Questioning Aurhority.
Probably the most important ability to internalize, yet rarely told by anyone. Turns out most authorities dont like being questioned in terms of legitimacy, yet its important to not blindly follow someone just because of a title. Especially if the title is worthless and does not reflect relevant skills. Everyone can act as CEO, but not everyone can be a medical doctor.
Buy some area desinfectant and regularly use it on the bathroom floor and toilet seat.
The first is to prevent warts under your feet, the second is against infektions like akne or your skin. Works pretty well so far.
Be carefull not to accidentally pour the desinfectant INTO your toilet, it might react with something. Use a paper towel to hold the chemicals instead.
Assumption is thats in dollars:
Buy every single relevant news outlet, social media platform and information network. Then you remove all the right-wing garbage and replace it with the actual truth. Agressivly ban accounts who spread lies and hate for violating guidelines. Make accounts visible if they are bots or not.
Be partisan about it: Progressive ideas over conservatism.
In essence: Remove as much poison from the internet as possible, so people are no longer getting sucked into conservative pipelines and bubbles.
Which is also funny because that leads directly to a lot of mental problems for these men.
I see a change is this trend, but a lot of damage has already been done and it will take quite a while to recover from this.
Men are often expected to swallow their emotions and just “function”, while women are allowed and even encouraged to display them openly
No idea, but I notice it too
Just blocked and reported an account and the single shill-post it produced. Not sure what to do about it, maybe we need more mods

For Elon, ego-death is just death.
The ammount will not hurt him.
The damage to his frail ego certainly will.
I work in IT, there the situation for corpos who want to force RTO is just a nightmare.
There are a bunch of companies waiting with open arms and better contracts to gather these disgruntled workes with knowledge in the industry. So not only do you loose a lot, your competition grows stronger at the same time.
On top of that, if you dont need to rent a huge building at high price, massively cutting costs on overhead an maintenance.
And once the bleeding starts its hard to stop: Others need to pick up more work, get pissed and then also leave for greener pastures.
All because you are stuck in the past.
One of the more honest arguments I have seen about RTO:
The company has rented an important building for operations.
That building is prime real-estate, which is now loosing value, because no one is using it and no one wants to buy it.
Since that can get very expensive, forcing use of the building to keep the investment stable makes sense on paper.
Result: Workers are forced back into office, to everyones detremend. Just because some guys asset is loosing value and now everyone else has to suffer because of it.
Simple material effect.
People are shaped by the interrest of the social and material class they are part of. And the evil people are always the one in power and have the money, so they act in the interest of their class and do things that help themselves.
Fucking Marx wrote about this quite a while ago, now his predictions just manifest more visibly, but the cultural and material forces have always been at play. Now we just reached a breaking point as a planet and population, so the underlying systems start to break too and the people on top do everything to stay in power, including ditching reality altogether.
