Aight, the more I know :)

As someone born in 2000, I’ve personally seen it and I think most people around me did. Maybe someone didn’t, though.

Ahhh, thanks! It’s important not to scratch the screen, though - paper makes a poor screen protection :D

Given that my country is Russia and you are probably trying to escape an authoritarian regime, you may consider another destination.

But still, I think Americans are generally welcome. People can make lighthearted jokes about it and be surprised, but you’ll be a welcome guest after all. Bonus points if you say American government, and particularly Department of State, is shit :D

Language barrier might be an issue - most Russians above ~35 have very poor English skills, and younger folks mostly have it on A2-B2 level.

Oh, and the country is sanctioned to hell, so sending money in and out is an additional hurdle. But if you retain your American credit card, you’ll be alright and at least able to make payments outside the country.

Random picture from a non-native: what does “tracing a picture” mean in this context?

I couldn’t find the meaning

Nothing beats parafilm scarf

What I happened to notice with different girls as a guy is that for many, of not most, telling/showing the right way is a turn-off and having something the right way without showing first is a source of tremendous excitement.

With that said, we, men, are still not mind readers, and women really do have it very differently, so some common sex education, while useful, can only cover the basics, and even they are not universally applicable.

Yes! This does wonders!

The question is: how are they gonna get back on track?

One thing to remember is that Democrats, just like Republicans, are sponsored by the rich, and have their hands tied against taking drastic measures that would actually improve lives of common people against the interest of businesses. This is primarily why key economic points they rallied with never came to fruition.

It is very obvious they meant it draws no power from the grid. And it doesn’t, indeed, acting fully autonomously.

Legitimate reason as in “a man is in the range of visibility”?

Ohhhh, I see! Thanks!

I don’t think so.

Having less children means having worse ratio of elderly to young people, which strains social security and may ultimately force seniors to work until they die, while young generation will see an ever greater burden of disabled elderly.

Unless you want to shoot people after certain age, that is. But, happily, this is a tradeoff unlikely to be accepted.

I’m not aware, was Pocahontas shot like that or is it a post about men hate?

Cyberpunk is more about finding something normal among a clear dystopia rather than finding dystopia among normality :D

But it is immersive and emotional indeed.

I’m not quite onboard with your “punishing men” rhetoric later in the thread, but here I agree

Like, how many attempts are now undertaken to pitch men and women against one another or otherwise separate them, and how far can this rabbit hole go?

Men are growing wary of women - and everyone’s cheering as MGTOW raises heads again. Women are getting increasingly defensive - and breed fear and loathing, as crowds cheer again. Both play off each other to show how much the other side sucks.

One is only seen as friendly if they support this division; anyone trying to bridge it is seen as a bad actor.

Stop it. Fuck 4B. Fuck MGTOW. Fuck that conservative dude who thinks they have a right for a woman’s body. Fuck those who put all men into sexual offenders category. Let common sense, love, and responsibility to each other prevail. Go outside and protest gerontocrats trying to take women’s right for their own body. Allow and encourage men to stand alongside and be part of the fight against forces many of them didn’t choose. Never put all people in one basket, and fight your true enemy.

Sure, but effective enough to make a drastic change to fertility rate.

Still, I see where you’re going with it

The instance has 200 users active in the last month. Not quite a trove :D

Nice!

I see. Think it’s an overkill and people can use contraception instead of going full separate, but there is kind of a point in there
