2 Kings 2:23-24: A story about what happens when you make fun of bald dudes

You’re just discounting the entire portion of people who don’t want families.
No, I’m simply saying I don’t know any men like that personally. I know they exist, of course. It’s just that in my circle of influence I only know family-focused men. My whole point was that such men aren’t necessarily a rarity, but now I’m starting to think that was the point all along.
Nice to meet you, Mare. 🙂
I don’t know any men who would choose a career-focused woman over a family-focused one. I don’t think this is as much ESH as you make it out to be.
Forget about making a fortune, I just want to be able to afford to move out of my parents’ house.
Well, of course. Conservatism (and authoritarianism) at least pays lip service to addressing their concerns. From their perspective, the Left have ignored and devalued them for years.
When a man is disadvantaged but is constantly told he is the beneficiary of the patriarchal system, he feels dismissed and unsupported, and his actual needs aren’t met.
Can confirm that Windows Server is taught in school IT programs, and can confirm that Windows Server is still being used for both Active Directory and on-premises virtualization (Hyper-V). I interned at a large international organization with networks on 6 continents and it was moving its server infrastructure back to its own datacenters because of rising costs of cloud hosting. It used Hyper-V on Windows Server to host every thing.
And yet, half of my website is hosted on Azure Storage. That little unsolicited remark about Microsoft’s valuation at the bottom is clearly the result of smoking too much copium by the biased author.
Instructions unclear, what should I do with this bloody rock?
Yeah, Medi-Cal has a ton of problems (like paying healthcare providers way less than they earn from every other insurance plan) and its county-by-county administration is a bit wonky, but it has been a boon to me as well.
I’m sure there are differences, but I don’t know the extent of the differences. I would like to think that they’re minor, since it’s a federally funded program, but who knows.
Unfortunately, you are wrong in this case. Medicaid coverage and funding vary significantly between states, as can be seen here: https://www.medicaid.gov/state-overviews/index.html
Coverage has improved in most states since 2020, but few states try to implement Medicaid as comprehensively as California, and several implement it as minimally as possible without violating federal law.
Medi-Cal is the state of California’s Medicaid implementation. It is only available to residents of California and even within the state, its usefulness varies widely.
Latter-day Saints were some of the earliest white settlers of Las Vegas, if you can believe it.
What is extreme about your talking points is the implicit assumption that a person taking any position right of center is a “racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobe, transphobe, climate denialist, book burner, and christian nationalist”. Spewing bigoted and divisive rhetoric like this alienates even centrists like myself. It’s a hateful worldview that could easily lead to violence. I hope you find the help you need.
You’ve become radicalized, friend: Your extremist rhetoric makes that clear. I hope you can find your way out.
You reduced “sliding to the right” to “becoming a racist, sexist, misogynist” and completely missed the point. Rather than dictating to our kids what they should believe, we should teach them principles that will allow them the best chance of choosing correctly for themselves.
Honestly, attitudes like yours are a huge contributor to the rightward shift of young men.
I have a problem with the inherent hypocrisy in this article. The author presents the issue of her sons “sliding to the right” as a problem in itself, rather than explaining why she thinks it is a problem.
If you, as a parent, see a shift in your child’s belief system or political preferences as a problem, you need to do some introspection and be able to fully articulate why it’s a problem other than “I don’t like it.”
I think men in general need to stop smelling their own farts and take a long, hard, and uncomfortable look in the mirror.
Figure out who exactly it is you want to be. What traits does this version of yourself have? Chances are, ‘intolerant shit sack’ aren’t the words we want to describe ourselves with.
I think this mentality is why so many men have a problem with feminism. When you start your conversation with “you’re the problem”, you’re going to alienate the group you’re attempting to reach out to. Men have real problems that deserve to be noticed and recognized, and not all of them are a result of patriarchal culture. Telling them that they’re to blame for their problems because they’re “intolerant shit sacks” is just going to convince them that the problem is feminism.
From what I’ve read, both men’s and women’s brains reach maturity sometime in their 30s.
Well, this is completely unsurprising and what many people have been saying for decades.
Just a side note, the whole “men’s brains don’t mature until they’re 25” thing is a myth.
It’s disappointing that the effects of discrimination against childless men are downplayed in the article, which focuses on discrimination against mothers.
