[19:44:35] <requerdanos> I credit successful solicitation of subscriptions via meta stories.
[19:43:06] <Bytram> just updated Beg-o-Meter; now at $2046.11 of $3500 (58.5 %); Max SPID: 1498; last transaction was at: 2020-12-26 10:34:19 UTC

[14:48:21] <Bytram> If you know you got 0 paragraphs, maybe try another scraper and include a note in the submission as to that having happened... I'd suggest storybot as the fallback.

[13:19:10] <Bytram> requerdanos++ insightful
[13:18:54] <Bytram> Why *force* a man to fish when, after being instructed in the challenges and joys of a catch, the man will *want* to fish and no further effort on my part is required. He'll do all the fishing I could ask for, and more!
[13:17:21] <requerdanos> Also, "Someone convinced against his will is of the same opinion still."
[13:16:44] <Bytram> "Just because you have silenced an opponent, does not mean you have won him over."
[13:15:39] <Bytram> When in a motivated search for something one really wants, it is tempting to make maximum use of all tools at one's command that can be used to one's advantage. Be that physically, mentally, or emotionally. As males generally *tend* to be stronger physically than women, and can make up for intellectual shortcomings in a pinch (knock the other guy senseless), there's a temptation to devolved to "might makes right".

[06:45:53] <aristarchus_> Speaking of which, I have a new Journal, about nothing. Expect many insightful comments!
[06:43:55] <chromas> well that'll teach me
[06:43:07] <aristarchus_> Just missed it!
[06:41:46] <chromas> what moment?
[06:41:20] <aristarchus_> Seems like, a teachable moment?
[06:39:10] <chromas> We're all bad
[06:38:34] <aristarchus_> Why do we only ever hear about the bad chromases, I want to know?
[06:04:08] <AzumaHazuki> small potatoes by comparison. it should be addressed, though; a woman is not always automatically the better parent
[06:03:38] <chromas> well also the men getting screwed over in divorces, domestic abuse situations and whatnot
[06:02:57] <AzumaHazuki> it's all a giant racket. a few wealthy sociopaths tell all the poor men they're fucking over "at least you're not {queer/female/black/$OTHER} and presto, they have an army of resentful mediocrities
[06:02:22] <chromas> I didn't say you hear about them all
[06:01:57] <AzumaHazuki> there's plenty of bad ones you never hear about. the very systems of politics, economy, and work set up by men are violent meatgrinders, mostly to other men
[06:01:29] <AzumaHazuki> that's...that's not even wrong o_O
[06:00:54] <chromas> well much like feminists, you only hear about the bad ones
[06:00:18] <AzumaHazuki> all those mens' rights activists ought to be cleaning up their own house and their fellow males' behavior before complaining about women
[05:59:58] <AzumaHazuki> we've gone way off on a tangent here. the vast majority of violence is done by men, and a hell of a lot of it to other men
[05:59:08] <chromas> seems legit
[05:58:49] <AzumaHazuki> no, though the bi woman said her ex Izzy left her very suddenly for no good reason
[05:58:29] <chromas> Did any of your girlfriends have abusive girlfriends?
[05:57:43] <AzumaHazuki> also? sample size of one here, but the only abusive girlfriend I ever had was bisexual, not lesbian. the other gay women i've been with were nothing but wonderful
[05:57:23] <chromas> Also why cop suicides are so low. "Accident while cleaning his gun"
[05:57:00] <AzumaHazuki> "you tell anyone, we're BOTH outed, and our lives are over"
[05:56:50] <AzumaHazuki> that likely happens a hell of a lot. i'd guess there's a lot of murder-suicide threats too
[05:56:21] * chromas imagines a gay couple threatening each other with a knuckle sammich if the other one tattles
[05:55:51] <AzumaHazuki> but a lot less reporting
[05:55:47] <AzumaHazuki> i will bet you good money there is higher-severity and more widespread violence in couples with at least one man
[05:55:22] <chromas> yes, well you can hardly have stats on unreported anything
[05:55:20] <AzumaHazuki> i know that statistic, and it's true but not the entire story
[05:55:09] <AzumaHazuki> the highest proportion of *reported* incidents, of unclassified severity :) nice try
[05:54:53] <chromas> That's why lesbian relationships have the highest proportion of domestic abuse—no men to hold them back
[05:54:49] <AzumaHazuki> we just don't have the same violent tendencies, we have a much lower incidence of psychopathy...honestly, i think men are too emotional and volatile to hold office
[05:54:21] <AzumaHazuki> you wish
[05:52:33] <chromas> that's 'cause the patriarchy's holding them back
[05:51:40] <AzumaHazuki> and why 77%, chromas? haven't you noticed men are a hell of a lot more violent and murderous?
[05:50:52] <AzumaHazuki> requerdanos: congratulations. i think you'll do well in this
[05:49:45] <chromas> only one woman on death row eh. shouldn't it be 77%?
