The misc tools drawer? I have one that's overflowing. My parents have multiple drawers and cabinets of this.

Government officials have also been executed for corruption, especially since Xi Jinping became general secretary.

That is SteamOS 2.0 which is nearly a decade old.

Where did you find a SteamOS 3.0 ISO?

It's okay. You don't need to apologise. I was also missing an important point.

That is an unfortunate experience. And the comfort women idea is just eww. I've only seen this idea floated in far-right circles.

I have helped out quite a few younger men who looked up to me and I did "fix" most of them. I can't say how much of that was me versus the maturity that comes with age. There are ones I couldn't, whom I don't talk to anymore and wouldn't try again either. But I do believe that a big chunk, if not the majority, can improve because I've seen it happen myself.

And women can do a lot here if they want. Three girls simultaneously saying "eww" or "that's very uncool" does way more damage to a young man's confidence than you realise. You have to let it cook.

Reactionary ideologies like these prey on the vulnerable. And we cannot just abandon all vulnerable. They can be communism's biggest allies because they are usually the most exploited.

I still feel we are arguing over different things. There are young confused boys who are struggling with life and adulthood and a section of men are telling them that at least a part of their problems is coming from how women behave. Then there's your middle aged uncle who hits his wife. Two very different groups. The latter cannot be saved, no arguments from me.

How about we compromise and say that other men use 'elder brotherly guidance' and peer pressure to pull them out while women keep their distance from them. Is that acceptable?

They compensate elsewhere?
