i have not been back since the blackout started.

inceldom is largely an economic issue

that's such a reach. women are lagrely more economically disadvantaged, specially when you consider that men are paid more, are not straved off of promotions due to their gender, are not discriminated because they are women. rich/well-off incels exist, they are and will remain incels despite their financial status or attractiveness. they are incels because of their misogynistic beliefs (among other horrible traits).

the internet and tate has amplified the voices of this community since they are able to congregate anonymously and with no repercussions.

first comment, but im enjoying my time on the fediverse. ill keep on interacting here, hoping to eventually find my communities here.

thank you for all your efforts.

jazz hands!

this update has been amazing. thank you for your work

also -- i just posted this on a whim to get some discussion going in this community. seems to be the largest one out there, so hopefully we get more interaction here! let me know if you'd like to see this weekly or if we could get a bot to do it on a weekly basis. not a mod here or anything i just wanted to see what everyone else is reading

glad to see you folks here. welcome!

Project Hail Mary read by Ray Porter is amazing!

i just got back to reading. i reached and exceeded my goal of 12 books last year, so now im aiming for 30 books. currently 10 in. should i reach 30 early, ill just move the goalpost little by little and try to reach 52 as well.

love that book! im on book 3 now

the piracy subs are already here. ![email protected]

dont talk if you dont know buddy

fist my bump!

badly need one for valorant/competitive valorant

Mlem!

im about to hop into my first discworld book soonish!

sounds great! im at The Dragon Reborn at the moment, halfway there. unfortunately my attention span cant read that much in such a short amount of time so ive been stalling forever

if you're at least not opposed to the idea, an e-ink reader worked wonders for me. picked up a kindle on a whim despite not having read a book in so long. managed to get back into the habit due to that. my favorite device now, hands down.

also when i get stuck on a long book, i just take a break from it and switch to a shorter book.

i cant believe the first lemmy-influenced purchase i want is a waterpik. way to go lemmy!
