Since I've deepened my study of women and inevitably started looking into psychopaths, I am beginning to change my view on capital punishment, and not consider it entirely out of the question.

The guy, though, seems to be on the autistic, not the psychopathic spectrum. And he practically surrendered. Not a strong opinion, but I think this is not a case for an execution, unless he himself requests it.

@adam-l i haven't looked at it in a few years now, but it was always good for a laugh.

You know, I bet their posts right after Trump's victory last November would be pretty amusing. I must remember to peek in sometime.

If memory serves, one of their moderators is /u/BardFin who is the head mod of /r/AgainstHateSubreddits, the faggiest bunch of pearl-clutchers ever.

@adam-l I'd say that goes for adults as well. Almost all news coverage is spun one way or another. It's hardly ever just reporting the facts. Lots of emotionally charged language, and subtle insinuations meant to make you riled up - partly to support certain political narratives, and partly to consume more news.

The news media seldom speaks to your intellect, but rather to your endocrine system. If you want to learn something, read a book by someone obsessed by a particular subject. Journalist are not particularly informed, nor particularly intelligent or curious.

Also, "most people are still pretty normal" doesn't make for a good news story. Nothing positive does (which, btw, the world is full of). That part isn't on journalists though, that part is on us.

@Steve2002 I know what you're talking about. It does suck...

One problem is sexualization from a very young age. It doesn't give you space and time to wonder whether Goofy is a dog or a cow.

Sexual rejection can be taken care of with a trip to some third world country, where women are more ... affordable. Intimacy, by cultivating male friendships. Then, sexual intimacy still remains as a problem, but maybe taking care of the other issues helps.

@First-light this reminds me the story of the most powerful Chinese empress I once read about. The ways in which she tortured her sexual rivals to death is quite graphic. Any person doing such stuff today would, of course, spend their life in an asylum.

I want to make an important point: if you have kids, protect them from the news.

A kid below 12 doesn't need to know about the looming doomsday, the pending economic collapse, or each and every murder and war in the nation and worldwide.

You are not dumbing your kid down. Kids develop in stages. They first need to establish a basic trust in the goodness of the world, a positive outlook for the future. Only on that substratum can the dangers of the world be properly understood, without compromising their mental health.

It's ok for kids to live in a magical, happy world, for a while. It's their only chance.

@Typo-MAGAshiv omfg no

@adam-l I take it you've never seen the "witches against patriarchy" subreddit?

So, we learned that Etsy, the mostly female trinket platform, has a "witches" section, in which they sell actual spells (e.g. for having a good weather on your wedding day).

Jezebel, the feminist site, had paid Etsy witches to curse Kirk...

More and more, feminists reference magic, "the female goddess" and such stuff, and even organize rituals. Like, for real.

It's not a metaphor that women live in a fantasy world.
