  • i get what you’re trying to say, but maybe the poster was trying to be inclusive. being attracted to feminine people regardless of genitalia is not what most bigots would consider normal. my answer to the question “is it normal to be attracted to x” is “yes”, provided that x is a human person old enough to consent. in my opinion, it is also normal to not be attracted to anything. i am using normal in the value-judgement sense, not in the statistical sense.


  • I don’t currently hate my job, but i used to hate it. That is point 1: sometimes things get better. Point 2 is that i used to write down all the things i hated about my job. This did not help. Instead i started making lists of things that were good about my job. It was a short list for a while, and sometimes the items were pretty weak (e.g. nice water fountain). seems silly, but doing this put my brain in the mode of looking for a positive. it actually helped get me through some tough days. Point 3 is to work on anything you can find that makes it more tolerable: bring a nice lunch, keep snacks available, use your vacation time (if available). self care was huge - i hated my job every day, but on days when i was tired, it was excruciating. on days when i was rested, it was merely annoying.















  • Life is hard and confusing. Many people are frustrated with the way that the social landscape has changed: relationships, jobs, and economic prospects have all shifted for the worse in developed countries. Young people are the most affected. Every time this happens, a con artist comes along and starts offering easy answers. Sometimes it’s a politician, sometimes it’s a religious leader. Nowadays, it’s often an influencer.

    Tate tells men, “it’s not your fault that your life sucks,” and he is right (to a point). After all, people who don’t own houses can’t be blamed for the state of the housing market, right? So who is to blame? According to Trump, it’s brown people. According to RFK Jr., it’s vaccines or food colouring or some shit. According to Tate, it’s women. He tells young men that feminism is surely the reason they are unhappy: the Woke Left is trying to emasculate you! Be an alpha! Follow my simple formula for abusing women and accumulating money and your problems will go away.

    Unfortunately, there are no easy answers. This is not a truth that all people can accept. We can fix some of the problems that we are facing, but it will take time, effort, and cooperation. In the meantime, many men are comforted by Tate’s message: women are the reason you are unhappy, and everything can be fixed by returning them to bondage! If you are very young (or just a little stunted), this message is much more palatable than the admittedly challenging option of actually fixing things.



  • No forgiveness for Musk, Tesla or its investors. If anyone in my family buys a car, a battery, a robot, a solar panel, or a stick of gum from Tesla I will never speak to them again. Investors could have gotten out when it became clear that Musk was a Nazi. They would have made a lot of money. Anyone who stayed with the company while the stock was over $400 and that piece of shit was throwing Nazi salutes deserves to lose every penny they invested. I will never walk past a Tesla without spitting on it.
