Was reading that piece from @thegamerwebsite and once again, it's proven that "feminist" women just do not understand men on a fundamental level.

We don't protect to prove anything. The instinct to protect is innate. It's not a societal construct. It's not something we perform to gain approval from others. Protecting things that are precious to us, be it a wife, a child (not limited to our own), a pet, or even property, is a means to give the things we care about a safe, healthy life which leads to prosperity. Watching things flourish under our protection and support gives us a very deep seated, natural kind of joy.

We want this joy so badly on an instinctual level that we'll willingly sacrifice our own lives to make sure it happens.

While Diana of #PRAGMATA is a fictional robot child, the adventure the game sends us on activates a tiny portion of that "protect the child" instinct, but even experiencing a tiny portion of that feels amazing. It scratches a very primal itch that doesn't need approval from outside sources or encouragement from peers to be enjoyed. In fact, men are known to defy entire peer groups to protect their own. We don't do this to "prove" anything. We defy nature, sometimes with violence if necessary, in order for nurturing to occur.

I think feminists cannot comprehend men doing something selfless like this because they've convinced themselves for years and years that men are only capable of self-service at the cost of everyone and everything around them, but the opposite is true. History is filled to overflowing with men who built society at the cost of their own lives for the betterment of those they cared about, and continue to keep that society at cost to their own lives without thinking twice about it.

@nervous_nacho @jo44527486 @Rainmaker1973 Yeah I figure I'm an outlier unfortunately. I am glad Tesla recently improved its FDS/autopilot turn tracking in rural areas, it was hugging the outside of the turn which is dangerous where gravel trucks drive, they finally fixed that - spills mean you'd end in ditch.

@nervous_nacho @jo44527486 @Rainmaker1973 I've had high performance vehicles for decades, always put high end tires on, and do drive a little aggressively when safe. I live in the country, not city, so constant turns, other than that the tire life (2-3 year to ~1 year) delta is noticeable.

@jo44527486 @Rainmaker1973 Best I can figure it - my Tesla Y weighs almost 4600 lbs, so 30-50% more than average sedan, performance of a sport car, but the tires are optimized for mileage not durability so as light as possible. I've even swapped rims to get tougher tires and still only getting a year.

You ever read a book and you’re like “holy shit this is my favorite book” and then they make a movie of it and you’re like “I hope they don’t screw it up” and then the movie comes out and you’re like “holy shit they didn’t screw it up and this is one of my favorite movies ever”?

Loving Grok - I’ve done many plumbing repairs in my past, this was my first design from scratch. Needed to install outside water and inside shop sink along with extensible water/drain to lab in shop. Grok helped me with all the code issues I’ve never dealt with before.

@j00ny369T I had a noise like that once, driving the mechanic around with me I could reproduce it but had no idea what it was. Walking through all the mechanical systems in my head I realized it was missing roller bearings in a driveshaft u-joint, we stopped and yep!
