A lot of people will happily let themselves be demeaned as long as they're also offered a group of people categorically beneath them

"Yeah, you are a friendless loser and you can never be an alpha because your bone structure makes you inherently inferior. But at least you're a real complex person unlike women! And anyway, once we ~*~restore~*~ society you'll get a girlfriend too!"

It's not that they can't still change, but men who find that appealing are at that point not looking for kindness, deep friendship or genuine help with their problems. Those will never offer a convenient scapegoat and simple, guaranteed solutions.

Also. It's not like misogyny didn't exist or wasn't prevalent before the first woman tweeted "i hate men." Or before the Me Too movement. Like, that realistically cannot be the cause.

the idea that reactionary spaces are attractive to men because they treat them kindly unlike The Left is so odd because whenever I come across that content it's essentially the same dynamic as pro ana "meanspo". if you don't know what that is, it's "motivation" based on degrading the viewer to the point where they can't "make excuses" and not become anorexic, or in this case a true Alpha Male. I feel like thisis objectively worse for someone's mental health than The Left

(A message—less like a live broadcast and more like a note that somebody sent and then immediately disconnected from the network. Parts of it seem like they were not properly erased.)

Hello, This is addressed to Habitually Stargazing.

You are a facility that specializes in astronomy, is that correct? I am also an observatory of a kind. I wanted t I am rather curious as to whether or not you get to witness any remarkable astronomical events from your location. If so, can you please would you perhaps be so inclined to share your findings? Do you have a good view of some specific constellations or planets, maybe? A favorite view? Do you have functioning satellites? Also do

I apologize if that is far too many questions. You are a…professional. I understand if you are busy with other matters. Indeed, you do not have to answer my inquiries at all if you do not wish to. I shouldn’t have bothered you That is all. Thank you for your time.

(It is signed off with the sender’s pseudonym: Recognition In Spirit. What a weird name for an observatory.)

Greetings, Recognition In Spirit.

I appreciate your interest in my work. I would not mind sharing some of my findings with you.

My location gives me a rather clear view of the sky. I can observe the recurring meteor showers, for example. A long time ago, I got to witness a comet - together with my inhabitants. My calculations show that I should be able to see it once more before I become non-operational.

My equipment is not the best suited for deep space research; the development of an adequate telescope was abandoned due to... certain circumstances. Thus, I tend to focus mostly on what I can already see - planets and constellations, with the stars being my main interest. I will attach a projection of the constellations currently seen above me - notably the Wheel Flower, the Nomad, and the Scroll. The Wheel Flower's brightest star has been showing some interesting activity lately - its brightness appears to be changing.

Three of my initial five satellites remain functional. Without proper maintenance, I fear I might lose contact with the remaining ones in the future - this would greatly diminish my range of communication. The organisms controlling them can only function for so long, after all.

Once more, I appreciate each opportunity to discuss these matters, especially with someone of similar function. The astronomy broadcast groups have not been the most active recently.

P.S.: I do enjoy the occasional sight of aurorae. They are not very common around these parts.

Don't know how to answer people when they ask you a question? Get quiet or stressed because you kind of don't want to answer but you also can't explain why, lest you start to answer? Getting called secretive because you Just Don't Respond??

Might I introduce you... To The Cards!!!!

More than a year ago I suggested advertising one of our (drug safety related) products on a popular podcast co-hosted by someone who’s very upfront about being a recovering addict. People insisted immediately, without even looking into it, that it wasn’t worth pursuing.

I just heard a very similar product advertised on the exact same podcast.

So I guess what I’m saying is that I feel validated.

idk man like you do have to curate the experience like anywhere else but I lost someone super important to me? all of a sudden? and a bunch of people who I'd never met added me on the book face when that happened. so we could still keep in touch and be a family. and I think it's good actually that his cousins and friends are on the internet somewhere for me to talk to and keep in touch with and feel like I'm still connected to a big interwoven family that didn't die with him and that I didn't lose when he left

What are the mun’s thoughts on how the stolitz relationship has been portrayed in the show?

Alright, well, I opened this can of worms then. Eating my words.

DISCLAIMER: This is MY opinion and no one is under any obligation to feel the same way, regardless of interaction / following. My opinion is mine alone and is in no way affiliated with anything other than my own perception(s), etc.

The stolitz relationship as portrayed in the show is MESSY. It is, in my opinion, complex. By the most basic definition, it is a direct hit on the miscommunication trope. Both parties ( Blitz and Stolas ) have deep rooted trauma(s) and feelings of inadequacy of some shape or form. WE DO NOT SEE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL. And honestly, this is OKAY with me! It leaves much open to fun little gremlin writers like us to play around in. There are dots to connect for the most basic details, and the rest is a messy little sandbox you'll be emptying from your shoes for weeks. I think it could absolutely be portrayed better! But I also thoroughly enjoy the non-linear existence of it. Relationships are messy, and people's love languages and overall feelings can be vastly differing, causing a massive disconnect. These things can completely and entirely alter, shift, or crumble whole relationships - be them romantic, platonic, familial, etc. I personally enjoy the portrayal of their relationship because it isn't all fluffy happy rainbows and smooches. Neither of them is perfect and both of them are deeply flawed. Also, I've been in a relationship that has closely mirrored the absolutely steep differing of romantic/expected alignment, inferiority struggles, and self-degradation. TL;DR - Not the best, certainly delicious, could be better, I personally enjoy it, and not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay!
