  • I know this is likely rage bait or trolling but I’ll answer for those who are actually curious.

    By experiencing a great childhood and a family life full of joy, respect, happiness and safety they will realize this:

    Being there for those who you love, for your wife, kids, friends and extended family is much more important and more manly than chasing short lived pleasure just to see manly on the outside. Like cigars.

    Taking responsibility, being reliable, being there for others can take many forms. And it’s what great men do. It’s what great people do in general.

    And that can take many forms. Working a job, running a house hold, and so on.




  • My corner of the internet is the fediverse mostly as others said.

    My real life corner has moved to Bluesky from Twitter which isn’t great but an improvement. I do have to say I prefer the way Bluesky allows you to make feeds and share them over Mastodon discoverability quite a lot.

    The move away from meta is slowly starting. Facebook is a thing anymore. But Instagram still has people struggling to move away (as does WhatsApp but signal works similar enough that I get people to slowly move over). It’s not open source but miles better than Zuckerberg.

    But Pixelfed just isn’t a thing most people know about it seems. Same with lemmy. So reddit is still used a lot or quit without replacement because everyone hates the app experience around here.

    Pixelfed also isn’t my thing but then I never used Instagram or TikTok either.






  • While I don’t think we can beat AI driven content degradation by outposting them, I still agree posting ‘just Google it’ does any good either.

    Post an answer or link a topic which covered the same question in detail. But directing people to Google isn’t something I’d advocate. Maybe tell them to Ecosiate it if you really have to.

    Also it’s just rude and creates an uninviting admosphere around here Imo.

    But the AI issue can’t be solved by users alone. It’s moderation and maybe regulation which is needed here.



  • Same. I got his book as an ebook and read it. It offers some decent if simple advice and draws some really weird and false conclusions in other places. But overall it isn’t a bad book and I never felt like he argued on bad faith. But eventually I decided I don’t agree with his views overall.

    Later he went a bit weird eating only meat and making weird arguments so idk. But before that I totally understood how he could suck people into the right wing bubble.
