agreed. there have been a couple of videos out recently. one shot in new york and the other in new zealand, and both involved models walking the street. how women are treated in public in each video is dramatically different. there is a serious issue with women and their right to their bodies...

Look up male isolation and suicide rates. Maybe you are one of the lucky ones who has not been caught up in this cycle. Also, the Aussie concept of Sheds for men. A lot of interesting research in those areas.

fair point. I think the issue is that there are perceptions and that, in order to not conform to them, a person must be willing to fight for their entire life. You might find the concept of micro-aggression and how it maintains cultural standards interesting. Regardless, while I agree...

from a social psyc/biological sense, what you are saying makes sense, but is irrelevent. this thread is about cultural expectations that rot each particular person. given you seem to be trying to pull in the bio vs cultural aspects, you may find it interesting that cultural archetypes for...

Personally and in my opinion, a person who takes on a position of power in society and then abuses it should be liable for double the normal punishment. Give an increase in liability to correspond with the power they are assuming over their fellow citizens. As things stand here in my...

I live in a country that embraces the neo-liberal ideals of high wages for some and fuck the rest. This means they pretend fair market forces and then use monopolies and govt subsidies in order to hoard money. Far as I am concern: Piracy = a market force. Upset because people don't have to...

My personal grip is media. The way men are portrayed in media as incapable of taking care of themselves and being stupid/pig headed pisses me off.

I have had a few. Worst was in the Philippines. The taxi I was in got sick of how slow the traffic was moving. Went into busy oncoming traffic and forced himself back into the right lane just before an oncoming vehicle nailed us. Next worst/Tied: I was crossing at an intersection in Busan, a...

awesome. i have sunk over 50 hours into FTL. looks like at least another 50 hours is inbound. i am that masochist. with the right build, normal was over a 50% win rate. it is pretty easy to unlock the hulls. you can look up what conditions unlock what and then hit only those quadrants. one of...

Probably caused some confusion in writing this. I don't expect Witcher 3 to be bad and I really hope that it is good. I am sad that my reaction to hearing about games is not longer just excitement. That excitement has been laced with a dose of fear and dread. I find it depressing that I have...

I stumbled across this today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ_G6XiHoUA&oref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DTZ_G6XiHoUA&has_verified=1 It is not the first time I have seen a trailer for this game, but for the first time, I actually felt afraid. Witcher 1 and 2 were amazing...

i am fine with my weight. bout 6.5 and 250 pounds. quitting smoking is my area of future change.

No, any form of media has to be well done. Too damn busy to deal with mediocre crap. I distinguish this from sharp learning curve. No issues with hard. Not doing boring.

So, its like steam? ;) I haven't owned a console in years, but this sounds like a way that i could play those games without one. Hope they fix the issues with it because I would like to play the last of us and buying a console isn't happening.

yeah, there is that. i am hoping that it will improve with time cause it sounds like a vast improvement over how things are right now.
