Funny how some people still cling to feminine = bad.
its just shitty people outing themselves
Call me sexist, but being a person is such a girly thing to do. It’s also such a boy… ly? Boily? … Boys do it, too.
the word is boyish and its counterpart is girlish.
Ah yes, boyish girlish, I love her music!
Hmmm… I guess that’s one of those “patriarchy” types of language most people don’t think about?
We really only use Manly, because we’re big strong MEN, and girly, because that’s for those weak little girls?
Womanly I guess technically exists but uh, not really used in the same way.
Back when I was a young fool I got hit by an old, slightly xenophobe lady after some unfriendly words were exchanged on the streets. Her handbag probably contained a womanly brick.
Those manosphere guys only think about strong sweaty broze colored men plowing the fields.
Glistening with sweat, displaying their power with every movement - the biceps, the pectorals, the glutes. Appearing through the dust they worked up while performing their task, unphased by the swirl of nature around them, unbound by the chaotic entropy of the multidimensional Coriolis vortex that they themselves stand at the point of, defiant, inevitable. Adorned with bronze, forged from the same Earth they demand fealty of.
What’s not to love?

Little rills of sweat making temporary clean streaks in the dust, tracing down across the belt of Adonis, pointing to what is hidden but implied… Sorry, where was I? Plowing. Right, plowing, like manly, definitely straight guys.
Plowing.
I’m working hard with sweaty men to own the libs
Doing the lords work 🫡
Yes… The “fields”…
Certainly not each other while begging the manosphere guy to explain how this is the most alpha straightest thing ever.
And then they wake up and realize that they’re still in jail. Worse than that, they realize that they still have a Tate for a brother.
They’re just looking for a Dumuzi to do some plowing for them
Misogyny is the root of loads of bigotries.
Just chilling near a river, and before you know it some shithead invents spreadsheets again
Explain to me exactly what’s wrong with spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets are like money. They aren’t inherently evil and can even be really cool, but being forced to use them sucks a lot of the fun out of it.
It is funny seeing an increase in young men trying to retcon their choice to not pursue higher education by claiming “real men do blue collar work”.
My field used to be like 95% men when I started around 20 years ago. I work in medicine, but our specialty uses a lot of heavy machinery and tools to fabricate custom braces and prosthetics. I work at a university hospital and we haven’t had a male resident in like 5 years.
Then who did the surgery on my son??
The surgeon was you all along! And also you’re his mother!
Was sitting in a capstone senior class at my liberal arts university. Happened to be taking it with a bunch of business majors. Some dipshit derails the entire class by saying “why do we need to learn any of this stuff, like history? I just want to make money.”
“Haven’t you ever heard the phrase about history repeating itself?”
“Well, if it’s going to repeat itself, then I’ll just learn about it when it happens again.”
There was a literal business school like five miles down the road. And this guy chose to enroll in a liberal arts university and stay for four years. I get that the industrialization of higher education gave us that bullshit “go to college in order to get a higher paying job” and so this dude clearly just bought into that. But… again, no one was forcing him to go to a liberal arts school.
Also… Business has a history. Money has a history. If you want to make money and keep it, learning what happens before a crash or what sort of business practices tend to get you dragged out and hanged from a tree might be kinda helpful.
“I’ll learn about it when it happens again” heading into the AI bubble is absolutely wild. People have jumped from buildings over the shit that is about to go down.
In engineering school we made fun of how the people only in it for the money all wind up changing to a business major in year 2 or 3. The money is a big thing for certain, but you have to actually be passionate about it in order to get through the education. It’s baffling someone could care that little in a major famous for not being great financially
How does one qualify for a job in that particular field? It sounds like an interesting intersection of tangible creation, service, and medical knowledge.
Depends on what you want to focus on. There are a shrinking amount of technical jobs where you don’t really see patients and just build devices.
It’s kinda a dying part of the field as there aren’t many tech schools out there anymore and a lot of work is sent out to central fabrication companies.
The other route is the more popular and better paying route, becoming a certified prosthetist orthotist. It’s it own graduate degree with about half of it being focused on anatomy and physiology and the other half focusing on fabrication and patient care. After your masters you would then do a two year residency at a clinic or in a hospital setting.
Dumb and reactionary is cool because it’s easy, leaving you more time to bro.
I wonder if lead poisoning can be passed down hereditarily?
It’s just rectangles. Human urge calls for spreadsheets.
Some children yearn for the mines, and the others for the spreadsheets.
They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Got 'em all printed out on my bedsheetsdeleted by creator
I’m having a hard time understanding this. Is feminity considered a bad thing? Is the use of spreadsheets being looked down on here? Is the trade of grain in ancient Samaria look being looked down on?
What exactly was the point of this post?
My reading is that it’s an intentionally absurd example to lampoon guys who unironically do the “feminine=bad” schtick.
No, the sexism really doesn’t come across as ironic.
They find strong sweaty guys sexy and are confused by it (because they are obviously not gay), so they refuse it and project it as feminime man = gay = bad, and by extension, man doing feminime thing = weak (because feminime) = bad. People who never really learned to reason and question.
“When your pee hits the urinal … it sounds feminine.”
When your pee hits the loo
next your willy is goo
that’s a moray
Sorry, couldn’t help myself. I’ll see myself out

Only planet known to support life in the entire universe and all of existence.
Let’s have spreadsheets and taxes and shit.
Spreadsheets were needed for distribution of stored grain to start.
Taxes were used to make it easier to manage soldiers. It was easier to give them coin instead of managing food and stuff for an army.
If we’d stay away from agriculture, all this could’ve been prevented.
Maybe spreadsheets are some kind of inevitable entity that has transcended from its physical form. The consequence of existence is spreadsheets. It’s a virus that has infected reality, and every part of it pursues the spreadsheet. It’s why we haven’t met any aliens, once a locality creates spreadsheets, then there is no stable higher order to achieve, without a directive, the underlying drives that built the structures to support the development of spreadsheets become vestigial, and the civilization eventually collapses.
And I thought it was the brain worms from the Tigris
Your inability to understand the importance of each of those doesn’t lend credibility to your disdain of them.
You for real dude?
Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized and functional society. And spreadsheets are just plain cool. I really don’t get people who hate spreadsheets. It is literally the best way to organize information.
The disdain for spreadsheets comes from people who don’t understand data organization, or people who do.
Tabular data? Good.
Schemaless? Unstructured? Probably maintained by eleventy-four random sales people and an account? Being given to me like it’s a gift and expecting me to just magic it into some reporting system? On a recurring basis? No. Please God no.I can be trusted to use a spreadsheet for my things that I don’t share. Other people need to use something that will yell at them when they give it malformed gibberish.
Oh, and executable logic doesn’t belong in the same context as data. That shit needs to be able to be told apart from the data.
And let’s not forget shit! Without shit we’d not have that ancient Sumerian grain! Shit. It’s what plants crave!
Where do you think the infrastructure for society comes from dude? Organization and proper funding enables all the things you like and keeps you from being left in the middle of the wilderness to fend for yourself.
Oh damn, I thought this was going to be about sub-standard copper ignots.
I believe the bad copper notes only survived because he kept them to shove them in their faces when they came back to buy more.
“something feminine about”
You got a problem with that?
Ah yes, the ancient zoomer from Ancient Sumer
Spreadsheets are… Feminine…?
On Roshar, sure. Men are allowed war, farming, and uncovered hands. Women do the thinking, art, and have to cover their left hands.
In the real world, though, no idea what this person is talking about.
Doesn’t he seem a bit …you know …literate?
They are in French lol
What did they even need to write down?
Notes for managing projections and debts
Sumerians built and invented a lot of stuff. You see, nobody had done anything yet, so there was a lot of catching up to do. So really it was more important than writing stuff is for us in a way. Plus selling stuff, history (aka yesterday), instructions, etc.
Trading, govt.stuff.
