I could have been clearer - it kind of has to be read in context of how I personally interpreted the original post. So no worries at all obviously. :)

I am not talking about people enjoying things that I don’t personally enjoy, I was talking about an instinct that men (allegedly) have to share quote disgusting stuff with each other.

This post doesn’t seem to me to be about sharing a weird common interest with your friends. There’s nothing (inherently) toxic nor gendered about having weird hobbies.

The post is about seeing something disgusting and immediately sharing it with all your friends who will also be disgusted, and portrays this as if it’s just a completely normal thing for men to do. And while I can kind of understand where the assumption that men behave like that comes from, I have never experienced anything like that with any of my friends, and I’m pretty sure I never will. So it seems like a bit of a misrepresentation.

There’s so many weird societal constructs about how men are supposed to behave. I have never encountered any of that shit with my friends, but that’s probably partly due to a selection process where I have no interest befriending people who display toxic masculinity traits.

If you genuinely think men obsess over disgusting shit and talk about who they want to fuck all the time, maybe take a moment to reconsider a) who you’re hanging out with or b) the cultural impulses you allow to shape your perception of the world.

I think the main reason men act this way is that they’re trying to fit into an image of masculinity that has been imposed on them, in part through tweets such as this one.

Yeah, happens to me all the time as well. People specifically ask me not to commit acts of genocide in a specific population, and I just accidentally bomb them anyway a few hours later.

It’s truly tragic, but there’s really nothing I can do about it, and I honestly wish people would stop bitching about it.

Yeah, the zoomers I know who make an effort with regards to fashion all dress in a very fun way. I dig it.

If I’m upset by it it’s just because young people are not wearing the same clothes as me and more, implying that I’m getting old. It stings a little.

Also Telegram is growing shadier day by day. Signal is the way to go.

Thanks! Thank god Twitter is so dead set on killing itself it doesn’t even need people or companies to make even the simplest moral decisions to leave it.

Not that there’s any chance of it happening, but this would be an ideal use of the shared Mastodon/Pixelfed API. All the social media functionality, none of the being associated with any particular service provider.

One difference being that Twitter is not (technically) dead - Nintendo Is removing support for a service that continues to exist, presumably because they don’t want to be associated with it.

Honestly, I think this might be on to something. RFK jr was not always a lunatic - before he went insane he did some truly great things in his career. He then gradually made a turn for the worse, ending up as the mentally insane candidate we know today. It honestly explains his political platform pretty well.

It also reminds me of that great infowars interview with a Sanders supporter (correctly?) observing that they have worms in their brains.

Is Linux Mint well adapted for touch screens?

I think I would go for GNOME if I were to use Linux with a touch screen. Then again, I’m using it anyway, so I’m probably biased.

As a leftist, I find them annoying because they make me look like an idiot by association.

50/50 leftists and Russian troll farms or worse, by any charitable outside evaluation.

If you don’t have any luck dumpster diving it might be worth checking if any of your local supermarkets (or even bakeries) are using Too Good to Go. They decide how much to put in the package, but a generous place will give you a bunch of food for very little money.

A worthy cause - keep it up!

Full beards are great. I can go a week without any maintenance and still look presentable. Any other style of facial hair is just too much effort.

I think zoomers are young enough not to have the generational memory of how creepy mustaches are, so suddenly they’re cool again. I’m afraid it’ll last until the zoomers are old enough to be the creepy ones.

And make damn sure it’s an underground railroad. It’s far too risky to put them on a plane.

This one is amazing. The expressions, the attention to detail, the colours, the typography. And relatable as hell of course. Thanks for sharing!

Sure, it’s as Italian as a big mac and sauerkraut.
