How I Beat Male Radicalization

I thought this was really well put. The power dynamic between boys and girls is very different than between men and women. Few people explain this or make allowances for it so boys often hear about the patriarchy and it does not line up with their life experience.

What young boys like me didn’t realize when we were being lectured about patriarchy and the problems of men, is that being a man is an extremely privileged position over women, we’re just not old enough to benefit from it yet. This presents a problem on how we teach oppression and discrimination to young people who have little autonomy of their own and feel bad when you imply your immutable characteristics harm people you seek validation from.

I've never understood gambling addiction other than as a gambling-version of substance abuse. Uncut Gems brought it into sharp, uncomfortable, focus.

Work/Life Balance

I enjoy my job and I am making a difference in technology. I go above and beyond when I want to almost exclusively. I'm well paid and rewarded for my efforts.

The company and I are square every 2 weeks. The people and connections are owed my loyalty.
