  • Switched to Tidal. It’s cheaper and better quality. Also no AI music bullshit. They even have a tool to transfer your playlists and so on. Although it’s not perfect and I had to remove some tracks it identified incorrectly, because the real track isn’t on there. But the vast majority of music is on Tidal as well. There are just a few albums that a handful of artists haven’t put in tidal. Not sure why they didn’t, because they have other albums there, but I can live with that.




  • Man, I get it. You see how man are treated with less empathy, their pain diminished, their emotions denied and then faulted for being angry all the time, the only emotion that seems to be acceptable as a man. But you’re going to hard in the other direction. It’s not just black and white. Just because a man is talking about his pain doesn’t mean he can’t be a dick about it. And that is what this comic demonstrates. If you’re honest to yourself I’m sure you can see that too. If not, you know, sorry to hear. Not much I can do to change your mind.



  • He says that he feels like this all the time, while she only feels like that five days a month. Sure, he is not saying that her pain is lesser, but he is saying that he is suffering more. And that is what (most) people here mock. That this comic suggests that men suffer more than women. That responding to someone explaining their pain with “actually, I suffer like that all the time” is childish behavior. This isn’t about men sharing their pain, it’s about the one-upping what she is saying.














  • Is it still though? Also, weren’t early super heroes mostly adult like Superman and Batman? I feel like back in the day when the audience were mostly children they used adult superheroes the kids could aspire to, then they started aging them down with Spider-Man to make them more relatable. Nowerdays the audience is mostly adult, maybe yearning for simpler times, certainly with a lot of nostalgia for what they used to see.

    But to be honest I don’t think the premise is actually true. There are certainly some eternally young superheroes, but there are still and always have been lots of older superheroes.
