“In the US, nearly 50 per cent of men aged 18–49 use online sports betting. Legalisation of sports betting has led to a tenfold surge in sportsbook spending and elevated credit delinquency among young and disadvantaged men.”
50%?! That’s insane.
“Men account for 90 per cent of the world’s 11.5 million prisoners, suffering elevated rates of mental health disorders and chronic illness. In high-income countries, nine per cent of male prisoners attempt suicide, with post-release mortality spiking due to overdose, suicide, and cardiovascular events”
Jesus Christ
The male on male violence stat is insane too, like 85% of violent crimes, are crimes by men against other men.
Despite what we may tell ourselves, we are not that far removed from the other apes.

the word manosphere always brings to mind the album art of Igorrrs savage sinusoid album

Van?
That’s definitely a sphere of men
No girl would contort themselves like REAL MEN
Yeah… Living hand to mouth really does destroy your physical and mental health over time.
It is weird how many younger progressive people are smokers in my area.

looks around at climate predictions and economic & political landscape
Is it weird, really?
It’s hardly new that politics is fucked, the climate is fucked and that the economy is stacked against youth. Nor is it new that teens get high a lot. Same as it ever was.
I meant 20s-30s. My main issue with this is I cant stand. The smell making it difficult to be around them.
Cigarette coats in cynicism what would otherwise be unmanageable anxiety about a scary future
Are you being poetic or does nicotine actually lessen anxiety?
It does, actually. Most smokers find it relaxing. Not to the extent that other, more “noticeable” drugs would, like smoking cannabis, but it does have a physiological effect of lowering anxiety.
And here I had heard it makes it worse.
Long term that’s probably true. Depending on any chemical for anxiety relief isn’t going to be doing the root cause of that anxiety any favors.
But at the particular moment that you’re out having a smoke, no, it’s great.
Those type of men…just saying
Suicide is illegal, and tough to pull off. So I just have nice fatty steaks and wait for my liver to kill me. 🤷🏻♂️

Steak is still fairly affordable here. Cigs and alcohol are expensive though.
you right b my bad
If this is primarily affecting conservatives, then this sounds excellent. My only concern is helping the normal people to avoid these harmful scenarios.
They’re victims. Politicaly, they need someone to show them a better way.
Awwe. Those poor fascists. I show them a better way every chance I get. I promise you that.
Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy. They despise empathy and consider it a grotesque weakness. They call empathy “woke” and claim that it’s something imaginary, made up by their enemy. Their media even calls it a sin. I’m going to be respectful of their wishes and not show them any more empathy than they would show me.
They want people like me to die. They’ve been celebrating the deaths of people like me my entire life. I’ve been nothing but kind and supportive to them for over 50 years and yet somehow they still consider me their enemy before a word is spoken. They chose the role of enemy for me. They will not allow me to change that role. So, I am their enemy. They insist.
Conservatives have a violent gestapo and concentration camps here now. That makes conservatives nazis in my book. I will never respect the life of a nazi. Never. Just as they will never respect mine.
Conservatives are truly, deeply evil. I will treat them as the threat they are.
