eventually we might have no choice but to create gigantic algae blooms in the ocean to save the planet.

we could actually move earth further from the sun, but not with our current tech. not that there are any physics preventing it. we know we can put thrusters (literally) on the moon and use it to slowly "tug" the earth to a further orbit.

it's not like we dont understand the concept but the tech is obviously not there--that's more of a solution to the sun expanding in the far future.

im in the 22%.

fucking yolo.

"im not like other girls" is a classic example of a women engaging in toxic masculinity/femininity

Some of these are general human traits and not toxic masculinity traits.
Go outside.

2 things can be true. those are all qualities of toxic masculinity and i never implied that they couldn't also be part of something else. nor did i imply the list was comprehensive and/or exclusive.

See this is why I dislike those terms. Women can do all most of these things, but this is stereotyped as masculine? And at the same time we talk about broken gender roles there is no issue with assigning these shit ass traits to the masculine ? I don't understand how both things can be done at the same time .

words are arbitrary do you really care about the terminology all of a sudden?

no one said women didn't/don't do that stuff. like, JK Rowling is one of the biggest spreaders of toxic masculinity in 2024.

i think it's called that because at it's root it just fucking hates women.

anyway i think masculine and feminine are silly terms as well. why do your positives have to come from your gender tho?

i like strength. is that a masculine or feminine trait? neither, id say. or both?

by all means let everyone be strong & beautiful, stoic & emotional. embrace the kaleidoscope of humanity.

"Not that you're wrong, but there's a specifically sexual focus in your post."

ha! im 39 in 1 week.

blobbers? whats the characteristics of the genre? like a dungeon crawler?

okay so...

take it further.

why do only dads and boys get to throw the ball?

gender equality is about not gendering activities like that, so in this sense, I totally understand what you mean and agree with your point.

so, like, one should be free to "cooled out" by the history of warfare and violence (boy stuff) and also like taylor swift, high fashion, and sylvia plath (girl stuff).

anyway my kesha answer is a joke but it's also serious. kesha's great, fun or serious, likes partying, etc. nothing to not like about kesha.

toxic masculinity does these:
-slut shame (more than anything)
-homophobia
-misogyny (hates women, anything femme)
-double standards for men and women
-if there is sex involved it's gonna be weird and angry (see #1)
-hyper-gender everything (women like book club, men like sports)

toxic feminity is basically just the same thing. it's not hard to see that something like the modern TERF is really going to thrive in a misogynistic patriarchy.

we could think about the opposite to these also, but they are much more benign. Maybe something like a friend criticizing someone for studying about a war or something, or getting mad that someone gave their kid a water pistol or army men or w/e. "neo liberal fascists" but these arent as big of a thing right now.

why frieza.

why not yamcha

toxic masculinity is when you don't like kesha

i think it's pathetic how they couldn't invent new characters and had to bring frieza back

abuse consumables?

television apps

televisions are slow as fuck and it takes like 20 seconds to even change the channel.

blutooth. pain in the ass, everytime.

Here's a great hour long doc about the fake life of Frank Dux. It's narrated by a dead pan Irish dude and it's fucking hilarious.

I don't understand the problem, he gets them out days before they are due.

So doesn't that mean he is releasing them before he even needs to have it done?

assuming this is good faith...

people need more than 10 seconds for work schedules ffs.

UK has like 60 day scheduling requirements because shit like this keeps you locked in dead-in jobs instead of being able to do things like schedule a job interview or go to the dentist or whatever the fuck

this is why UK has laws against this bullshit. schedules should be posted 30 days ahead of time, minimum.

yea we are gonna do the soft collapse, like Rome, where ppl will insist that nothing has collapsed and in fact it's now better than it ever was

edit: maybe something in between the two, to be honest. i don't think most people will have the skills to read and understand the knowledge of the 20th century for very much longer

yes and I have bad news.

did you know that...

...ancient Mesopotamia had modern-style drywall in their buildings?
...knowledge of what scurvy is and how to treat it was lost and forgotten dozens of times throughout history?
...fashion remained basically unchanged for 1000 years in Rome one time.
...Ancient Egypt was more progressive than 1980s America?
...Ancient Egypt had vending machines?

my friend it's been civilization and collapse for 5000 years--there is no reason it would stop now.

this is the collapsing phase.

5 billion per day at first glance looks like the best option, but then you realize that putting a literal metric ton of money into circulation every day will actually rapidly devalue the currency, and by the end of the year, your 5 billion per day is just enough to buy yourself a single loaf of bread.

Well I don't think you have to spend it. People are just aware that you have it. Even if you hyperinflated everything you'd still have more than everyone else so I don't think it's a problem for you, in either case.

I don't think buying starships and megayachts and islands would mess up the day-to-day economy of most places, either.

i already got skillz it's money i need

5g towers can reach like 3 miles.
4g towers can reach 4 miles.

even in the "middle of nowhere" there is still a tower somewhere.

if the tower is on a mountain or large hill or skyscraper it can probably go even further.

well the final fantasy 1 remakes abandoned the challenge and skill aspect of the battle system

wonderswan and psx versions excluded

Apparently this movie was the inspiration for Mortal Kombat

There are some others that inspired Mortal Kombat too. I've been trying to remember the name of the movie but it has the white marble and red carpet that MK used for a stage, almost exactly.

it's a hong kong film from the 60s or 70s.

also big trouble in little china.

Earthworm Jim? Yea probably. Power Suit is ridiculously strong and the FTL Pocket Rocket is kind of an ace up the sleeve.

edit: Firion could definitely take out Cap'n. Provided he can level up.

im still going with SSJ, ill train really hard or whatever!
