  • 100% this.

    The question one asks one’s self shouldn’t be “am I manly enough?”

    It should be “what kind of man do I want to be?”

    Do you want your body to look a certain way? Then work towards it though diet, exercise, or gender affirming care (everything from hair loss treatment, hair removal, weight loss surgery, hormones etc.)

    What style of clothes make you feel comfortable and confident? Wear them.

    What attitude and personality feels being true to yourself and how you want to treat others? Work on those behaviours through small actions you can take every day.

    What kind of people do you want to be surrounded by and emulate? Find those people and hang out with them.

    Introspection is one of the hardest things individuals can do, it’s work, it can be a big project.

    But getting an idea of the identity you feel would be the best version of the person you want to be is the first step.

    The next step is to ask the question “what would a person who _______ do?”

    Then make a note of the actions you are about to take and ask “Would a ______ person do that?”

    Every action you take that the ideal person who fits that identity would take is a vote for you being that person.

    Keep it up sustainably and before you even realise it, you’ll become that person.



  • Thing is Gaiman pissed off all feminists with the SA allegations so of course he has disappeared from the online world because the cross over between Neil Gaiman readers and SA-appologists is very small.

    Whereas a sect of the feminists support her gatekeeping opinion that the only thing that can describe if you’re a woman is being born with a cunt. This one very vocal audience is not unified.

    On top of that Rowling is more mainstream than Gaiman is and the general public is more willing to ignore the mudslinging world of gender politics and not get involved if it means more content from a popular mediocre scribe.
















  • They keep trying this every few years.

    This ain’t going to work unless it’s sold to the public like Estonia’s X-Road:

    Complete digitisation of government, using the NHS, passport application, driving, taxes, etc. to reduce cost overheads and speed up government services. It needs to be a properly implemented super app with best industry security practices. I’d even go so far as to make it open source and have UK developers who log contributions to the project get a tax rebate according to hours/lines contributed as a sort of payment.

    Plus it would help sell UK digital services abroad by developing and advertising a local talent pool.

    Getting the UK public to be on board with just a digital ID isn’t going to fly. Why when your driving licence/learners license or passport is already being used as an ID that people carry around, and then you have your NHS number, your national insurance number, and even a gov.uk account.

    What the point of adding another one?!


  • Or increase taxes on the rich’s assets (including houses) to fund the silver sunami (i.e. the large amount of boomers retiring all at once) and therefore encourage more of the value generated to go to the worker’s wages. Then you don’t have to worry as much about the welfare state because income tax revenues increase, the worker’s private pensions also increase, more economic activity happens because more people have money in their pockets, and the economy grows.

    Either that or work more people to death to keep expanding the current wealth inequality and hope the population keeps getting distracted with culture wars and fascism.
