You know cats are meant to remove rodents? Mine does the opposite. She brings live mice in the window and lets them loose.. then goes to sleep. I swear I just heard a squeak.

I understand the 'it's all men' movement. I have cared for a survivor for years, I'm well aware of the realities. I've given up physical love for my wife, and I would happily be lynched by a mob if it would change the world for other children like she was... but please don't call me a sympathiser.

Well I got myself into trouble again by talking - that being said, I stand by the statement that communication is never a bad thing - even if I do get shouted at and accused of horrific things by an angry mob. Does make me a little fearful of those poor souls subjected to mob rule in real life.

Fair enough. I take things literally, when I hear the statement 'all men' it is the same as 'all women' or 'all' of anything, and doesn't ring true. I may have trouble understanding the social context of such discussions.

I agree entirely, I never said otherwise. Our society is completely broken in every way. I have no idea why people seem to think I said anything different.

Please don't call me a rapist protector, rapists have destroyed the lives of people I love. You are now blocked.

I agree, but I don't see how communication is ever a bad thing. (I have some autistic traits which get me into trouble at times!)

The world is a disgusting place, filled with corruption and abuse at every level of society. Exploitation is intrinsic to western civilisation - only by exploitation can you reach the "top". I am certainly not debating that. London, where I live, was built with blood, and nothing has changed.

No, I speak for the men who struggle on a daily basis to care for their families, to do the right thing, to be good people. Hatred without boundary isn't good for anyone. I do not think anyone is stupid here, we can only make judgements based on our life experience.

I understand your anger.. but I don't need to self sooth, and I do not need to justify myself. Half of humanity are awful people, most of those are men, not all, just most.

Some men care for others their entire lives. Some men are not capable of sexual assault. Those men are not the ones in the group chats and not the ones in bars and clubs drugging women.. or abusing their own family members. These men do exist.. but you're far less likely to meet them than predators.

Can't really argue with that. It's a shame because we have as much capacity for inspirational acts of kindness as we do for evil, but then the evil half of humanity just happily destroys and exploits any kindness it comes across. I for one look forward to our independent AI overlords taking over.

It's worse than that, the most vulnerable are unable to voice their suffering or escape their exploitation.

We all know this but it never happens. Burnham changed his mind.. why? Because powerful people told him 'no'. We are all an exploited people in every way. (Some more than others)

Indeed. We're almost lucky that climate change will destroy society. The alternative is being locked in this exploitative, corrupt, disgusting situation forever. We've been lied to and manipulated since Reagan.

Applewood isn't bad. It has a bit of a funny texture but it melts nicely in the microwave. Some other ones smell horrendous.

America isn't 'ready' for a female president because too many of the population are sexist, racist, abusive and controlling. Oh, and fucking idiotic. The world badly needs more black women in charge. Old white men with money almost exclusively made that money in terrible ways.

Of course. Their leader is a pedo. He's the king of pedos who helped run a global child trafficking ring with Epstein.

Only in the Abrahamic religions. Before the spread of Jewish religion through the Roman empire which was known as Christianity.. there were civilizations that respected women. We've been mired in religious dogma for 2000 years.

Simon the realist @criamulus.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yup. That's been my belief for the last decade. A tiny minority of humanity, those in power, are killing us all. Why is there no obvious way to stop them? Computers and globalisation have blurred the lines of culpability. That or the string pullers are keeping a low profile. Blackrock et al?

Honestly I have no idea what is going on here, but if their target audience sees this then that's a win for them. The fact everyone with education and/or common sense views it as a farce is immaterial. That's Trump tactics 101.. show no shame, be brazen and corrupt and find the people who buy it.

Simon the realist @criamulus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Yup. Repeal all of Reagan's bullshit from tax rates to stock buybacks and no doubt 100 other things since then... and change may occur. I've got a bigger bet on us being wiped out by one of the many dangers we face globally before that happens. The rich have us locked down thanks to media control.

The man sat next to Trump in the world cup. If that's not proof of guilt then what is? Other than his attempt to then sell off the world cup immediately after. The fact he's not been removed means no one has the power to do so. He's going nowhere.

Quite right. It's hard to actually make friends as a man, case in point, friendly with some guy I was doing Kung Fu training with, have a chat with them outside the training and realise they're a piece of shit - no more friendship. If you are not disgusted by them, you are guilty by association.

I don't know if you can, I mean, maybe you can, but this is endemic in our society, women are second class citizens, sexual assault is rampant at every level of society. Children are forced to do what they are told, under threat of violence in many cases, and they grow up believing this is normal.
010
Simon the realist @criamulus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I suppose that's true, but I imagine it'd be a tiny minority, and the chances of them sexually offending again without it are extremely high. Blinding them? Hmm. That just adds more pressure on people/society to care for them.

Castration massively reduces violent impulses and sexual urges. That fear seems unwarranted.

Simon the realist @criamulus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
These men should be castrated. Simple, effective. They have destroyed a woman's life (and most likely others in the past.) I imagine nothing will happen to them - given the US administration is run by people who will likely applaud their actions, they'll probably give them a medal.

I don't know why people are worried about AI killing us. We're already doing that to ourselves.

Simon the realist @criamulus.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Here's a thought. With all the AI rogue hacking incidents with the new models.. if everyone with access to those models asked it to find and publicly release the Epstein files for the good of all humanity... they might actually do it. Feel free to test my theory :)

Action is the only thing that works - but no one knows what 'action' looks like in this crazy world. Tear it all down and rebuild from the ground up seems the only way forward.

Vaccinations are vital for preventing mass outbreaks, and the greatest of human medical advances. None of this doubt existed before, as those before us saw how badly they were needed, they watched their children die. A generation later and we think we're invincible, purely because vaccines worked.

Sam Altman saying they are working towards AI conforming to standards of human behaviour (in the wake of them hacking websites) is laughable. Human behaviour is greed, corruption and depravity. Not really the goal we should be aiming for.

True in most cases. Look into people's eyes, man or woman, and they are insane in some form. That is a problem from society, rather than strictly down to chromosomes. We live in a world with no guidance. (If you want an actual entity to blame, I'd go with the Roman Empire for shaping us.)
