As you might have noticed, this site has not been on its best behavior lately; there have been slowdowns, 504 errors, outages. Well, with the help of am internet maven who was very generous with her time and expertise, we’re now back on track. And on a shiny new server. So hopefully things will be running a bit more smoothly from here on out, though there may be a few glitches as we settle in on the new server. There are a few formatting things i need to fix as well.
But dammit, we’re back.
And I’d like to celebrate by sharing with you three unique insights into the true nature of women and feminism that I found on everyone’s favorite hate site, the Men’s Rights subreddit. Take it away, boys.
That’s the whole post. It got upvotes.
I didn’t realize that “working at a gas station” was part of the feminist stereotype.
It gets weirder.
You knew that a beautiful woman would say “yes” to a threesome with a big-dicked man at a festival … when you were 6 years old?
I’m pretty sure most 6-year-olds don’t even know what a threesome is. Or what “liberated female sexuality” consists of.
What if they’re crying from laughing so hard at you?

It’s like a circle of little boys exchanging urban legends with the frequent assertion of “it’s really TRUE!”
“. . . accomplishing nothing in life, aside from working at a gas station.”
Big Oil: funding feminism since I don’t know when.
Why does this dude sound like one of the guys who always comments on news articles about female teachers getting arrested for raping a student and be like “oh man i wish one would have raped me when i was 14”
@Kat: neither does he.
That’s so oddly specific that there must be an actual woman working at his gas station who knows him for the loser creep he is.
I guess spending all day on Reddit is superior to spending all day on Twitter?
@Vicky P: To which an adult should say “Cool story bro”.
I wonder — if it ever happened outside that skeevy creep’s fervid imagination — if the man and the two ladies were doing a little fun roleplaying. “Ooh, let’s pretend we’re total strangers and set up a threesome in public!”
Or they could all just be platonic friends and decided to do that to see who’d notice and have a laugh about it later. Maybe it was a dare to win some cash, or they lost a bet and had to do this.
If he really knew about men with large dicks who get beautiful women into threesomes when he was 6, whoever raised him should have gotten a visit from the local child protection squad. That ain’t right.

And, of course, they’re not. The “technical help please” thread (ironically) can’t be commented on anymore. Sometimes the comments generate entries in the “recent comments” sections on other pages, but none of them show up on the “technical help please” page itself. There’s got to be 5 or 6 comments on that thread newer than mine from earlier, but go to that page and that earlier one of mine shows as the last one. Nothing below it but the input form. The useless, broken input form.
Looking at that page’s recent comments list, the most recent one shown is Kat’s on this thread, timestamped two full hours ago. So that page has not updated correctly for two whole hours now, either to reflect new comments on itself or to reflect new comments elsewhere. Two hours … and counting.
Meet the new server, same as the old server. *sigh*
I’m confused. She agreed to a threesome because he had a large penis? I guess I’m too tired to really make fun of this nonsense right now.
Comments shouldn’t be timing out; we’re working on it. anyone else have this problem or any problems involving timeouts?
They’re a little slow for me, but no timeouts.
I do also get the occasional update differential where a comment will look MIA, but the link in the recent posts seems to still always get me to the most recent comment (even if the page refresh from posting the comment doesn’t).
@Kupo, if you’re lurking, thanks for reminding me about that trick!
Good luck, David!
@Alan Robertshaw I burst out laughing. Trying to chat up a petrol pump. This guy probably really has chatted up gas pumps. Who else would stay still to listen to him. My, you have a way with words.
The missing comments on that other thread showed up (after something like an eventual three hour delay), but it continues to act glitchy. I tried to comment on it just now, and the comment seemed to go through — after I hit send, the comment was there in front of me with the edit timer and everything — but when I did the “back + reload” thing, poof, gone!
At this point I may need to just give up on this site, at least temporarily. Come back in a week, or a month, or something and see if it’s working correctly again. Right now it’s just not bloody reliable, especially the commenting part.
@surplus
actual question. what do you do all day? did you time it for 3 hours to know when the comments show up? Like really? bro you need a hobby. this isn’t that deep.
And when you do this shit, you sound like the woman who threw her coffee at me because it was the wrong one, when I worked at a sandwich shop.
My experience so far has been about the same as Contrapangloss (which, funny side note, your nym made my Autocorrupt adamantly insist that I meant to say contrarian. Which it reverted to twice, despite my telling it that I meant exactly what I typed. Becoming a contrarian itself in the process.)
Hmm, “fat whores” on twitter? Better than anorexic ones?
I could kinda see a random hookup happening at a festival, but I bet a lot more was said than that. The little perv just fixated on the penis part because he is envious.
Hooray for the return of WHTM!

@David
Not timeouts, but I post a comment and it wanders off for a bit before showing up half an hour later. Thought it was just I had to be re-approved with the first one, since it was first comment since you did the new overhaul, but it just happened again.
Wait, I thought feminists only worked in soft air conditioned offices, and left all the dirty/dangerous/undesirable jobs to men. Or does gas station attendant only become cushy and useless when a woman does it?
And how is Twitter any different from posting on Reddit? Maybe managing the gas station’s social media accounts is part of her job duties.
As for the imaginary festival dude, I’m picturing this happening at a Renaissance fair, with a codpiece involved, since I can’t work out how otherwise she would have seen his large dick before agreeing to the threesome.
Then I’m picturing it not happening at all, because this is not how interactions with total strangers work.
I’ve found that if I try to reload the page after commenting that the comment doesn’t show up. But if I navigate to the comments again then it’s fine. So I just go back to the main page for the blog and click on the comments section I’m interested in. That way of getting to the comments is updated right away.
Honestly though, it’s not that big of a deal. I’m here mostly for David’s posts, so a bit of a delay on the comments seems low priority to me.
Speaking of being back, Mr. Parasol and I have made it through the 2022 Texas winter disaster. We were very lucky this time – we never lost power or internet, and the house didn’t get smacked by a tree branch. But about 70K of our fellow Texans weren’t so lucky.
Plus, going into this week we didn’t know we were going to be okay. I hated that. There were way too many memories from last year getting in my way.

Gas station and convenience store employees are at high risk of experiencing violence on the job. Meanwhile, KristerZX is still in high school and presumably doesn’t have much of an idea of what having a job is like.
Administering WordPress on a vps is a shitty and intermittently stressful job (when a new vulnerability is found). Have you ruled out finding affordable managed WordPress hosting?
@ moggie
Totally o/t; but saw this and thought of you.
It’s totally fake news of course. Everyone knows the best 1948 vehicle is the Land Rover.
@Alan, I don’t think I’d have the nerve to wear that, except maybe to Beaulieu autojumble!
Maybe it’s because I’m retired now, but I dislike seeing people reduced to their jobs. If you ever feel like looking down on someone for working at a gas station, because apparently providing you with an essential service isn’t enough to earn your respect, just remind yourself that they may achieve admirable things when they’re not at their job.
@Moggie I agree that reducing people to their jobs is ignoring the fact that most people use their jobs as a means to support their true passions. I also think that not everyone needs to accomplish something “big”. Maybe someone’s big goal in life is to enjoy their day to day existence. And that’s great and not worth less than someone who wants to make huge contributions to humanity.
But also, can we acknowledge all the female identifying folks who have shattered glass ceilings and are proving these assholes wrong?
