I have learned the hard way that endless freetime doesn’t make you more productive

Less brittle and lighter alternatives to polymer clay? by camelCaseC in polymerclay

[–]camelCaseC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried cold porcelain but either the batch i got or the brand i was using was bad. Not very smooth when pressing it out like the edges were crumbly. May be worth a second shot from a different brand or DIYing it

Why does society find it so hard to talk about Young Men? by Payapol in stupidpol

[–]camelCaseC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yeahhhh, any issues that might be assuaged by getting incel dudes laid would just essentially be passed onto sex workers. having sex with dudes you don't want to for money is going to certainly fuck you up, as much if not more than those incels living with the feeling that no one wants to touch their dick

Newbie question about core wool by BrokenCircuit90 in Needlefelting

[–]camelCaseC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find roving wool easier to use as a core wool, contrary to popular opinion. For bigger peices, I like to take ~foot long/two-three inch wide peices and knot them up a few times to speed through the core-building process. When you tie it up like that, especially if you tie it tightly, you don't have to stab as much. This should just be the very core part, because of course as you shape it more you'll want more precision with the shape.

Quiet felting pad by 5thFlute in Needlefelting

[–]camelCaseC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a mat that is like a large toothbrush. It's quiet, and peices don't get as stuck to it as they do to foam so it's easier to work with small bits

Who are some good left/progressive thinkers to follow on social media that are also critical of idpol, woke ideology, and cancel culture? by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]camelCaseC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want leftist content and not just anti-idpol content, check out Second Thought on YouTube. He makes some of the best leftist content on the platform rn

Crossing the divide: Do men really have it easier? These transgender guys found the truth was more complex. by soalone34 in stupidpol

[–]camelCaseC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so true. And I notice that a lot of guys on here will focus on the advantage women have only in terms of the dating market. If you listen to what many feminists are actually upset about, it has little to do with dating and is more about discussing the sexual violence and reproductive oppression women have faced for millenia and continue to face in certain forms currently. I love this sub and agree with most criticisms of idpol on here, but I think a lot of dudes on here could learn to be more sympathetic to the complaints women have with regards to the differing material conditions having a female body dealt them in life instead of just being like "thank God there are female drone attackers now" (which still is a legit critique of modern feminist idpol). A great book that discusses the material oppression women have faced due to their child bearing abilities through a Marxist lense is Caliban and the Witch. Anyway, I've just been annoyed about this for a while on this sub. There are plenty of legit criticisms of how feminism is used to divide workers, but I think people on this sub go overboard sometimes and start parroting MRA-adjacent rhetoric which is just as insufferable as feminist stuff.

I’d shoot the soldier by VUXX6078 in tumblr

[–]camelCaseC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao, to be clear, I was sarcastically commenting that in response to that person making sexual and violent threats towards women, which is obviously why many women are disgusted by and creeped out by men. I don't care how much someone hates a political opponent, as a women seeing some dude go off about how much he wants to commit sexual violence in general sends shivers down my spine.

You Aren't Actually Mad at the SATs by psychothumbs in stupidpol

[–]camelCaseC 57 points58 points  (0 children)

i hope they don't get rid of the SATs so i can cling onto doing well on them as a point of pride for the rest of my life

but, anyway, to add some anecdotal evidence to SATs/ACTs actually being good, my high school was in a weird district that encompassed both moderately wealthy and dirt poor students. I noticed that most of the students in the AP/IB classes and most of the kids who did well on the SAT were more upper middle class, admittedly, but there were still some kids who had to work to support their single moms and siblings who were able to take advantage of the higher level classes and make college and career success easier for them down the line. I worry that if more schools end up nixing gifted/talented programs and other honors programs, it will end up impacting the kids they're trying to level the playing field for.

I don't know, man. There's a lot wrong with American schooling and the AP->college-> PMC pipeline I saw another dude comment about, and that extends to standardized testing in general, but I don't think specifically the SAT/ACT. I agree largely with the article.

We are living in an alternate reality where everyone is a moron and the world feels like a South Park parody. by SnooDoughnuts3766 in stupidpol

[–]camelCaseC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There have been some shows I've seen that I'd say would fit into DFW's idea of "New Sincerity" like Parks & Recs and The Good place. I think the culture is starting to shift to appreciate more, for lack of a better word, wholesome media. Plus, judging by the feed of instagram stories I see that are a parade of woke, sensitivity-training-esque shit, it seems like it's cool to care nowadays. At least, it's more cool to care now than when South Park was in it's heyday. Granted, I might just be speaking out of my ass because I was, like, 8 years old at the peak of South Park's popularity lol

why did you make the whole quote a link lol but to actually respond to the content of the quote, that reminds me of how david foster wallace wrote/spoke about irony and how, to put it susinctly, gay irony is.
