Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @GLObalMARinePR These people think that "knowing the facts" means just accepting what the government and media says to be 100 percent true. Never will they look at any raw data or footage themselves without some propagandist first spoon feeding them what they should think about it.
That is, if he is not just a shill or bot trying to deflect from the fact that our government is full of lying shitbags.
@Humpleupagus @LouisConde First, they only hold right wingers accountable, even if they are fabricating all the supposed wrongdoings. Their side gets a pass every time, because they are on the same team. They like to laud themselves as being a very important and critical institution, but frankly the world would be a better place without them.
Also, fuck NPR.
@sj_zero Few if any voters want both more taxes and less spending, so there is not much political will there. And as for politicians, it usually is easier for them to kick the can down the road rather than actually solve problems. Such politicians get remembered fondly while they make things worse for future generations.
Very few people are willing to make sacrifices, so someone else is going to pay. The only question is when that payment time comes.
@WashedOutGundamPilot This woman should not be worrying about men not wanting to approach her. Instead, she should already have been married and had children rather descend into the realm of spinsterhood. How many more women have to follow this path to unhappiness until they realize that they really should capitalize on their 20s to find a good husband to have a family with?
More and more women will serve as warnings so long as they pursue the "carefree" lifestyle in their 20s.
@Tfmonkey @VeganBob @37712 Slow Riden. That could be a good rap name.
I know you are not wrong, but it is just so strange to see you state so matter of factly that Russia is definitively winning, given the full court press of media propaganda saying otherwise. Yes, I know they are full of shit, but I am so used to their gas lighting attempts that I just come to expect anything I hear about Russia being that they are doing so poorly.
Also, looked up the ruble stats, and yep, stronger than ever.
@furgar Somebody screwed up along the way of this project. Did they do any market research? Or see how there were already existing products, such as VR chat?
Not only that, but the product was never that good and appealing in the first place.
@WashedOutGundamPilot at least half of these are not real problems or are in fact good traits. There is nothing wrong with a man having distaste for prostitution, not being a faggot by not putting in pronouns, or liking sports and exercise. Such "red flags" are really her red flags for seeing these things as problems.

Remember that when skanks say “ugh men are __“ these are the guys they’re dating. Don’t take it personally.
@Tfmonkey @blitzdriver Tangent to this topic, I have noticed one odd similarity with German and Indian accents in how they pronounce words with W's. They both pronounce them with a V, or at least a good chunk of Indians do (there are quite a bit of languages in India besides Hindi). Maybe they saw other similarities and thought there was something to it, but I don't know how much of that is coincidental or not.
@deprecated_ii "Their sources of propaganda are bad. My sources of propaganda are good, because I was told that they were trustworthy by the people who are ideologically aligned with those who are in charge of the news. Why are the Russians not sheep like me?"

@WashedOutGundamPilot If you like this, then you might enjoy a paper named: Trains, Plains, and Plantains: the story of Oedipus

@sj_zero It actually would be transitory, unlike the inflation. But only because we will all be too dead to be able to launch any more nukes.
@TinyFern @ArdainianRight @Tfmonkey @WashedOutGundamPilot >A man who doesn't invest the time and effort into acquiring high status education and employment is also demonstrating low time preference, no?
No. That is not the same thing. That is a narrow definition for what a man needs to do to be a good husband and father. Yes, he should not be shiftless and lazy, but having a "high status" occupation is not as critical or fully indicative of a man's character as you are making it out to be.
@Fender @WashedOutGundamPilot
>They are disturbed that men would think this is what a girlfriend amounts to.
For many women, this is all they really can offer. So many of them have abandoned being feminine and have no practical skills that would make for a competent wife and mother. Men see this and respond by giving up the idea of a marriage and family. Yes, many men will choose the hedonism route as well as a response, but that is one form of adaptation to the changes in society.
@TinyFern @ArdainianRight @Tfmonkey @WashedOutGundamPilot a fat woman with tattoos indicates poor impulse control and a low time preference, both of which are reflective of her character. So the comparison is not the same. Men like me are also not a fan of the "single-digit body count." If I am to believe that.

In my view, there was a period around 2006 where "pick up artists" were sort of becoming a thing, and by about 2008 every piece of establishment media smashed that idea down as bad and evil and skeezy. It was shortly after that when "incels" started to really start to pick up.
I know the pick-up artists aren't the most popular folks around, but their whole core conceit is that you can be a better man, you can change yourself to become more attractive, you can carry yourself different, and you can speak different, and you can think about the world different and eventually you'll be the sort of man who can attract the sort of woman you want to be with long-term. For most men, that's when their pick-up artist story ends, because you don't need it anymore. That even happened to the author of the infamous book "The Game".
If you crush that idea, then what's left? Well, if it isn't just a skill set, if you can't become better then it's just fate for you to be worse. You're not alone because you're not doing the right things, you're alone because God created you in the image of inferiority and your inherent inferiority is a cross for you to bear alone until death, then of course those people are going to be bitter and resentful towards the chads who were granted the gift of superiority by God, and the Stacies who were granted the gift of discernment between the inferior and the superior by God.
There's a pathology, but it isn't necessarily in disaffected young men. It's a societal pathology where they've told a group of people they're worthless and that it's morally evil to try to become less worthless, and anyone who tries to help you become less worthless is morally evil themselves.
Then we have all these women who would be perfectly happy with these men who are often just missing one or two ideas towards becoming really good men, and they can't find any men at all because we've ground the men down into paste so they won't even try a little anymore. So now you have unhappy lonely men and unhappy lonely women and somehow this is supposed to be a good thing.
A lot of people talk about dating websites and how 1% of the men get 90% of the female attention. This is often mentioned as a talking point about how terrible dating sites are for the 99% of men, but really it should be about how it's terrible for everyone. That top 1% of men with unlimited choice aren't as happy as you'd think, the 90% of women chasing the 1% of men who get unlimited choice aren't happy, and of course the 99% of men who don't get any attention aren't happy.
tl;dr: The world would be better off if we stopped telling men they can't and shouldn't try being better than they are. It's false, it leads to harmful outcomes, it isn't better for women, it isn't even good for the gigachads.
