Rage bait…

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Looked up this fool on social and you guessed it! He's super cringe with his wannabe lifestyle posts.

I had my son at 28, not by 24. Speedrun: FAILED.

Oh, and wrote my first novel at 50. Also FAILED, apparently.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

A novelist?? What a disappointment! /s

(But seriously, congrats, that's no easy feat!)

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago

My ancestors are ashamed.

(And thanks. :) )

Why does he want women to marry several kids?

[–] whitecollarcry@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

the sleepy right's agenda is only satiated with children

[–] arendjr@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago

I think it’s good for people to have children. At least one and preferably no more than two.

If we contain population growth, the riches already created are for the taking for generations to come and the planet finally gets a rest.

It does require a reckoning with the capitalist elite that would like to produce anyway, but I feel that may be coming regardless of our feelings towards children.

Dude about to discover the “Male Loneliness epidemic”

[–] SpongyAneurysm@feddit.org 15 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Dude's just trying to coerce 18*-24 year-olds into having sex with him.

It's not very effective.

* Lets give him the benefit of the doubt.

And these same people who are MGTOW, or "men going their own way", are obsessed talking shit about women.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

it's "look at me !! ..I don't need you ! .. ... look at meeeeee"

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Right? If you have to tell people you're alpha, you ain't. Much less if you make it the only aspect of your personality.

[–] JackBinimbul@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Guarantee you he still thinks they are failures. His dick goes limp the moment he sees a woman with a job.

A good place to drop a reminder to people that MILLIONS of blue-check twitter users are completely fake, they make American-looking profiles and names and then retweet and post tons of propaganda and rage-bait for engagement, because the couple dollars they make on a successful post is enough to make a living in India, where a majority of these people live.

No hate on India, every country has it's share of people who are just trying to get by. But for the USA this is really bad because it means we are letting our entire society be influenced by people who have no stake in our future. Elon set this up on purpose because he's a spiteful, mentally-deficient incel who hates humanity broadly because his tiny dick is broken.

The best thing you can do is tell people to get off Twitter, no matter who they are. Tell conservatives too if you know any, the fact that most users are foreigners in disguise is a good enough real fact that should discourage them from using the site too.

More info on Elon having a broken dick please

Natural selection. I hope he enjoys his self made “male loneliness” epidemic

[–] Rezurektme@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Welp. Seems I've already failed at life. Can't go any lower than that. Guess I'll just go live how I want now.

[–] songwriterallnighter@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

Lol. Lucky you.

[–] elbiter@lemmy.world 36 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Tired of these see what the moron said reposts. All they do is promoting the moron.

[–] seerdomin1983@lemmy.ca 14 points 18 hours ago

Don't feed the trolls aka don't take the engagement bait.

[–] Sharlot@lemmy.world 25 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

People grow, contribute, and succeed on their own timelines. There’s no single deadline for a meaningful life.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Well no... There is a deadline, it's called death.

Basically anytime before that is preferable really.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 19 points 19 hours ago

Related: Gertrude Bell, mountain climber, archaeologist and overall badass british lady that helped shape the middle east post WW1. Despite being a woman, she managed to earn the respect of several nomad arab tribes, you know, those that see women as a man's property? Those. To the point that, when she died, they all came to her burial and ensured she was treated like a queen.

A very good, 3h17m doc on her life - https://youtu.be/anjha4JNAWg

I don't like this logic. It implies that a person's value depends on their achievements. The only difference between the two is what the most important achievements are. Ultimately, this reinforces the right-wing logic that there are people of different values.

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 22 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (4 children)

I would say starting an argument from a point of view which the other is guaranteed to agree with is a great tool to convince people.

In this case it's pretty obvious that people who say shit like "women only exist to bare children" will also look up to people with great achievements to their name. As such these two beliefs can be played against eachother.

If it won't convince the original bum saying the stupid, it will be a very spectacular way to disarm their logic in front of other people with similar but not so extreme opinions.

No-one has any biological job. Live how you want.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 46 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Even if we had it, imagine how small your life is if you actually believe we are born to do a biological job.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 52 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I was put here to add carbon to the air and convert food into shit!

[–] i_love_FFT@jlai.lu 22 points 21 hours ago

My job is to increase the entropy of the universe faster.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 28 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Imagine if we flipped the tables. If it's all on women to have and raise kids and nothing more, wouldn't that mean a man's job is to get laid/donate sperm, impregnate someone once, and that's it? If that's all there is and he's fulfilled his role, there's no need to stay alive after that. Like a male bee, exploding after mating. Why bother with society, hobbies, learning and growing? OP's "job" as a man is nothing more than to literally fuck off and die, mission complete.

Obviously I don't believe that, just taking his argument to its logical conclusion. I've heard people say that women are just for making babies so many times in my life, but I've never heard men's role put in the same terms.

It sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous. We're all so much more than our biological equipment. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, I just had to rant for a moment.

[–] Charapaso@lemmy.world 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately they'll probably just say they are meant to be the masters of a harem and kill any potential rival males. Literally troglodyte shit

The types of people who believe a woman's only "biological job" is to shit out kids are the same fuckers who haven't achieved shit in their lives.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 132 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jaicilgin: literally hasn't done shit

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 76 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Based on this evidence, I'd counter that he has ONLY done shit.
