I'm just going to copy&paste what I said 2 days ago when this was last posted.

Concentrate the population into camps

"Hey! I've seen this one, this is a classic!"

Article still fails to address that therapy for men and women is different. The entire therapy system is designed to work for women which is why it doesn't often work for men.

"Women discuss their problems face to face. Men discuss their problems shoulder to shoulder."

Is the saying, or near abouts, used to refer to this. Sitting down and talking 1 on 1 with someone is more likely to work for women while men have a preference towards doing something.

"Human beings" vs "Human doings", is another way of putting it.

If you want a man to open up about something you need to give him 3 things to achieve that.

  1. Time. He will talk when he is ready.

  2. Space. Sitting in a room, no matter the size, will not work. Men need to be active while the time passes.

  3. Safety. This usually means it needs to be another man he talks to who will have the inate understanding about talking about personal things, and won't turn around and blab to everyone 5 minutes later.

Now it's very, very, VERY likely once these 3 things are sorted it may still take hours, and hours, and hours or both mundane working and chatting about things completely unrelated to whatever the topic at hand is, this is mostly because it's letting the guy feel things out with whomever he is talking to and judging if he can trust him enough to actually open up. And when he does it will probably appear random and spontaneous to whatever else is going on rather than having been prompted to do so from some external stimuli.

tl;dr article is part of the problem perpetuating women-centric therapy methods for men despite it [still] not working.

modifying, repressing, eliminating or denying his sexual orientation

Just wait long enough and watch the new arrivals do exactly that in droves once the balance of power tips.

So that's yet another reason Syrian refugees can now return home, yes?

There's a comic along those lines where an AI gains access to nuclear launch codes and the scientists all panic at the presumed coming nuclear apocalypse when the AI decides to rid the world of its biggest problems. After a 3rd panel where the scientists see nothing has actually happened they wonder what is going on, only for the 4th panel to show all the nukes heading towards Israel.

The more they let things like this simmer the more likely they are to eventually find themselves in the same situation as that German cop who died after getting stabbed trying to stop an attacker being restrained.

My bet would have been on turning the whole thing gay, but I guess blackwashing is the more common approach these days.

One thing that was mentioned is that he planned for Nymeria, Arya's dire wolf, to actually fucking do something, and not be a throwaway scene like happened in the show.

Most just weren't paying attention to him years ago because his talking points weren't yet at the point of a wider public discourse.

My main gripe about the image is 2 of those figs should be falling off the table. Well, that and the further of the two watermelon slices is done badly so the interior looks like the exterior. Was this somehow done with shitty AI?

Other than that it looks truly delicious.
