Yeah. Last time I checked I couldn’t get paid much to go hiking in the woods.

Maaaaybe if I wanted to be a park ranger or firewatcher (is that real?) but from my knowledge those pay dick.

Caveman absolutely proud of you. Hunter-gatherer lifestyle was closer to how most animals live: most of their lives are spent resting. Periods of hunting take up a lot of energy and most animals spend most of the waking hours conserving energy. Humans weren’t that much of an exception.

A descendant who rests the majority of their lives is living the dream. Especially when pretty much all prehistory threats are eliminated: predators, neighboring tribes killing you (for most of us anyways…), starvation, prevalent disease, infant mortality, extreme seasons, etc.

Contrast that to the founding father’s age in America: those rich assholes hated and feared the working class. They had incredible animosity directed at any non-owner class people. They even created a nation and had the gall to say “every man is created equal” and then most states denied voting rights to non-landowners, non-men, non-white people, and often based on age and religion. It could be as low when the Constitution was ratified as 20-25%. So it’s safe to say the white-haired ancestor would find the average person’s lack of hard work and life of some leisure a good thing, in general those asshats were closer to modern billionaires.

for products already captured if you need them.

Corps figured out sustained income was better than marketing and making products. All they had to do was take away every digital product and turn it into a subscription.

Then they’ll buy each other up until they are an effective monopoly and raise prices forever.

I don’t see a way out of this for products already captured if you need them.

I mean who doesn’t have a gay room these days?

My coworker once when I asked him a hard question: “Don’t make me lie to you.”

I still think of that a lot and try to work it in when someone asks me an impossible question.

Wonder if a parent company could own them both.

Pornhub should buy a VPN service. Just cut out the middle man.

Well you got that 1% chance about 4 times by sheer luck I don’t know what to tell you but you’re Supergirl, now. Congrats?

but what happens if Cara get’s sold and the new company decides to change it

Same thing that happens if a federated instance goes bad: you leave?

Bowsette, actually.

I was hoping so but a Google didn’t find anything.

Rad.

Why does it say “earth trines”?

Compliments and repeating what they say back to them while asking questions, I’ve found.

Also, don’t call me honey. It’s really degrading, id expect better from someone like you.

Whoosh

Does it fall to the good guys, though? The ones who already don’t rape and stand up to their peers who have toxic ideas?

Yes, precisely. If the majority of men don’t change the culture by standing up for women and against low-key misogyny that’s everywhere then nothing will change and they aren’t really “good guys”.

And, really, are you reaching anyone who needs to hear it with rhetoric like this?

Dunno. But there’s certainly a LOT of misogynists on Lemmy and I’m going to keep pushing back against them. They probably think they’re feminists, too. Quoting bear statistics, saying “not all men”, equivocating gender and race relations, telling women to “tone down” their complains so they don’t alienate rapists and potential rapists.

Sure, not all men, but quite frankly I’m tired of having to be “one of the good ones”.

Lol, don’t fret. With an attitude like that, you aren’t.

black people

We aren’t talking about race, honey. If they think you can just swap labels you REALLY don’t understand what’s going on. No surprise.

Exactly. Self sufficiency is definitely a myth. Humans cannot survive alone for long. You simply cannot make tools that will keep you alive for long. You’ll have to venture back to civilization to get anything worked via metal at the very least. Just the basic crafts for clothing, shelter, tools and food is more than any one person can handle. It took whole tribes and villages even at the earliest points.

Now if you mean: how can I live in a cabin off the grid with minimal contact (1-2x a year) then that’s doable.

It’s not on women to soften their complaints of rape and harassment to try to prevent men from becoming incels and Nazis.

For Fucks Sake

Men can deal with the very mild discomfort of being occasionally reminded women have to always be vigilant.

Agreed and well said. It’s very disheartening. For me it’s just another example of how pervasive and ingrained the patriarchy and misogyny is.

Same arguments, still wrong. Fuck off misogynist.
