‘I don’t date at all now’: one woman’s journey into the darkest corners of the manosphere

As a middle-aged man, I agree that there are some completely shitty men (loosely) out there. A real man should be compassionate, caring, protective when wanted, supportive when needed, and should never do the absolute scum things this poor woman experienced. This is on fathers (mostly) and mothers to teach their sons what it means to be respectful to everyone around them, not just women but men as well. Fathers need to model the behavior so their sons don’t grow up to be terrible humans. It is on parents to address online safety. It’s uncomfortable to do this but really, really needed. As far as the man sex culture, I’m not sure that is a fair statement. That would be like saying a woman sex culture. From what I’ve seen in my life, you will always be proven wrong if you stereotype anything about any perceived group of people.

Gen Z is very underwhelmed by congressional Democrats

Reply in thread

Yeah exactly. As a GenX’r I’m so fricking tired of the current Democratic bs. We need to stop considering doing something and finally do it. Trump got in because the lead democrats were too afraid of change. I for one welcome fresh and young minds so my kids don’t have to grow up in an apocalyptic oil drenched wasteland.

Are color palettes subject to copyright protection?

Reply in thread

Designer here - this above comment is 100% correct. The nuance is important that if a particular color palette is used in an original and distinguishable artwork that can be subject to copyright, although it’s a gray area. Colors can be trademarked however and that’s done all the time; for example McDs Red and yellow, UPS brown, The yellow of 3Ms stickies, DHLs red and yellow are examples. Those colors are only contestable if you use them on a similar product. You can color your dog house UPS brown without issue, but you wouldn’t get away with (for long) creating a delivery company with vans that color brown.
