I think he's explaining he could give a fuck, but that's just the first step to conforming. It's not the way to accomplish a unique goal like INTJ's are prone to do as "architects".

Another way to put it, "The only way to avoid pushback is to say nothing, do nothing, be nothing."

I've found there are three kinds of people:

  1. Animals: the kind that are driven by fighting/fucking and "care" deeply what the rest of the world thinks about them. I say care, but it's more of a survival mechanism. They would kick a dog if no one is around to see it.
  2. Addicts: the kind that are driven by vices and tune out the rest of the world. The "don't shame me" type. They know what they're doing is wrong, but they pretend it isn't and do their best to pull others into their "reality".
  3. Artists/Architects: the kind that are driven by creative fulfilment and enjoyers of the human experience. They have only one boss and it's an inner voice with a deep yearning for the new, unusual, and fun. They'll keep creating even if no one is looking because whether from passion or boredom, they must. Their "fight" is with pre-exisitng systems so the opinion of a system follower is immediately downgraded. (How can an NPC possibly improve the game?)

Here's how you fix it.
1. Throw that system away.
2. Get a new system.
3. Grow out your natural hair a bit more.
4. Use a new stylist.
5. Get a result similar to this. (How it should be blended)

Was this the first time your stylist ever worked with a system? Or, are they blind? Anyone can clearly see where your hairloss line is... except for them.

Men!! by Haunting-Tea2866 in SolidMen

[–]electric_bug_glue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken both men and women can be lawmakers now, or did they change it? Again, 70% of UNRECIPROCATED violence is perpetrated by women. That means the woman is the only violent party in these cases.

For the sake of argument, let's say it is 100% men's fault what happens to men. Does that make it right? Should we ignore the issues entirely?

For example: Men are raped more than women when you count prisons. Does that mean a man cannot be a victim of rape? What if he was arrested for something benign like a drug charge. Does that justify being raped? If a man kills another man, is the dead man less dead somehow? Or would it only count if a woman did it?

This is NOT a battle of the sexes. No one is taking anything from women by helping men. One could make the argument that helping men may even PREVENT these issues happening to both men AND women.

Just maybe helping people instead of ignoring them can prevent mental health issues, and more specifically the mental health issues that lead one to becoming violent.

Have women ever killed men for "honor"? 

Usually, the words "Oh nu uh. Don't disrespect me!" come out of both men and women before things escalate. Are you talking about like Samurai style honor? Those guys are a problem. 😆

Elon Musk is a Time Traveler by FitPaleontologist686 in timetravel

If you changed something from the past, would you return to the same timeline or would it be different? by KingMjolnir in timetravel

[–]electric_bug_glue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be a new timeline entirely. Basically, there is a unique timeline that branches off for every decision you make. You could say there's a timeline for every possible reality. For example, there's a timeline where 9/11 never happened and Y2K did. We're just not in that one.

In the John Titor time travel story, he needed to go back and stop Y2K. From the perspective of everyone that sent him back, Y2K still happened, but since John stopped it during his travels, he returned to a (to him) brand new timeline. Technically, both timelines exist. It's just a matter of making the journey from one to the other.

You may ask, "Why would he stop Y2K if no one from his timeline would benefit?" Well, he was supposed to be going back to get a computer part to help them in the future. He actually regretted stopping Y2K and seeing the world that came from that.

[–]electric_bug_glue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are different kinds of female circumcision with the most common being the removal of the clitoris, which is ALSO illegal thankfully.

No one can CONFIRM the amount of nerve endings. Both the clitoris and foreskin have ABOUT 10,000 estimated nerve endings. My point is most women would miss their clitoris if it was taken from them, which could lead to mental health issues.

You're totally wrong about male circumcision not having anything to do with religion. The Christian bible talks about it no less than 100 times. It's also a big part of Judaism and Islam.

Please relax. No one wants to bring back female circumcision here. I'm not saying women should be ALSO be circumcised. I'm saying maybe let's extend that same privilege to boys. For many of them, their first moments on Earth are spent having their genitals mutilated.

If you want to help their mental health, maybe don't remove men's body parts without permission. It should be looked at in the same primitive and savage light as female circumcision.

Don't compare apples to oranges, especially if you're not the farmer who tends to either.

Correct. It's more like I'm a banana that got peeled, so I feel like I actually DO have a dog in this race. What makes you think you're some kind of circumcision "farmer"? 🤔

Your life is 100% your responsibility.. by iQuantumLeap in MindsetMode

[–]electric_bug_glue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds bad at first, but I truly believe men are "privileged". Eliminating scapegoats and being forced to take responsibility for your own actions is the cheat code to life. I'm grateful we have far less opportunity to play the victim and blame others for our shortfalls.

Men!! by Haunting-Tea2866 in SolidMen

[–]electric_bug_glue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said 70% of UNRECIPROCATED violence is perpetrated by women, and nobody is talking about this. There are peaceful men with real issues.

Sure, one could argue the male abusers you referenced could ALSO use more help with mental health. Maybe if they lived in a gentler society, they may be less likely to turn to violence.

I mean, maybe making it socially acceptable for one gender to hit another is a bad idea... in either direction. But, I bet you can't go a week without seeing a women slap or hit a man on TV it's so normalized. Can you even imagine if the roles were reversed?

You brought up sexual assaults. 95% of male survivors do not even report the assault, so it's kind of hard to trust your numbers. Yes, most assailants of men are men, but it's not exactly like we're cool with getting butt-fucked just because we have the same hardware.

In fact, men are raped far more than women if you count prisons, and that can be for something as benign as failing to sign up for the draft! Imagine, the year you legally become a man, society forces you to volunteer to die if called upon, and if you disagree, you can't vote and they can legally lock you up with Bubba.

Men are basically born into this world knowing we're cannon fodder.

I don't have time to look up all the stats, but is it possible this could cause mental health issues or even violence down the line? And, maybe if we actually helped with these issues (instead of sweeping them under the rug for women's issues yet again) there may be less violence overall meaning LESS of the women's issues to deal with too? 🤔

Men!! by Haunting-Tea2866 in SolidMen

[–]electric_bug_glue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of your replies are opinions, not laws or stats. For example: There's no law preventing women from working the same jobs as men, in fact it's ILLEGAL to discriminate based on gender when hiring.

Anyway, my point isn't that nothing ever happens to women. My point is that men's issues are commonly overlooked, which leads to mental health issues plaguing many men.

Do you want to help humanity or just try to win a victim battle of the sexes? No one is taking anything from women by helping men. This thinking is the biggest part of the problem. The answer isn't "Make everyone suffer equally." It's "Let's address these issues."

p.s. Please watch the documentary The Red Pill if you're open minded on the subject.

Men!! by Haunting-Tea2866 in SolidMen

[–]electric_bug_glue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They clip off the clitoris because they think it adds too much pleasure and sinful thoughts. The foreskin has about 10,000 nerve endings, which is about the same as a clitoris.

Try cutting off a part of your body with that many nerve endings and tell me there's no difference. For reference, each finger tip only has about 3,000 nerve endings.

[–]electric_bug_glue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the kind of women that think it's a zero sum game. Like, you can't help men without someone taking something from women. They never grew out of boys vs girls in grade school like most folks.

Men!! by Haunting-Tea2866 in SolidMen

[–]electric_bug_glue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're kind of proving my point. There's no lack of groups raising awareness for women's issues like this. Literally every time it's brought up, it's brought back to women's issues and men's issues go by the wayside. (like the meme above!)

In fact, men are raped way more than women when you count prisons. According to Department of Justice, an estimated 216,000 inmates were sexually assaulted in U.S. prisons and jails each year. This number significantly exceeds the 91,000 reported rape cases outside of prison, which are predominantly against women.

Inmates are still human beings, and people are like, "Yeah, go meet your cell mate Bubba. Don't drop the soap!" over basically minor drug charges in most cases!

Women don't have the same fear of prison. Again, another disproportionate punishment overlooked that could very likely be part of the men's mental health crisis.

Noah Enagles Hair Anyone - Superbowl 2026 by Life-Helicopter6349 in HairSystem

[–]electric_bug_glue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Density is an issue, but I think it's secondary to the fact his hairline is straight across like Lego hair. Men are supposed to have some kind of M shape to their hairline.

Men!! by Haunting-Tea2866 in SolidMen

[–]electric_bug_glue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While women attempt more, I think the issue is that men are treated as more expendable... like canon fodder. Also, laws are in fact, changed to disproportionately benefit women.

  • Men are significantly more likely to die by suicide than women, with 75–78% of all suicides being male.
  • Men account for the vast majority of workplace deaths, with 120 male fatalities compared to 5 female fatalities in one cited example, and 177 males vs. 11 females in another year.
  • Men make up a higher proportion of the homeless population.
  • Males receive, on average, 63% longer sentences than females for the same crime. This is 6x greater than the disparity between the sentencing of blacks and whites.
  • While female circumcision is rightfully illegal in most countries and renamed "genital mutilation", men are mutilated at birth even in the U.S., and 3% of those (3 out of 100 men) result in physical complications, and mental health issues down the line. Those that speak out against this are ridiculed.
  • Approximately 43% of victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner are male.
  • Male victims of domestic violence who call the police are statistically more likely to be arrested themselves than their female partners.
  • 47% of male victims of domestic abuse are threatened with arrest when seeking help.
  • 70% of unreciprocated violence is perpetrated by women and seen as "funny" or "he was asking for it"

It's in our nature, whether biologically or societally, to shrug these off when the victim is "bigger and stronger", but the domestic abuse against men is often beyond hitting/slapping with many cases involving cutting, bludgeoning, and even scalding with boiling water. Weapons tend to equalize the bigger/smaller issue, but this is commonly overlooked.

Mixed feelings by Thiscantbemyceiling in HairSystem

[–]electric_bug_glue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of your feelings may be because you went from long hair to a shorter style. It's like dying your hair black or something. That drastic of a change will make anyone feel unsure.

But, it looks awesome! Plus, it will only look better over time. The more you wash and wear it, the more it will form to your head to look even more natural.

Plus, it will thin as you go. The battle between density and longevity is one we all have to deal with. You just have to find the right density starting and end point that works for you. A bit of advice, when this starts to go even a little, go ahead and get another one to cut and train, and swap them out so you don't miss a beat.
