Yesterday a therapist suggested that I could try going to a men's divorce support group
"I, uh... look I'm sorry but why would that even be gendered? That seems kinda dumb."
"Ah! Well. Lots of people who are getting divorced, they often become unreasonably angry when they interact with someone the same gender as their ex-spouse. So gender segregation is usually the least risky way to organize a support group."
So like that group's gotta be like an MRA soft pitch right?
Yeah, clearly part of it is affording men a space where they feel comfortable saying ridiculous shit about women
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
Pfff. The Culture would pacify both in a few days and probably without even having to inflict casualties.
Granted, in the case of the Federation, Contact would probably just give a series of lectures on how the prime directive is bad before trying to convince the Federation to join up.
The Culture would just peacefully assimilate the entire Federation because it's the Federation without the dogmatic hangups or prudishness
With the empire they'd just chip it apart piece by piece as planetary systems were like "hey we'd like to join" and they fell under the umbrella of protection (they wouldn't have to fight the empire since their technology is magic to even star wars' magic technology)
I think Star Trek missed out by never having the Federation encounter another version of itself that was more benevolent. The closest we came was the Dominion, which is the Federation but evil
Contact with the United Federation of Planets was carried out by GSV We All Know What You're Doing in the Holodecks.
The Federation joined in record time. We All Know... stated afterwards that it had never seen such a delightful collection of degenerates.

Chat, I've installed Linux (okay, Ubuntu) a few times and helped my old office's one man IT department reimage some computers, that means I'm qualified for basically any IT related job, right.
Oh and most importantly I'm good at googling.
Can you at least describe a problem accurately and remember to include the actual error message when you escalate a problem to the next tier?

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

This is what I do to Sims
Ah, the good old painting goblin.
the last game I had, I had a sim business owner who sold paintings in his gallery, the basement was full of artists churning out the work endlessly. Once I let them out for a while and he got one of them pregnant, and back downstairs they went. This continued, the paint shop owner obtained immortality from fulfilling aspirations until the artists, and eventually his own children (also artist slaves), died of old age. By then he was rich as a god and no longer needed them

Well, the first three minutes of this video perfectly sum up the vast bulk of my negativity about everything and everyone.
I am finding this fascinating. I do miss Colorado as their feels more freedom of movement and freedom from people than it feels here.
Agreed on the fascinating. I haven't watched many of this guy's videos in the past, but I really dig his super in-depth examination of whatever topic he's writing on. Also, I am pretty sure I recognize that bit of road from the Oregon Coast at around 10:30.

My favorite thing about the Sims is how it inevitably turns nasty. Whether you get bored and so you just build a wall around your Sims or build a room designed to be set on fire or build a pool with only a diving board and no ladder out, or you enslave somebody for money, or create someone whose sole purpose is the love slave of your main Sim, we all do something horrible to these poor people. Every one of us.

Precisely. It's better to be a suicide statistic than it is to risk the danger that a man might let their anger out productively in a group setting.

The lack of good support groups for men and the previlence of bad support groups for men are directly related.
It is simultaneously true that men in particular need more access to focused quality social and psychological care and that most groups that focus on men exclusively are garbage and reinforce self destructive behaviors.
