As a current incel I don't hate women for not being attracted to me either. So many of us are harmless, cuddly, and completely frustrated by the isolation and insurmountable failures. Much of the bants found on places like /r/incels is a combination of letting off high pressure steam and chemo to ensure the incel safe-space is free of women and "normies."
Anyone (especially women readers) want to get a taste of the incel experience? Hit Google Image Search and look for galleries of three types of men: typically unattractive and/or fat geeky/nerdy men, typical average Joe with a minimal beer gut at worst, and a 9-10/10 chiseled jaw cut body gym rat. Make profiles for each (with some effort), share the same text across all three. Do this on all popular dating sites and apps. Count how many messages/swipes it takes to a phone number. With nerd you'll likely spend months getting zero. With Joe you'll spend weeks to get one or two. With chiseled Chad they'll pour in within hours. With Joe and Nerd you can dump great effort into your content and get almost no increase in stats. With chiseled Chad you can say you were a recently released child rapist, a white nationalist who thinks it's time to gas all jews, simply open with "wanna fukc?" as your first message, and still do very very well. Chiseled Chad can do no wrong.
Frankly, the "men are so shallow" meme needs to die. Dating sites need to go against better money and statistically boost the low match/message users over the sexy users. It won't happen though, and short of making only men eligible for welfare or instituting a single woman tax (economically rendering women dependent on relationships with men), women will continue to be highly selective and prefer singlehood over relationships with "less attractive" men.
Prostitution would be a boon to us IMO, and would be a far more palatable solution than economic pressure. If only men could have an outlet to not be so "thirsty"...

Everybody look here at why this is just Mozilla PR-speak. A truly secure solution would not rely on remotely delivered JavaScript for password hashing and authentication!
This is why I use chrome on my wintoy, and w3m on my darknet surfer. It started going downhill before Pocket, but Pocket was the major signal flare the Titanic was surely sinking.
I think the better solution is a steep tax on the end product for any product containing at least one microprocessor which executes instructions from a mutable (even if "burned in") memory source, which totally and completely doesn't allow the owner to modify this memory with code of the owner's choice or authorship, with either physical or cryptographic mechanisms. All such devices should be treated as "rented" and not owned, and should have unlimited warranty which must be honored in perpetuity so long as a company exists (including future buyers of the company's assets).
It is a national security risk to allow commercial device makers to lock down the software on these devices and then abandon them in a few years. If in twenty years today's SmartTV has a network vulnerability discovered, the manufacturer (or whoever buys or merges with it) should be liable for updating the SmartTVs, unless it has made the device such that the owner can write and change the code at will.
This law should apply to cars, microwaves, smartphones, computers, washing machines, tractors, game consoles, etc. A twenty percent or more sales tax and perpetual warranty for "closed" platforms. Make it no longer economical to do business the way it currently is done!
You're getting heavily downvoted. Obvious FreeBSD shill army is obvious!
I really appreciate Theo's approach to operating system security, and the ecosystem as a whole is very much indebted to the OpenBSD project for its advancements.
I agree. Laptops should be no thinner than 1.5". I would love a nerd machine that is 2" thick, has no less than ten various ports, has a fat battery that could last more than 24 hours at 'performance' energy settings, most things on replace-able/upgrade-able daughter boards (especially graphics), replace-able CPU on a socket, and four SSD + two optical drives. The replace-able parts following standards like desktop PCs do.
Laptops were the first to succumb to the thin/miniaturization cancer, and phones really took off with it. The best form factor smartphone IMO is still my first cellphone I had: Samsung SCH-i730. It had a screen which slid up revealing a physical keyboard, it had a camera, it had a large extended battery, it even had an extend-able antenna! It was not shy about being thick! I grew up loving tech, and now with faceb0rg + scr00gle spying, crapple + android thin-sh1t hardware, "smart tvs," more and more user-lockout in hardware (intel ME?), I'm finding myself hating it all more and more!
I've often thought there needs to be a 'church' for Atheists, basically a carbon copy of the modern churches but with jesus and bible stripped out completely. The social grouping is therapeudic and I think the religion meme hitches to this for continuation and longevity.
The other possibility is to make dues-free fraternal organizations. Churches are payment-optional so why not payment-optional frats? Say dues payment halves bar prices (and no-dues prices are somewhat uncomfortably high).
I live in southern Cali and so I am not in a racially homogeneous environment. I have a very strong preference for women who look like me (white, northern euro). I mean very strong, as in latinas, asians, and black women are as attractive as dudes are (I'm 0% gay, so completely uninteresting). I have no interest in sexual intercourse with those groups for fear of a mixed pregnancy. It bewilders me why people sometimes ignore it, though usually it's those who tend to signal 'inclusiveness' virtues who do.
Oh please. Guns are no more the root of gun violence than BitTorrent is the root of digital piracy. Gun control is the cheap easy path to kudos and biscuits, where improving the mental health system is the long tiring hardwork nobody wants to do. Muslim examples in Europe have shown vehicles and knives to be just as effective.
Last but not least, if you vote away my hobby/toy, don't whine like a little piggy when I rally others to vote away your hobby/toy. Government is force which should be used sparingly and responsibly.
Hopefully Tor isn't a problem. In the Age Of Snowden, I use it almost exclusively. Also might I suggest a .onion gateway (and maybe a .i2p gateway too)?
