This is what the older generations should try and do more often

[Gia Macool @GiaMMacool]

The world is filled with double standards, but I think men have it the worst.

Why? Because they already start off with more stressful lives than women.

Throw unrealistic double standards in there and they just feel like they’re failing all the time.

This being the case, no one should wonder why men have higher suicide rates than women.

Just look at these double standards:

Men should…

“Get a high-paying job to support your family” BUT “spend free time with your wife so she doesn’t get lonely.”

Men should…

“Guide their children so they can learn responsibility” BUT “Don’t discipline them because that’s abusive.”

Men should…

“Be masculine” BUT “Get in touch with your emotional side, just don’t cry because that’s gross.”

Men should…

“Never hit a woman” BUT “Women can hit you and you can’t do anything about it.”

Men should…

“Wine and dine women if they want a chance with them” BUT “Don’t ask for anything in return because that makes you a jerk.”

Men should…

“Dote on women” BUT “She gets to decide whether she wants to give you love back, even if all your energy is put on her.”

Men should…

“Stay stay with her even if she’s difficult otherwise he’s scared of commitment” BUT “If she leaves you after a 6-month relationship she’s doing what’s best for her”

Men should…

“Make sure he’s intelligent because otherwise she’s gonna outsmart him” BUT “Don’t explain anything to women because that mansplaining!”

Men should…

“Have high values and be self confident.” BUT “He can’t have ego because that’s just cocky.”

Men should…

“Not sleep around because that makes him a man whore” BUT “Women want a man who’s experienced and knows how to please them every time.”

Men should…

“Be self-sufficient�� BUT “He better do what his wife says.”

Men should…

“He needs to have high standards” BUT “He should t have too many expectations.”

Men should…

“Accept a woman at her best and worst!” BUT “A man needs to change negative aspects about himself.”

…and maybe the worst one of all:

Men should…

“Should be equal to women.” BUT “Women don’t have register for selective service or face up to a $250,000 fine and/or 5 years imprisonment.”

For the sake of men’s mental and physical health, I say we end these double standards and allow men to thrive again.

Every man reading this has faced one or more of these and it’s a shame.

No one should have to deal with double standards, let alone the men we want to lead us, provide for us and keep us safe.

A guy moved to Japan
and joined a gym.

After his first workout
he noticed something.

Everyone wipes down the machine
when they're done.

Every person.
Every time.
Bench, treadmill, dumbbells.

There's a little dispenser of wipes
on every wall.

He asked online if this was normal.

Hundreds of Japanese people answered.

Not one of them said
"because it's the rule."

They said:

"The next person has to use it."
"Nobody wants to sit in someone else's sweat."

And the one that got me:

"My mom taught me as a kid—
leave the bathroom cleaner
than you found it.
For the next person."

It's not about the machine.

It's about the person you'll never meet
who uses it after you.

Do not install VLC.

Once you install it, you can never go back.

You will never pay 99 cents for a codec again.
You will never buy QuickTime Pro again.
You will never renew RealPlayer Plus again.
You will never pay for Blu-ray decoder software again.
You will never see the words "this file format is not supported" again.

You will become the family tech support person. Forever. Your dad will call you at 11 PM because he downloaded a .mkv from somewhere and Windows refuses to open it.

Your answer will always be the same. "Install VLC."

And then the orange traffic cone will eat his problem in 4 seconds and he will call you a genius.

You did not do that. A French student named Jean-Baptiste Kempf did, in 1996, as a school project at École Centrale Paris. His roommate brought a traffic cone home from the street that year. They made it the logo. 6 billion downloads later, the cone is still undefeated.

Repo: https://t.co/0Tlbn7KNan. 18,463 stars. GPL-2.0. Pushed today.

Here is the wildest part:

The warning is real. Just not for you.

Apple sold QuickTime Pro for $29.99. VLC killed it. Apple shut it down in 2016.
Microsoft sold Windows Media Center for $9.99. VLC killed it. Microsoft shut it down with Windows 10.
RealNetworks charged $39.99 a year for RealPlayer Plus. VLC killed it.
Sony built Blu-ray to need a $79.99 licensed decoder. VLC ships with libdvdcss and a French court ruling that protects it.

The codec mafia spent 30 years building a tollbooth on every video file on Earth.

A guy whose GitHub location is literally "Coneland" walked through every tollbooth with a cone on his head and never paid a cent.

He was offered millions of dollars to sell it. He said no.

So yes. Do not install VLC. The codec industry has not recovered from the last 6 billion people who did.

100% Opensource.
100% Free.
100% Yours.

The biggest media companies on Earth spent three decades trying to charge you to play your own files.

One French student and a cone he found on the street made all of it pointless.

This man robbed a bank for $1, sat down and waited for the police, just to get free healthcare in prison

In 2011 a man named Richard James Verone walked into a RBC Bank in Gastonia, North Carolina

Handed the teller a note demanding $1

One dollar

Then sat down in the lobby and waited calmly for police to arrive

He was 59. No job. No insurance. A growth on his chest. Two ruptured discs.

Calculated that a federal conviction would guarantee him full medical coverage inside prison

The judge sentenced him to 3 years

He got the surgery

He got the treatment

He told reporters on the way out he had no regrets

A 59 year old American man robbed a bank for $1 because it was cheaper than seeing a doctor

He built a nationwide surveillance network tracking millions of cars.
And then called anyone who wants to know where these cameras are "terrorists".

This is the new normal -- cameras tracking your every move, and if you try to push back you become a target.

This is what your government has been up to. I didn't vote for this!
