Guys! Stop ‘bating because it will make your hands soft and ladylike, Return of Kings warns

@ kat

You ever seen Father Ted?

(as Tom comes out of the Post Office with money, to the sound of a robbery alarm and a gunshot)

Father Ted: You haven’t been up to your old tricks again, have you?

Tom: No, Father. ‘Tis my money. I just didn’t want to fill out the forms.

@Alan can confirm. Go ahead. Rob ’em all.

@Axe me too. Should be fun.

@Paradoxical Intention

Why the holy chafing FUCK does toxic masculinity do this to people? You have skin. That shit isn’t exclusive to feeemales.

Rough, cracking skin isn’t a fucking turn on, it’s a sign you can’t take care of yourself out of fear of Teh Gurl Cooties™. That’s not attractive, that’s just fucking sad.

They know. They’re just looking for a way to keep the readers glued to their website. They write questionable stuff so the gullible newcomers can go off in the comment section.

@EJ

Valizadeh knows that he’s haemorrhaging audience. He also knows that much of his audience don’t like him for racist reasons. His solution appears to be to find a dumber audience, one which will believe whatever he tells them uncritically and give him all their money.

That’s why he has so many new writers lately. He’s trying out different topics and perspectives to see which one brings him the most views, comments and money.
If it wasn’t for these new writers his website would be finished, he has nothing to offer anymore, that’s why he keeps pulling out old posts from the archives instead of writing new ones.

I’m not a history nerd. But I read Greek drama, several of the philosophers, including political philosophers, lots of Plato. They had such good ideas. They had plenty bad ones too, deeply misogynist in their classical way. I don’t know how long the fall took, i only know it was a long way down from their ideals and innovations, from the energy and potential of their best ideas. They warned that the vulnerability of democracy was a demagogue and an angry crowd. Ta da. I was vaguely aware the alt-right claims them, but it’s kind of like what is said about porn: whatever thing you can think of, there’s a perverse alt-right appropriation of the thing.

@Kat

Do your words make the reader think of cunnilingus? Then it is a reference

Now now, be reasonable. They can have 3 references to cunnilingus and 9 (3^2) references to references to cunnilingus. It’s only fair…

@Francesca

I imagine that these fuckwits watched 300, which portrays the Lacedaemonians as being super-buff, masculine, white-skinned, blue-eyed Aryan Supermen, who spend a great deal of time killing brown people in slow motion, and believe that’s the definitive story behind Hellas.

They also like to jerk themselves raw over how the Hellenic people personally invented civilization, all by their onesies. They invented democracy, writing things down, math, science, and medicine. It was them. Therefore, White People Are Superior.

That’s their ideology in a nutshell.

Funny ’cause that’s exactly what they think. I was reading an article on the SPLC website and someone praised the Spartans’ high testosterone and masculinity for defending the west from muslims and brown people. Which of course is highly inaccurate historically if not complete wrong (it’s actually a butchering of history).

They love to kiss their own ass. Also I think you mean white men are superior, women are useless. /s

Dave Sim, the cartoonist, has argued that prolonged abstinence from masturbation can reduce the desire for sexual activity. As corroboration, he explains that his interest in masturbation had significantly decreased by his forties, in noticeable contrast with what his twenties were like.

Thus demonstrating that his understanding of male sexuality is on par with his understanding of almost everything else.

As a Catholic in recovery, I can affirm that an authority figure who can persuade you that masturbation is a bad thing can persuade you of almost anything.

What these guys think women like is always amusing. Yeah, I want a man’s crusty alligator hands and dirty nails caressing my body at night. Gross.

Francesca’s previous mention of onesies reminded me of this possible new fashion statement for a man going their own way. Of course I doubt any MGTOW would ever be caught wearing such not-totally-masculine clothing.

I might if given money (not my style), but would prefer it had a locking zipper for wear by MGTOWs.

@troubelle

Sorry maybe i make it sound worse than it is! It just coming off in little bits. Sometimes it is okay, sometimes it comes back and my skin just falling off in little bits. Like dry bits. But it not painful. Just little bit itching. It is my fault, i do not care for it properly and apply cream and often when i work i forget to use gloves.

@Valya. Sounds like what we call eczema in English, it can result from burns or other damage. Horrible, painful, embarrassing. I had it for years, used to call it my leprosy. What put an end to it – a real end; it is over – was tepescohuite cream, an herb from Mexico. It’s available online as Mayan Magic, probably other sources. It has been good for some other skin issues I have, too. Might be of help.

Well, the downfall of Ancient Greece is a complicated question, because if depends on what you mean by Greece. The Macedonians, who conquered all of Greece (except Sparta) in 338 BC considered themselves Greek (and they definitely had Greek culture) but the Greeks of the time didn’t.
I suppose I’d call it the fall of the Achaean League, the last powerful Greek state in Greece itself, in 146 BC. I’d say Greece doesn’t so much decline; rather, Roman power grows and Rome eventually overshadows Greece

@Aluma
Odd that alt-right people would identify with Sparta, a civilization where women of the citizen class were practically the only people whose lives weren’t miserable.

@dreemr: I think it’s papayas that have the meat-tenderizing enzyme. (Yep: it’s papain.)

I don’t know if it’d take your fingerprints off, but working with pineapples could easily do a number on your skin, what with the rough outer coating and the somewhat acidic juice and pulp (pH 3.5, if Google is correct).

Thank you!

Funny how that turned out. We’re seeing the application of their warning in real-time; indeed, one could very well argue that they had been proven right before many a time.

Yes, they have reduced the Persian-Hellenic wars to a big fairy tale about the tough Spartans singlehandedly killing the big bad icky brown people. It’s very odd, since there is almost nothing to support their fairy tale in actual history.

Do they get backaches, do you think?

You know, from kissing their own asses all the time.

It’s brilliant. Why not market it as an Actual Superior Western Civilization Ancient Roman tunic? That will get all the alt-right cosplayers who like wearing medieval armor and Corinthian helmets to wear it!

While we’re talking about the ugly things the Greeks did: anyone read the Melian dialogues, in which the Athenians basically say they’ll kill everyone on Melos unless the Melians agree to capitulate entirely to Athenian power.
