Because conditions are getting worse. People are being stretched thin, so they’re looking for a radical change. And the far right is promising radical improvements, even if those promises are full of shit. It also doesn’t help that many leftists have made a sport out of purity testing, pushing away many people who skew left in their political opinions but don’t follow the hive mind.

Imagine unironically thinking that coercing people into a career they don’t want is a good thing.

The article is quite a rollercoaster of not being sure whether to laugh at the absurdity or cry about what things have become.

But the craziest part comes right at the beginning- that it might be the cure to male loneliness. Yup, removing the human connection from sex will definitely solve a loneliness problem…

Reddit had an orphan crushing machine subreddit… Maybe something to revive here?

Yo dawg, I heard you like to hover.

Is this from a video I missed or something?

Glad it helped. I’ll add that a healthcare provider should not be saying that, although I’ve experienced similar things myself, unfortunately.

Kudos to you for doing what you need to do for your mental health. I know it isn’t easy. Don’t let them talk you out of what you need.

EDIT: there was also an interesting quote I saw around here a couple of months ago. If you’re drowning, it doesn’t matter if you’re 10 m or 100 m underwater, you’re still drowning.

It’s wrong because it’s simply irrelevant. Would it change anything about your situation if you did have it worse than everyone else (other than not getting comments like this)? I presume not. You’re still suffering, full stop, and that’s something that should be alleviated.

There will always be someone who has it worse. So the war casualties in Iran allegedly have it worse. First off, do they really? Some might argue that prolonged suffering is worse than a sudden death via a missile. But even without that opinion, there are people who have it worse than the Iran war casualties. You could be stuck in North Korea sentenced to a lifetime of hard labor and have terrible back pain making every hour of that hard labor torture. Does that mean the casualties of the war in Iran aren’t relevant anymore? I’m pretty sure just about everyone would answer no.

Is this really the kind of content we want here? This isn’t crazy in the typical sense of most videos here, it’s just some who (at least to me) seems to be kind of Nazi spewing BS.

The qualitative aspect is also something I was wondering about. I wouldn’t even say that men don’t have intimate friendships. Men can have very intimate relationships, but they’re intimate in a different way. I could also well imagine that men have less of those intimate friendships.

Fully agree that poverty plays a significant role in loneliness, or at least, the analysis adds up in my view. I’ve also found that in many cases where some other societal denominator is mentioned as a reason for people being worse off, poverty plays a significant, often more significant, factor.

What worries me is what is addressed in the first few paragraphs - the way the male loneliness epidemic, real or not, is talked about in an almost mocking tone, and that just being accepted by society at large as normal. I also know that men are much more likely to die by suicide, and the supposed male loneliness epidemic has often been brought into connection with that. If it’s not that, what is it? I mean, I have my guesses, but that’s another story. I just wish the author would have looked at that angle a little closer, because I feel there’s a significant piece of the puzzle missing there somewhere.

You have clearance to land ON YOUR MOM lol

Oh OK. I thought I had missed some news about the uBlock Origin developers coming out as Nazis or something.

What’s wrong with ublock origin?

I don’t know if it’s intentional, but the fan looks kind of like a swastika and I love it.

Add to that, Biden had a speech impediment. That automatically makes things look worse than they are, especially if you don’t know about the speech impediment.

Mind you, I still think he should have stepped away way sooner. Then we could have had a proper primary.

To the surprise of absolutely no one.

I see no way this could possibly go wrong.

I KNEW it! Girls do shit rainbows and rose petals!
