Fr. A male friend of mine got into make up. Nail polish and such. I notice men who do this, stick to safe black. I asked if he wanted more colour, and he did. I remember cracking being a thing back in 2008 or so. A great caviat to go from just black, to black with colour! Perhaps men could bring this back into fashion lol

The young men’s version of a facebook MLM group.

This is a perfect description of the male and female meta. It is why males are stronger. Not to protect or lead, but to control through fear and violence.

It’s a priviledge men developed a higher sensitivity to oxytocin to compensate for a lower expression of the stuff. Enabling men to give a damn about someone other than their desire to dominate. Men can love their partner, their family, friends, their pets because of this.

Chimps ain’t that lucky, and males would rather watch an orphan die from neglect (and eat it) than take care of it. The males are known to kill females for showing assertive behaviour.

Same goes for prolactin in the brain, that makes humans more monogamous and increases a desire to protect something you care about. It never was a male feature before, but it became one in humans. It even peaks after the baby is born and the father is exposed to seeing his baby. Over time, similar adaptations to the brains of pregnant women, are seen in father’s brains. Which is amazing.

Men ain’t that bad, but old habits die hard. Men are more aggressive, stronger, more impulsive and less afraid of consequences on average compared to women. Those who were better at avoiding male aggression, lived longer. Hence why estrogens play a role in stimulating brain development in areas essential to risk assesment, consequence sensitivity, resistance to suicide, thinking ahead, planning, reading emotions (of themselves and others), learning and memory, reducing own aggression, communication and impulse control. Giving women an edge in academical performance despite there not being a statistical difference in intelligence. (Imagine if men had these boons instead…)

While all those obvious “big scary male” traits in men makes them seem like a bigger threat, women are well equipped and know how to dominate and eliminate people indirectly.

Nice to see siamese twin representation.

If anything, it is just nature. We are all related. Every fish swimming in the sea, every herb you add to your food, every bone in the ground. We are all related, and we all follow the same rules. Determined by limited resources.

Agreed. A friend of mine is a veteran, and did something that he regrets every day of his life. Guilt’s been eating the guy. He told some people, and they cut off contact with him. Which he understands and agrees with. He told me too, and yet I can’t blame him for doing something objectively wrong.

Adding to this. HMI’s change across time and what feels logical/intuitive/common sense to one demographic, might not to another.

I agree, but I also fear religious people. Religion has time and time again interfered with people’s autonomy.

It still does to this day. Women in Oman, for example need a man (even if it is their son) to approve of her surgery. A woman needed surgery, but had no male relatives closeby to approve it for her. It was an emergency. Thankfully it was approved, but required a lawyer.

Christianity isn’t any better where I live.

Religion is fine on a personal level, but dangerous for everyone on a larger scale.

I get it though. I love driving cars, busses and trucks. It’s a lot of fun. But the fun isn’t worth the resources it takes to make, maintain and pollute.

Honestly. I wish my country wasn’t sacked by the rich who “wanted to lower taxes” but only ended up decreasing the funding for essential services. Services the poor rely on more than the rich. Healthcare and public education mainly. If we didn’t have vampires at the helm, we’d probably have more taxes going to public services. And heck, I would have loved our country to pay tax for “free” public transport. That would be so much more efficient, safe and affordable for everyone.

Because rn, my LPG chevrolet spark is more affordable than a train subscription. Gonna give my ol car to a family member though. She needs it more. Living in a rural area and needing to travel pretty far for her work. Public transport would be 1.5-2hrs travel while driving is about 45min.

I don’t get why you’re being downvoted. Rural area’s can be a pain to reach. Especially with luggage.

Any tips for learning to control your voice?

Hey that’s Sus! That’s the guy who swam with a makeshift diving gear in Chernobyl!

I think he’d respect the spider enough not to keep it in a pocket. Though Bernie seems popular in the comments too.

Yeah. Same issue here. So how about:

Bob Ross. Carl Sagan. Steve Irwin.

Rip torrent finder. I miss you.

And you bet that forgiveness benefits you the most. It doesn’t. If someone says sorry rarely, never changes, and you are taught to keep being compassionate… you are going to lose your ability to care about people. Better to stay alert, because that person will hurt you again.

I think it more about detail oriented thinking rather than the big picture.

Depends on the screen. I like the dull matte screen on those citroën picassos.

On the contrary. A shit, blood and piss shower correlates with a better immunity. Babies born via c-section are more prone to infections. That shower of vile is our welcome to the world.

This. It’s not a cure at all, but it works for energy levels and peace of mind.
