    Also differs person to person, but I think there is a useful highlight in here.

    Traditionally being the “dominant” gender, men are expected to show signs of attention towards women to “earn” their affection (which the meme is essentially about).

    But when it comes the other way around, it both breaks the social script and gives men something they severely lack - feeling that they matter, that they are worthy of attention, that they can be loved for who they are and not for what they do. And when someone is ready to break traditional norms and actively wants to give you something you never even hoped to receive, it lets the guard down pretty rapidly.

    Overall, the solution to both, in my eyes, is for women to show more of such behavior, normalizing women initiating relationships and showing their affection from the start.

    The reason men often go after women despite being refused is that culture often mixes “no as no” and “no as playful yes”. If women would be casually able to initiate relationships, signals would get much clearer, sparing everyone a ton of discomfort and allowing to actually build the culture of consent. Also, there would be less space for manipulation through abusing people’s needs.



  • If God is truly this powerful, He’s a psychopath.

    He can create us perfect and kind and loyal, and specifically chooses not to. Instead, He bullies us into serving Him, going for a murder spree in the meanwhile, knowing full well it is entirely avoidable.

    All to show how much He loves us.






  • I feel this way about religion.

    It is literally being bullied by a supernatural creature that doesn’t even exist. Do X, do not do Y, else the entire wrath of the Almighty will be upon you.

    And at the same time the Almighty can do absolutely anything they want - mass murder people, sleep with anyone, get everyone drunk, tell father to kill the son - because what, are you gonna defy or question someone who else destroys you and tarnishes your soul for the rest of eternity?

    The good is replaced with compliance, because an authoritative voice says what’s good and you better obey. 1984 type shit, invented millenia before.


  • Backups and High Availability come to mind.

    If there’s any other place you’d be allowed to install a second node on, ideally served by another ISP (since we talk about remote access), you can do that. This can be your friends, or family, or someone else you trust.

    Just have 2 NAS devices with equal drives in each and let them work in a high availability cluster. This way, you’ll have near 100% uptime and a backup in case something goes wrong.

    Sure, that is more expensive, but it gives some peace of mind while keeping control of your data. Additionally, with this configuration you don’t necessarily have to build a RAID array if money is a problem, so some costs can be shaved off (Though it never hurts to still have it if you can afford it)

    Su often takes more time and is more involved, even if it’s a difference between very little effort and no effort at all.

    For example, I update and install apps through CLI about once a week, and I’d rather just bang the sudo <update command> than go su, enter root credentials, and only then go for what I wanted in the first place.



  • To be fair, this is likely about hormonal options, which is the primary reason people might be concerned about oral contraception mentioned in the post.

    Regular copper IUDs have their track record a bit worse, but still going very strong.

    Also, using IUDs ideally requires checking if the device is still set right after each period - not doing so may increase one’s chances of getting pregnant.



  • Honestly, yes.

    Linux lacks a native Task manager, and this is one of the “death by a thousand cuts” roadblocks that prevent its adoption.

    A user must be able to launch a graphical tool to manage processes even if everything else froze. That’s just basic usability.

    Can it be currently resolved with a terminal? Yes. Should it be resolved with a terminal? No.




  • I’m so very tired of these pointless gender wars, honestly.

    There are better and more productive ways to voice general concerns - there truly exists a pressure on some women to use hormonal contraception, and this is bad - it’s not okay to pressure your partner in matters of health and intimacy. But what helps is getting to the root of the problem.

    The root is sexual discomfort on one side and anxiety on the other standing in the way of intimacy. So, maybe there are other unexplored options to resolve this conflict in a way that is comfortable to all sides? The world of contraception is very rich, and tries to cater to everyone’s use cases.
