    I think it actually covers two different scenarios.

    There are cases of men not listening to women and what women have to say (and vice versa, let’s not forget that). Those can be women’s rights issues, personal struggles, just everyday things etc. etc. - something people need or want to share.

    And there are cases of women (and sometimes men, too) intentionally putting an enigmatic air because they think they are more attractive this way, or because they don’t know how to approach things in communication, or because of anxieties.

    Or, often times, people don’t say something because they expect a negative reaction, commonly by extrapolating from their beliefs about a wide group of people, so even if someone’s actually willing to listen, it will never get there.



  • Interesting. From my observations (I’m male, so take this with a grain of salt), women and girls are generally given positive attention - which might be unwarranted in its own right, but I rarely see hostility to this group of gamers.

    There is even a phenomenon of male gamers, especially among teens, to represent themselves as female to either just get more positive response in players or to actively abuse this for gaining social perks.


  • I’ve tried it and I absolutely do not trust it.

    And them covering left and right is part of it, yes. It works with made up American definitions of left and right, in which centrists to moderate rights are put on the left. As a result, international coverage is normally represented as left-biased, while really, Ground News and a broader American political landscape is right-biased. This is not a fair coverage and it and it doesn’t allow you to break through the propaganda.

    Overall, concept is good, but if you follow this and think you are well-balanced and informed, you are not.










  • That’s very simple. Public companies have investors the directors respond to. If the company won’t brag about profits, it will lose investments, reducing its competitiveness and starting a death spiral. If it will pay bigger salaries, it will lose money and won’t be able to brag about profits.

    Our current economy is double crazy in that companies don’t just have to make stable profits to stay afloat, but to ever increase those profits at the expense of everything - including workers.

    The entire system is insane.


  • Exactly!

    Literally everything we ever came up with is comprehensible by humans, and is likely to be comprehensible by a layman given enough time and making sure prerequisites are filled.

    In fact, it takes a good explanation that would click with a given person’s experience and level of expertise to make anyone understand anything.

    It’s just that sometimes people need that specific thing X, and normally it’s needed to those who have some knowledge in another specific thing Y, and it gets expected that a person needing X knows Y (which is not necessarily true)

    This is especially common in the world of computers. Everyone uses them, everyone has to troubleshoot them, but not everyone is the system administrator, to which 85% of the guides often seem to be addressed.
