This kind of "checking that I'm still orthodox" post makes my skin crawl. Who is "we"?

Well, of course. Conservatism (and authoritarianism) at least pays lip service to addressing their concerns. From their perspective, the Left have ignored and devalued them for years.

When a man is disadvantaged but is constantly told he is the beneficiary of the patriarchal system, he feels dismissed and unsupported, and his actual needs aren't met.

I've never shorted stock before, but I'm really tempted to start now. RDDT will become the inverse meme stock.

I think men in general need to stop smelling their own farts and take a long, hard, and uncomfortable look in the mirror.

Figure out who exactly it is you want to be. What traits does this version of yourself have? Chances are, ‘intolerant shit sack’ aren’t the words we want to describe ourselves with.

I think this mentality is why so many men have a problem with feminism. When you start your conversation with "you're the problem", you're going to alienate the group you're attempting to reach out to. Men have real problems that deserve to be noticed and recognized, and not all of them are a result of patriarchal culture. Telling them that they're to blame for their problems because they're "intolerant shit sacks" is just going to convince them that the problem is feminism.

Well, this is completely unsurprising and what many people have been saying for decades.

Just a side note, the whole "men's brains don't mature until they're 25" thing is a myth.

It is a sort of pulp science fiction that was very typical of it's time. It's not literature, but it is a fun read. Timothy Zahn has a degree in physics so his work is always reasonably accurate, especially his more recent work. He's one of my favorite science fiction authors.

I highly recommend the trilogy. It's a worthy addition to your Star Wars novel collection.

Our homeless exist on purpose, it wouldn’t be that expensive to provide minimal shelter.

This is literally the truth. The state of California spent billions on serving the homeless over the past several years, and studies found that it would have been cheaper to simply pay their rent. At market rates.

Shipping fees for returns isn't too bad, but if it looks like a retailer isn't standing behind the products they sell them they shouldn't be surprised when shoppers shop elsewhere.

Every time I mention that I have a very modest ability to write code, people instantly think I'm a genius and can make a computer do anything.

Yep, and surprising absolutely no one.
