Borrow someone’s computer? Use one at your local library?

This is Israel’s version of de-escalating an escalating conflict. Disgusting animals.

A supervisor should understand the concept of respecting people’s boundaries. You could always say something like “Hey I’m not really in the mood to talk right now” or “This isn’t something I want to talk about”. Just a fair warning if you do this, you might get labeled as the odd one the same way you mentioned if you go to HR (the HR one would be a bit worse if I’m being honest).

You can buy a raspberry pi and have Pihole setup on it. It’ll act as your local dns server and block any ad domains for the whole household.

There’s no problem with that. It’s clear based on your responses that you’re just trying to understand it and wrap your mind around it. Just thought to give you a heads up about the term in case you start using it or something.

I see where you’re coming from. Just keep in mind that the original intent of the group has been stolen a long time ago, something like 10 years ago at this point. At this point these people aren’t a sub-group of incels. They’ve completely co-opted the term and rebranded the incel term. Anyone who was originally incel for the right reasons has run off so far away from this term they might as well be in another planet. And I don’t blame them, who wants to be lumped into misogynistic assholes who fantasize about killing and raping women as well as underage girls simply because they think they’re entitled to sex?

It started off as people who are involuntarily celibate due to unfortunate circumstances. It ended up being co-opted by individuals incapable of self-reflection and self-improvement to understand that their celibacy is entirely based on their lack of hygiene and attitude towards women. They would rather blame the world for their problems instead of owning up to them and making positive changes in their lives.

Does identifying as an incel automatically come with those negative beliefs around gender and society, or should those two have separate terms?

Absolutely, yes. Incel culture is one of misogyny and sexism. People identifying as incels are typically the ones who blame women for not wanting to have sex with them while doing nothing to make women actually want to have sex with them.

My advice to you OP is stay far away from individuals and communities identifying as incel or pro-incel.

If it’s enforced it kind of loses it’s charm and appeal, no?

What industry OP?

Persons is used in a more formal context like legal document. People is used in conversations. This is generally speaking of course.

I could be wrong here but it may be that your sister is not laughing at your use of the word since it’s actually correct. it could be she’s laughing at your generalization of “those people” as that can sometimes be seen as condescending or derogatory.

We’ll know after the election.

It might be that these endorsements help bring in some more moderate Republicans to her side but there’s also a very real possibility that she disincentive the more left leaning voters from voting for her as well. Remember, Hillary lost because she didn’t do enough to incentivize people to vote for her. She just relied on people hating Trump and didn’t rely on people actually liking her. Regardless, this is all conjecture. It’s too early to tell and no one will have a definitive answer until the results are in and a winner is announced.

Sorry, guard-prisoner privilege.

It’s a capitalist invention and, therefore, will be used for whatever capitalists deem it profitable to be. Once the money for AI home assistants starts rolling in, then you’ll see it adopted for that purpose.

These countries you’re thinking of are usually attacked regularly where survival is an everyday struggle. For people who dedicate their everyday to survival; it’s only expected that they would be fighting back.

In terms of funding…a lot of rich people would love to take advantage of people in this kind of situation. You could also easily make the argument that these rich people help cultivate this kind of situation for their own benefit as well.

This isn’t an uncommon or unheard of fact…Googling it will produce a lot of results and studies surrounding it…

For instance, it has been found that using computers excessively can lead to impulsivity, hyperactivity, disorganization, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating and completing tasks - all signs of ADHD.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trudeau is watching what happens with the American election and will base his decisions on that. There haven been some parallels drawn already.

I truly hate what Conservatives have done to politics in this country.

Why is working towards a cleaner and better environment such a controversial issue? They’ve turned the political landscape into an outrage theatre on what pisses people off the most.

I’m sure people will see this and think things like “Oh well, of course they would have you seen the quality of movies lately?” or “Well Gen Z tend to be more social than previous generations so that probably is a factor”.

While true, I wonder how much of it is due to engagement? Gen Z is the first generation who grew up primarily on technology. We’ve all seen parents who just give their kids their phones or tablets and let them sit there quietly for hours. It tends to lead to hyperactive minds and movies wouldn’t satisfy that kind of person (usually). Games definitely would though.

A 1 year suspended sentence for having hundreds of CP pics on his phone? That’s just ridiculously low.

That’s actually really impressive. Good for you OP.
