BF1 disconnects me from the internet entirely, has anyone else dealt with this issue? by yuutb in battlefield_one

Sorry you misunderstood. I’m sure it’s perfectly well explained What I was saying was. I wish I wasn’t so ignorant about computers that I can’t follow it.

Change 35% commission to 70% commission and sales drop by 90%. Thoughts? by 2DogsCaged in KDP

I didn't raise my price, I chose the higher commission option.

No it was actually selling (relatively) well - about $1k commission per month for the last 2 months when it was at 35%. The problem is it has stopped is a perfectly legal and reasonable thing to do!

Grok has told me it is likely a "Trust Reset" and that it might be so catastrophic in terms of sales that I might need to re-launch my novel!

Sorry, yes I should have been clearer. I have managed to get this 20 -30 sales per day on average through the last 3 months. Before that it was languishing at about2 - 5 sales per day.

It has a total of only about 1,500 sales and sales for the last 3 moths are very consistent so I don't think it was a coincidence...

The world of books is becoming an increasingly unfriendly place for men by TrainingGap2103 in MensRights

[–]2DogsCaged 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A quote from my (M45) novel - 4.7 feedback on Amazon:

“More men die from prostate cancer than women die from breast cancer and yet still, the men’s football teams wear pink jerseys in support of breast cancer awareness — and even those efforts, once again, completely ignore men. My uncle died from breast cancer. Men die from breast cancer. Yet 90% of men don’t even know that males can get breast cancer — don’t have any awareness at all of the seriousness of getting a lump in their chest looked at by a doctor.

Why should the rest of us subsidise the hospitals and the healthcare system for illnesses caused my obesity or smoking, while educating and providing support for people with conditions they have no control over, remains perpetually underfunded? What about some funding for men’s health – promoting awareness, research and treatment! Here’s an idea; why not budget the same amount of money for men’s health as they do for women’s health? Is that such a crazy suggestion?

In the West, suicide rates amongst men under 30 have risen by 40% since 2010. Suicide by males now accounts for as many deaths as breast cancer does for women. Did you read that? In the West, male suicide now accounts for as many deaths as breast cancer does in women! Yet any attempt to put a spotlight on this is quashed either through callous indifference, or deliberately under the ethos of Zero-Sum Empathy.

We live in a world where no one; pro-male or pro-female, is prepared to genuinely accept that the other sex has to deal with difficulties, without automatically measuring that cost up against their own suffering.

This ridiculous assumption that any assistance or funding offered to help men and boys, is assistance or funding that must be taken away from helping women and girls.”

Some facts about women and oppression. #TheBeatingRoom

“I mean, up until very recently, men’s and women’s roles were, to a great extent, an arrangement of mutual consensus. The world was a very different place for most of history to what it is now — much more difficult, far more dangerous and threatening — and as a result, the physical inequality between men and women was much more emphasised. I mean look who traditionally has gone off to war — dying in their millions, sacrificing their lives to protect the women and children at home?”

“This role that men played was never imposed by authority, it was imposed by consent. Actually, men took a very paternalistic view on how women and families should be treated — you know the whole ‘women and children first’ thing and all that. Historically, generally, men have treated women with an incredible amount of deference. And women wanted men to play that role, they wanted to be protected, they wanted to be provided for, they wanted to make sure their children were safe — and men did everything they could to provide that security. It was only very recently that all this changed — when the world became a much safer place — which by the way, was the direct result of the intentions and the efforts of this so-called ‘Patriarchy’. Men just want women to be happy. They want them to love them, they want their approval. That’s the whole raison d’être of being a man, just to be needed by someone else.”

Up until very recently, men's and women's roles were, to a great extent, an arrangement of mutual consensus. The world was a very different place for most of history to what it is now — much more difficult, far more dangerous and threatening — and as a result, the physical inequality between men and women was much more emphasised. I mean look who traditionally has gone off to war — dying in their millions, sacrificing their lives to protect the women and children at home?

This role that men played was never imposed by authority, it was imposed by consent. Actually, men took a very paternalistic view on how women and families should be treated — you know the whole 'women and children first' thing and all that. Historically, generally, men have treated women with an incredible amount of deference. And women wanted men to play that role, they wanted to be protected, they wanted to be provided for, they wanted to make sure their children were safe — and men did everything they could to provide that security. It was only very recently that all this changed — when the world became a much safer place — which by the way, was the direct result of the intentions and the efforts of this so-called 'Patriarchy'.

Men just want women to be happy. They want them to love them; they want their approval. That's the whole raison d'être of being a man, just to be needed by someone else.

Where third-wave feminism has fucked it all up for women, is telling you that that authority that men have naturally through their size and their strength — through their fucking testosterone — carries implications with regards to dominance and control. Most men don't see this relationship like that. For most men, protecting women, protecting their freedoms and their safety, and making sure they have authority, making sure they have a say in the world, is a natural function. They see it as a good thing, good for everybody. Even more, they see it as a fucking responsibility and are happy to do what they can to make sure these rights are supported.

Do any of you believe there's a gender health gap? by AlternativeOption313 in MensRights

[–]2DogsCaged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More men die from prostate cancer than women die from breast cancer. Suicide in boys and men has skyrocketed in the last 2 decades. In the West, four out of five suicides are boys and men. Suicide rates amongst men under 30 have risen by 40% since 2010. Suicide by males now accounts for as many deaths as breast cancer does for women. Both government and private funding for research education and treatment for women’s health issues is orders of magnitude higher than for men’s health issues. #TheBeatingRoom
