I'm too lazy to look it up. What's that one mean?

I'm sure there'd be a comparable number of "Egypt-o-boos" if its history had been as well documented and directly influential on the evolution of western society.

I'm not sure, but I think it's in regards to the national guard being called up to protect ICE agents against protests in California.

Would love a more definite answer if OP/other lemmings has a better answer.

I pride myself in getting the majority of the memes here, but I do not get this one.

Can I get an explanation?

Found the paragraph for the lazy:

Although Keyes doesn’t know where some of the percentages mentioned in the report came from, she says, she did recently publish a paper in the journal JAMA Network Open that came to roughly the same conclusions as what was in the text.

Came here to say super similar.

Also, since when is gap insurance $30 per month? I want to say I paid a flat $300 for it on my last car (back in 2020, just before the pandemic) for the life of the loan (6 years / 72 months)

Yeah, I don't necessarily disagree with anything you're saying in this or your other comment (to be absolutely clear, I'm saying I mostly agree with you). While I don't think the problems are necessarily systemic, I do agree there's a lot of folks who like to beat up on dudes for existing as a dude.

until I make a vent post

I think this is where I got the wrong impression. I assumed you were trying to hit at a solution (beyond "everyone should be more cognizant of how they talk to people), but it this is just you venting frustrations, then I hope it helped and I hope you don't get any backlash from letting out your frustrations. Lol, I don't know that I know if a better place for it, but I don't think this is your best venue.

"men.... Negative think"

One last thing though: what do you mean by this? The way its framed, it sounds like you mean it as a literal quote....but I'm not sure what context that could exist in to make that make sense?

First off, thanks for an honest and non-shitpost response (there's got to be a better way to phrase that but its not coming to me atm).

I don't think the problem is as severe or systemic as you're making it out to be. I think if the individual you're speaking to lashes out at the mention of you being a man, then that individual is an asshole and that's just kinda the end of it.

Can you give some concrete examples you've experienced/seen of this? I'm unfamiliar with the community rules on linking to other posts (and app doesn't let me save comments drafts to double check), but if that's allowed and you can link to examples of this (since it seems like you're referencing online interactions), I'd appreciate it.

inb4 trying to engage with an obvious bait post

I'm not sure what you mean by "acknowledge men". Can you expand on that?

I would agree that the left tends to pick on men, but you seem to be probing at something other than "the left picks on men while the right doesn't", and I'm not clear what that is.

But as an extra layer, weren't Dumbledore and Co in on Sirius being framed? I thought it was low key known that Sirius "being a bad guy" was just Ministry propaganda or whatever.

Didn't bother saving off / making note of where I saw it, but was just browsing the comments of another thread and saw someone saying the only answer to anything slightly conservative is to "ridicule and make fun of them". This tactic seems to cause middle of the road ish people bunker down instead of being converted, which only contributes to the extremism we see today (at least that's the way I see it).

As overused as I think the saying has become, I def agree its important to occasionally go out and touch grass some times.
