@@ehsan_kia Yes, that does happen quite frequently. Anyone who has been even briefly involved with modern research, will testify how truly collaborative and global it really is. The somewhat common notion amongst the masses of a researcher coming up with solutions from the ground up, completely secluded and isolated from the rest of the World, is just not true. It's almost always a joint effort of a group of researchers from several countries collaborating, discussing and building on top of each other's work. The M87 project is a prime example of that.

This comment was made possible by Squarespace. Squarespace is the absolute easiest way to make your website. I've used them for a few different sites. I basically bought that domain to be sure nobody else could. I didn't really have the time or need to create a fancy website, so I just spent about 15 minutes to throw together a landing page. It was incredibly easy with the Squarespace template and, in my opinion at least, it looks great. Now I can give people one link that takes them to a page with the link to all my different social media profiles. You can really create a landing page like this, a blog, a store, really anything with Sqaurespace and what's best is that you can get 10% off your first order by using the code "monke" over at squarespace.com/MenacingMonke.

Calling yourself a “problem” because you are “taking up space” is a dangerous thought. My youngest cooking media memory is of Rachael Ray, pushing that narrative of “taking up space” is just not good for anyone, instead pushing for more woman to get invested and take passion in cooking and video editing instead of making males who want to get into this feeling as if they are an issue.

[@saquist]

Calling any one a "problem" including yourself for taking up space, in an environment brimming with space and opportunity is needlessly self sacrificial. In some cases this could be person who is attempting gesticulate or manifest their moral integrity in an outwardly obvious display or is used to pattern of self denigration.

[@ileutur6863]

@Kyle This isn't a leftist idea. Its an idea born from post modern american identity politics. The idea of privilege, taking up space, race and gender discourse. None of it exists outside of the USA and a few western European countries, no one cares about it.

[@aranisles8292]

It is dangerous, that's the correct way to describe it. He denigrates his own value as a person with something to offer. Pure self-hatred. He is telling white males they don't deserve to exist, that they should step aside and let women take over. Which is extremely patronizing to women, as if they are not capable of doing anything unless men 'help them by sacrificing themselves on the altar of 'equity'. This is a poison wrought by off the rails feminism. In the end, though, he doesn't really believe a word of it. Otherwise, he'd delete his channel right away.

[@petrmaly9087]

It is of course wrong, but it is a defence mechanism against the woko haram crowd (the cancel culture radicals) that sees anything as problematic. How dangerous it is not to virtue signal? Well: Do you remember the "coolest monkey in the jungle" kid controversy? A black kid was wearing a hoodie with that text during a photoshoot and internet mob called it racist. When his mother said she doesn't see it as a racist thing, she had to be rescued from her own house with her family because a crowd of "anti-racists" came there and attacked this black woman. They had to move to a safe house. Clothing stores were looted because of this. There are incidents like this and there is no wonder people with such a wide audience are scared for their lives.

[@amrus3550]

I think "video editing" is a key factor here. I would even say "the" key factor. So the question is the same as asking "Why are there more male video editors, programmers, and gamers than female?", which is a tough one. On a different platform which doesn't favor videos shot with high quality equipment and good video editing I imagine women are not at a disadvantage at all.

I get a better outcome if I use merino wool, this is also often called "baby wool" in my country because it usualy does not irritate a baby's sensitive skin.

Wool is naturally antimicrobial and moisture wicking. It's said to retain 80% of its insulating ability when wet. For cold weather outdoor pursuits it is said that cotton kills. When cotton gets wet it loses nearly all insulating capability and takes ages to dry. This can rapidly lead to hypothermia. As for the itchiness, it irritates some more than others. Many modern wools are very soft. As for antimicrobial, I've switched to using wool work socks exclusively. Foot health has improved dramatically. They're much more comfortable.

FYI: Because of that scratchiness, wool has a lot of interlocking microscopic fibers, much like down, so it has something like a 40-50% heat-retention factor when wet. As a comparison, I believe cotton is something like -30-0% wet-heat-retention factor (meaning it cools you when wet). There are synthetics that have similar or better factors, but that's a modern invention and historic tradition has a way of maintaining hold. And, wool is renewable and for many people, crucially not made of synthetic, plastic fibers like fleece and neoprene. There's a saying in Boy Scouts: Cotton Kills.
