Yeah one of my better landlords was a sparky that worked hard af. This is Aus though so might be different. Any time we reported shit with the house he was out the immediately when he didn’t have a job to fix it personally and you could tell he was hot shit at his work too because he had his own business.

Given the nature and tone of your replies, the appeal to your professionalism rings hollow. Especially telling every other comment that critical of your idea to get out or calling them childish. For someone supposedly attempting to help you’re sure being very belligerent and hostile. Might be worth doing some introspection over. I certainly hope you don’t communicate in such a fashion in your professional capacity that’s for sure.

In protist comment the “this…” after nitrogen narcosis is meant to indicate a change of topic to the OP. As in “X is boring this is pod racing. “ it’s ambiguous and a semi colon could have probably avoided this confusion. Or even just “what op is describing is”. Not that I think his comment is necessarily correct.

So Mao isn’t responsible for the millions of deaths under his leadership in labour camps, executions and famine because he was totalitarian and therefore it isn’t because of socialism? Yet capitalism is responsible for all the deaths from poverty and disease according to your image, does that about sum it up?

Also no socialist leader was a mass murderer? Not even one? Every socialist leader much just be a perfect human being then. Very compelling.

I understand the foundational concepts to the patriarchy idea and accept that some people who believe it can draw the distinction. My point remains that most do not. Including this video author who felt comfortable titling the video as they did. Even in the paper this video apparently references the paper starts with addressing the patriarchy and rapidly goes from that to pointing solely to “white men” as being the focal point of the issue/paper.

I think that claiming there is absolutely no patriarchy or patriarchal element to society is disingenuous at best. That aside I think it is looked to as the sole reason or even the main reason for a lot of issues without cause and little to no scientific reasoning. If the world switch to being a matriarchy tomorrow it’d still be business as usual because it’d be women CEOs/interest group/corporate entities making billions in blood money instead. Trying to pin all of societies woes on the patriarchy just does not seem in anyway conductive to the larger issue in this context, which is climate change. Especially when it does so on shoddy papers like the one referenced in the video.

It cites one study wherein 16 women and 9 men had an introductory conversation on the issue.

Which leads you to feel comfortable making the widely generalised conclusion of:

The video spends a long time on the phenomena wherein men tend to feel the need to dominate discussions regardless of their actual qualifications.

One paper, with a sample size of 25. With no rigorous data beyond “we observed an academic meeting and the men spoke more times, for longer”. That paper also attributes a lot of reasons for why the men did this and nearly all of it based in speculation beyond the two quotes. The paper bases an astounding amount of assertions based off this incredible weak data.

Criticizing patriarchy is not attacking men or dividing groups.

What an interesting thought given the title of the video is literally “are men killing the planet?”. People insist that blaming the patriarchy == blaming men yet in actuality this rarely seems to a distinction drawn by the same people who espouse the patriarchy rhetoric.

No way. It’s not worth him getting assassinated by some lunatic. Honestly even if he’s successfully indicted he should be on house arrest. Lock his pudgy arse up but he has to be kept safe for obvious reason.

The end theme for black lagoon still occasionally gives me goosebumps, I think it’s how atmospheric it is and somewhat calm/sad after the chaos of a typical BL episode. That I never saw the end of the outro until my second watch and always assumed it was her walking to her death after a firefight.

Man Haruka Kanata was a particularly solid one and a bunch of songs by Asian Kung Fu generation are pretty decent rock tracks.

I’ll see if I bookmarked it but there was a site with a bunch of VPNs listed with their privacy/functionality compared. Using it as a reference I ended up on Mullvad VPN. Super simple set up for the basic stuff with some more functionality under the hood if you need. iOS and windows app for quick set up too. My experience with them has been only positive so far.
