You clearly didn't read our comments here then. We're supportive of men.
I mean, they said, "you guys", not "OP", but uh ...
... yeah, I'm all about "dude" and "guys" as gender-neutral, have no idea your pronouns, and don't even remember what the Wild Feed community is supposed to be about just this moment. I'll show myself out. As in, that's the closest I've got to a contribution; I'm not packing my bags like "Surely" promised they are, no matter how much of my life I've spent as an unemployed moocher, and mad about it.
I originally made it for all the news sources the other major journalism coms kept removing. Now it's just a lax news community.
I mean, "Wild Feed" spells it out nicely in my book, but what's-their-face was just so vehement about "well known bias" or whatever other "obvious" non-sense, the only chill I'm taking for granted is my own lol.
The way they ascribed it to "this site", and pre-emptively denied anyone who might otherwise consider it the option of agreeing with any one of their points, seemed pretty obvious they were just fishing with non-sense to me. Kinda shit I might write if I were the one who secretly hated NEETs.
That was wild. I don't usually get crash-outs over here in the quieter corner of political discourse. I hope they find their way out.
The other users here are well known for our feminism and for pushback from some lemmings because of it.
It shouldn't amuse me as much as it does how they seem to believe they are scoring points by calling out pushback in advance. Looks like a self-own, in my book.
Why are you so afraid to interact with me directly lmfao weirdest users on this site I swear
Yeah I'm getting owned by a bunch of emotional lemmings for sure bro faaak they got me good
Now you're insta downvoting me HAHA fucking emotions off the charts, cry more buddy
The only one around here with feelings and not facts is you dude. You cite no sources, and just allow your feelings to create your comments, thereby allowing you to fall into multiple logical fallacies. You're no Spock or Data, no matter what lies you tell yourself.
i cant tell if that guy is defending women, or men.
Why would I assume you were still here to reply if I did so? Here's me apologizing for taking you at your word, Not.
On a more realistic note, why would I encourage you to discredit yourself further by replying to me replying to you? The fact that you can't understand that would benefit no-one, least-of-all yourself, only confirms I was right to approach things the way I did.
Lastly, I've been a little busy watching Shimoneta, stuffing my face, and washing my laundry over the last 45 minutes to go "insta downvoting". Even your average unemployed dude is apparently too busy with video-games for that level of loser-dom, but since you asked so nicely, I guess I can spare two or three downvotes on my way back to what I was doing.
Hey hold this for me real quick thanks
For the record, mine had been the only up-vote your top-level comment recieved, and mine the only downvotes on Malyca and Velma's replies to it. Ciao!
Maybe because you just announced how much you hate it here?
Nice just replied to the wrong guy here and he insta blocked me XD reply wasn't even meant for him but he took it to heart, sensitive AF I guess
Psh I was being nice to you but oh well.
Have the day you deserve.
Originally dude is gender neutral. A dude is someone that knows nothing about living on a working farm or ranch. Hence the tourist traps called Dude Ranches that were popular in the early to mid 20th century.
Preaching to the choir lol
I made the comment for the young'uns. One of the interesting things I discovered in Debate Club was that people watching the debate are swayed by calm rational arguments, and the crowd will side with the person that makes the most sense to them. In modern times many people have an inherent, though it may be tenuous, sense of logical arguments vs fallacies and deflection. This worked just as well, if not better, when I was accosted by proselytizing Christians on the sidewalk in downtown of multiple cities.
guy/guys is also neutral too.
Nah this is my last day on this shithole website and you would not imagine the specimens I have interacted with on this website with my 2 accounts and how they've all collectively behaved to me, couldn't care less anymore but if you're normal and sane yourself then good for you pal, I would advise you to run from this place asap before you get slowly mindfucked by them and also end up in fantasy land yourself
Had people unironically to the point of refusing to agree with me on the sky being blue lmao, emotional AF community of lemmings
It's like any online forum type space. You gotta find your niche if you're going to have a good time here.
I'm sorry your experience has been frustrating so far.
That's alright I'm a big boy I can take the internet words, just a waste of time to continue on this irrelevant softie platform so fuck it eh I'll go out with a bang on here why not
Well, cheers I guess lol
If you come back, I promise I'll only argue about feminism and not the color of the sky hahaha
I love you. Not in my normal creepy way, just in an "I see what you did there" way.
You're no big boy. You can't take a single amount of facts overriding your feelings, so you run away like the kindergatener that you never actually learned how to be. You don't know the basic rules of society, which is why you have been so easily duped by the liars, thieves, and pedophiles, that run and own everything, and are scared now that we now KNOW, YOU/THEY AREN'T LIKE US. You support pedos, that means you're a wannabe pedo.
I am swayed by your calm, rational argument.
Rational? yes. Calm and unemotional? not exactly. I swore an oath to Humanity, not just The Constitution to defend them both from all imminent threats, both domestic and foreign.
Watching the people who are supposed to be in charge of things tearing down the fundamental bedrocks of the oldest democracy, and one of the oldest countries, on Earth that still exists in its original/current form, makes me want to start using the fourth box of democracy against the Epstien Class.
You and me, both. Outside, I'm rational. Inside, I'm a swarm of murder hornets with my sights set on those perpetuating this hellscape. It didn't have to be this way.
Well I sincerely hope that you, like I was, were trained by the military to engage, eliminate, and evaporate.
I am a USAF veteran, good call. I'm just much better with logistics and planning.
Former Navy Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor here. They issued me S.E.A.L. bodyguards. I learned everything I could from any special forces operater I could. Including signing up for voluntary Army Ranger Paratrooper training that was available on a neighboring base. Also any explosives training I could acquire. When you're a Navy Captain, you kinda get to write your own orders, provided you have a bullshit excuse to be taking that training, and the proper level of clearance.
Dude, that is so fucking cool. For real. Also, your writing style comes across as succinct and articulate so I pegged you for teaching or intelligence work. Very nice to meet you and thank you for your service and to the training of highly skilled nuclear personnel!
To be totally honest, nuclear reactors are some of the most mundane and routine things on earth, until they aren't. My job was literally to train people to make that job as boring and routine as possible, and to follow The Book written by Admiral Rickover. Cool doesn't exactly apply to the job. Responsible is more accurate.
My dad is a retired civilian nuclear trainer. Wrote the lessons and simulator scenarios. Was always neat to see his work area. All the technology in the world and it still makes me laugh to think it's all just to make a spot of tea by boiling water!
Oh, and if I'm not misremembering the above comment chain, you are set to retire soon, yes? Early congratulations if so!
I'm set to retire in the civilian world, not the military. I left the Navy after 6 years the moment I had my GI Bill and college money. I do know for a fact that they really wanted me back, and offered almost triple my military pay to get me to be an instructor as a civilian.
I wasn't allowed to protest as a military personnel. That's something I have need doing since I was 6-7 years old on my own because I have severe ADD, and ODD.
I'm retiring as a computer geek and farmer. I build custom Linux PC towers, and grow marijuana, though I'm looking into buying a few thousand acres of California Desert to turn into a 10 GW power station so we have no more excuses to take Diablo Canyon offline.
As I said sarcastically in another thread, "I was very disappointed to find out that my PVE setup uses a mini boiler and turbine to make electricity."
You just described what MSMSM has done to you. This place is a bastion of intelligence and research, you just don't care about actual knowledge, just your feelings over facts.
We don't need or want you here if this is the type of behavior you are going to engage in and exhibit. We welcome debate. We do not welcome lies and logical fallicies, which are all the tools you have in your toolkit.
