It makes absolutely no sense.

You think the referee’s job is to have the game be fair and follow the rules. This is wrong. The referee’s job is to make the game entertaining and as dramatic as possible for the fans.

Once you accept that, a lot of these situations make a lot more sense.

The best thing you can do is

And we should only ever do what’s best, even if there is a way to help that’s slightly less than the best.

Same for billboards near the road. Those never work.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a cause is let other people know it exists.

But the manosphere doesn’t need to be a symptom of those problems. That’s a choice.

Another choice could be that men band together to identify the real problems and address those.

For example. In the manosphere, women are considered gold diggers. Well, because of the patriarchy, men are told that it is their job to provide, and that their value is tied to how well they provide. So you have men who think it’s their job to provide money, and then are complaining when women see them as a source of money. This is stupid. Men could stop trying to be providers, and instead try being people who are interesting to talk to and nice to be around. That would solve both the golddigger problem and the loneliness problem. It would also start to address some of the capitalist problems, where people are willing to self-exploit, just to get a little more money than their neighbor.

To be racist, it needs to be about race.

I can say everyone in Texas fucks cattle (they do), but that’s just bigotry based on where they live, not racism.

Are you saying that people from Afghanistan are a different race than their neighbors?

Or are you thinking maybe of culture, not race? Race isn’t a think you can’t change or choose. Culture is.

The manosphere is easy to understand. People hate doing work and taking accountability. So just blame the problems on someone else, and watch my podcast and buy my shit.

They CAN regulate the company, if the people want it.

They clearly didn’t

Natively, you can’t. Hackishly, you could put a small VPN capable router in front of it that would manage the connection.

That’s according to Dr Internet, so I haven’t tried it, but it seems very likely to be accurate.

You’ve basically just reinvented off shoring.

CEO don’t just run company. Their job is also to determine strategy and work relationships to improve sales/donations. They should be hired wherever they can do that best.

Why would there be an answer?

If #3 is your use case, then yeah, pony up the fees. Or learn to code I guess.

No, I don’t think you can get a competent CEO for less than 200k in the tech sector.

I’m sure a roofer would gladly be willing to take over my job as well.

Do you think there are no requirements to being a CEO? Do you think you could do it? I’m wondering how deep this justice fantasy goes. Do you think we’d get a competent CEO at minimum wage?

I hate that people treat the US like a country. It’s bad for statistics.

The cost of living in New Jersey is 50% higher than Alabama, for example, using the site you linked. Averages across the US are near meaningless.

Since I’m talking about tech jobs, we should compare to states with lots of tech jobs, and we might get a better comparison.

You can’t just look at the exchange rate. You have to look at cost and standard of living.

Someone in the US making 100k is not doing as well as someone in France making 70k€

You can’t at all compare unless you reference cost and standard of living. I’ve managed and hired people in multiple countries. It’s not as simple as salary X exchange rate.

Still not getting it I think.

Why would someone choose a more stressful job for the same pay?

This does not imply a lack of more stressful jobs that pay less. Obviously every idiot would take an easier job that pays more if they could.

Oh, and don’t forget about this one!

I didn’t forget. I chose to ignore it because it makes you look tacky and I’m being polite. But if you insist on pressing the point, there you go.

“A social construct is an idea, category, or framework that gains meaning through collective agreement within a society”

The racial lines of division are arbitrary and different in each society. Therefore, a social construct.

Remember, it wasn’t THAT long ago that Italians weren’t considered white. Now they are.

You’re missing the point. There are easier jobs in the same industry for the same pay.

We’re not comparing tech CEO to roofers. We’re comparing them to other people in tech.
