger data center, and then we can make more software that needs MORE and BIGGERER data centers" like is the earth not the real place to these people. is it the internet and where the digital money is stored? why don't you just live with slow ai meme generators

a not insignificant reason for the trillion dollar valuation of spacex is that they promise to built data centres in space, something which is not even theoretically possible right now, much less practically feasible. but the stock market is still so keen on data centres that they made elon musk a trillionaire for promising data centres in space when they can't put more on earth.

that one post or tweet that was like "stock market is just astrology for men" is probably the most important insight of the 21st century

they're still arguing about surrogacy on twitter
