  • I have the suspicion it's not even about shareholder profits, it's use dumb/useless metrics of success.

    It's the equivalent of measuring a programmer's productive output in number of lines of code written. It leads to code like this:

    Something similar happens with storage space: It is wasted unnecessarily because media designers are paid for "high definition" assets.

  • I really like efficient code, and that includes memory and storage-efficiency.

    Luanti, where i run a server rn, uses less than 1 GB of storage space for a huge world, and i think the whole program code for all of mineclonia+the core luanti engine only uses sth like 30 MB. it's really storage-efficient.

  • The article claims there is a correlation between gender gap and high-pitched voices, but it does not imply causation.

    Also it's simply not true. There's lots of countries where gender inequality is significantly higher than in Japan (look at any african country basically, or Muslim countries), yet women there don't speak with such a high-pitched voice, IMO.

    Apart from that, the article gives me serious "beauty is oppression, and flirting is rape" vibes. Like the kind of messaging that is typically provided by nowadays "feminist" outlets who do in fact not focus on the social and socio-economic goal of improving the position of women in society as we/they are (fair-ness or true equality), but instead tries to focus on same-ness and abandoning that women dress pretty because oh no, she does that because she's pressured by men in a patriarchic society to do so.

  • I avoid approaching women in public because I believe it's inappropriate. My parents say that it's a necessary skill. Who is right?

  • i'm not particular what you would call a normal guy and i have a lot of edgy views, but my take on this is simply that the main and by far number one reason why you're not supposed to talk to women nowadays is because social media has instilled an outright fear of men in women.

    you see, women are naturally very intelligent and pick up signals, even small ones, fast. if they see a hundred social media posts a day, and even one of them says something like "men are bad, keep away from them", they will take the warning very seriously, even though there might be not much of a good reasoning behind it. maybe whoever wrote that social media post was only a crazy christian and was saying it because she was worried about staying "pure". there are unfortunately christian people out there who think that "morale" and stuff like "staying pure [from men flirting with women]" are more important than understanding the social needs of the people. such is religion. over the internet it spreads like crazy. that's why the women are all afraid of men. to which i respond with this meme:

    (which means as much as: the fear is artificial and instilled; look at the actual predators. it is the rich)

    My advice for you is: stay careful, as there are crazy "feminists" out there, who are only looking for a "catch". For example, they want to test their "critique" on someone, and try to hurt you simply because they're looking for a fight. but also, you must understand that only your heart will carry you forward, so you must listen to it. it is a difficult path to walk, but maybe you can try it.

  • On Sexual Desire and Feminine Envy

    Jump

  • maybe envy and sexual attraction are one and the same.

    moving into somebody or moving into the way of being of somebody else might just be abstractions or imaginations of each other.

  • very interesting topic.

    i agree that knowledge is like a virus. it consists mostly of information, and requires a host to be spread.

    apart from that, knowledge is typically considered a good thing, no?

    at least in our current, modern understanding.

  • that would be if we were in the struggle voluntarily. most are not, though

  • [Venting] What kind of dumbasses think we pretend to be trans??

    Jump

  • The same kind of dumbass who pretends to be cis, and hetero. It's projection. They're so used to "pretending", they can't imagine it could be any other way.

  • On being accepted by cis girls

    Jump

  • ofc i also read some other wild conspiracy theories, like:

    noble men in the medieval ages had a higher chance of being trans/fem because: they had to entertain diplomatic missions, and "diplomacy is made in the sheets", which means, a higher tendency to go to bed with others will make them more attractive as somebody to make alliances with. but since they also had to organize some stuff (bureaucracy and stuff) that created a natural correlation between neurospicy and gender queer.

  • On being accepted by cis girls

    Jump

  • either it's about transistors being trans-isters or sth

    or - as i believe - it is because IT guys tend to have fewer muscles which makes them naturally a bit more girly, so the tendency is higher
