People have less sex overall. I dont think that dating apps necessarily increased the numbers.

I guess on the one hand people are anxious about Trumps inaugeration and on the other hand this is a great opportunity for competitors or otherwise opposed people to launch an astroturfing campaign off of it.

When looking at posts titled has gone “full MAGA” for saying they feel Trump is more likely to enact antitrust rules against big tech than Democrats who let them down the past years, is just absurd.

It is the same line of reasoning like claiming the WHO to have been a chinese asset because they supported some of Chinas anti-Covid measures.

If you think Trump covers “nearly every horrible thing in our world”, what do you say about the world from since you can remember until 2017 and again from 2021 till now?

Also funny that he talks about the price depreciation, while complaining about not being able to sell it. How do you want to sell a buyer on “this will depreciate quickly in price, but please pay a price notably above current market prices”

Just take a bulldozer and push it on the street. Still drives as reliable as before.

There is plenty of women who uphold these toxic ideas and reinforce these structures too.

It is wrong to consider “patriarchy” or any other social construct to be the sole responsibility of any one gender, and as long as we are in the blame-game stage, like @Tobberone@lemm.ee still seems to be, it will slow us down.

However i find it important to understand where this could come from. E.g. women, in particular mothers, who have been reinforcing toxic masculinity or femininity could be perceived as the major source for individuals because their mother has been the one reinforcing it. For other people it would be the father or other male figures in their lives, so they consider it to come exclusively from men.

Anectodtically my perception is that there is a problem with showing emotions in front of others in general in western societies, that is reinforcing toxic masculinity, but transcendents “patriarchy” as an issue, as many societies considered more patriarchal allow display of emotions both for women and men more freely.

So much this. In my country my parents generation could afford buying a house on two middle class incomes when they were end of 20s early 30s. In my generation that is only possible with generational wealth.

Marilyn Manson and Eminem are the real culprits here.

Ahh, i’ve got a pebble in my boots

I just had this sent by a friend and found it funny. But for the Healthcare CEO killed media and corpos love to play the “family father” angle.

I agree. KDE out of the box just looks solid and works. Especially when i came from Windows it was nice to know where basic functions are, and then slowly learn the cool stuff. But generally i like things to just be tidy and “bland” in the sense of not customized crazily.
