"Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills"

Men face sexism too!

You might have heard people dismissing misandry as unimportant because 'there's no systemic discrimination against men' or the famous saying "Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills"

Occasionally, you might hear that there is systemic misogyny, which may occasionally backfire against men occasionally.

But is this true? Let's look at the facts

The Law

According to a very indepth review by Sonja Starr, she deduced that Men get 63% longer sentences for the same crime. While it is true that men are more likely to commit crimes, it doesn't explain the gender disparity, which is alot longer than racial disparity, which means even an African American woman would get a shorter sentence than a white man.

Men's troubles don't start there. Men are more likely to be stopped by the police, and even when women are stopped, [we are less lik

I broke a co workers brain by saying “this is just a job”

So a couple of days ago a co worker was trying to give me shit for going slow, I responded “ I’m still getting everything done, this is just a job, what are they gonna do, fire me?” Apparently that really upset her and she hasn’t come in the last few days, she’s still on the schedule so I don’t think she quit. The office gossip told me it has something to do with what I said. I’m a little proud of myself.

Privacy @lemmy.ml
Blinky @lemmy.ml

PSA: whether you use signal, element/matrix, xmpp, briar, etc, you're doing good!

I see a lot of down votes and conflict in privacy communities about which one is the best, but tbh, if you're not using fb/sms/email you're pretty much the top 1% of privacy users. So as far as we should be concerned, that's good enough.

The debates about signal being better than matrix etc are fine to have, but IMO it'd be more productive if we spoke more about how to get granny, the boss, the nephew, etc on signal, matrix etc. Doesn't matter how good any of our privacy apps are, I almost never meet a single person who uses any of them and have to default to fb. Most people over yonder haven't even heard of the apps that aren't telegram or signal.

IMO targeting the discorders(/telegramers) is the lowest hanging fruit. Discord/tg is already bridge compatible with matrix, if you can use LibreOffice, you can set up the t2bot discord-matrix bridge.

Tenants often seem to move in during warmer months

I kept track of when other tenants were moving in and out:

March, june, june, april

There were a few interesting cases:

dec (within building transfer), jan 1 (due to breakup)

I suspect rental prices will increase in response to one of these but have not recorded prices around me.

Housing crisis notes

characteristics of places that wont have a housing shortage;

  • poor economic growth
  • Not a city, urbanization/globalization seems to make it worse

While some people claim that a "healthy" ratio of jobs to housing units is around 2 new jobs for every 1 unit of housing, many California metros are far from that, with San Diego at 3.9, Los Angeles at 4.7, and San Francisco at 6.8

What are all the expenses associated with cars?

  • Buying the car
  • Insurance (mandatory sometimes)
  • Repairs
  • Long term parking spot (garage)
  • Street parking
  • parking tickets (sorta)
  • Fuel
  • Windshield wiper fluid
  • Oil change
  • car cleaning (sometimes)
  • Wheels (seasonal)

Anything else?

Indirectly: The burden on the environment, and if you drive long distances every day, your mental and physical health.

How to mute incoming calls from a specific person on messenger?

I have their messages muted, which is great. But they call me on fb and my phone rings.

Recommend me a peertuber/odyseer/youtuber I could watch to increase my finances

Increase my financial literacy, or learning how stocks really work. I took economics 101 and 102 so I know some bare basics about the economy, but in particular I want to learn more about things which I could use as personal finance. Economics 101+102 isn't that much about individuals.

Preference would be peertube, then odysee then youtube

Psyc 107 Buddhist psyhology notes

Professor: Eleanor H. Rosch

Lecture 1:

Buddist psychology – looking at the mind from the point of view of someone who has a mind.

Psychology – looking at mind from 3rd person point of view.

Direct experience – knowing what is going on with you. • Alienated from direct experience by personal judgments.

3 major forms of Buddhism in the world:

  • Teribata – speech of the elders
  • Mahariana – great vehicle – china, vietnam
  • Diamond vehicle – japan, china, tiabet
  • Perhaps a 4th form: Shabala – incorporate wisdom of buddism. Incorporate other features from world. Say individual dev and enlighted society needed to happen at the same time.

Buddhism started in india. Earliest form spread to lower eastern asia.

3 yana approach: way of teaching. • Dev of historical mind (see what earlier buddist ppl saw). Each buddism form builds upon each other. • Like a fetus going through evolutionary stages.

Gave out a few short readings in different voices. Many articles, trying to get

Fediverse Futures @lemmy.ml

I think a good goal is getting each fediverse project it's own wikipedia page

To get a wikipedia page, each project has to be notable enough.

Tldr; Each project has to "receive significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." In practice this means media coverage from like cnn, vice, vox, etc.

The fediverse has many projects already so it might not be feasible for them all the have their own wikipedia pages. But even projects like pleroma don't have wikipedias and pleroma is quite big.

Don't ever add automod to lemmy

I dislike how to post on like the majority of big subreddit, you have to have X karma, Y account age etc, and those things seem to be enforced by automod. A really good feature of lemmy for me is there being no automod!
