TL;DR: the reason is that men are horndogs, and those that for some weird reason want to say “no” are pressured by the Patriarchy and/or Toxic Masculinity to say “yes.”

Did I get the gist of the article right? 🤔

Yeah, Psych today is about as credible these days as The View when it comes to psychology research.

Yeah, maybe not the horndog part, but the rest checks out if you read between the lines.

Grievance-based identity… Interesting that it is attributed by the author to straight white males; on the right “oppression olympics”, i.e., grievance-based identity, is attributed predominantly to the left.

Are you assuming that most straight white males are religious and Christian? There’s probably some truth to this, at least in the US, but I doubt that most straight white males are religious enough to have a persecution complex. Moreover, from my understanding and experience, the persecution complex is mainly attributable to Catholics, which further reduces the sample size. On the other hand, I think some flavour of a persecution complex could be attributed to any religion, not just Christianity. After all, religions control through shaming inappropriate behaviours and rewarding desired behaviours.

My original point was mainly about both sides (left and right) attributing grievance-based identity to each other. There’s probably more to it than that. The truth is out there, but I feel like neither side is doing enough to understand the nuances of what’s going on in society and oversimplifies the dynamics at hand.

I think this article may shed some interesting context and complement OP’s linked article nicely: theconversation.com/gen-z-boys-attitudes-to-femin…

Hear hear! Meaningful discourse can be very powerful.

I’ve been using the self-hosted open source version for just over a year now for personal use (friends and family). I’m pretty happy with it.

Has anyone tried the commercial version with the web interface?

Interesting take. I’ll be making note of this author and reading more of his posts.

Depending on your needs, a static file CMS may be a good fit. We’ve been using Grav CMS with great success to retire a bunch of Drupal and Wordpress sites. For simple sites, it was a no brainer.

The Defiant was a “tough little ship.” 😉

For starters, I just want to clarify that this isn’t a shot at OP, more so this is a criticism of the linked article.

So the article can be summarized as such:

1. Ransomware is a problem
2. There are Linux versions now.
3. Some comments about Linux being on 3% of the desktops now. Not sure what the point of this was… since the author then says that Windows is still 80%?
4. Linux servers are a much bigger/viable target, because the Internet runs on Linux, including financial sector, databases, “always on” systems, etc etc…
5. Ends the article with generic best practices like “deploy modern EDR” and “proper backups”.

All in all, this article contributes very little in terms of informing the reader or making any sort of original or insightful claim.

Not sure if it has anything to do with the Star Trek series, though… or does it?
