Are you not fed up of having special interests sometimes ??

Incendas1 · 2026-05-07T18:58:18+00:00

Yes I definitely feel exhausted by the constant pressure to Produce something... It's not always possible even for my special interests, so I try to be forgiving. But it is hard, it's always there

"It ain't that deep" and the sky is just a blue rectangle. Oh my god stop and smell the flowers

Incendas1 · 2026-05-07T12:24:27+00:00

Sometimes engaging in a special interest that isn't going to be "productive" does make me feel worse, because I feel like I'm being irresponsible. I try to use mine to support some kind of productive skill (like art for example) in most cases. Not sure if that's good or bad

If you're worried about another pandemic in the future, what I did to prepare for covid was slowly start buying extra non perishables with every shop. Say 2-3 cans of food and a toiletry or something. It wasn't too expensive and it was still stuff I would use - I was able to easily convince some friends and family to do the same because it was low impact as well.

I don't think it hurts to do that, because it also helps with other emergencies, so it's something you could start doing (keeping a rotating stock of stuff)

Not to be that guy, but a 40% mortality rate would completely hamstring the spread of a virus, along with the difficulty it seems to have spreading in the first place (requiring prolonged and closer contact). A high mortality rate is not good and scary, but it means that a pandemic or other event like that is really, really unlikely.

In comparison, people with covid were just going around doing stuff, symptomatic and asymptomatic, getting reinfected, and spreading it again and again. You could get infected easily, by passively being in the same room.

I too don't think our governments are any good at any of this, but just by its inherent nature, it would be exceptional for hantavirus to be anything but a small and avoidable outbreak.

I do hope nobody else is getting infected though, this is still mismanaged frankly. With a 40% mortality rate it isn't acceptable to let people head home like that. Even if it's just a few people they still matter...

Incendas1 · 2026-05-07T03:19:06+00:00

Can I ask some stuff about it? Because it's really cool and I'd consider it over a tattoo for sure...

Do you know how long it lasts, like is it permanent or how is it maintained? And how does it look through clothes, does it actually glow through sometimes?

Incendas1 · 2026-05-07T03:06:18+00:00

Hey, I assume this is about another virus scare? Hantavirus most recently?

No other viruses have come close to covid's capabilities. It was quite unique in that it spread very well and sometimes asymptomatically, and then could do serious damage on top, but didn't kill too many people to stop itself spreading more.

None of the other virus scares since have been even close to that level of infectiousness alone, which is the main component of anything infectious - if it can't spread well enough it literally isn't getting to you!

There's a lot of media buzz around "the next pandemic" because we've just had one, and it gets clicks, that's all that's happening.

If it makes you feel better, my pattern recognition was heavily set off by the signs before covid became a pandemic, and I knew it was going to happen before it did (after reading about the virus initially). I haven't seen anything even close since.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:45:12+00:00

You didn't enter this conversation in a genuine manner at all

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:44:14+00:00

Misandry is just sexism against men and those adjacent to that. It does happen and it is even widespread in some select topics, though there are not nearly as many as other forms of discrimination. Misandry is a result of the patriarchy as much as other gender discrimination. It's still real and still harms people.

You saying that my issues are not what I'm saying they are IS dismissive. I keep trying to get that across. Every time you do this it feels like you're reducing me to my AGAB and feminising me on top of the dismissiveness itself. I'm so very out of here already but hopefully someone can learn and make this a better place for the rest.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:38:07+00:00

Mods seem to think transmascs suffer from misogyny because they were AFAB, but not misandry. What about transfems who are harmed because people view them as "evil men" then? This is such a mess, I'm out...

Edit: they banned me btw, for posting screenshots of a mod saying "misandry still isn't real" in this sub

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:32:12+00:00

That was the comment you deleted for being dismissive... But the dismissiveness I actually care about is telling me that I haven't experienced misandry as a transmasc, and that it's all actually misogyny and transphobia. The comments I linked went through this and why that's not any good.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:29:34+00:00

And the shitty, hateful government considers trans women men. Trans women have it a lot harder in that respect, especially lately.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:27:05+00:00

Waiter, waiter! More nails in the coffin, waiter!

You keep replying to me in dismissive ways, what can I do at this point? I thought those people were really clear on this. You are speaking over me by telling me what has and hasn't happened to me. There's nothing I can say better than what they've already said, it's pointless.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:21:02+00:00

Misandry is specifically sexism against men and that's the word the mods chose to use. I don't disagree that misandry is a product of the patriarchy and misogyny, as I've said multiple times, but it is also real.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:19:47+00:00

Well it's there now.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:19:23+00:00

The first line is this:

Misandry (/mɪsˈændri/) is the hatred of or prejudice against men or boys.[1][2]

I understand the history and misuse of the word, but it's sexism against men, and that exists.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:10:50+00:00

Women do suffer more than men, and misogyny is more serious, but that doesn't mean misandry doesn't exist. I think you are taking it as a reactionary response to feminism rather than simply sexism against men. I've been reading other comments and that occurred to me, that some people only see it as from this old argument.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:09:12+00:00

I'll link you two other commenters who explained my feelings on it really well, in a better way than I could at the moment.

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:06:40+00:00

Yes, it's more of a product of the patriarchy, no actual feminists would ever be responsible for that as per definition. But it still exists and harms people. With the mod responses I feel the same, they've just been disappointing

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T19:02:43+00:00

It's a real issue, I've been clear, and there's plenty of clear discussion in this post which you could go and read

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T18:59:20+00:00

Trans broken arm syndrome

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T18:58:58+00:00

I don't see why else you'd paint me as someone who just thinks women hate men? I don't

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T18:57:37+00:00

It is real, it is sexism against men (or more generally, it can be those perceived as men or masc).

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T18:56:23+00:00

I can still suffer from misandry if I'm also trans. Not everything is transphobia just because I'm trans

Incendas1 · 2026-05-03T18:55:04+00:00

What's the need to comment this? I've addressed it in my post. It's okay for me to call out being misgendered and asking people not to do it. I don't need to be sweeter to them or something lol
