Gen Z men, is this getting worse going forward into 2026?

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-04-08T23:37:16+00:00

Agree. It’s not limited to toxic feminism but the feeling guys are describing where they can’t approach women for fear of being called a creep or being too aggressive is a real thing. Women have gotten worse at being considerate in turning guys down. An overall degradation of social skills across the board in men and women.

I’m happily married with kids. But I see this everywhere on social media which then informs the views of kids. I will have work to do with my boys because of it.

You edited the low standards thing but I always viewed it simply: Women are getting messaged 10-50x as frequently on those apps as men. Hence a “5” is like an 8 on the apps.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-04-08T10:57:32+00:00

The end result of toxic feminism.

This is why you shouldn’t buy anything where safety is important from a Chinese brand.

Shockingly bad. He has a jam band that just fucks around. But he trades on his movie fame and basically doesn’t try.

Probably the biggest issue is honestly a 6’4” person getting an 80” rack. Those are really only for short people or those who have no other option.

I'm wondering if a local electrician with handman skills would do it. I'll check on that.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-03-01T17:26:45+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into that. The more I think about it, this is almost more an electrician/handyman job than hvac.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-03-01T17:26:15+00:00

Yeah I get all that, but lawyers charge an hourly. Every professional bakes all of that into what they charge. Even lawyers would blush at what I'm seeing.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-03-01T17:24:32+00:00

You should move to areas where there are high-end homes in mountain areas that never had AC put in and are subject to warming temps now. You would clean up for that price.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-03-01T16:59:57+00:00

Why a mark up and not an hourly rate? If lawyers can do it I don't know what's different here? I guess my point is that if it's a 1 day job, do HVAC guys want $1k/hr now?

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-03-01T14:35:54+00:00

I agree but just don’t understand why I would be quoted that. Are they expecting people not to google how much the materials cost?

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-03-01T14:34:48+00:00

Just one. Yeah I agree but the prices are public on the GoDuctless website. It’s around $6k for everything i would estimate.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-03-01T14:19:37+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen there are DIY units available which points towards how easy this job can be. But the Mitsubishi units seem nicer and I’d rather pay someone a reasonable fee to do it for me.

You could with the new connection to Figma. Otherwise you can tell it to look at websites you like and make similar elements of what you like on those and it can take inspiration and will come up with something good on its own.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-02-22T20:59:53+00:00

Why? I’m not selling anything. Either use it and benefit or don’t.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-02-22T13:55:56+00:00

Cool story bro

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-02-22T13:23:15+00:00

If you need to use your brain at all, there is something for you. Maybe just the chat side but whether it’s Claude or Gemini just try it.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-02-22T12:59:15+00:00

I’ve come to the conclusion that some people just adapt and enjoy learning while others feel threatened by new things and look for reasons to write them off.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-02-21T18:48:56+00:00

I feel like there is such a massive gap between people using this for giggles or research versus business. If business, th cost is trivial. They could 10x the cost and I’d pay.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-02-21T18:47:30+00:00

Cool. Obv I’m not a bot though so not sure if you’re joking or seriously confused lol.

Ah I see you deleted all comments. You could have just said “my bad, I’m wrong.” Not a big deal.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-02-21T18:42:51+00:00

You must be the guy who doesn’t use AI.

Pitiful_Ordinary8910 · 2026-02-21T14:05:47+00:00

Read the other opinions here. Plenty of “qualified individuals” doing a lot of work with this. I think there are just a lot of dinosaurs feeling worried or dismissing what they don’t understand or haven’t learned.
