i am totally going to come across as a boomer in this post but as an engineer it's common sense to not build systems with a single point of failure. and i'm starting to realize that our usage of the smart phone is exactly that. a single point of failure. the calling/texting is the implied function of the smartphone, which is fine. that's what it's built for. but nowadays we don't think to keep a physical map or atlas or gps unit in our car because our phone has google maps. we don't keep address books anymore because it's all stored in our contacts. i serve customers who no longer carry a wallet/physical card because it's all on their phone. this is literally a single point of failure. if you lose or break your phone when you are in a foreign place you are fucking screwed. maybe you're still screwed even in your home town because so many people have become accustomed to using a smart phone to take them anywhere.

The “Male Loneliness Epidemic” Does Not Exist

The media panic around “male loneliness” is driven by cherry-picked statistics and sexism. Now, that’s sad.

Medium

Lonely men exist. Male Loneliness(TM) does not. A look at the evidence for the year's most annoying discourse.

the-brodie-set

There is no widespread outcry about the “gay loneliness epidemic,” or the “Black loneliness epidemic” or the “women’s loneliness epidemic,” even though there is just as much evidence to suggest that loneliness is a problem for those groups. The “male loneliness” panic only exists because of the unspoken and misleading assumptions that undergird most popular reporting about gender: (1) If you see the word “man,” you should assume it refers to a straight white man, and (2) straight, white men are entitled to get everything they want out of life, and if they don’t, that constitutes a crisis.

sprinkledsalt

This whole thing is very good and I’d like to highlight another excerpt:

“Men are in crisis, these people say, because of feminists, who have made it so that men are now the more oppressed and disadvantaged gender. In order to fight the oppression of men, we need a gender-role reset that puts men back in their rightful place (in charge). If women object, that’s proof that they are bad, selfish people.

Men are victimized by women having civil rights, and women need to give up their civil rights so that men don’t suffer: That’s where this is headed. Women will also need to give up their standards and sexual autonomy, because men’s presumed right of sexual access to women dominates this discussion. Few progressives or leftists will argue out loud, as Ross Douthat once did, that men are turning to the far right because of sexual frustration, and that we ought to ‘redistribute sex’ by forcing sex workers to service them. They will, however, argue that by being forthright or harsh in rejecting men, women are ‘fueling incel shit,’ which is another way of blaming women for men’s worst actions.”

Don’t assume malice. Assume ignorance. Life is easier, the world is kinder, and you can educate. Actual malice is pretty rare, I find.

froborr

Always remember Hanlon’s Razor–”Never assume malice when incompetence will suffice as an explanation.”

That’s said, never forget Fred Clark’s Law, either: “Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.” There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice–at which there is simply no way to become that ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.
