I realize that. But it helps when thinking about the behavior, as what I said is also true. He’s elderly and still a child at the same time.

It’s not really “elderly”. He just never matured from the “child” stage, and those mental states can be pretty similar in some regards.

Where do you think the people with current above average shooting skills started? You think they were just born that way? :D

There are a lot of good points in there, the historical part especially highlights good parts why feminism is necessary.

However, studies show that women simply don’t want to be CEOs at the same rate as men. Women personally want to be more in domestic/caretaking roles than men. Women want to take more maternal leave than men. Now of course you might try to explain these in terms of existing structures that push women to think like that, but how do you explain that women in “more equal”/more feminist societies actually more heavily lean into these differences?

Have you ever thought about the remaining gender pay gap being because women want to work less, thus having less experience, thus being paid less for less experience? There are studies that, when adjusting for these differences, find that the gender pay gap is actually 1% or less. It then stands to argue that the gender pay gap has not changed since the 90s because since then, for all variables adjusted, women already get paid the same as men. (Logically, if women were paid “too little”, in our hyper-capitalistic world, you would see that companies made of women would severely outperform those made of mixed/male workforce, since companies made out of women workers would have severely lower costs. The fact that this is not the case tends to point towards pay being roughly equal. Anecdotally, I personally know 2 women who were unhappy in a “feminism-pushed” leading role and switched to a more classically women-associated work, and becoming more happy as a result of that.)

I love feminism and it is overall a good thing, but the sole problem I have with it is that it wants to eliminate “too much” inequality. Some inequality is desired because men and women are different in some ways. The hormonal mixture is very different, with hormones strongly affecting our behavior. Thus, it is expected that behavior between men and women is different, thus differences should exist. I don’t think the work is done for feminism, but I also think it’s doing too much/the wrong thing in some places. Obviously, there’s also a massive difference between regions in the world, Finland needing feminism much less than idk, Afghanistan.

I think it’s a fundamental failure of feminism/people to make men think that they don’t deserve a voice, even in support of women.

Probably because the poison has “useful” side effects. Or tradition.

You don’t, I’m saying it would still mostly work. Getting messages as they arrive is nice but not necessary. For example, I personally have all notifications off, and I only see messages when I specifically look for them, no one can reach me instantly. Everyone seems to be missing that we’re talking about degradation here, it degrades, it gets worse with JS disabled. But it shouldn’t straight up not work.

A good example for something that does not work without JS would have been a drawing application like they said, or games, there are plenty of things that literally do not work without JS, but messaging is not one of them. Instant messaging would be of course.

The web interface can already be reloaded at any time and has to do all of this. You seem to be missing we’re talking about degradation here, remember the definition of the word, it means it isn’t as good as when JS is enabled. The point is it should still work somehow.

There’s a difference between “wouldn’t work” and “wouldn’t work as nicely”. That’s what this post is about :D Most websites would still work in the same basic way without js.

requiring JS makes sense on some sites, namely those that act more like web apps that let you do stuff (like WhatsApp

I mean yes, but Whatsapp is a bad example. It could easily use no JavaScript. In the end it’s the same as Lemmy or any other forum. You could post a message, get a new page with the message. Switching chats is loading a new page. Of course JavaScript enhances the experience, makes it more fluid, etc, but messengers could work perfectly fine without JavaScript.

There’s been so many grifts, so many bubbles. Societal collapse will happen, but not because of AI is what I’m saying, but by capitalist strategies like infinite growth.

Doom doom doom, doom do doom, doom do doom

So you’re saying that full-time jobs are the problem, not AI?

What if AI took over everything and provided everything for you, so you could focus on doing whatever you want, including art, not needing a full time job anymore?

And what is “a character” in this context? Like a character in a book or what?

HTML/CSS/JS is just a possible frontend technology. It doesn’t really matter if your frontend is written in that or written in Qt or whatever. What matters in the end is that the developers are good ones. If the developers suck, the frontend will suck.

There aren’t many good developers.

… what?

What are picrews, what is a sona, what is “my oc”, what is meant with “my character”?

It’s a bit ridiculous to me why you’d think that we’d be the last humans to exist. Habitable zones will keep existing after climate change kills 99% of the population. Even full-scale nuclear war will leave most dead, but not all.

The remainder will probably keep reproducing and survive. Even 0.001% of our current population would likely mean humanity would continue.

What else do you think would make humanity 100% extinct?

What I mean with “you’re not the only one” is that you’ll be (probably easily) able to find people that are good for you. Didn’t mean to put light on the fact it’s a societal issue; might be, might not be, but it’s irrelevant. Just meant to say that enough good people are out there.

If you’re like what you say you are, “staying with people in the hopes they might change for the better”, what I’ve noticed in my time on Earth is that “people like you” actually do find these problematic people specifically and spend their time with them. You want to improve the world and that means the people within them, and so you think your time is well spent like this.

However, this is unfortunately almost totally wrong. Instead of achieving your goal, the problematic people just mostly stay like they are, and because of that all that happens is that you become miserable because you don’t see any improvement, and don’t have any meaningful relationships.

If I may suggest an alternative, what I’ve found is that you actually have to find people that are already mostly good and have a proven track record of improving themselves. These are mostly good people. They have no big problems and no toxic behaviors. I assume you are such a person. So in other words, you have to find someone like you. If you do that, you can both improve together and help each other, instead of this one-sided thing you probably mostly had going on.

And yeah, like you said, “not setting yourself on fire to keep others warm”, this means you have to stop spending time with the people that just drain you, even though it may sometimes be painful.

Anyway, hope you have a wonderful time, because this is actually all really fun once you prioritize your own happiness while dealing with others :D

See how many people here share your troubles? There’s no shortage of people like you. The thing is, like you say, you have to stop putting up with people’s bullshit. When you notice bullshit, confront them with it, and if there’s no way of reconciliation, move on immediately, don’t try to “put up” with anything. From what you said it seems like you hold on to toxic people too long.

Also, have you ever thought about that you might also have “BS” that other people would have to deal with when they want to create a deep connection with you? Do you think that’s absolutely impossible?
