A lot of young men are lacking role models and community these days.
More kids are growing up without fathers around now (single parenthood is up from 9% in the 1960s to about 25% today).
Most people’s source of community used to be church, but since the advent of the internet, people are rapidly moving away from organized religion. I think this has disproportionately impacted men, who tend to be less social on average.
And I think in general, a lot of young men feel like nobody cares about their personal struggles.
So, even some toxic dude like Andrew Tate can show up and say “Hey, you’re great. Here are the reasons why things are bad for you and what you should do, and here’s a community of like-minded people to interact with.” and these guys are going to dive in head first.
It’s a play on an existing meme format:
It’s totally a thing in the downtown of some older cities, and occasionally in some apartment complexes that have popped up recently, but I’d say that throughout the majority of the country, residential and commercial zones get drawn without overlap.
and the brain switched to the
next availablefactory default language, English.
I like it!
I had them! Hurt myself plenty…
Can’t be too careful out here.
(But honestly this meme was stolen and I didn’t notice)
I’ve seen a lot of people praising Mint in here. It sounds like that’s the distro for me to try first.
I played the demo for this game, and it’s a really creative concept. It feels like one of those tile-laying board games crossed with an indie mystery title.
The puzzles go deeper than you’d think too. By the end of the demo, my wife and I were trading off playing and taking down notes, while our 2 y/o was excitedly shouting out doors for us to go through next. It was a good time.
Schools (both K-12 and university) keep loosening their expectations of students, and now we have kids starting college with 6th grade reading levels.
School administrators don’t want their graduation stats to look bad, and universities don’t want to lose $$ by flunking students out, so there’s a massive conflict of interest that is ultimately resulting in a disservice to students and society at large.
The other day, I saw this 8th grade graduation exam from a county in Kentucky in 1912, and it drives home how much things have changed:
Now I’m upset that this isn’t real.
Wow, I didn’t realize Lexapro had been around so long.
These kind of products went hard in the Y2K era.
Steam deck with dock is amazing. I picked up a dock about 6 months ago and have gotten so much use out of it.
You did good, I just saw a bunch of reports and thought the title looked like some of the spam we occasionally get. I’m sure the people down voting thought the same thing, so I wouldn’t read too much into that.
Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?
It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…
