I pick up the from school, take them to the park where I play with them and give them their afternoon snack, take them home, keep them busy for a while, bathe them in turns, prepare and give them dinner, clear up the kitchen a bit, brush their teeth, prepare a baby bottle, read them a story in bed and get them to sleep. And at the time of writing these lines they are still alive. (My wife has a long work day plus some appointments today — other times it’s the other way around, of course.)

After all that I feel superhuman.

I’m not asking for a medal or anything: this is my responsibility, and I chose this life.

But it makes me realise that in spite of all my complaints about modern (and boy do I have some complaints about modern feminism) and my tireless defence of men and fathers, it’s clear that

ARE FUCKING AWESOME, AND THEY HAVE BEEN AWESOME FOR MILLENNIA.

Much respect.

@tripu “Capital” is, for the most part, just another word for “savings”.

Whoever is against capital is also against savings, knowingly or not. And people unable to accumulate capital/savings are forever wage slaves.

Even a UBI will keep people as dependent on the UBI forever unless they save and accumulate capital.

You can't free yourself without capital accumulation.

«El gran problema es la consideración del varón como un sexo (o género) moralmente inferior. Los horrores causados por el , como la guerra o los crímenes, se asocian a la masculinidad, mientras que sus logros literarios, científicos o artísticos se explican por un sistema de opresión que no permitía a la alcanzar dichos hitos.

I do not think you are wrong. Urban environments are too cramped for anything but cats, and most people do not have the time to devote to pets outside of jobs, shopping, restaurants, gyms, dating, etc.

I don’t like , and I don’t understand the concept of keeping pets in urban environments.

Very few species are adapted to live well in an apartment, right? Some cat breeds, rodents, what else?

It always seemed cruel to me.

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?"

Yes. Life is about more than constant and meaningless toil for 40-50 years and a desolate twilight of failed ambitions. The social contract is broken and the system is a lie. You and I are both trapped in the same Sisyphean hell, where no amount working harder or longer will ever truly grant the rewards we were promised. The real question is, why are there no gaps in YOUR resume?

“People who detest , […] instead of trying to make differences go away, they accentuate them. How? By building group . […] If you want prejudice to go away, don’t tell people to be proud of their identities.
