It’s pop-rap…
Chris Brown is still famous and he almost killed Rhianna
She’ll lose some streams but they don’t make money off that, ticket sales probably won’t move.

I think you’re oversimplifying when the social consequences for being seen as weak or effeminate have (even in recent history) been so harsh for men and boys
I grew up on a farm and worked construction, played sports thru college, then joined the military. Raised by and around other men who make my life seem like a cakewalk.
Every stereotypically “manly” group I’ve been apart of, dudes are all emotionally open because they’re secure in their masculinity.
When boys/men think they’re acting “tough” by suppressing their emotions, they’re not copying men who are actually tough, they’re copying other people’s false bravado.
That’s the entire point of what I’m saying.
All the posturing only impresses other people that are posturing.
the abusive structure
And literally anyone can stop buying into it at anytime…
If they don’t, they’re perpetrating it.
It’s the easiest thing in the world to stop caring what douchebags think is “manly” and that’s literally all it takes to fix this


I mean, we’re talking about the population susceptible to it in the first place.
All they have to do is stop being weird about it, but they’ll never do it because they’re obsessed with not seeming weird.
It’s fucking insane that you think it’s on the rest of society to spend decades “conditioning” them to quit it with the toxic masculinity. When all they have to do, is stop doing what isn’t working and no one is impressed by.
That’s the most ironic thing about it. All they have to do is stop pretending they’re tough, but they’re not tough enough to do it.


The weirdest thing is all that needs to happen is for men to talk about their feelings, doesn’t even have to be another man.
That’s it.
But so many men just won’t fucking do it.
So it’s literally one of the only problems that can actually be solved by raising awareness.


Oh…
So I was right, you can use a search engine, you’re just JAQing off…
That article says he’s not because… They actually don’t give a reason, just call the idea stupid.
Check out their other articles:
https://www.theatlantic.com/author/graeme-wood/
They’re pro-israel, worried about the “plight” of white south Africans, and call Kirk getting shot “one of the worst moments in American history”…
But they agree with you, that’s all that matters, right?
Otherwise you’d have linked something that shows evidence, instead of just calling it “stupid”.
But I’m sure as shit never wasting time on you JAQing off again


Yes, you did
And if you ask someone else politely they might even take the two seconds to type it into a search engine for you.
Best of luck!


You do realize that if you click the headline it takes you to an actual article with more details?
Like, you could have read the article and gotten answers to your questions instead of typing out all those assumptions and hoping someone answers.
And I would copy/paste most of the time, but really people need to just learn to read the fucking articles.


Not as violent or extreme as the groypers who killed him for not being violent and extreme enough tho…


restaurant called Sei Less.
Lol


So it’s my fault other people were wrong before, and because they were wrong, that can never be true?
Like, Martin has a decade long track record running DFL in Minnesota, you don’t need to take anyone’s word. And he’s been running the party for 9 months now…
Have you not looked into any of that?
Or is the difficulty putting it together? Because from what you just said this is a flaw of critical thinking, and that’s not something anyone can fix in a couple of social media comments.
But “logic” is an actual field of study, you can take classes in college on it. And there are free resources as well. It would be best for you to start there, because while politics is important, your flawed critical thinking is most likely negatively effecting large portions of your life at every turn.


It’s not fear…
It’s logical risk management.
And I’ve been saying for a while it’s past the point of a handgun for personal defense. Plated vests and rifles need to be the minimum.
This ain’t as bad as it can get, and there is zero reason to think shits gonna get better before it stops getting worse.


Buddy…
No one is debating if Biden was a good president, the vast majority of people have reconciled that he was a piece of shit that wasn’t mentally capable to take care of himself let alone run a country.
But:
and that is how we got here
Is obviously and clearly wrong, because the president before Biden was fucking trump.
And if you’re just talking about pardons being an issue, that’s been an issue long before trump.
The problem is a lot bigger than Biden or trump.
why not just get rid of both parties and start over?
Because for the first time in ~50 years we got a DNC that isn’t going to put it’s finger on the scale.
This is literally the worst time to “get rid of” the party system. 8-16 years from now? Sure I hope a lot of shit has changed. But giving up on the party now would just mean republicans win and the DNC voting members may seat a neoliberal as chair again.
You’re arguing that after running 26 miles we should give up on finishing the marathon, two blocks from the finish line.
What you’re arguing for is just illogical, you’re either ignorant of a lot of shit that’s pretty basic, or lack the critical thinking to put it all.together.
But regardless of the reason, you’re giving the worst advice possible


just business as usual
There’s nothing wrong with saying both parties do fucked up shit.
But your using past fucked up things to justify current fucked up things.
The correct conclusion to “both sides do fucked up shit” is to try and get at least one to stop, not to get people to stop caring when anything fucked up happened.
The pardon system is being abused and has been abused, that means “fix it” not “stop caring”


It started out as Romney care, then republicans and “moderates” pulled it significantly to the right …
So now Mitts original plan would be more progressive than “Obamacare”…
I feel like I’m saying the same thing twice, but I’m not sure how to say this any simpler.
Are you still confused?


Six-figure earners “are concentrated in the largest and most expensive metropolitan areas in the United States, where the living costs are higher,” Adams said.
That and student loans are a big part of it.
To make 100k you likely have a bunch of student loans and need to live in an expensive area.
There’s way too much variation in America to act like numbers mean the same anywhere.
The more people unite against billionaires, the more we’re going to see rage bait where the goal is to draw the line anywhere else.
America is fucked, and it’s fucked for some people even tho they make over 100k, they’re nowhere close to the problem.


Dayen mentions in passing that “the source of Epstein’s wealth” comes from obtaining power of attorney over the estate of Les Wexner, “from which he appropriated bunches of money” — but this is easy to misread as a euphemism for theft. In fact, Epstein was Wexner’s personal money manager, and his “appropriation” of Wexner’s funds is perfectly ordinary in the WMI — even expected.
Article makes it sound like “business as usual”…
But Epstein lived and ran his business out of a house Wexner owned and let him live in…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Wexner
Like, we’re supposed to believe your first client is a billionaire who lets you work and live out of his home?
Epstein didn’t create the ring, he just took over management. It existed before him and people owed it favors already. It’s the most likely explanation how someone with no experience or even really a business could land such a huge client that comes with a fucking house.


Along with a shit ton of other things…
If it was something as serious as what you’re saying, they wouldn’t have disclosed it at the time. Which again, was a month ago, and it wasn’t a big deal then.
Like, do you people legitimately not realize this is Faux News desperately trying to distract from the Epstein list?
I overestimate people a lot, but come the fuck on, can you really not see what’s happening here?


Article is about an MRI he got a month ago and was disclosed at the time…
I’d say Faux is trying to garner sympathy for him


The craziest thing is they could just pull out Mitt Romeny’s original plan from 2008 and it would still be a huge improvement.
It would be that easy. And trump gets the absolute told you so of “if it wasn’t for Obama, you’d have always had this!”. Which would be bullshit because Romney’s would have been drug to the right too.
But still, it’s such a stupidly easy win he’ll never take.
Before AI pops, American AI will.
Which is good, it’ll mitigate the damage.
