I'm curious about the 60% control over the US wealth. Does that include 50% of their husbands assets for womym married (esp. to high asset/net worth men)? I mean I belive most of these points are accurate, but not sure if women control more money than men unless you include potential divorce settlements (which is legit to include).

We agree. My statement that the "glass was 78% full" was a ding at that common propaganda phrase. "Pay gap" is crap, because like you said, businesses would hire women over men in every case if women did the same work for about 3/4 the price.


I'm an engineer work in this once utopia, now craphole, of Silicon Valley and once was talking to a former friend about "the wage gap". He's an engineer too and he TRULY believed in the wage gap, so I asked him the same exact question about why there aren't all female corporations here, because we DAMNED well know somebody would do it.

He called me a sexist for pointing this out, I knew I had lost him, and a few months later, I just terminated the friendship. He's gay, which is no problem, but his boyfriend is the most superficial liberal asshole I've ever met. I figured it's pointless to try to save him.

His boyfriend was incensed that I dared to ask "just exactly what was so great about Obama?" - and the only thing he cares about is gay marriage - even though he's not married, he doesn't mind a bit that Obama caused the refugee crisis in Europe, brought back slavery to Libya, or almost destroyed Syria. I'd known the asshole for 10 years and put up with almost all his gross ignorance and blatant selfishness. It was at that point, I decided I didn't need to deal with this shit.

I'll tell you, not hanging around crazy liberals anymore, just giving up on them, I'm less angry in a conversation, I'm more open to being wrong, I'm less insulting, I sleep better, I work better - best decision I ever made to stop dealing with them. I don't put up with crazy conservatives either, who tell me that although I'm an atheist now, I'll come to my senses some day, and stop worshiping Satan..

This craphole was cool when the internet was still for rebels, free speech and music sharing and we used to run mp3 servers on the back of lab machines while doing our job of innovating. I expect this to last a few more years then SV will falter, likely slowly though. Because one thing you cannot underestimate is the innovation factor BECAUSE the area is so fucked up and dysfunctional. Uber and AirBnB would have never been born if it weren't for the cab/taxi mafia, shitty (literally) public transportation and the hotel mafia charging $500 for a shithole room per night.

We'll get back to it. Don't forget what the internet really is - it's a series of tubes invented by Al Gore :)

HTTP is just one service. What we were doing in the back of the lab on a pretty hefty computer back in the 1990's - we can do sitting on the kitchen table, on a raspberry PI 3, consuming all of 10 watts. The whole of Google would back in 2000 would probably fit on my desktop next to me. The next stage is decentralization. We don't need any fucking Facebook or Twitter or Youtube.

The whole of the internet was designed specifically to be decentralized. That's the next step but I think that's the final step. Dumbfucks trying to control this, censor it, dictate terms just don't know who the fuck they are dealing with. They don't even understand the technology, it's limitations, or the potential.

No, Google and Facebook will destroy themselves.

All blockchain is, is a really really inefficient way of making a database - it is pretty confounding how so many people consider it "the future".

Anyhow - I have a computer that can handle the emails and messages of a company of 1000 people, no problem. It cost $35 - $75 with the case, 128GB SD Card, and power supply.

People seriously have no idea what kind of enormous power they have today. No idea.

Yet you admit you let your hometown (Silicon Valley) turn into a shit-hole. Where was your enormous power to prevent the destruction of that once beautiful area?

You poo-poo all the culture stuff and then wonder why your town is filled with a bunch of indoctrinated SJW Liberal morons who can't keep human shit off the streets or the potholes filled, but keep voting in Democrat super-majorities.

You seem to worry more about Washington DC and the Middle East than you do about where you live.

SV isn't my hometown, but it's where I've been living for a while. This place became a craphole when the intelligence agencies got into all the big companies in the early 2000's. Facebook is nothing more than intelligence gathering on the population for example. They exist to enforce censorship, and to prevent free communication. Try to talk to a Syrian on it today, or a Chinese national.

I'm afraid the general public is going to have to suffer a bit to appreciate what they actually do have. "Oh, but Facebook is FREE - Why pay $100 for a machine when I can use Facebook? You say there's censorship on it? What a crackpot! Who would want to censor little old me?" - that's what we are up against. That is how lightly people "think".

Silicon Valley came into existence because we had to all get together to make the Internet available to the public by developing the infrastructure needed so you could use it, so you could talk to everybody on the planet. Dialup wouldn't do. We are 20 years past our due date. Why would FACEBOOK of all companies have to be here? At the same time, the US Federal government has gone criminal, so nobody will buy our crap anymore if they have any sense. If Russia buys our equipment, they are stupid - I don't know for a fact that everything is back-doored but if I were in the FSB I'd assume it was. Better to develop RISC-V and work with the Chinese...

I guess that's a good point - of course I don't live in San Francisco, i live in Sunnyvale - also, I have no attachment to this place. I have an attachment to my nation though. I don't want the US to have the same reputation in 30 years, as Germany did in 1970.

California is just a state - it can fail. The United States however: If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.

So Facebook, Google, Youtube, and Twitter censor - so what? Gab, Yandex, Btichute, and who gives a shit about Twitter, do not. Those are not in Silicon Valley. It's self correcting as long as the COUNTRY continues to function. Fuck, we can sink into the ocean and you'd be mildly annoyed for about 2 weeks as you moved to other services.

But here's the joke, you don't need any centralization anymore you just need the network. You don't need servers, just a swarm of computers but people won't spend $1 much less $100 for something that absolutely cannot be censored, absolutely cannot be blocked, absolutely cannot be infiltrated - yet. They will in time. Your average person doesn't understand there is nothing that is free, and they don't know what they are giving up in exchange for a "free service". Once they are aware what they've paid, they'll be desperate to spend only $100 - why, that's just about free!

In refuting the gender is merely a social construct, the author points out that feminism “constantly telling people they are victims isn’t so empowering after all," and that “individuals usually have some personal choice, at least outside of totalitarian societies.”
I would reply that feminism is a totalitarian ideology.

Everybody and their mother (literally) is on Facebook, which is why everybody uses that and not Gab. It's the clustering problem; the same problem that SFBA has. Most of those working on Social Media/Internet Media are concentrated there, as are the Venture Capitalists and others, so it behooves a company to start there and not in Duluth. Networking for a Tech Firm to meet potential executives, investors, etc. is easy in SFBA, more difficult in Kalamazoo.

Gab is infested with endless "Hitler dindu nuttin' wrong." and "Didja see Q? If you take the second letter of Q's post and do the hokey pokey with it while cross referencing to the Scofield Bible, you'll find it says 'Drain the Swamp'"

Jane Doe just wants to show mom and Aunt Mildred the pics of baby Dylan picking his nose.

Now there are "Anti-Social" Media platforms arising, like Mastodon, where you can regulate the level of interaction between a small group of people, a larger community, and the total network, and that's great.

And in reality male and female brains are physically different in shape, and females brains are slightly larger. My guess is that larger lobe is for storing (with total recall) any bad thing a male ever said.


You forgot the 'Female Napoleonic Code': Men are guilty until proven guiltier. Requires little if any memory at all.

If only there was some connection between the decline of traditional families and hobag behavior....

314   MisdemeanorRebel   2019 Nov 12, 11:52pm  

In 1868 at the Women's Suffrage Convention in Washington, D.C., Elizabeth Cady Stanton, at age 52, gave a powerful speech[49] which begins as such: "I urge a sixteenth amendment, because 'manhood suffrage,' or a man's government, is civil, religious, and social disorganization. The male element is a destructive force, stern, selfish, aggrandizing, loving war, violence, conquest, acquisition, breeding in the material and moral world alike discord, disorder, disease, and death. See what a record of blood and cruelty the pages of history reveal! Through what slavery, slaughter, and sacrifice, through what inquisitions and imprisonments, pains and persecutions, black codes and gloomy creeds, the soul of humanity has struggled for the centuries, while mercy has veiled her face and all hearts have been dead alike to love and hope!"

Feminism, including First Wave Feminism, has ALWAYS been anti-male. Stanton was also an early Socialist and a first Fabian.

Called "noble" by some, and "Masculine" in appearance by others - some things never change.

Susan B Anthony "never married", and check out of a picture of her at 28. Consistently compared marriage to slavery. Fought against the Black Suffrage Amendment because she felt Women should be first. She had a "Noble" Face... heh.

Also, another Quaker - libby denominations do more harm than any other institution. Although Anthony became a Unitarian later in life (there's a shock).

She also called Lucy Stone a Traitor for getting married... which kind of has familiar echoes...

And of course, what do pretty much ALL of the First Wave Feminists have in common?

I'll give you a hint: Banning something a guy might want after a 60-hour work week.

When Work Disappears: Manufacturing Decline and the Falling Marriage Market Value of Young Men
By David Autor, David Dorn, and Gordon Hanson*We exploit the gender-specific components of large-scale labor demand shocks stemming from rising international manufacturing competition to test how shifts in the relative economic stature of young men versus young women affected marriage, fertility, and children’s living circumstances during 1990–2014. On average, trade shocks differentially reduce employment and earnings of young adult males. Consistent with Becker’s model of household specialization, shocks to males’ relative earnings reduce marriage and fertility. Consistent with prominent sociological accounts, these shocks heighten male idleness and premature mortality, and raise the share of mothers who are unwed and the share of children living in below-poverty,single-headed households.

Boy, this one is so true. Every so called feminist I ever knew bailed into female privilege whenever it was inconvenient or uncomfortable to put up or shut op with dirty or unpleasant 'male' tasks.
