Men aren't more lonely than women but the loneliness epidemic is real. Millions are in isolation, it's capitalist individualism, & disability is isolating. Lots of folks are really alone. But it's not gendered, that framing is patriarchy, babying men like their unhappiness is everyone else's burden.
According to Pew Research and a few other stats, the loneliness epidemic isn’t disproportionately affecting men over other genders.
I have a feeling that men have been the squeaky wheel over the last few years.
If anything, we have a loneliness epidemic because more people are (barely) surviving.

Q: Why did you decide that only good children deserve gifts?
A: I wouldn’t say that I made the decision. I’d say that I’m following the traditions set forth by Christianity and other religions.
Q: And so-called bad children deserve nothing.

Yeah. Sometimes, behind all the bellowing and bluster and fluency in social justice verbiage, you might observe a person’s behavior and realize their vision of justice is just “When is it my turn at the top? When is it my turn to do the violence?”

LISTEN UP BUCKAROOS. honestly as vegetarian it is my number one rare and appreciated holiday situation to show up and discover that the stuffing was specifically made in a way that vegetarian and vegan buckaroos can eat it too, and this is so easy to do
Thoroughly endorse Chuck's recommendation to make your stuffing meatless if you're having any vegans or vegetarians at your holiday meals. You shouldn't be cooking it inside the bird anyway, and it tastes just as good made with veggie stock.

this is the pluribus discourse i need more of on the timeline please
pluribus theory that will never come true (pluribus spoilers here) but it would be interesting if the virus was a way for an alien civilization to clear sufficiently developed planets of all sentient life while preserving pre-built infrastructure and the environment, hence the extreme pacifism

I think some people make themselves miserable trying to sell their work to people who are not into that kind of work. If you run a burger joint, you're going to have a hard time getting people in who just want to eat sushi, no matter how amazing your burgers are.

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

Of course there’s a fucking point to getting angry at organisations dropping trans people out of fear. It should be shameful and they should be confronted with our feelings of anger and betrayal. To pretend we do this instead of targeting the court government sex matters etc is disingenuous bullshit
