Uh, this sexist "cartoonist" again. Let's just hate each other, shall we?

I also don't think that men should be given a wife by the state though...

Well, two wives just seems excessive

We could really use someone who's competent around the household. Would also take a husband and anything in between.

Ok, how about we do it like I used to play the sims in 2000.

Every house has 5 workers, and 3 stay at home people. One of the stay at home people is a cook mostly. Won't burn the house down. And can then practice other skills. While people are at work.

The second stay at home person is similar, but instead of cooking, this person is a handyman.

The third stay at home person is actually a rotating spot. Why? Because this person just stays home all day every day and increases their skills. All the skills. Then when thats done, they go back into the work force, and we pull another person OUT of the workforce to enter that 3rd slot.

Eventually all 6 of the non-permanent stay at homers will have a full set of skills.

And the two stay at home people will cook, and maintain the house, while socializing. This ensures the house has family friends. Because you know your boss won't give you a raise until you have 4 family friends.

And the 6 workers will all have high paying jobs. Which means they can afford a maid, and a gardener.

I'm a software engineer, I think I can be one of the 5 workers straight off the bat. Let's find 6 more people and we can have this eightsome working!

Robot wife though? I might consider.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Robot life partner for everyone? Absolutely.

The worst kind of person isn't someone who will defend free speech, it's someone who does so at first, and then stops defending it when they're in power.

I think hate speech should have repercussions, but there are lots of thoughts that are hard to explain. A big problem is the upsurge in these types of comics. I think they are not only unhelpful, but detrimental to the cause at hand when pro-Palestine protesters are being labeled "Nazis" and then detained. The problem right now clearly is the state, not the people living under the state, and someone saying a few offensive things, while evil, isn't as bad as the government being turned into a police state before our eyes, who will gladly shut us up for protesting against them. Stop worrying about the Nazis in universities and start worrying about Nazis about to run the U.S. military.

I've said for as long as I can remember, "nice doesn't qualify you to be my friend."

I haven't found a Raymond in Cascadia

I have to admit one of my former coworkers was like that. Not the overt misogyny (that's just objectively disgusting) but anti-vax & trumpist, yet he was a nice guy. Very confusing for me.
