No that’s fair, I don’t want you to feel like I’m saying you’re acting in bad faith because I absolutely do not believe that.

Some commentators were even publishing absolutely ridiculous cope to explain why the polls were 50/50. The media was working overtime to stick their heads in the sand for some reason.

I appreciate your otherwise quality comment but I have to say that I don’t intend to use a space that only views men’s issues through a feminist lens.

On Reddit, LeftWingMaleAdvocates is a solid lefty men’s space.

I have to believe there are more reasonable people out there on the left than not

There are, but online is where the psychopathic man haters feel free to let their colors fly. At union conventions and community meets, I only ever hear tame comments from the very obvious radfems.

This entire comment is exactly the kind of lack of empathy that the gentleman was talking about.

Primarily among other men.

The worst I ever got for showing emotions in front of other men was being called sensitive. Women on the other hand dismissed me with fury, insulting my manhood and even hitting me.

They climb the social ladder by proving their tolerance for abuse by those above, while exhibiting a sufficient capacity for sadism on those below.

Where did you learn this fucking nonsense, gender studies?

The Patriarchy

Interesting name for it given how many men will tell you it is women upholding men’s gender roles. Men are still expected to pay for dates, to be able to support families, to have a home and a car before they’re even worth attempting to date…

I mean yes but it’s more than just feelings and hateful people on Twitter:

• the death of many careers that men primarily occupied without any plan to deal with it
• the changing of education into a format that doesn’t work well for men
• systematic sexism that is denying men opportunities in education and work that started as benevolence towards women, but when younger women started to displace men and make more money than them, feminists applauded it and demanded even more for the sake of revenge

And when you talk about this as a man you get exactly the kind of replies I got, or worse. This is how you drive men right.

I’m honestly tired of women bailing us out in these elections though, so I cannot imagine what it’s like for them to have to keep doing it.

That said, when men were losing their jobs they got told “learn to code” by callous and shitty journalists and women’s rights activists. It’s not hard to see why men are abandoning liberal governments that blame them for everything even while they are experiencing statistically worse outcomes with each successive generation.

The solution is so simple that you have to be abandoning it on purpose: promise men educations and to help them get employed, and you’ll get all the support you need.

Forget the porn, it’s the absolute insanity of forcing (and allowing) all these different web services to get and maintain our identities. Huge privacy breach from people preaching that government overreach is bad… This hypocrisy gets old fast.

The only good thing I’ve seen him say is that there should be more competition in the telecommunications market

The Conservatives didn’t do anything last time about this despite it being a big discussion point, and they had years of majority to do it. I don’t see them changing tack since they don’t seem too bothered by any of Canada’s other oligarchs.

All that said, the Liberals barely took a step forward on this either, right before taking a huge step back allowing Rogers and Shaw to merge. These damned neoliberals just refuse to help anyone.

You have super strength. You attempt to lift an incredibly heavy object and… You push your legs into the ground instead. That’s not just some guy, but it is a lot less useful of a power lol

when they pick it up like it’s a club

It’s in the nature of males to seek control over female reproduction

Go down to the section titled “Views on abortion by gender, 2024” https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/

You don’t tell the fucking UN to evacuate because you want to attack someone.

100%, I can’t even imagine the pull GW would have if they entered the 3D printing space. They can’t even get out of their own way to make money, they’re idiots.

That company has this amazing ability to suck the fun out of even the most interesting things. Their greed is honestly shocking, even Wizards of the Coast isn’t that bad with Magic: The Gathering and no one thinks of MTG as having a fair or reasonable cost of entry.

My friend got himself a resin printer for much less than the cost of an army and started making and painting his own figurines. He’s having a great time.

Lowering the string height on my guitar made it so much nicer to play. Didn’t need to spend thousands, just needed a little work.

I don’t typically see people advocate for the cheapest gear, just not to go all-in. There is something to be said for how much you can learn from stuff that requires a bit more tuning or customization.

In airsoft we had people who didn’t even know there were other options show up with $40 clear plastic guns from Walmart (they’re awful) and guys with $2000 air-powered guns from the best brands show up all the time, and both of these people sucked. Typically, they both also had a bad time, because neither could realistically learn anything from their guns considering they were already as good as they were ever going to be.

My advice was always to start with a low-mid range electric rifle that can take a high-capacity magazine. Having like 400+ shots in a match is more than enough. Pick a design that is easy to get parts and accessories for so you can build on it. Someday you grow out of it and then you drop the real money on an airsoft rifle, but you can run a good starter rifle for a long time. I only replaced mine because it catastrophically broke after years of rough play: I learned a lot from modifying it and it made my next gun choice much more educated that I ever could have managed as a newbie.

Saw “buyhard” in this thread and it is 100% going to replace whale and wallet warrior for me lol.

Whales is the industry term in gaming lol. I do like buyhard though.

Here in Canada I’ve seen much the same behaviour for both Liberal and Conservative voters. “I vote Liberal because I’ve always voted Liberal” is a surprisingly common statement especially among the older generations, and to a small extent even the Green party has a few loyalists in BC.

Always voting the same way no matter what happens is just giving your vote away for free.
