cyborganism,

That’s literally “The Works” burger chain in Ottawa.

cyborganism,

I’ve actually started playing all my games in Linux recently thanks to Steam and Proton and it’s been amazing so far with very little trouble. I can’t believe how easy and how well it plays.

cyborganism,

Just use ‘sudo’. Oh wait… Oh. I’m sorry.

cyborganism,

Ooooh those look very yummy

cyborganism,

I’ve had it and it’s not the same. I recommend you try the Raoh. It’s a true Japanese tonkotsu broth. Or as true as you can get in an instant ramen anyway.

cyborganism,

What’s your favorite instant ramen?

Mine has to be Nissin Raoh. It’s so god damn delicious. It’s the closest thing to a real Japanese ramen shop experience.

cyborganism,

Oh yeah. That sounds delish!

The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing?

like, it’s still dark at 5pm, there are barely any sports on, still bitterly cold and austere and it hurts to go outside, but you’re not even looking forward to christmas or the new year. the new year is here, and it’s largely the same as last year. except you’re getting older.

cyborganism,

I’ve been to Cuba, Martinique and Cancun.

I stayed at an all inclusive in Varadero, Cuba and I really liked it. The beaches are absolutely gorgeous there. The resorts are pretty nice with lots of activities. You can also do some sightseeing around Cuba with organized tours. There’s lots of good rum and great cigars. However, you don’t eat well in Cuba. They don’t have a lot of food and whatever good food they have, they serve at the resorts which says a lot about what they have. The people are poor and if you have any degree of sympathy, you’ll feel bad for them the whole time you’re there. And they remind you how poor they are all the time.

In Cancun, Mexico you have to pick the right place or you’ll get a beach full of rocks. I stayed in the hotel zone at Sandos and the beach was gorgeous. The food was great! Lots of activities and animation and shows. There’s less sightseeing though. And the food on site is pretty American in flavor. If you’re a bit more adventurous, you can take the public bus for super cheap to go into Cancun city in the evening and they have a park, the Parque de las palapas, where they have tons of street food. You’ll eat amazing Mexican Street food for amazingly cheap. Even if they charge you the gringo price. There’s also a shopping mall in the hotel zone which is huge if you want to do any shopping. Honestly this was my best experience in an all inclusive resort.

Martinique is a French territory. If you don’t speak French, you’ll have a difficult time there. Otherwise, Martinique is a god damn jewel. I’ve never seen beaches as gorgeous as what’s there. It’s a real life paradise. I spent time there doing a bit of a road trip across the island. We visited multiple beaches and stayed in hotels and Airbnbs with hosts. They have the best rum I’ve ever tasted and there are plenty of distilleries you can visit. There are a lot of boats you can take with a group to more remote locations to do some snorkeling, but many of the beaches in general are already great. The food there is fucking fantastic! The French being big on cuisine really had a big influence there. The Creole food and seafood is out of this world. Accompanied with great wine and rum to boot. This was one of my best trips honestly.

This year we’ll be going to Panama. I haven’t found a good resort yet that has a good beach. And they’re all far from any airport or city so not very accessible. I don’t really know what to expect there. I’m going with an open mind and we’ll see what happens.

cyborganism,

Going on a trip in February/March somewhere warm and sunny helps a fuck ton. It’s honestly worth the few grand to go to an all inclusive resort and have nothing to think about and have all your needs met while you take a dip in the sea.

That or cannabis. I’ve started taking CBD+THC oils before bed and it helps mellow me out and stabilize me.

cyborganism,

What a fucking farce. Unless the people take matters into their own hands and topple their governments, nothing will ever happen.

cyborganism,

Dude was eating out of a restaurant dumpster in a back alley somewhere next to the cooks that were enjoying their cigarette break.

cyborganism,

Men are all such fucking shitbags amirite?

/s

cyborganism,

I know my shortcomings. I know that, like the author, I lack assertiveness. Maybe that explains why I face the same problem she does. Except, I’m a man. Should I also blame men for what’s happening to me?

Men face a lot of pressure from society. Society has a lot of expectations for men in general. Maybe that’s what’s driving up the suicide rate among men. Add to that the total lack of any support network for men, and lack of support for male victims of abuse. But I suppose we should blame ourselves for this as well?

cyborganism,

No. I’m just tired of all the blame men are getting. It’s like being a man makes you inherently a bad, evil person and a persecutor of women.

Men have their flaws, sure. And yes there is toxic masculinity. But at some point, blaming men all the time for everything is like they’re using them as scapegoats for their own shortcomings. Fait exemple, is it because of men that this author isn’t assertive?

And I also disagree with her other one about the mental load over responsibilities in her household and how men are lazy. And how, according to her, it’s all women who have this problem and all men are like this. In my household, I’m the one who takes care of these things. I’m the one who plans groceries, thinks about repairs, thinks about laundry, cleaning, dishes, cooking, etc. Yet my girlfriend used her fucking comic to point out to me that I’m the lazy one in the house somehow because I have a dick and balls and spend longer periods in the bathroom than her.

She has a problem with assertiveness and she blames men for her own shortcomings.

And I’m so sick and tired of the anti-men bullshit that it’s really affecting my self esteem and my perception of myself. I can’t express how I feel about this either because someone will just repeat some fucking anti-men text they read off of some feminist meme and mock me by saying “nOt AlL mEn”. As if “yes all men are bad”. I’ve seen girl friends post shit on social media where they said all men should die and even mocked articles about suicide rates in men. They also laughed as they reposted articles about men committing suicide.

At some point, when are we going to recognize there is some toxic feminists who are just outright mysandrists and there is nothing men will ever do to make them happy?

Or maybe that’s the solution isn’t it? Maybe I should just fucking kill myself and do all women a big fucking favor.

cyborganism,

So? This happens to other men as well. This isn’t always men’s fault. It can be sexism in some cases, but in others it can be about keeping control over employees or not wanting to give promotions because the company wants to cut costs.

I’ve been fired for trying to be assertive once. I was sick of not getting better working conditions and better pay for the work I was doing compared to my peers and was laid off with some bullshit excuse. I was soon replaced with someone else who was paid less and didn’t complain. But I’m a dude. So…?

cyborganism,

Isn’t the whole workspace thing simply a software way to have multiple monitors into one which you can “look at” when you switch?

cyborganism,

Fucking hell

cyborganism,

I can’t believe this used to be an actual medical procedure. It’s horrifying.

cyborganism,

Anyone else here had their whole employee assistance program switched to Dialogue?

cyborganism,

I found the easiest to work with to be QT.

cyborganism,

I always clean everything a couple days before leaving, so when I get back home, I come back to a clean home with nothing to do.

cyborganism,

Can you elaborate? It’s it bad? It’s it a carcinogen? Does it affect the environment like forever chemicals do on non stick pans?

cyborganism,

That has nothing to do with people owning cars.

She’s just an idiot brainless bimbo.
