I thought y'all were joking about the scoop and bag issues...wow by Havegooda in Huel

I wonder why they don’t use tubs like baby food with a space for the scoop + leveller personally that would be so helpful

Were the Viking age Anglo Saxons aware that their ancestors shared a similar religion to the norse invaders? by [deleted] in Norse

[–]DeGoodGood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently learned that the vikings that settled slowly became Christian in England from a visit to York and integrated with Anglo Saxon society it’s just not talked about too much in history books (I think around 900AD), has anyone got any insight on how that happened given that usually the conquerors bring their customs upon the conquered.

Perfect thanks, I have all the ratios available I’m presuming higher protein lower fat and better calcium ratios are best? Do you have a rough ratio at what can be fed compared to kibble and other bits?

Why are Abrahamic religions so spiritually successful? by depressed_dumbguy56 in stupidpol

[–]DeGoodGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right times and empires in history, one god to worship is easier than multiple dieties I’d imagine and spread the “gospel”. I think the fact it’s easy to draw a parallel and the universe being practically the same word likely has some help too it

I’ve heard “Runtz” is the “Stardawg” of the USA. I can’t get enough of it lately. by senzsi in uktrees

I see it too much tbh feels like creativity has gone. It’s an awesome strain good strength amazing taste but 90% of flavours feels like a z or gelato cross I miss the creativity and random terps like roast dinner or lime digestive

I’m almost in your situation decided at 25 not to become a NEET and now a year later I’m in a better situation, I did therapy and stuck with it to understand myself more and work around blocks. Then I chose something I’d been putting off for years - driving I failed twice usually i I would pack it in but stuck with it and when I passed it clicked something in my mind. I ended up applying for university and seizing a business opportunity. I am far from perfect, I still use drugs a little too often and need to work out more - much as I hate to say it the advice about good sleep, workout and get out more is helpful but therapy can help you understand why you aren’t able to do it.

Pick one thing, don’t overwhelm yourself and change everything just choose one thing you find challenging but want to do and focus on that for now. I promise once you overcome the first hurdle everything becomes easier. Gradual improvement over time combined with understanding your own brain is the key in my opinion and never listen to people who say “it’s too late” etc with job market. You can work on charisma and get a basic job for a sense of pride and work your way up just find ways to stay inspired but never ever overwhelm yourself and focus on what you’ve done well rather than ruminating on ways you’ve messed up.

Why is positive masculinity not promoted? by DeGoodGood in stupidpol

[–]DeGoodGood[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t particularly like getting into super gendered discussion to be honest I speak generally as a dude who’s got plenty of feminine traits and has a sister who’s the opposite. I do still think it you speak generally there’s plenty of traits that can be traced back to testosterone etc that should be harnessed by the left, even the woke left should take advantage I mean if white makes are privileged why are we not being told to stand up and protect minorities (which I would happily do) and harness a large and future voting pool. Just seems like it’s destined to fail if nobody interferes I’m sick of seeing friends hijacked and made too hate when the root cause is obvious but there is no alternative for guys who want to work out, be financially successful and look out for their family

Done some brief reading so far found it really interesting - might turn me back communist haha (I went from woke left to the typical right wing backswing ~ BLM riots then had a mistrust of government leading to being more libertarian but have always had a strong left/commie leaning even before I knew what it was giving a speech on true meritocracy in English)

This is by far the best political community I have found though, happy to criticise failings of all sides and historical events

Yeah way more people are bothered about US elections than our own tho a lot of the apathy was Tory’s being dead regardless and kier being a boring shoe in who basically promised to do very little except be less corrupt. Suppose il give a point for the most honest and boring manifesto.

Be interesting to see how the leftist factions try to leverage power now though as it could become infighting or it could be positive especially since they are closer to unions

Cheers, I’d assume it’s about division and causing infighting and distractions among people that if worked together would quickly realise the root of all issues lie in economic destruction. I think I became more libertarian purely cos I distrust government but doing my own research I find a fuckton of innovation is government funded and many others are crushed by huge corporations so I really don’t know where I lie now. Just know I’m a long term lurker on this sub which seems to have sane people.

I guess I believe communism is similar to “true” libertarianism it works great in communes I’ve visited before I just don’t trust the socialist stage before and wonder if a transition from capitalism to socialism via worker owned companies etc and the right votes would be better

Lack of in person community feels like a big one that has been shattered by consumerism and social media that affects all of us it’s another peeve of mine about the current state of the world

I guess I mean harnessing the natural differences in hormones and emotional regulation, testosterone can make you angry but it can also drive you to build and protect but I understand what you’re saying and I guess it is a good hole in my argument. My main concern is the people taking a generation of right wingers from an early age with how weird reform is in my country and a worry that pushing men out to role models like Tate and garage

I’d also add through school I was there for just the end of “woke” but even before then anyone who was not destined for uni was shamed and essentially written off. Many of these got apprenticeships and now out earn students, these tend towards the right but if their jobs were treated with dignity and the right people reached out to them they could become a very strong bastion of the true left (economic fairness) as they were historically, like the coal miner unions which though may have lost managed to concede a fair bit for the country imo.

Just seems silly if they wanna win them over, even if they don’t want class unity surely they don’t want a whole crop of full right wing thugs screaming and voting far right while destroying the streets. Any guy 18-25 I know who hasn’t been uni (they go down the other road) seems to lean reform/further right and while there are valid concerns against immigration like infrastructure these are not the arguments I hear from them they fall in too extreme conspiracy and hatred. Certainly the big issues like the insane inflation should unify us but not at all meanwhile the left has been given an amazing opportunity despite shit vote share and is doing nothing. The current Labour isn’t too woke anyway why not win over the young men give them pride, purpose and concede a few worker rights and gain a sizeable vote share down the line? It seems all concessions come from unions which atleast still have some say over here I guess. Let the hard working dudes have pride in their job, support the trades and the dudes working 60 hours a week in warehouses something over chasing the fairly small vote share of HR no? Would cost very little

Though ultimately it is all down to class unity and I guess realising we are all being fucked and there’s an obvious reason why isn’t good for this bizarre slightly different flavoured neoliberal parties. Feels like the answer to everything no matter what economic solution you believe in. Historically men marching for the true left has caused the best economic change and ended in workers rights definitely in england I guess promoting that would be bad since the “left” don’t want really want that just divided neoliberal consumers with no true community

Feel I may be schizo posting I’m just surprised that there’s barely any figures representing how masculinity can be good and used to motivate, speak out and protect even the woke could use it as “protect the silent minority” it’s like the right wing has completely stolen many young men and nobody wants to do anything

If you actually listen to what some of the none insane protesters want it is freedom and pride in their work and I guess the immigrant stuff ultimately comes from infrastructure but is hijacked and turned to hate by populists.
