is like a DEI initiative from Trump.

It clearly lays out in detail that this isn't "one-sided". If even cites FEMINIST MANIFESTOS point this out!

... since the beginning. Not sure if they will be able to turn that around, although they are very likely to push for that now.

Sadly.

Frustrated misogynist noisemakers on the web are an outcast minority. And Andrew Tate only gets attention because any useful male rolemodels get denigrated and ignored. A perfect place for a convict provocateur of his ilk.

However, the misandry is mainstream. Bullshit, lies, denigration and pathologization of men and hetero-male priorities has become a public mainstream megatrend.

So much so that bona-fide primetime galion-figure feminists saw the need to write the public "Letter of the 100" in the toxic misandrist wake of the #MeToo fallout to put things into perspective and prevent hatred of men and male eros from spreading. True thing. Look it up. The most important feminist manifesto of the last 2-3 decades actually stepping in for hetero-men (believe it or not) got completely swept under the rug and ignored by mainstream propaganda media. That in itself is quite very telling.

To emphasize: There are actual real avantgarde feminists siding with the point I'm trying to make!

As for my view on women: No problems here, you can believe that. I've seen and met and befriended and loved women from all walks of life. I know their confusions, their sexual frustration, their exhaustion of trying to be superwoman but also their proneness to stupid mainstream propaganda that has them aping men in their fertile prime, burning out for a career at anonymous corporations and setting themselves up for a world of disappointment, loneliness and pain when their biological clock starts ticking louder and they "can't find a decent man" (emphasis on quotes) to start a family yesterday.

Most women I've met are quite fine and are ready to listen to a hetero-male perspective, although many of them can be inconsiderate douchebags ready to wreck havoc on a mans feelings and future. Western media and press however are a different league: man bashing all around.

I for one ain't having any of that anymore. I haven't given up on western society just yet, but I sure as hell ain't parroting this noise just to fit in. Birthrates are plummeting and if the ladies don't wise up and finally get this matriarchy thing going - which entails coming up with a plan on how to manage decent and useful men - then my bets on this entire feminism thing are finally off.

No decent man will participate in, let alone protect a society in which it is acceptable to consider men in general as trash or as oppressors by default. He will also not be part of a society in which male sexuality is criminalised, his desires and priorities belittled or considered inferior to those of those of women. Nor will he be part of a society in which boys are considered little more than disfunctional girls, men little more than disfunctional women.

Unless western mainstream narrative and femnoise opinion-leaders get this little detail into their cute thick little sculls ASAP I don't see any birthrates recovering. And when that happens, some old-school abrahamic revelation cult is going to take over once again, the ladies are going to get chained and shrouded and we're all back to square one.

And I would very much like to avoid that and certainly won't be sticking around when that happens.

... with an 8-digit slashdot ID.

You're going to die alone, without friends and without feeling the loving warmth of a real woman.

Tell us you're an incel without saying you're an incel.

I was an Incel, to the age of 23. Back in the day when this technical term actually meant something and had utility, before effing idiots like contemporary mainstream press and media ... and perhaps you(?) hadn't yet "discovered"/hijacked the term and twisted it into some perverse infantile misandry propaganda combat term as it happened few years back.

Anyway, I was an Incel - which, btw., is and was a perfectly normal thing(!!) for an 80ies computer kid and insecure young male in a post-pill over-sexed and under-fucked society. A fact you perhaps aren't aware of due to lack of experience(?). And I suffered a lot because of it.

Then I met the mother of my daughter and we were together for 16 years.

Then the relationship deteriorated on her end, she had a short affair (that was f*cked up) and by chance and karma a women colleague and friend introduced me to Argentine Tango just at that time that was happening. I was 38 years old by then.

I got hooked on the Tango embrace, the vibe, the electronic tango music that was hip at the time (and still is to a degree), the dancing and the ladies. I went dancing 3-5 times a week and built my life around Tango for the next decade. I got into excellent shape by dancing 20+ hours a week and upped my Tango skills through the effing roof, so much so that the ladies were queueing up to dance with me (seriously).

I came close to and got intimate with women the vast majority of men - including myself only a few years prior - wouldn't even dare to dream of. Mad ecstatic honeymoon love (on both sides), epic pr0nstyle sex, super-orgasms, blowjobs in the hostel shower at the dance-event and lots of heartbreak after being dumped by the top-shelf ladies awash in sexual opportunity when they got bored and the next hot dude was on their radar.

And my metrics for women got completely upended. Women I had a crush on for years on end completely fell of my list and the perfect 10s that fucked and sucked my brains out epic style (and vise versa) completely screwed up my bare-minimum bar for women for all eternity.

2017 was my last high-point in Tango, when I visited Moscow for a summer Tango event. Moskwitshkas dance like no other type of women, they're in excellent shape, usually have years of dance and/or ballet training, have an embrace that's addictive like crack, know how to make a man feel like a man and - the important part - Russia has a severe lack of men due to early death by alcohol (and now perhaps stupid wars). Meaning even the average male leader can feel like a Tango demigod when in Moscow at the time, let alone someone who is Sir Dance-a-lot.

These days I'm single again and take the Tango subculture and it's bonfire of vanities and vanity-wounds with a grain of salt. It made me a man in a way I could have never dreamed of, but at 55 my SMV is past its peak and - as I mentioned - my standards for ladies are forever screwed up. I want an LTR as I have always wanted, but I've also finally gotten picky enough to rather pass than get involved with the wrong lady.

On the infantile denigration of hetero-male Incels

The current western public narrative on hetero-dynamics is awash in toxic misandry, infantile one-dimensional notions of men and such a disconnect from actual reality and what terms such as "Incel" actually mean and where they come from that I've lost all patience when it comes to topics like these. So, yeah, I was an Incel. In the actual original sense of the term. And if you think that's a reason to denigrate or make fun of those 80% of men who barely get a shot at women if at all, you can go and die in a fire for all I care. If you don't, perhaps you want to educate yourself on some basic human evolution.

I've seen both ends and gotten to know them well.
You have seen nothing is the drift I'm catching.

Incel (involuntary celebate) is a gender neutral term. Coined by an incel woman(!). The largest group of Incels are handicapped and/or disfigured people, followed by people with non-hetero-normal sexual orientation, then followed by heterosexual men, the vast overwhelming majority of which aren't misogynists but timid, shy, intimidated by women and/or the mating game and - often as a result - depressed.

To emphasize: Noisemakers on the internet aren't representative of Incels, despite what the misinformed public or some dimwitts on reddit think about the term.

Please stop perpetuating this ill-informed misrepresentation of Incels at large.

Thank you.

AI will no more disruptive than the introduction of office software was. Introducing PCs with word processing, spreadsheets, etc. had a huge effect on office work. The revolution happened over 10-15 years: an office in 1990 was a very different place from 1975. We're at the beginning of the AI revolution: an office in 2035 will be very different from the office of 2020.

The difference this time around is that you have something that is more intelligent than humans and can develop by itself and a logarithmic pace. Going from paper to digital is a huge leap, but taking the human entirely out of the equation is an entirely different beast. That's going to upend jobs and society way more radical than anything before. Some say it's going to be utopia, but that doesn't mean it's not going to be an epic shakeup.

FTFY

To be honest, it doesn't look very planfull what's going on with you guys right now. Given, AFAICT the US could do with some fundamental constitutional housecleaning. Redo elections, public funding only, abolish gerrymandering, less power for the President, multi-party system, coalition governments, no private sector in the penal system, loser pays all for civil lawsuits and a few other details. Not trivial but really not impossible and actually quite easy to fix in a peaceful revolution without a single bullet fired.

However, what President Trump and his crew are doing right now looks a tad chaotic. I'm really not sure where this is headed and I'm doubtful that doing things this way will achieve the desired outcomes.

My 2 Eurocents.

... that it is a roughly 2000 year old book club with a track record of being not too easy on non-members, so there's that. Then it's a book club that - as any other abrahamic fantasy book club- is very good at booking young fertile women into the mother part of life and likewise booking young men into picking a wife and performing well as a father.

Which goes to show that, being a fantasy book club or not, it's a mind-virus that is very good at securing the perpetuation of the species. It comes with a hard and notable evolutionary advantage. Quite impressive for a fantasy book club if you ask me.

... flat-out amateur and unprofessional. This is a perfect example of why, unlike other software, FOSS isn't a serious operational risk and potential epic waste of time, energy and resources.

Some storage provider builds a wicked fast and performant DB thing. It's FOSS and quickly becomes an industry standard. 10+ years in they start dicking around with the license and making people fidgety. A handful of people get fed up, fork the FOSS and everyone migrates. Not a single soul has to fear that their operations are at risk or their skills obsolete. Awesome. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you "FOSS at work" exhibit A.

Redis now has a serious competitor and might just fade into obscurity. Just like that Mambo/Joomla thing some 20 years back or so.

Bottom line: Not using FOSS? I'm not trusting your judgement or your skills.
