I still don’t see what you’re getting at, neither do I see any gish gallops here.

1 is the claim, the other an example on the same subject.

Bear: Couldn’t tell you what he’s up to even if it wanted to

Men: Can actually listen and talk their intentions.

Why is a man less predictable in this case? You all just claim things without the slightest bit of argument behind it… so please tell my why that would be the case.

Thanks.

Not at all. You said being alone in a forest with a man is more dangerous than a bear, and I said that’s statistically nonsense.

Just because I wrote more than 2 sentences, doesn’t make that a gish gallop.

There are 2 premises:

  1. Bears are dangerous (I agree)
  2. A random man in a forest is more dangerous to a woman than that bear (I strongly disagree)

I showed my numbers for that 1 argument and that’s it. I’m happy to be proven wrong, if you have anything more than “it just is”.

I’m not defensive I find this comparison to be simply ridiculous.

Which would be?

It’s nonsense. Out of 100 bear encounters about 1 turns violent. Now, how many men does the average women come in contact to daily and how many of them turn violent? I’m pretty sure the numbers are much, much lower than that for a bear encounter.

My Wife walked passed approximately 1’000 just today. No one even talked to her in a weird way. This whole argument is just fear mongering with sociallly acceptable sexism. This doesn’t solve any problems.

Also, statistically, strangers are the last people tk worry about. The overwhelming majority of abuse victims know their abuser or are even related. You should be more afraid to see uncle Frank and aunt Jenny in the woods than any random man.

He should have let an AI proofread this…

Also the country that still predominantly runs on coal for its power grid… one would think they have bigger fish to fry. EVs are a net positive after about 40’000km compared to ICE Cars. (Even faster depending on the source of charging)

Yeah male virginity. Male is an adjective in this case.

Male or especially Female as a noun, has a very weird ring to it. Sounds kinda disrespectful, as said above, like your talk about cattle…

It's interesting, but that stat doesn't really tell us everything. It only looks at guys who haven’t been with any women since they turned eighteen. A lot has changed since 2008, especially with more same-sex couples being open and accepted. That detail alone could throw off those numbers. Plus, with all the tech and social changes, who's to say people's sex lives haven't shifted in other ways too?

Passkeys should display a QR Code for you to scan with a trusted device if you try to use them on a device that doesn’t have your passkey stored.

All those dumb videos and articles remind me of the iPhone Launch (Steve Ballmer had something to say about the phone back then), then the iPad and afterwards the Watch. And in all segments Apple now has one of if not the best product available.

I don’t think people have a clue what the vision pro is. The price isn’t huge for what it does, considering I can buy a Magic Leap 2 for the same price. This is not a 500$ toy Headset to play games.

You buy some fruits (or grow them in the garden) and ferment them… how is that more involved than growing a canabis plant and dry it?
