What a great day to be a grayjay user lol
The entire thread here is that answer, you need only an aspiration.
I'm saying I don't agree with it being specific things
This assumes that it means specific things like enjoying flowers, its leaving behind the boyish immaturity.
Not only does a definition exist in various forms, or at least enough of one to figure it out but the assumption I'm making is that none of us meet the criteria and should aim to be better people.
The point isn't about moving the goalpost so you win, it is meeting up with a better standard.
You are entirely right in my opinion, society is pretty sucky at making things right for people and so for now this concept of cultivating a mature personality aimed at men is as close as we can get for a simpler way to describe to a general group of people
This a good one
It is a word to describe a state of being, and a state of being that is a good one to have when understood correctly. Like for instance you probably don't like talking to immature people.
No it goes
act - act - act ow when did my back break
Yeah I could see that
Oh man I cant believe I forgot to mention Adam Savage, that dude is a legend of a role model. He uploads to youtube nearly daily
I think this should be higher up in this thread lol
Also, sleep, diet, exercise.
I've been getting into that the past year or so and I wish somebody told me sooner that if you get this basics right, you essentially become a 10x better version of yourself in everything lol
Yeah this is the most best advice in this context tbh. Sometimes it is helpful to meet people where they are too which is often doing things targeted to men.
I think too many people treat masculinity as specific things. This was a quote I stumbled upon just now.
"Masculinity is not the opposite of femininity, but rather the opposite of boyish immaturity"
Like flowers as a gift for example, everyone can enjoy this, the semantics of how it is enjoyed is different for different people.
"Masculinity is not the opposite of femininity, but rather the opposite of boyish immaturity."
Hmm yeah that's a good point, I guess I wasn't clear, I also didn't really know what I was thinking exactly when I made the post whether examples or resources were best.
I think both is good
Yeah iroh is freaking awesome
For those that don't know about iroh in atla A video about uncle iroh and masculinity
Doctor K/HealthyGamerGG talking about this on diary of a ceo
Suggestions for men to develop proper masculinity
toxic masculinity, tons of people aware of the bad things but most people think its taboo for men to think about their social reformation.
Some of my more well versed lady friends basically describe it like "the women can't do all the social reformation, men gotta do their part too"
Would be nice to make this thread into a list of resources, like groups, YouTube channels, websites, books, whatever.
It would be very helpful to define these things for people too I think, I don't think there is a name for men's social revolution yet, or at least one that is well known.
Smart devices and their hubs
I keep noticing that if I want a smart device, they often require you to have a hub for them.
But is there any ways in which we don't need to get the hub if we can set up something on a esp32?
Or maybe I guess I need to know the actual purpose of what the hubs are for, for instance we have a house lock with a hub, I am about to receive some automated blinds with a hub, my bedroom lights do not have a hub (one light is a wled light and the other is a store ought ceiling light), my humidifier does not have a hub.
Designer psychedelics incoming
Researchers have developed a new, neuroplasticity-promoting drug closely related to LSD that harnesses the psychedelic's therapeutic power with reduced hallucinogenic potential.
Holy moly, they actually did it, awhile back I saw a research paper about the possibility to make designer psychedelics which don't have the hallucination issues but still provide the neuroplasticity benefits, and now of what little concerns there already were for it's safety, are now less of a concern.

Star trek clothing line
Yoo this is actually kinda sick, its star trek inspired clothing line.
They dont scream star trek but any fan will not miss it if they notice, I'm not sure I'd wear any around much even if I got one just because they are still slightly noticeable as not usual clothing but they just look like fancy clothes, some of them like the v necks or hoodies seem like they would be pretty wearable though. They sell the old dresses too, they stand out like a sore thumb lol If you are into leather jackets they would work well, they don't stand out much but still very much seem like star trek.
They are suuuper expensive though I think the materials reflect their price
And they sell cool golden metal star trek badges
TIL we can legally buy safe tritium vials as keychains
tritium vials, tritium keychain, tritium key fob, titanium tritium key fob
Today I learned that it is illegal to sell tritium in the us but it is not illegal to buy it in the us...so here is a website selling tritium trinkets that come from taiwan!
They are like glow sticks that last for 10 years, it is perfectly safe unless maybe you were drinking liquid tritium for a few weeks.
new boston dynamics robot breakdancing
Maybe soon we will have our breakdancing robo-caretakers that never sleep and allow us to not spend time on upkeeping our homes, even if things like this end up costing as much as a car I think it would still be a worthwhile time saving investment
TIL humans make up a pretty small portion of the total animals of earth
In terms mamalian biomass, humans make up 36%, our livestock makes up 60% and every other wild mammal makes up just 4% of the mamalian biomass, witch is absolutelly wild In terms of all animals, we make up 2.5% of biomass, and in terms of all living things we make up 0.01% biomass
List of links for friendica servers to consider joining
I am looking to migrate from mastodon to friendica because my mastodon server is shutting down and the idea of friendicas all in one platform approach fits my needs/wants out of my use case. Which is basically me wanting a personal account for my real identity, its not something im looking to use a lot just a way I can see the rest of the fediverse in a easy way that is separate from my internet identity.
TIL western digital who is known for making disk drives is the parent company of sandisk who is known for making diskless storage.
This is funny to me because san-disk literally means no disk, same as how sans serif means no serifs.
cant see own post on community?
why is it that when i post on some communities i cant see my post on the community but apparently at least some other people can see and respond to it?
example is when i posted on the kgatlw community about the band called doom gong recently.
is it some kind of federation shenanigans like when a server is not federated with one but the other one is?
...now that i think about it, this is probably something thst has been asled before, i should have checked before posting this but ill still post anyways.
another question, if that is the case then is there a easy way to tell which servers are federated with which?
fixed: turns out hide read posts setting was enabled so i didnt see them, i had to change it on through the browser login, changing it in the voyager app for lemmy didnt change it.
Doom Gong sounds just like KGLW!
They look and sound so similar, listen to these songs! Stumbled upon them at a random event I was at and was super impressed so I found them online and now I am sharing here
Compare these 6 songs below
KGLW - I'm in your mind Doom Gong - the gong rings on
How to use peertube
id like to make the comment section into a list of ways to use peertube. i know there is grayjay, going to the peertube instance website of your choice, and the peertube app which if i recall isnt completed yet but is expected to be done sometime soon but correct me if im wrong, im sure there are other apps people use for peertube but maybe not, i havent actually looked. As well as how does everyone interact with peertube? Is it mostly following specifically people or more like other fediverse platforms where you just make an account somewhere on a instance you deem worthy and check out the whole peertube userbase, I know each instance is like a whole YouTube website, does that mean that you have to search based on instances to find things or can you search like all vs local or whatever?
Lizard wizard in toy story
Lizard Wizard is one of the many discarded fun meal toys in Small Fry. Buzz Lightyear plays with him during the reenactment therapy session and then escapes using Gary Grappling Hook. He is a small lime green lizard toy with a white beard who wears a violet wizard's hat and robe. He also looks simi...
Fireworks
It was rainy last night but some people nearby let out a few and I got 1 really good picture from it!
who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn't see anything relating to it and I'm kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
question about how to create communities
how do you create a community on Lemmy? I'm not necessarily interested in making one and actively maintaining it but just curious.
