Fantastic post!

Elite champagne socialists looking down on the actual desires of the poor and working class.

How did Heartbleed and Goto fail happen in OpenSSL then?

Start with it standing in the morning. Lower it when you feel like it. Then after lunch start standing again, lower over time.

Lots of open source software uses arcane concepts because lots of it is old. See Xorg as a prime example. That was outdated 20 years ago already.

Closes source software gets exploited and hacked all the time. They take security seriously as well.

Look at OpenSSL and the heartbleed and similar high profile security failures for how even using high profile open source software is not automatically more secure.

You theoretically can see the code. You don’t actually look at it. Nor can you even have the knowledge to understand and see security implications for all the software you use.

In practice it makes little difference for security if you use open or closed source software.

Helping men is possible in many ways that are totally independent of women. Better education from child level on how to process, express, and handle emotions. More spaces for boys and men to bond and do things as a group away from screens. Non commercial third spaces have almost vanished and are needed direly.

making women less biased against dating men that they “don’t need”?

Sounds like a typical incel meme. Almost all (hetero) women want a man as a partner. Even if they don’t necessarily need one to have a career, children, a bank account, live their own lives, and so on. The desire to share their life with a man is certainly there and strong. Maybe not in the basement you retreated to. The outside world is packed full of women looking for a suitable man as a partner.

Sexuality, procreation, and pair bonding are hardwired instincts in humans and still there.

Spend some time in places where actual real women are and listen to them to get a reality check.

There are so many mid 30s to early 40s women desperately looking for a husband to have a family with. That’s when those who thought they didn’t need a man, realize their deeper desire.

It’s a bit more complicated than feminists bad. What happened is that they were successful in many ways for example education is now dominated by women and girls have better grades and achieve higher than boys. Boys have fallen by the wayside. Boys only institutions that catered to their needs have shrunk, ceased to exist, or been replaced by mixed. Men’s issues like higher mental health issues, more homeless, more incarceration, more suicide, loneliness, addiction, etc. don’t get much attention. That’s not the feminists’ fault. Blaming men and patriarchy for every ill in society is of course an easy scapegoat and makes men feel guilty.

The far right caters to this feeling, telling men that they are okay, important, and accepted. They explicitly try to deepen the gap, not bridge it.

A better future and society is possible when we overcome the division.

Yes to sculptures and poetry. It didn’t get me laid with new people though.

Moral purity testing on the left has reached exhausting and reality defying levels.

Dies. Raus aus der Komfortzone.

Das ist nur eine Ausrede, mit der du dein Vermeidungsverhalten vor dir selbst rechtfertigst.

Es ist heiß. Na und? Wasser trinken und im Schatten aufhalten.
