9:07am and tell me to return 15 minutes after and I'd be pulling out my phone every 5 seconds and doing math.

Is it really so hard to add 15?

Not to mention they're worse at keeping time.

You know, like the whole point of a watch.

It was all group therapy and I hated repeating myself all the time.

My experience was similar.

You go to therapy to be listened to, and instead you end repeating yourself 100 times because nobody is fucking listening. It was legitimately more frustrating than not going, because I was literally paying money to have someone listen to me and they still couldn't fucking do it.

That's some solid reframing, bro 👍

sees the whole world doing something

Look how the West has influenced the world!

I think this more of an indication that conservatism is not a strictly Western thing.

Did you eat it raw? Or like ...how did you notice it was warm? Usually eggs get pretty hot when they're cooked.

Good grief I sure hope whoever designed those knows what pi is

This works great for highly educated white collars!

Not for the other 70%+ of the workforce though.

That may be the case but it is not a rebuttal to my point.

Those things have had an influence on the perception of masculinity. And yes, TERFs have had an influence on the perception of feminism. And simply saying they don't count isn't an effective way of countering that influence.

Just because you don't think so doesn't mean those things haven't had influence on the cultural perception of it.

I understand the desire to separate yourself from those things as an individual. And I don't know what method will work, but simply telling people the "manosphere" just doesn't count isn't going to change anyone's minds.

But you're not. Trump is still living a lavish life full of excess, despite his debts.

Wealth is about lifestyle, not numbers.

It's their culture!
