The video above features Aba and Preach as they review a tiktok by a trans man on his experience in being treated as constant possible threat due to now being perceived as a man. There’s some jokes here and there but some decent discussion of the differences in how men and women are perceived in everyday life.
The video above dives into some of the challenges in developing and administering experimental drugs that can be used as birth control options for men as the main ones available to men are condoms and vasectomies which isn’t a lot. From the video summary on youtube:
“Condoms and vasectomies remain pretty much the extent of birth control options for people who produce sperm, and both have problems. So why is almost all hormonal birth control aimed at those with ovaries? There have been some successes targeting the biological feedback process for hormones that regulate new sperm production, but progress is slow.”
The video above is an interview with a researcher named William Costello who’s part of a wider team of researchers taking an empirical approach to understanding incels and the problems they face. Whereas the usual pop-sci understanding of incels starts and stops with the misogyny in their communities. The empirical focus gives us better results as it reveals the mental status and situations incels themselves are dealing with and why modern upbringings are failing them.
You can find their research here and I highly recommend giving it it a look: http://www.psychstudies.co.uk/sisnet.php
The video above is a documentary highlighting the story of a man whose untreated mental health problem and a punitive justice system resulted in him getting life with no parole in prison after getting rejected and turned down from programs that would have helped him recover.
I’m hoping manga counts as I’m reading 2 graphic novels and one manga, hbu?:

I edited the name of the post to better reflect the content of the video as the original video title is just “Don’t waste it”, the host talks about the stats relating to how many people in the modern world in first world countries are still counted as illiterate and how those stats made him reflect on how lucky he was in being encouraged to read and still does to this day. I like this video as a decent summation of what makes reading wonderful in and of itself.
Lots of graphic novels and manga, once done with that I have a nice gardening book to look forward to:

Small criticism, I think your first article on “The redditor’s guide to how Kbin works” is the one packed with the most useful information for any newbie migrating from reddit or any social media so it deserves a sticky or some kind of mechanism to make it the first thing that pops up imho. Otherwise, awesome work. I thought the Artemis app was still in exclusive beta so it’s good to hear it’s available on the app store now.
The video above is a discussion between Louis Rossmann, a philanthropist and a programmer who use and advocate for the usage of open source software. The connection between all three of them is that the philanthropist heads an organization called FUTO that gives grants to people developing useful open source projects and Louis Rossmann (I believe) is an employee of that organization and the programmer Aiden is a recipient of that grant. The conversation goes over the complication in trying to monetize and fund open source software that’s typically expected to be free all around.
For those curious about the FUTO organization, you can find some of their links below.

So a team of you just collectively stomping/T-bagging a random dinosaur Skeleton?
Download the offline version maps of wherever you plan to stay/travel to. You can do this via google maps or OSM maps, at the very least it’s helped me keep peace of mind when out and about.

I think in order to actually attain that egalatarianism from a male perspective it requires a strict pro male POV on our side in spaces like this because the default in a lot of mainstream conversations about gender related issues and problems start from the framework of feminist theory invoking ideas like “male privilege, oppression” which prioritize the oppression and issues affecting women first and foremost and I don’t think a framework that excuses phrases like “KillAllMen” should get a free pass in spaces like this.
To be blunt, I don’t care if incels, red pillers, feminists or right wingers wanna comment in this space so long as they abide by the rules of civility and attack ideas and act in good faith when our ideas go against theirs and challenge them.

The video above is a long essay on the experiences and research the guy in the video has put into understanding the modern dating situation men have to deal with when it comes to dealing with conflicting ideals on what a proper approach looks like all the way to how consent works in the modern dating world but from a man’s POV. I’m curious about the guys in this community, does what he describe in the video mirror your experience? even if it doesn’t I’d be curious to hear why and how.
I don’t know why but Lutris has been consistently dependable at installing and launching gog games but installing them via heroic launcher has been hit or miss where it says it can’t locate the install folder. Maybe I mishandled the mounting of the SD card but Lutris has been a simple way to install more gog games from my library so that’s why I use it more than adding each non steam game one at a time.
I like this idea of promoting media that isn’t actively trying to tear us down or perpetuate caricatures of us. Shout out to the Castlevania series on netflix. A series that has deep and complex male characters of all types who evolve and go through their own journeys throughout the series.
