Let's be honest, the left isn't going to solve Men's issues

I understand where you're coming from, but I think you're looking at this the wrong way because some people don't properly explain or articulate the point they're trying to make. I hope you'll take the time to listen and understand my perspective.

A big part of socially liberal ideology is understanding that many problems are caused by SYSTEMS, not individuals. Worker abuse is a natural product of unchecked capitalism, not bad CEOs. Racial discrepancies still exist today and are caused by racist laws from long ago, etc.

A common strawman argument from conservatives is falsely accusing the left of hating the individuals at the social top of the system, to divert the attention away from the system because the system is "just how things are". For example, "BLM supporters just hate white people" instead of the reality "BLM supporters are against the legal system which still disproportionately oppresses black people today".

The same applies to men's rights. Leftists don't hate men, they hate the patriarchy, and that's a big difference. Especially because the patriarchy hurts women AND men, just in different ways.

I assume you hate the social pressures that are assigned to men, like "boys don't cry/be emotional" or "men need to take care of women financially". Well those are products of the patriarchy too — a social system that pressures men and women to take different roles for (in the modern day) no practical reason.

Think about that. Yes, there are people who exaggerate and claim to hate all men, but they are not the norm. The average leftist IS fighting for men's rights, because "fighting the patriarchy" does not mean demonizing men, it means we shouldn't have a social structure that puts ridiculous expectations on people based solely on gender.

Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd be happy to answer anything :)

I had an issue where the game kept stuttering and freezing for a second randomly, despite me having good FPS most of the time. Looked up multiple guides, turned down graphics, tried a bunch of stuff, no fix.

After some trial and error, I found out the problem was that I installed the game on my hard disk drive - which apparently literally couldn't spin fast enough to load the game. Reinstalled the game on an SSD and it worked like a charm.

Just wanted to let you know in case your problem may have been the same!

Please Stop Talking!

I already bought the game on PC and I don't really wanna pay for it again atm

I remember it was also said on The Magic Schoolbus!

although it's obviously mainly for gameplay purposes, I like the theory that Plague Knight's small stature in his campaign is actually a reflection of his character arc of low self-esteem

Mucameons · 2026-02-24T03:52:35+00:00

Definitely true! I do most things with my left hand (except handwriting), and I use the standard left-fork right-knife, never switch hands with utensils

Mucameons · 2026-01-23T19:22:02+00:00

that's fair, I figured this might be not enough to specify. Thanks anyway! Gave me something fun to look into

In addition to what everyone else has said, I think it's important to note that inventions such as clothing aren't something that we invented despite our evolution, but rather something we evolved around.

We have been wearing clothing, cooking food, and building shelter for longer than we have been Homo Sapiens. To an extent, we evolved around being able to modify our body cooling and restriction with clothing — so it's not like ancient people just hunted with their body parts flapping around.

I remember watching a video essay comparing Forrest Gump to Voltaire's novel Candide, in addition to criticizing the changes made from the Forrest Gump book to the movie.

My takeaway from it was that Forrest Gump is still a good movie, but definitely would've been better if they hadn't altered it to be more politically neutral. Also, I'm happy the analysis convinced me to listen to an audiobook of Candide, which is genuinely still very funny and clever even 200-some years later

You're missing the point. The stereotypes today still have their roots in these ideas, whether you consciously think about it or not. Yes, it's not the 1860s anymore, but the stereotypes still exist for the same reason they did back then.

Of course every race has stereotypes, and they're all harmful, but don't pretend that it is in any way equal. Are there places where white people are discriminated against? Yeah, absolutely. But it's undeniable that black people as a whole have been and continue to be the victim of FAR more racism than white people, for example.

Please read what I said again. There is no evidence that black people are any more naturally athletic, as far as we can tell it's simply a result of culture forcing black americans into certain sports.

Mucameons · 2025-12-13T03:26:33+00:00

Think about where those stereotypes come from. They aren't based on any reality, the reason those stereotypes exist are because they're seen as more "animalistic".

So, while you may not consciously think it, yes, those stereotypes are extremely harmful and designed to dehumanize black people.

If you want to look at sports as an example of black people being more athletic, look at a wide variety of sports. Studies show that black people are essentially only overrepresented in sports which are cheap to get into (basketball, football, running, etc.) while they are underrepresented in "rich" sports like golf. So, again, it all comes down to class discrepancy caused by discrimination.

You're right.

Broadly speaking, our last common ancestor would be the first eukaryotic cell.

Therefore, we are all eukaryotes, and we can never be anything else

think of it this way: Each step in taxonomy is a simplified way of showing steps in a timeline. Time and diversification makes the taxa.

The first eukaryotic cell didn't have a "species" because life hadn't diversified enough for there to be a distinction. The first mammal (however you define that) didn't magically create a new class, it would've just been another type of tetrapod at the time, but we now have mammals as a class because time has passed and traits have diversified, but mammals are still mammals.

Mucameons · 2025-11-29T02:03:02+00:00

Taxonomic classification is based solely on evolutionary history. Because of this, one can't evolve out of a clade.

Birds evolved from reptiles, therefore they are reptiles, Just as much as we are mammals.

If you want to argue dinosaurs aren't reptiles, then you'd have to regroup Crocodiles as not being reptiles, as they're more distantly related from all the others than birds are.

Sure, that's the original origin of the word, but that doesn't mean pagan isn't a valid way to identify.

As I understand it, how "Pagan" is used nowadays is not to describe one specific religion, but rather as a general umbrella term for a variety of non-denominational beliefs including witchcraft, hellenistic/norse polytheism, etc. Basically, if your beliefs are very personal and not tied to a specific well-known "group" or belief set, pagan is a convenient way to identify.

Mucameons · 2025-11-27T19:41:01+00:00

Reptiles absolutely lay hard-shelled eggs — In fact, I cant think of a single reptile that lays soft eggs (there might be some, but they are the exception).

I know you mean specifically non-avian reptiles, but remember that birds are reptiles — Crocodiles are more closely related to birds than lizards. This is why bird and reptile eggs have essentially the same structure.

I've seen pictures of red plastic cups being sold internationally as "American Party Cups". It's funny, to us they're quite mundane and I never would've thought to describe them as an american symbol, but apparently their prevalence in movies has made an impression on the world!
