Every is talking about how the headrest it's made this way for crash safety when it's blatantly untrue.

The headrest is designed to protect the heads and neck of the average man, not woman. Decades of crash test dummies have all been modeled on the average height and weight of the male body. This is why women are 47% likelier to sustain a serious injury in a crash.

Think of the where the headrest is in the optimal position to protect the driver, and then move that a few inches lower. Adjustable headrest often doesn't even go low enough to accommodate for many women. There is an actual cutoff height where you are just screwed and expected to die more. Not to mention the user error of forgetting to adjust the headrest from the factory setting of accommodating to the average male height.

This is why so many people are curled up like a shrimp. They are either: short, a woman, or the statistically deadliest of all, both.

You're not getting old. The hate is real.

I've put countless hours into Rainbow 6 Siege, Escape from Tarkov, League of Legends, CoD Warzone, all back when my guy friends were still interested in these games. I loved these games to death, but some of the most vile shit ever said to me were said when I played alone.

When my friends and I moved on to other games, I wanted to play these on my own and just couldn't. Without them, I had to mute myself or get graphic rape and death threats. I went with it for a while and thought I could tough it out, but I couldn't. These days I just soloqueue league on a new account without a feminine name.

But yeah, I agree it's a breath of fresh air to play games without the hate.

People will shit on crystals believers in one breath and tell people to 'respect other's religion' in another or gloat about their MBTI assessment. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

I don't believe in either but at least I'm consistent. If you're not, then you're just finding an excuse to hate on a hobby that primarily attracts women.

This is the same thing that happens to anything that women likes: pumpkin spice lattes, uggs, horoscopes, tarot cards, rose, etc. It's seen as trivial and stupid no matter how banal the average person's interest are regardless of gender.

That's the neat part, you don't.

No offense, but your comments come off as kind of edgy and from someone who sounds like the most exotic thing they've eaten is pineapple on pizza.

Not to be a dick or anything, but I found it funny that you chose to mention him mentioning the political career and his opinion of him. Nice touch, but very much irrelevant. Keep up the good work!

https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/cancer-carcinogenicity-of-the-consumption-of-red-meat-and-processed-meat

Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood.

Before anyone asks, no, 'salt' doesn't refer to sodium chloride in this context but rather curing salt or sodium nitrite.

'Unprocessed ham' is just a consumer term for 'uncured ham', which ironically is still cured, just with sodium chloride and not sodium nitrite. But sure let's pretend every 'Ma'am' asking for nitrite-free ham is just a homeopathic dunce asking for the non-existent.

I think these kinds of comments are harmful to the discourse because there a good deal of nuance missing.

For one, it's pretty reductive to call them 'Japanese who've done bad things' when who you're talking about is dead or on their death beds. That's not who the monument is for or about.

Historical monuments aren't for attributing the sins of grandparents to their grandchildren. It's about humanzing the victims and teaching people of this generation what was allowed to happen in the past. It's about teaching them the dangers of complacency and the complicit nature of being a bystander.

If it's worth anything, 4,300 people signed a petition against the removal and many protested in person.

Yes, Japanese people as a whole are severely lacking when it comes to acknowledging the atrocities committed by their country. No, Japanese people today are not personally responsible for them. The better we are at separating acknowledgement from responsibility, the easier time we will have convincing people to remember them.

True. It could be far better, but one thing China did vastly improve on since the 1950s is bringing women into the workforce and providing them with a far greater degree of autonomy and access to real education than women previously experienced.

This might not sound like much since this has happened to varying degrees in many countries, but it's understated how socially regressive Chinese views on women historically were (and still are). Not saying things are good now, because China is still rife with gender inequality issues. Just pointing out how disgusting and ingrained Confucian views on womanhood are and how much of a stain it has left on Chinese society.

Academic performance is dictated by access to good educators which has always been dictated by wealth.

The facade of merit has always been used to justify casting away 'lazy people who don't study enough' when the reality is that not everyone can afford private tutors, exotic sports, cram school, travel experience, and every other paid tactic to overstuff kid's resumes.
