Came here to say this. Not enough people know that taking testosterone shuts down your body's ability to make it naturally.

This. It's a shame your comment is so buried.

I worked in the food service industry for ten years. After I left, I realized that it was one of the most stressful jobs and lowest paying ones out there. Yes, it's easy to get your foot in the door, but it's so not worth it. I have often thought that if food service industry workers knew just what a bad deal they're getting compared to the rest of the workforce, restaurants nationally would shut down.

This. I was shocked how bad the food situation was there a couple years back.

Thankfully nobody got seriously hurt.

My first FPS was Marathon II: Durandal. My parents gave it to me because they knew I liked video games. I was four. That game traumatized me and I was terrified of FPS games.

Dark Forces was therapeutic. Since it was Star Wars I was able to get over dying in first person to the green monsters of Durandal with a mouth so large it descends into their chest. I was able to play the genre again after Dark Forces and so it will forever be treasured in my heart.

No, women shouldn't tolerate it, and I think most men would agree with this sentiment.

I am truly sorry to hear about your past experiences.

The thing is, unfortunately, the minority of men who are dangerous or problematic, are problematic towards all the women they encounter. They do damage to a lot of targets. It's kind of like the very loud minority. You're not acknowledging the silent ones because the loud ones are being so loud. I suspect women in general have a very skewed perspective of men, unfortunately, because they're dealing unproportionately with the worst ones. Most men, in general, are kind of just minding their own business. They have their own friend groups. They have their relationships. They have their lives to live. I think a growing number of men are also just increasingly intimidated by women, whether it be due to social awkwardness and inadequacy or a fear that saying the wrong thing to a woman might actually cost them their livelihood (it's kind of like men's version of what you're talking about, and while most women probably won't go out of their way to destroy a man, the ones that do are very loud with their actions - men, by the way, need to overcome this hurdle of trust as well). Meanwhile, predatory men are actively seeking out women while your average Joe is just passing by or actively avoiding them. This sucks and it is a very real social issue that is detrimental to women.

I think the best way to confront this issue is to move towards having a stronger sense of community. Isolated women are seen as vulnerable targets for these predatory men. You could say that the good men should protect the women in their lives, and generally I would agree with this, however when it comes to strangers or lesser known acqmaintenances women have made it very difficult for men to go out of their way to help them. As such, women are left more on their own, and the vicious cycle continues. This, of course, leaves many women to be quite spiteful of the men they're dealing with.

Honestly, the two genders are just too much at each other's throats. There are valid grievances on both sides, but neither side wants to hear the other's because they feel that it somehow invalidates their own troubles. We need to socially build bridges rather than firing shots of hatred and contempt. It's an uphill battle I'm not sure that we'll live to see resolved.

I think we all need to accept the fact that there are just bad people in the world and try to live our lives avoiding them. Likewise, within such a broad group that justifies generalization, such as gender, we each need to work on improving our own sides. When it comes to gender issues and the worst within us discussing the topic, we're going to be much more receptive of talking to our own gender. Women need to reel in the misandrist feminazis and men need to take on misogynistic incels. We need to ground these people back in reality and teach them some empathy. And we all need to look out for one another against dangerous predators.

Bad experiences stick out. It's confirmation bias. The hunter that jumped at rustling in the bushes survived the one percent of the time that it was a mountain lion. If the majority of men were unsafe, the world would be very different, especially for women. Perpetuating such a negative and untrue generalization is problematic.

It's like:

Women are bad drivers. Women are superficial. Women are gold diggers. Women are too emotional in high stress situations and therefore cannot handle the more important roles. These statements aren't problematic, they're just my experiences with women.

See what I mean?

Now, should you drop all vigilance and be niave about the unfortunately significant number of dangerous men? No. But some people are going a bit overboard on how they perceive innocent social situations, and it's gotten to a point where it hurts.

Didn't Musk once brag about sleeping under a desk at work to inspire dedication to the "mission"?

EDIT: The title of this article is misleading in its implication that the employee was fired due to sleeping in his car. He was merely one of many laid off to cut labor costs. Still sucks for him, though.

Everyone sucks out at the same rate when they get it in behind. When better players lose, a higher percentage of their losing hands are to suckouts.

The new movie needs to be boycotted. Show them they can't cash in on cheap imitation.

"That's what racing is about; it has nothing to do with cars or drivers. All that matters is power and the unassailable might of money!" Chills. Straight into Lynard Skynard's Free Bird.

It was a cinematic masterpiece and anybody that rolled their eyes at its silliness doesn't have a heart to resonate with its sad undertones and powerful conviction in goodness.

Blinx

Dude killed himself the same way Epstein did.

I know many will disagree with me, but Dark Forces.

Jedi Knight was fun, don't get me wrong, but I just couldn't get into it. I'd rather play the original.

Jedi Outcast was a masterpiece, and didn't deserve to be overshadowed by it's expansion (fuck you, that's what it was), Academy.

Dear management,

It has come to my attention that an imposter has posted a clearly fake notice regarding our sick days policy. While certainly a prank (as undoubtedly men of managerial caliber would never fall victim to such grammatical incompetence on official work-related documentation), I wanted to make you aware of the presence of this posting lest someone actually falls victim to believing its legitimacy.

Shhhh.... Obviously villains 3-bet range only contains winning combos of AA and AK - everything else loses to the A on the turn.

I work 60 hours a week in a physically strenuous line of work. I am exhausted on my days off. I play Overwatch occasionally, strictly for fun. I am a lowly silver player. I have some mechanical and strategic understanding of the game. I am NOT trying to get better. I am NOT trying to rank up. I do NOT get to play many games. When a smurf comes along, we do NOT get to learn by playing against a tougher opponent. We just get stomped. It's a waste of my precious recreational time and it sours the mood. Smurfs are fucking terrible for me.

I do not mind losing many of my games if they are evenly matched. I like trying hard, and losses come with the territory. Maybe you should stop taking the game so seriously without resorting to ruining it for others.

This. Boycott Blizzard.

Because this isn't a discussion about getting him back on track financially. I'm not saying that that discussion doesn't need to happen, but THIS IS NOT THAT DISCUSSION.

The dude is stressing about money. His girlfriend offers to help him deal with the stress but actually contributes to it by adding to the problem that is stressing him out in the first place. It's like in your scenario with the husband putting a band-aid on a broken leg (where is that BTW, did you delete that comment?), but instead of putting on a band-aid he starts twisting your leg instead causing more pain and damage. That's fucked up, and it deserves to be called out. THAT'S WHAT THIS DISCUSSION IS ABOUT.

And this is a widespread phenomenon that women are perpetuating onto men. It needs to be addressed. And here you are being like, "why are you talking about this? Shame on you. You should talk about this other thing instead."

You are the problem. Self reflect if you're even capable of it.

Lucius. I did not realize how hard that game sticks to the rails given the concept

QQ. No reason whatsoever.

I don't know. Is the community gonna develop its use as a currency or throw it into a new smartBCH ponzi scheme?
