Yeah the whole image has weird lighting. But I like that his sweater matches the car.

I guess I'm just not into team sports in general. I'm a martial arts fiend so I much prefer watching a fight and seeing the techniques they come up with.
That said, hockey is infinitely cooler than for instance soccer where the players trip and pretend to be hurt every two minutes lol.

As a kid I had a huge crush on this guy since I saw him in The Mummy. Glad to see him back after all the bullshit he's gone through with his asshole ex-wife.

Idk maybe I'm weird and taking this feminism thing too seriously but I'd 100% get drafted if my country was invaded.

Hmmm, wasn't there a study that showed that cognitive dissonance, or more specifically proving to someone that their own two beliefs are contradictory, caused visible stress in the brain? Obviously there are caveats, "increased activity in the brain" doesn't necessarily equal pain, and cognitive dissonance is not the same as just hearing an opposing viewpoint but it can be a consequence of that.
That said I'm definitely not advocating for sheltering people from opposing viewpoints. On the contrary, cognitive dissonance is a feeling and like any other feeling it can be gotten used to, and the more people talk about stuff the less jaded they'll be when they disagree. Going out of your comfort zone and discussing stuff is healthy, echochambers are not.

Judging by the slashes, that bear REALLY likes thighs. That's fair, everyone has preferred cuts of meat.

Seriously, the extent to which people just don't give a shit baffles me. And not just underpaid government workers, there was this small company I used to work at that used "Admin123", or at most "[Company Name]123" for all their internal systems and databases.

The owner of the company my boyfriend works at recently gave an interview to Forbes where he said he gave a blanket 5% raise to all employees to combat inflation.
Neither my boyfriend nor any of the colleagues he spoke to got such a raise.

Hahahaha my grandma's Yorkie does that too. She's also one of the most jealous dogs I've ever met so when you're petting another dog she will make it her life's mission remind you that she's also here and would like to be pet. Usually by sitting on your lap, sometimes by yapping. (Can't really call it barking when it sounds more like a squeaky toy than a barking dog)

I think it's just hard to generalize so many people. Naming stereotypical "manly" things like cars, football, hunting... many men hate these because they were pressured into them as kids, and many women like them. I don't know if there even is anything that all men enjoy that isn't just a thing that all people enjoy, like tasty food or warm hugs. And some people even have negative emotions associated with those, like people with eating disorders or neurodivergent people who don't like human touch.
