  • I disagree that all white men have the space, time, means, and privilege.

    This is a broad generalization, which is something I think we should try to avoid about all groups. While the world is run by white men, the majority of white men are not the same people.

    The ones that do have the time, space, means, and privilege only seem to enjoy fucking everything up for other people, including lower-classed white men, which is depressing.



  • Original asker here.

    “White pride” groups are hate groups. Being white is not a culture. There are plenty of white cultures, like Ukrainian, Irish, English, French, etc, that have cultural events and celebrations all the time.

    I’m also not a fan of “Asian pride” for the same reason, but would hesitate to call them hate groups. There’s lots of Asian countries with different cultures. Skin tone is nothing to be proud of.

    “Black pride” however, is fine because of the whole being-ripped-from-your-homeland-and-all-knowledge-of-it-being-stripped-from-your-ancestors-because-of-slavery thing.

    I do agree with you though. Like there’s education grants for every group, but when I went back to school at 35 there was nothing for me but loans. So now I’m in debt, and man… I could use some help too.


  • While I agree with what you’re saying, I will raise the question: where is the place to talk about men’s issues in a healthy way? They seem really hard to find.

    It’s a hole that needs to be filled, because currently it’s being filled by Tates and other shitbirds.

    Edited to add: I appreciate the insight. I replied to one comment but I just worked a 12-hour shift and am bagged and don’t have the energy to discuss further. I hope everyone is having a nice day. :)




  • Haha the cops one reminds me of a couple weeks ago…

    I took the train without tapping my card (omg I know!)

    A bunch of cops were blocking the exit when I got off checking people’s cards.

    The only way out is through.

    So I hand one of them my card, he taps his little machine and hands it back. I see the little wheel is still spinning and just walk off, normally, but maybe a little quickly. 😆






  • Admittedly, I’ve been a Mac fan since I was a kid, first home PC was an Apple IIGS. The Mac mini is the way to go. You save like $1000 just by not paying for the monitor and other accessories. I use an apple monitor from 2011 that I got for $100 in 2020 and a Samsung TV for the second one. Logitech keyboard and mouse, MSI controller. I’ve always bought them second hand, usually a year behind. I’m a fan, not a glazer. ;)

    However, I am trying to de-corpify my digital life, as I like to call it, so only my daily driver is still a Mac. My old mini now runs Mint as my home server and my MacBook also runs mint. (It’s an older one, any work I do other than paperwork is done on the other machine)

    Naturally I started with an iPhone because they work so well together. However, once I can get my hands on one of those Motorola Graphene phones, I plan to ditch Mac OS for Linux on my daily driver. (An M4 mini that I got for $600CAD floor model right before the prices went up)

    I’ll probably stick with second-hand Mac hardware (or floor models) though.
