  • Might wanna take a break from posting memes if your ass gets this bent out of shape when people say your unfunny shit is unfunny. This is boomer tier humour. All that missing is a line taking a shot at the wife.

    Also if you think there’s nothing wrong with following some random chick around a store staring at her, as you stated in another comment, you’re creepy as fuck.









  • If you think that anecdotal story somehow justifies the idea of using the military to fight fires, I don’t know what to tell you. The fact the military has dudes who’s literal job it is to fix HVAC because the air con dying would fuck with operational readiness. How do you think having random amount of your service members tied up fighting fires would affect that readiness. It’s a ludicrous idea that doesn’t pass any test based in basic common sense.

    The whole hurry up and wait shit was because the US military valued its readiness and would rather have people standing around ready to go rather than the inverse situation. Especially since the amount of bushfires are predicted to increase and the fact that most militaries have area of denial weapons specifically to set large areas of land on fire… I don’t know what else I can say to make you see what a shit idea it is.

    Yeah one of my better landlords was a sparky that worked hard af. This is Aus though so might be different. Any time we reported shit with the house he was out the immediately when he didn’t have a job to fix it personally and you could tell he was hot shit at his work too because he had his own business.




  • I understand the foundational concepts to the patriarchy idea and accept that some people who believe it can draw the distinction. My point remains that most do not. Including this video author who felt comfortable titling the video as they did. Even in the paper this video apparently references the paper starts with addressing the patriarchy and rapidly goes from that to pointing solely to “white men” as being the focal point of the issue/paper.

    I think that claiming there is absolutely no patriarchy or patriarchal element to society is disingenuous at best. That aside I think it is looked to as the sole reason or even the main reason for a lot of issues without cause and little to no scientific reasoning. If the world switch to being a matriarchy tomorrow it’d still be business as usual because it’d be women CEOs/interest group/corporate entities making billions in blood money instead. Trying to pin all of societies woes on the patriarchy just does not seem in anyway conductive to the larger issue in this context, which is climate change. Especially when it does so on shoddy papers like the one referenced in the video.


  • It cites one study wherein 16 women and 9 men had an introductory conversation on the issue.

    Which leads you to feel comfortable making the widely generalised conclusion of:

    The video spends a long time on the phenomena wherein men tend to feel the need to dominate discussions regardless of their actual qualifications.

    One paper, with a sample size of 25. With no rigorous data beyond “we observed an academic meeting and the men spoke more times, for longer”. That paper also attributes a lot of reasons for why the men did this and nearly all of it based in speculation beyond the two quotes. The paper bases an astounding amount of assertions based off this incredible weak data.
