In what way. I’ve never put my hand over a hot stove to prove how stupid it would be to do that.

It isn’t coffee.

That’s about a -31 on the “what kind of coffee is this” scale.

If I as a human want to learn a subject from a book, I buy it

That’s good.

It’s not because what they’re against is the consolidation of power.

If the principle “information is free” can lead to systems where information is not free, then that’s not really desirable, is it.

If free information to inspire more creative works can lead to systems with less creative works, then that’s not really desirable, is it.

It is a tool

Yeah, I agree. I wrote twelve lines about that.

are all just a tool
just a tool
it’s just a tool
a tool is a tool
all are just tools
it’s no more than a tool
it’s just a tool
it’s a tool we can use
one of our many tools
it’s only a tool
these are just tools
a tool for thee, a tool for me

guns don’t kill people, people kill people
the solution is simple:
teach drunk people not to shoot their guns so much
unless they want to
that is the American way

tanks don’t kill people, people kill people
the solution is simple:
teach drunk people not to shoot their tanks so much
the barista who offered them soy milk
wasn’t implying anything about their T levels
that is the American way

Thanks for reminding me that AI is just tools, friend.
My memory is not so good.
I often can’t
remember

“Man, that hitler guy was pretty all right. …Wait, why are you calling me a nazi?”

I mean, do you just not know what Elon has been up to or what?

Wow. I’m so used to this comic being presented from a left perspective that I completely missed what explodicle was actually saying.

As opposed to modern women, who are sterling paragons that men would be crazy to not marry.

To be this spiteful about it? Kinda. You’re treating this like a tit-for-tat battle of the sexes for dominance in society, a contest to prove which one really is better, instead of, you know, a grievance somebody has with men as a culture.

Let’s imagine you’re right, that women aren’t great. Would this mean that the men who are socialized not to be desirable don’t have anything to do, then? Because both sexes are equally awful, neither one is obligated to improve?

They might be growing. I feel like I haven’t heard about MGTOW in a while, but whatever. And, it is true the right wing apparatus is built to court men’s favor specifically, yeah. But that apparatus socializes them into pretty toxic people. When people complain about men, those conservative attitudes are what they’re talking about.

Unless you hang out in some strange circles. It’s obviously possible someone just really hates men, but letting that overshadow a real criticism is pretty god damn silly, in my opinion.

I’m just not sure what any of this has to do with women not being sterling marriage material.

This is what I mean about projection. You’ve got a chip on your shoulder about something, and so from a tweet with a fairly benign take on men as a culture, we get this insecure, jealous, whataboutism about careerless women being owed alimony, I guess.

I would agree that the left gives up too much social capital about men to the right.

Oh, you’re right, I forgot about the 100 years of uncultured, savage men being conscripted into slave labor to build rail roads or whatever.

The persecution complex with you people is astounding.

men are useless and have no place in society.

You are projecting your insecurities, my guy.

Like, you’re over here complaining about hypergamy at the same time that you’re whining about this very pedophilic “hit the wall” business. What’s wrong with being 35, exactly? Won’t you be 35 one day?

You don’t want the government to police advertisements to kids, like we already do with television.

Instead, you think Darwinism should police them with death? Really?

… What argument?

Neither OP nor GameChild has made an argument. They’ve just said things.

“Cheese is delicious.”
“No, it’s not.”
“Damn, my argument was flipped on its head.”

What are you talking about?

True, but it encompasses a lot of people.

Nope.

When you’re talking about demographics, you do not need to carve out exceptions for every single little outlier—it would be useless to talk about them otherwise.

A man expressing masculinity? “That’s violently toxic!”

Okay, I have to imagine you’re here in bad faith because anyone who understands toxic masculinity would not phrase it this way.

I’m not sure I agree, but I’m also not sure what you’re talking about.

Is there a view that dark skinned people are more masculine? I might accept less feminine; such a view would serve the purpose of making the violence against them easier for people to stomach.

It’s clear.

Out of curiosity, how did you feel about man vs bear?

harks back to racist ideas of “uncultured savages”

Does it? Does it really?
