Epples and benenes?

So… What’s a good alternative?

The available worlds looked pretty grim. They had little to offer him because he had little to offer them. He had been extremely chastened to realize that although he originally came from a world which had cars and computers and ballet and Armagnac, he didn’t, by himself, know how any of it worked. He couldn’t do it. Left to his own devices he couldn’t build a toaster. He could just about make a sandwich and that was it.

Arthur Dent realizes that he, as an individual, is pretty useless for improving a society, but he can make a damn fine sammie.

“feature” 🤮

So their actions didn’t matter in the end.

Point of order: Just because the end result was the same, doesn’t mean it didn’t matter.

ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival?

In this context, it means “Edited To Add”. I do wish they abbreviated it some other way, since “Estimated Time of Arrival” is a much more common meaning. I would accept “E2A” or something stupid, as long as it was more unique. Alternatively, they could just use “Edit:”.

Edit: added link.

Don’t worry. Scientists will fix this once and for all in 2620.

Crap! Someone else is using my PIN. I should change it.

As someone not familiar with Manjaro, what is it about Manjaro that would prevent it from updating?

Sorry, I was just being silly. I am aware of the English meaning. I even linked to the same page you did. I guess I failed to communicate my snark properly.

Confused German noises …

Thank you!

Another user posted a different link for the actual vote.

Edit: I’ve removed the screenshot because the page is currently showing the wrong vote.

It seems like either they changed the page, or everyone is having trouble reading it (or maybe I am?). Here’s AOC’s vote on that page, listed as “Yea” for “motion to adjourn”.

The “Nay” vote is listed as winning, but everything about this feels backward, so I’m not sure what to make of it.

Damn. I read the headline, and I almost thought it was a “Report AI Slop” button. What a feature that would be!

This is a fairly well-written and nuanced take that mostly aligns with my experiences.

If you try to defend yourself or talk about your own problems as a man, it is labeled as misogyny.

I think this is one of the bigger parts of the issue. There seem to be two types of responses when men open up. One is to shut them down for one reason or another, and the other one is the manosphere saying “yes, that is a problem, and I have a solution”. That option is obviously going to be more appealing.

We need a third option of commiseration for problems without simple solutions. Guys need a space to vent about these issues, without it being seen as an effort to take those opportunities away from others. Of course, we need to pick our forum. Not every space is a place to vent frustrations, which is probably why you get rebuked.

So how do we develop the third option? Well, open up to your male friends. Ask them how they’re doing, and actually listen for an answer. If they just give you “I’m good, how about you?”, that’s your moment. It’s probably going to feel unnatural, and you might not get the response you’re looking for. If you’re worried about how it will be received, maybe start small. Explain something you’re concerned about. You can acknowledge solutions offered, but try not to focus on them. If you get shut down among your friends, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate that friend group.
