That’s how you use the term because you don’t like those people.

I’ve heard people use the term to disparage Linus Torvalds and even Aaron Swartz because they didn’t like them.

People on HN thinking Apple should get into some kind of dick waving contest with an authoritarian government that rules over 1/6th of the global population and that supplies the labor to build their products and the materials in those products by implementing your guy’s pet issues is the height of fucking delusion.

At least try to pretend like you guys are thinking about situations in the real world.

Just so you know, Dems, leftists, progressives or whatever group you identify as will do so much better at appealing to men as a demographic whenever you guys are able to talk about men as a demographic without taking advantage of all these random opportunities to needlessly shit on virgins and short men.

Tesla’s been selling electric three row family vehicles for almost a decade now lol.

I don’t know anything specific about Meta’s AI, but this could easily turn out to be a case of a hamfisted attempt to over-correct by weighing the Asian part of the prompt so heavily it manages to cancel out the Caucasian part.

The real disingenuous part is where OP lied about the maintainer saying his patch was better.

It would be pretty bad if he said that, but he never did.

It is absolutely bizarre how many people I know that think social media companies should be able permanently ban or suspend users for literally any reason they want with no possible recourse that simultaneously think these companies shouldn’t be able to reclaim usernames without financial compensation.

> even in pornography with only a few minutes of grooming every day.

You’re either incredibly blessed or incredibly underestimating the barriers to entry to be successful as a male porn star.

Also Elon Musk and Donald Trump both have a shit ton of memes straight up body shaming both of them. Trump had literal fucking statues made with the sole purpose of showing him as fat and small dicked. People still often post the shirtless picture of Elon or the one of his hairline before the plugs to try to shame and discredit him. It’s absolutely wild and false to say no one gives a shit about it. His fans might not, but his fans don’t even care that he did a bunch of crypto scam shit, so that doesn’t really mean much.

He’s successful despite the body shaming, but women like Lizzo are wildly successful despite the body shaming they receive too.

Previous controversies include the subreddit dedicated to jailbait and on multiple occasions protecting abusers and pedophiles.

While you might be right, super fucked up if their users care more about third party apps being killed than their long past acceptance of child exploitation.

Even if he couldn’t, so what?

EV subsidies were made as a way for the government to encourage consumers to buy electric cars and encourage car producers to make electric cars. It’s not like they were made with the purpose of making Musk rich and literally any other car manufacturer or rich person wanting to make a car manufacture could have done the same. Should the US have never subsidized electric vehicles or should have all the car manufacturers have ignored the subsidies and continued to to completely ignore the EV market?

Complaining that someone filled a market niche that the government very intentionally created just seems so weird to me.

Nah dude, the huge companies that use record profits to buy back stock instead of giving raises to their employees struggling to afford their cost of living and who routinely pull shit like laying off and rehiring people to new positions so they have a reason not to give them raises and closing down stores that even discuss the idea of unionizing would totally draw the line at advertising at a company that has a CEO that follows rightoids instead of leftists.

If there’s one thing that massive for profit corporations can’t stand it’s capitalism.

Nope, they also conviently leave out that Errol was an anti-apartheid member of a city council and actively tried to abloish Apartheid. If Errol is to be believed, his role in the history of Apartheid is probably the most commendable thing about him.

Thank you for your understanding.

That’s a bad read. Wanting tips is a sign that they want more money, not that they’re not being paid enough.

I knew a tattoo artist that owned his own shop and made well over six digits in a town where the average income is barely 30k and he would bitch all the time about “getting stiffed” on tips whenever he did tattoos.

I mostly agree with this, but it’s missing some details in how many younger people actually behave versus what they believe. A lot of young men and women will claim to not be particularly attracted to femininity or masculinity or believe in traditional views on gender expression while being attracted almost exclusively people who do present traditionally gendered traits.

I’ve met so many young men who say they don’t particularly care if the woman they date are feminine while exclusively pursuing relationships with women who are petite, have long hair, shave all their body hair, dress in almost exclusively feminine clothes like mini skirts, wears a ton of makeup and has very feminine mannerisms. I’ve also met a lot of you women who would say the same about not caring about masculinity in the men they date and then exclusively date tall, muscular, hyper masculine jock types or the bad boy, rebel without a cause artsy types. You’re absolutely right that they’ve changed the definition of masculine and feminine, but they haven’t changed their preferences to match.

I think a big part of the gender disconnect in modern dating is that many men and women have divested themselves from their traditional gender roles while seeking out partners that largely still conform to their traditional gender roles.

I think it’s less an issue with the thread and more an issue with people in general. The amount of people who view themselves or want to be viewed as a member of a dominant mainstream culture that is trying to force others to assimilate to the mainstream culture is incredibly small. Almost everyone prefers to view themselves as the plucky rebels fighting for survival and what’s right. There’s more than a few former hippie boomers who still view themselves as part of a counterculture sticking it to the man as they use the money they get from their cushy VP of marketing position at a major bank to sue any developers that try to build affordable housing near their gorgeous McMansion.

My aunt went from burning American flags and marching in support of interracial marriage and civil rights to clutching her pearls about Marilyn Manson ripping up bibles and gay marriage becoming legal, but even as she supports censorship and state mandated injustice, she will always view herself as the protestor that fought against censorship and state mandated injustice.

Even I find myself occasionally saying things about zoomers that sounds just like stuff my dad used to say about me and it’s a lot easier to rationalize it as “no, TikTok is actually hurting kid’s attention spans, it’s different this time” than admit that I might be acting just as silly as he was when he said exactly the same thing about my Game Boy.

Sid Vicious, Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper and many other artists who were undebatably part of counterculture very often did stuff to intentionally offend members of mainstream culture.

Manson did a ton of stuff to piss off Christians and rightoids. While it might seem hilarious with modern day sensibilities, Rage saying fuck on BBC live did offend quite a lot of people. Hell, Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux used to regularly wear literal Swastikas for the shock value.

None of this shit is new.

You don’t get it man. The counter culture is cool, hip and trendy and I’m a cool, hip and trendy kind of guy. I’m part of the counterculture, and I’m not part of 4chan, so obviously they’re not counterculture.

The fact that my views align much closer than theirs with many mainstream political parties, almost all of academia, most major media outlets and most major corporation’s stated values is because they all are also part of the counter culture now.

There’s literally no way that an awesome, too cool rebel like myself somehow became part of the mainstream instead of the hip and trendy counter culture movement.
