swimming is better to get in shape without the possibility of getting hurt

but judo is so much more fun.
in general, do a sport that you like to do instead of trying to optimize calorie burning by doing boring stuff you have to force yourself to.

>>309203
im doing hema for a while now, swordfighting if you want
it uses modern protective gear and is pretty technical, not about force or speed. and its done mostly by nerds. classes are mixed, but people are usually very chill.

i practice mma

>>309203
>be starting a judo class soon

how is it going?! is it a hoot as much as you hoped?!

>>309203
how many people have you beaten up, now that you know kung fu, op

>>309079
Winner.

there are plenty of cool kind interesting normies who can think for themselves at least partially, and then there is legitimate normopathy, which is not discussed enough.

>>309628
elaborate.

I dont think normies are really normies, they are schizos yet to bloom

why did you decide to come back to your online ways

My ring finger is longer but I have zero attraction to women, my knuckles are kind of large too. I don't look masculine, I'm autistic though.

>>227473
My ring finger is longer and I used to be more of a lesbian but nowadays my fantasies revolve around torturing males and making a male submit to me as my cute boyslave. I've always been more of a tomboy and act aggressively. I think I'm just mentally demented. Any other ring-finger-supremacists mentally demented?

>>227473
My index finger is longer, and I'm straight

>>227473
women are supposed to have a longer index than ring and it's based on androgen exposure in the womb (so if yours are equal or your ring is bigger than your index then it means you were exposed to more androgen in the womb than the average woman)

Paying the bills is easier in 2 so all you need to do is get a boyfriend

Wow.

Americans say the Soviet Union was a huge success.

Maybe this has something to do with it.

Each country has their own cost of living situation even though most share the same currency. Northern and southern Europe was always split on the living with parents issue (also on a lot of other issues and some countries like Italy have their own north/south splits). The thing that changed in recent years though was that the upper age limit got higher for both the north and south. Then there is stuff in the graph that isn't accounted for for example luxembourg is filled to the brim with expats because its a tax haven for corporations which explains the inflated number

Nobody can afford to leave their parents house anymore. Even with a 9-5 office job. Fuck this economy

It's irritating to have struggled with what was diagnosed as Asperger's and to not have the resources or support I needed as a kid and yet seeing it turn into a social contagion nightmare. A majority of people that say it with pride probably aren't. Especially the "it's not a disability" crowd. It's been severely disabling for me to the point that I can't function well without support. Shits irritating to me. The amount of toxic people I've dealt with who blame it on "neuro-divergence" to my face have made me distrust most people who try to act wholesome. And the people that try and enable it. Destroys social groups and causes hostility in work environments.

I have been thinking recently about how autism is often said to be underdiagnosed in women due to "presenting differently" in females. My theory is that autism does not actually present differently in girls, it is just treated differently by gender– ignored for girls and coddled for boys. Autistic girls don't "act" autistic because they are actually forced by society to function within it.

Obviously this does not apply to severe cases, but I wonder how many high-functioning autistic boys have actually been stunted by diagnosis; obviously all males are socialized with entitlement and lack of empathy but autistic males moreso. In my opinion, if they were simply raised like autistic girls are (which is to say, just treated normal), they would be able to be more independent and better functioning.

autistic brains don't do "synaptic pruning"
in essence, you make neural connections between different parts of the brain and the unused/unnecessary neurons are supposed to get pruned like the leaves of a shrub

but autism prevents the brain from making itself more efficient, signals from one brain region to another have to take a way longer route than allistic signals to get to where they're needed

this is worse in autistics who were forced to be as "normal" as possible as children because overstimulating the brain will cause lots more initial branches to lay the groundwork for a completely out of control amount of "excess" neural connections

you may wanna look into meditation's effects on grey brain matter because it made the speaking delay shorter for me

also, all of you spiteful neurotypicals literally ruin lives by being impatient and forcible about monotropy especially for autistic children. unless you start killing us (america seems to be about to begin with that) the only way to make it better for everyone is accomodation

>>298830
Normal moids don't pick on autistic women and don't try to shun them, but normal women pick on autistic moids constantly and genuinely get the ick just from their existence. Or of any lower value moid for that matter.

>>308951
Utter bs. Competition between moids and women presents differently - overt vs covert. Moids are competitive towards eachother and bully eachother openly, calling names, showing 0 empathy, being harsh etc. While women play along, show empathy, are there for one another and generally emotiknally available when one is crying or upset, meanwhile on the other side - 'Boys don't cry'.
Regular people can also have meltdowns but learn early on to deal with it differently- women develop more complex ways of addressing those emotions while moids learn to repress them and 'be a man'.

It depends on what country you're in. Of course, being a billionaire CEO of a mutinational corporation will get you a seat at any table. In my country, all you need to join the ruling class is a law degree, public speaking lessons and some wealthy donors who'll bankroll your election campaign in exchange for favourable grants and voting positions. Then you just need to be a soulless, empty suit and serve the interests of millionaire donors until you can do enough insider trading to fund your own multi-million dollar business and perpetuate the cycle.

marry a rich moid

study up on historical figures who went from rags to riches and follow in their footsteps

If you're asking on cc it's already too late.

Americans are so completely insane now that Americans scream banning baseball hats is wonderful because cowboy hat collections will increase in value.

i'll kill him and then kill myself

I'm only scared of dogs in the environment I am but roads I bike on seem safe

>>271395
same, im less scared of dangerous men than stray dogs especially in packs and the occasional bear we have around here. and the government does nothing about this shit.
anyways to answer the question i enjoy running, camping and exploring.
>how do you balance safety with enjoyment if you go out alone?
i think 'YOLO' and just do it

This looks more like a scam than a recreational activity aimed at enhancing your well-being

Vanilla smells good, thoughever.

Vanilla in summer?!

For a block of butter with measuring lines open the block on both sides and have one side for unmeasured scooping and one where you always go by the line. This way you'll always have somewhat even measures for baking without having to dedicate the whole block

>>307394
just get two blocks of butter lol

if you'd only use one half length-wise you have to double the bars you use because they measure cross-width and that's annoying and probably inconvenient

I do phd in quantum physics, so did my moid

update pls
how did it end

CS major here, graduated with a bachelor's recently. I wish that there were as many women in the industry as there are in school, even just 20% women would be nice. I work at some startup now where they're basically all moids. They really think that they're so much smarter and funnier than they are, especially the young engineers. They give me good projects and great learning opportunities and consider me smart and capable, but it's clear that I'm an outsider, and they've still made women bad jokes with me in the room. I hate a lot of the internet and what it's become. I hate AI so much, and how I'm watching my coworkers lose their ability to read and hold a cohesive thought in real time because they use their shitty chatbots for everything. I hate how much conceit there is, and how everything must move as fast as possible with only respect for the holy dollar, and no respect for the basic software development maintainability (AI generated code slop and not a single test case). Though in this economy, it's hard to be picky. As soon as I get enough experience I'm going to an established company or government, and will try to pick up expertise in slower-moving concentrations (maybe embedded software?). I'd go completely out of the industry and into something more business-adjacent even, if it meant that there were more women with an actual HR department and the company actually cared about work-life balance and the longevity of the programs you write. I do find the work itself really exciting. I get to write an entire application, and even some embedded work on the side. Though a lot of the fun of it gets sucked out when higher-ups want you to move at a pace you can only move at if you have AI solve half of the problems for you.

>>308711
I got a 100 and A+ in the class.
I am never working with moids again. I am back to normal health too.

>>309477
Grim…I kind of want to start my own business but I need to brainstorm some more and maybe wage for a few years.

My class had like 5 girls out of 25 people maybe. Electronic engineering.
Granted, I am in Russia, so maybe that changes things.

The main problem is that specific movements and political changes are grounded in American theology and such changes would never happen on it's own. American culture is rooted in puritan principles of pain and work for the sake of work. To the puritan to acuminate wealth and then the refusal to use it was the ultimate demonstration of gods grace and the more total wealth you accumulate the better a person you therefore are. Even as the world becomes more secular these ideas are still core tenants of the Americas. We glorify work and treat a none consent desire to amass more wealth as lazy or fundamentally degrading. People with economic struggles aren't helped because the people with the money see themselves as gods chosen people and those who are struggling are struggling because they deserve it.
An American feminist movement will never consider the idea of a modern woman not spending all her time working because not working = being less than people who are and the government won't help those kinds of house wives because the upper class hate anyone not in their social level and those people are literally destined to suffer.

>One provider, a large house, 2 to 3 kids, firmly middle class with relatively few struggles. On paper, it sounds like the ideal life.

The thing is that this just wasnt available for everyone. People often think that more or less the whole country lived like this, but in reality it was definitely not the majority.

My father was born in 1954 in rural northern germany and his family was dirt poor, despite both his parents being teachers (his dad full time, his mom half time). They didnt have a bathroom, the toilet was a little hut in the garden, there was one faucet in the entire house and they first got a car when he was a teenager, in the sixties. Things might have been different in the US, but in germany people also often romantize the past and act like the average person was well off compared to today, while they could easily just ask their grandparents what it was like.

>>309366
I like your ideas, but I dont think they would work.
Birthrates collapse all over the planet, and the factor is always women's education. The only countries with a birthrate over 2 or even a growing birthrate are poor and have little education to offer. There is just no way to reverse this, the only reason why so many women got so many children in the past is because they literally had no real other choice. There was simply no real life other than one in isolation and poverty if you decided against marriage and children. Your idea of subsidizing women with children is at the core not really different from all the other stuff governments already do to support mothers. Having such things is nice for mothers, but still, people wont want more children because of this.
