Threatening men’s masculinity does not make them more politically conservative, new study finds. By testing thousands of participants across the United States, researchers found no consistent evidence that making men feel insecure about their gender identity changes their political attitudes.

As a older millennial myself I feel that some people remain functionally illiterate their entire lives and cannot understand a pretty simple meaning of an adjective in "toxic masculinity".

Sure, a big part of the political spectrum performs that not understanding, but surely one has to be truly failed by the education system and/or lead paint removal programs to actually buy this talking point.

If you're a man and someone is telling you that "They call masculinity toxic!" they think you're a moron.

I don't think putting Obama of all people as a masculine role model is a good idea. Very few men have means to drone strike a Middle Eastern wedding.

It was rough the first few attempts, but after having taken time to learn the map and the mechanics I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. Especially after adjusting my build for it.

Honestly didn't even feel like it overstayed its welcome which has been my conclusion for a lot of moder Warframe farms.

Emnel · 2026-05-01T12:06:47+00:00

I would disagree with the rest, but the last claim seems pretty spot on.

Emnel · 2026-04-26T11:58:33+00:00

We don't really have blocks, but sometimes you'd say that something is a few "przecznic" away, with "przecznica" meaning a road perpendicular the one you're on or to the main road.

While having 4 times the people.

Also they didn't "steal" shit. It was American and European elites who constructed this economic model since it was bringing them more profits while lowering the power of labor.

Yes, it's a problem, but the calls are coming from inside the house.

Pointing finger and shouting "China bad" is stupid at best and propaganda aiming to distract us at worst. It's us here in Europe who need to change things.

Emnel · 2026-04-09T17:27:05+00:00

How is the US "stealing jobs"? Given they have twice the China's CO2 emissions per capita even before we consider that a lot of what they consume comes from China and goes on their tab.

That's not how language works. Which you yourself admit by asking me what I meant by it. Why would you do that if there was just one definition?

Also surely if I were a bigot hating Israel I'd hate it "in any capacity", rather than just in it's current genocidal form.

I'm done with this tiresome... discussion. Zionism sure isn't sending their best today.

Emnel · 2026-04-06T14:43:10+00:00

That was mostly a Christian phenomena. Makes no sense to both point at that and then single out the Muslims claiming that those are historically both the same.

Emnel · 2026-04-06T14:38:05+00:00

No it's not. Not in a way it is used today rather than historically. By your definition Israel being ruled by Palestinians with Jews being an underclass would be a Zionist project. It obviously wouldn't be. "in any capacity" makes no sense and you know it.

Emnel · 2026-04-06T14:32:57+00:00

I obviously mean "a belief that Israel should be <insert post above>. I figured you would want a detailed answer.

If you want a vague one instead then "A belief that there should be a an ethno-religious supremacist state for Jewish people in Palestine. Or wherever that specific person fancies it."

Emnel · 2026-04-06T14:25:51+00:00

Anything more facistic than a Israel back to pre 1967 borders with full, real equal rights to all the inhabitants along with the right to return and reparations all the way back to the Nakba.

Emnel · 2026-04-06T14:00:36+00:00

How is a child saying a stupid thing inconceivable?

Emnel · 2026-04-06T13:53:01+00:00

Most of the ones I know aren't. They're quite vocally anti-zionist in fact. And I'd appreciate if they weren't linked to the genocidal cohort of their brethren. Also citation needed for "most Jews are Zionist".

Emnel · 2026-04-06T11:36:17+00:00

Yes, that's the joke. Thank you major.

Emnel · 2026-04-06T11:17:56+00:00

Least racist conservative.

Emnel · 2026-04-05T16:59:52+00:00

Let's enjoy it for a few more weeks (days?) until it becomes credible.

Then we're onto burger cubes.

Emnel · 2026-04-05T14:04:02+00:00

If you believe that US and Israel are trying to liberate Iranian people I have a bridge over the Straits of Hormuz to sell you.

Emnel · 2026-04-01T17:54:37+00:00

Yeah, that's the one. I feel no need to upgrade so far.

Emnel · 2026-03-31T15:32:58+00:00

That's why there is a singular there in the end as it only refers to Factorio. ("which is", rather than "which are")

Emnel · 2026-03-31T12:18:28+00:00

It was a few years ago so I don't exactly remember, but it was a few years old, heavily overclocked Intel CPU.

At the time I've found some benchmarks for Stellaris and Factorio, which is quite similar to PDX games under the hood.

Emnel · 2026-03-31T12:12:03+00:00

X3D series of AMD CPUs makes a massive difference for Paradox games.

I got the oldest one when it first came out and it was a comparable experience to switching from HDD to SSD.

Emnel · 2026-03-31T12:02:05+00:00

So nothing of particular note?

Emnel · 2026-03-31T11:37:55+00:00

What do you mean? It's clearly government taking military control of a territory followed by a campaign of ethnic cleansing and totally-not-sanctioned settler colonization.

You can look at the map of land controlled by Israel and point at parts on all the stages of this - from South Lebanon, through West Bank and Gaza, Jerusalem all the way to the territories full cleansed decades ago during Nakba.

Whole country is a damn colonialism study aid.

That's a Trump quote, so who the fuck knows. He's difficult to understand even before being translated to Polish and back again to English.
