If you're a female author and you write your female protagonist as book-stupid not because it's what works best for the character/story but in a transparent attempt to make her "relatable", that means that either you're not very intelligent yourself or you're talking down to your audience. In either case, I don't think I'm going to be that interested in continuing to read your book.

You have a funny definition of "attack" if you think "please just let me and everyone else enjoy the things we enjoy without trying to kick us out or say we're not allowed to like them" is an attack on you. If you go looking for enemies, you're sure to find them, even when you're looking on your own side. Have fun living that life, my dude.

It is not "my fault". I am a woman who plays video games. I'm not in any way connected to the changes you're complaining about. There are many, many women who also don't like the changes you're complaining about. When you blame all women for the actions of a small number of women, all you're doing is losing yourself allies who agree with you about the changes being made. I mean, do you people really not hear yourselves?

How does "just let people enjoy what they want" count as misandry? Was I saying men shouldn't be allowed to enjoy yoga? I was not. I said it was misogynistic to say women shouldn't get to enjoy video games, which OP said, because that's the part that directly affects me, as a female gamer. It's not my job to get offended on behalf of yoga-enjoying men, though "let men enjoy yoga" is kind of covered by my statements, "let everyone enjoy what they want to enjoy" and following. Seems like you could stand to work on your empathy and reading comprehension a bit.

This is cute. Honestly, it would help if we could normalize this behavior again just so we didn't get awkward moments like the man behind you wondering why you don't just open the door and thinking you're self-entitled for expecting him to. I also feel awkward when I approach a door at the same time as an elderly man because I feel like there's a "younger people open the door for older people" politeness as well. Though all of that is mostly with strangers. All the close men in my family do open the door for me when I'm with them, and I guess I took that for granted.

@HyperSpearMan @GameOverStation It pretty obviously is, and I think anyone who says they're exactly the same is either being very disingenuous or doesn't understand how humans work.

I love that you're willing to own up to mistakes and clarify them. A lot of people aren't willing to do that. However, knowing that you rely on AI for research instead of verifying with direct, reliable sources before posting does harm the credibility of your whole channel in my eyes. AI isn't just biased. It makes stuff up. It's often wrong. It's unreliable enough that you should only use it as a way to get first impressions of something and then dig deeper into actual sources before making a report. It's not enough to keep asking the AI questions until you *think* that you've gotten to the truth. If your videos are based on what an AI spits out, I'm afraid that tarnishes your credibility severely to me. If your information is bad, unreliable, or unverified, it doesn't matter how reasonable and well-articulated your thinking about that information is.

@monsterhunter45 I look forward to being able to binge-listen to this whole series.

@MarioNawfal @Tesla @niccruzpatane Walk 99.9% of dogs? I really want to see a video of that robot trying to walk an average working breed dog that hasn't been specifically trained to slowly walk beside it.

The more I try to socialize and make friends, the more I wonder if maybe I'm just a misanthrope.

All religions are not equal. People of the past aren't the ones you have to worry about destroying your people and culture. Only the people of today and tomorrow can do that. And there's only one religion on earth that's a threat to your people and culture. Hint: it's not Christianity.

@nicksortor It's ludicrous that they need a 'pass' to get to their own house. Showing their ID with address should be enough. What on earth is the reasoning other than unnecessary bureaucracy? It honestly makes me think it's a delay tactic to allow for looting or something. So sketchy.

If they want to get people in movie theaters again, they have to find a way for it to not cost $30+ for a ticket and basic snacks for 1 person. When the price of seeing it in the theaters is more than the price to buy it when it comes out on blu-ray, a lot of people will find they can simply be patient (especially if they normally go to the theater as a couple/family). Streaming may have made the 'problem' worse, but it's far from the only reason for the current situation.

@randomyoko The same people have been attempting to rewrite American and European history for many years now. And yes, it's a huge problem. Many of our own kids and young adults have wildly wrong beliefs about our own history. You're right to want to stop it before they can do it to Japan.

@HumansNoContext Make a deal with several other family members who also get to press the button. We all press the red button and equally split whatever the end total is.

The sad thing is that even in states where the law requires them to be paid at least minimum wage *before* tips (like Oregon), there's no difference in expectation or attitude about tips. Employers definitely should pay their employees adequately and not rely on customers doing it, but that alone won't fix the messed up state tipping culture has gotten into.

@PicturesFoIder Wow, I would definitely not return to any place that had the audacity to show me something like this.

.@elonmusk : *makes a sweet, awkward, and slightly spastic gesture to show his love for the crowd because he can't contain his excitement* His enemies: "Nazi!!!" Why can't we just have wholesome things?

Important at times like this to remember that polls are usually like a couple hundred or thousand people. Try not to actually criticize all women because of them. As a gamer myself, I'd put video game playing as an attractive hobby in a man. Gambling, IMO, isn't a hobby; it's a vice.
