It's an older meme, but it still checks out.

I only know him for his, as of late, takes on toxic masculinity. Some are good, and some (like the one I highlighted) are dreadful.

Oh, shut the fuck up.

I was listening to an excerpt of Jimmy Carr interview a few days ago in which he was arguing that one of best ways to combat toxic masculinity was to encourage young men to go down to the pub with the lads. That men in groups will keep checks on others within the group.

I respect Carr and his crusade against toxic masculinity, but I am a guy and a lifelong feminist (thanks mom) that grew up in an extremely misogynistic culture. Sure, my friends would have kept me in check, but that's because we were always a mixed gender and sexuality group. Most "lads" crews I knew, once drunk and rowdy, were more likely to gang rape a girl than not if she told them off. Sorry Jimmy, humans are still way to close to close to chimp to be left unchecked.

I became more conservative in my thirties. By the time my forties rolled around I had already shaken off that virus. Even then, I was only fiscally conservative.

FYI: You can still be a parent. You can have it all if that is what you want.

No need to subpoena Reddit. I moved to Lemmy.

You definitely want to use the correct bit, and a drill with a level bubble built in. I also recommend the mount to be relatively close to a load bearing wall, and or "sister" the joist.

I pay subscribe to Netflix for my wife, and Dropout/AppleTV+ for me. That's it.

In the eighties, there were a lot of news reports about the high and climbing rates of suicide in teens, whixh led to my original comment. After a little research, it turns out that Gen-X is having a suicide problem now.

So if both Gen-X and their kids (Gen-Z) are committing suicide now, is it really a generational thing, or is it just that today sucks really hard?

PSA: If you are an indoor swing enjoyer, you might be tempted to use brackets like these to hang your swing.

This mount type is a bad time waiting to happen, especially if you are a bit heavy and...enthusiastic.

Instead, I highly recommend the following type of mount, especially if you take it a step further and add a thick plate of metal between the nut and the wood in order to spread tge strain and reinforce the mount point.

PS: Drill your holes from the top (attic) down.
