@thor stated that "leftists created incels", and that's wrong. The image of a "real man" was created by other men, and that is toxic for all men unable to conform. If more are driven to suicide (if that's true, since once upon a time they could simply enlist in a war and let themselves be shot) then maybe because they can't let their frustration and feelings of being inadequate out by violence?
BTW: Boys are victims of the education system, no leftists there.

real bad when 10% of US boys gets diagnosed with ADHD (CDC, 2016) without experts questioning the underlying reasons.

@zleap
Thank you for boosting this forward! I appreciate it!

It definitely seems like the failure of price controls and the rapid inflation on prices for fuel have been the immediate driving force. But, as you said, I have the sense that wider dynamics of capitalist inequality, and its relation to the regime and the natural gas trade are very much in play here

I'm tracking events in Kazakhstan with some people right now. Information that we have been able to find is pretty scarce, and of course bound up with any number of online propaganda campaigns. I have been seeing the looting and the seizure of weapons from the military and police, but the main factions are a bit hard to identify.

Does anyone here have a sense for what is happening there now or any contacts on the ground?

If you think about it, we programmers are linguists: we speak computer and teach computers to speak human.

I think the two go hand-in-hand, since our problem here is that a lot of the content is regular updates, and some of the exceptional stuff gets lost in the flow when no one interacts with it enough to boost it.

As I said: the Fedi is run by hellthreads.

@amerika @brian @thor @zleap Yeah. Posting more quality content was something that I wanted to see on the fediverse more since the degeneracy is so common and I decided unconsciously that I should at least contribute in this way over time. Would be great to see more content like this and to interact with the people contributing in that way.

Listed a 50-yr-old microfiche cabinet on local email list (Front Porch Forum) and guy who picked it up (on-time!) have me bottles of his homemade vinegar as a thank you.

Next time someone tells you border security is racist, tell them fentanyl is the number one cause of death in the US for people in the 18-45 year old age group.

Over 40,000 people in that age group died in the US from fentanyl poisoning in 2021.

Most fentanyl comes from China through Mexico. Dealers lace it into other, less harmful drugs like marijuana, so many don't know they're using it until it's too late.

It's a national security and health issue, not a racist issue.
