He didn’t already have a trademark? I’m surprised.

Anyway, here comes a flood of ragebait about how Geoff is trying to own the concept of award shows

Right now, although I’m not at all surprised.

Yeah, mastodon simply doesn’t have an advertising budget, and having to pick an instance, while trivial, is still enough to stop a lot of people from joining.

Short of congress changing the law or a successful coup, neither of which are necessarily off the table, yes these next four years will be Trump’s last in office. Who knows what either party will have to offer in 2028.

Genuinely the single worst messaging app I’ve ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.

Well… I wish I hadn’t seen that

No way he doesn’t have something under his shirt, right?

Yeah, the double pack of Kirkland ibuprofen will typically last an entire family a year or more

It helps marginally better than placebo for me. Hence why Americans use it for fairly trivial aches and pains.

I can’t imagine it would do anything for pain I’d consider ‘serious’.

$750 a year to maintain health

Lol

AFAIK he always claimed to be a centrist until a few days ago. I don’t think he exactly endorsed Bernie, but he’s said very nice things about him and his policies.

… women forcing their way into women only spaces is misogynist.

Smh. You’re not even denying that they’re women, you just don’t like them

Well… They didn’t say that. So you’ll have to forgive people for thinking it applies to all men.

By percentage, but the total birthrate would (continue to) go down.

And now Trump’s gonna make it harder to immigrate, so the population may actually start nosediving.

Mgtow was not met with indifference. They’ve been consistently criticized since the movement first started, and they quickly evolved into a cabal of Nazi-adjacent freaks. Fuck those guys.

There may be some good that could come from a men’s movement for self actualization and improvement, but mgtow sure as shit wasn’t that

I mean, considering how many incels voted for trump, I think we’re pretty much already there. Many of the young men who voted red this election already have no close relationships with any women their age. Obviously women should exercise their autonomy as they see fit. I don’t expect it to change how anyone votes.

I’ll probably be downvoted for this, but progressives have spent the last several years actively shutting down lines of communication with men, particularly white men. For the best of reasons, sure, but it hasn’t been an effective strategy for winning elections.

Maybe this would sway some group of center-left men who didn’t bother voting, but realistically I expect it will have no effect on the ongoing polarization, or exagerrate it.

This decision is made for most people by the electrician who wired the house. This seems like as decent a hypothesis as any for why they seem to prefer washers to the left

Is this a thing people say unironically? It’s as dumb as saying “just go be a movie star”

In my experience, this highly depends on the college. Mine really didn’t do shit for me as far as networking goes. And what connections i did make didn’t end up helping anyway. Maybe it starts mattering more once you’ve got some experience?

I’ve heard there’s an enormous demand for experienced tradespeople, but apprenticeships are pretty much full up…

Kind of a nobody-wins situation. Money to be made, just not by anyone on the ground floor.
