What are we going to do about all The Problems? YouTube video by Dr. Hilary Agro, PhD

Thank you kindly for the work you do on this!

I would also love to have a conversation about The Problem, as you laid out in this video. It has been my special interest for a few years now and I have some ideas.

NEW: Men are not trash.

Every time we say that, it helps the rich vampire perverts in the Epstein Files because it makes it seem like it's just inherent to men's nature to be predators. It's not!

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

**Alt text (more literal):**
A photo of a large screen at the front of a room showing a blue slide with the headline β€œEmergency Call to Action!” in bold black text. Below, smaller text says: β€œDemand an immediate stay of removal for Springfield parent, Juan David!” Several paragraphs explain that on Monday 2/2 the government filed a motion to transfer Juan David for deportation, that a hearing on 2/4 resulted in a judge denying a petition allowing him to stay in Massachusetts, and that congressional offices are needed to demand an emergency stay of removal. The final paragraph notes he has a pending T visa case stemming from labor trafficking and should not be deported. On the right side of the slide is a green box listing phone numbers: β€œCall: Senator Markey: 617-565-8519; Senator Warren: 617-565-3170; Rep. Neal: 413-785-0325.” The tops of several people’s heads are visible at the bottom edge of the photo. A black overlay at the bottom contains white text reading: β€œLiterally just now. Please call ASAP. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD RIGHT NIW.”

I'm beginning to grapple with how even though there are not actually pedos everywhere, it still sometimes feels as if there is, simply because of their immense influence on the culture

The most annoying thing about patriarchy, for me, is how much it interferes with finding genuine romance and intimacy. All women are initially a little standoffish at first, because women don't feel safe with men by default, because too many men are actually scary and dangerous.

"The desktop has so thoroughly integrated into the act computing that it is actually hard to see it as a metaphor. The icon of a file ceased long ago to be a visual representation of the data stored somewhere on the machine and instead is the file. A file doesn’t feel like it is β€œaccessed” through a folderβ€” we think of it as being physically in that folder. It is difficult to uncouple the act of using a computer with that of using the desktop interface. Even for someone like me who spends a fair amount of time programming in non-visual interface of the terminal, they are inextricably linked. The terminal shell feels held by the desktop, not the other way around."

Also, RedoxOS should have a wizard that detects the hardware you have and installs only the necessary drivers for you, since that's a microkernel with drivers in user space.

So to summarize:
To survive I need a job. To get a job, I need to go through the job market. The job market is a constantly shifting labyrinth where I can't see more than three feet in front of me.

wtf???
