  • ‘I don’t date at all now’: one woman’s journey into the darkest corners of the manosphere

    Jump

  • I know a lot of guys in the comments are saying they don’t see it so they don’t have the opportunity to call it out. And some of those guys are making good points! These communities probably don’t interact much with men that treat women with respect.

    But I also wonder how much of that stuff happens and they don’t realize it’s harmful to women. Obviously sharing photos isn’t okay so that’s an easy one to call out.

    It’s not a man’s fault that he doesn’t see it, necessarily. You don’t have the same experiences as women and it just doesn’t occur to you as often. Women are on alert 24/7.

    Kinda like that thing about the number of guys who feel safe walking to their car at night vs the number of women. (I know some men are anxious in that scenario too, but nearly ALL women are.)

    When I was an elementary school aged kid, I was afraid to play outside at my grandmas house because a man drove by yelling cat calls. This actually happened a couple times growing up.

    At 14, a random man followed me home from school.

    In my college there was a flyer in the restroom about how something like 1 in 6 women will experience sexual assault or rape. But really that’s just the number reported.

    Every single woman I know has experienced sexual assault or rape of some kind. (I didn’t ask my coworkers to be fair).

    That’s bonkers.

    But I do appreciate those of you that are trying to be better! The comments here are reassuring and give hope for the future!

  • That used to happen to me. I found I could only listen to audio books if I was doing something else to use up some extra “processing resources.”

    I would describe it to other people as an overloaded circuit. If I applied all my brain power at the book, it would overload and shutoff.

    If I was doing some tedious task that required some attention, but not too much, I could divert some of that excess energy away without overloading it. So for me that was, stocking shelves at work, doing the dishes, folding laundry, etc.

    Driving wasn’t enough so I couldn’t listen to the book. (Though, later, I did train myself to and now I can do it fine)

  • This was my favorite number until recently. I had no idea. Fucking nazis ruin everything.

    Now, I'm horrified at all the times anyone might have asked me to pick a number between 1 and 100 before I knew.

  • Veep stopped making episodes because he’ll headlines in the 1st Trump administration were crazier than what they could write.

  • What do office workers actually do?

  • I just check email all day. Like that’s 80% of my job. My entire job could be done from anywhere. I don’t do as single thing that isn’t in my laptop. But I still sit at a stupid cubicle.

  • This is why I love Halloween. Some kid wants to be an umbrella. Another wants to be a tornado. Then, Yoshi to shows up to get candy, but right behind him is his little brother dressed like the elderly ghost of Tupac. Bro wut.

    I fucking love it.

  • My office transition from WFH to Hybrid. A lot of people quit over the last year. We’re severely understaffed and we have had trouble hiring.

    We had our worst internal survey results for the entire 10 years of my employment.

    Management doesn’t seem to correlate the RTO rules as the problem though. 🙃

    I’ve been trying to quit too, but I haven’t be able yo find a job yet (i was trying to change careers)

  • Yup. Duh. Studies show that when tariffs cause foreign product prices to rise, rather than leaving their prices the same, US brands raise theirs to match because they don’t want their product to seem cheaply made. (But also price gouging)

    I tried to find the video I watched about it, but I watched it pre-US Election. The internet is flooded with more recent tariff videos.

    I think it was by Vox Media and it was specifically about tariffs or inflation, more generally.

  • Yeah I read the post and didn’t take the intended lesson. I said “oh! I can make that!”

    But do laws even apply anymore?

  • Agreed! But for me it’s not all that often, luckily.
