If a person can physically have sex with another, but doesn't, they are NOT involuntary celibates. It's not a case of can't, but won't. It's a state of wilful inaction, then blaming someone else by proxy. ImplicitDemands is not an involuntary celibate, they have created demands that are unreasonable. The 'obstacles' are of their own creation. The outcome of this behaviour is a forgone conclusion. This is by design for reasons only they know.

Here is his definition of celibacy. He admits he can have sex but he only wants it from women he deems worthy and who recognize his physical appearance and his value. No, his posts are about the fact that none of the girls he deems worthy will have anything to do with him, while the ones who will are no better than chimps. You really need to read the entire thread before making claims about what was said.

CharonY is correct in terms of monetary benefit, and that there is no other direct benefit to you. There is an indirect benefit in that peer review requires reviewers. If nobody does it, the system grinds to a halt. If you expect others to review things you write, you need to occasionally review articles.

Look, he certainly had interesting hypotheses, but I will add that some of his arguments are questionable from a scientific standpoint. There is a strong "supernatural" undertone including invoking "Black Magic" in some of his earlier works.

Have you ever considered simply studying physics instead of trying to invent your own. Nothing you have posted so far makes any sense.

The sociologist Carlos Santana has postulated that romantic relationships germinate when an interested party is willing to give their world in order to lift up the other. He draws parallels between the gravitational effects of the moon on the ocean and the emotional valence of one in the throes of romantic attraction.

It's almost as if those most loudly decrying cancel culture are themselves doing the majority of the cancelling, and in far more insidious ways.

How about masturbation ??? You and the OP sure seem to do a lot of verbal jerking off in this thread. Can we please ignore these two, so that they hopefully go away, and we can go back to discussing the sciences this forum is designed for ?

The units of BMI are not %. If you really had a BMI <10 you would be dead, or close to it. If you talk crap, people will lose patience with you.

lol. I preferred brown liquors more than vodkas, but haven’t walked any paths involving alcohol in a good long while now

Fermented and distilled.

Precisely. “teleport through a superposition/entangled states” in nonsensical The main issue is that m^2c is incorrect (square of a given unit of mass times the speed of light) A number people have, through the years Precision is much better, if communication is the goal. One must assume you mean what you say. Energy is given by E^2 = m^2c^4 + p^2c^2 It reduces to mc^2 for objects at rest. For photons the mass term goes to zero and E = pc You’re equating things that are not, in fact, equal Energy in massive objects is generally not in the form of photons; mass is a property of matter — they are not one and the same. You can’t “take away” mass in an arbitrary fashion. You can annihilate matter with antimatter, but that’s a very specific situation.

In weightlifting, this is similar to tricep extension, where your lunges and squats deload the plyometrics of the overhead press, depending on which bicep curl gives you a good standing row.

Except in this case, @ImplicitDemands claims it is involuntary in one post, then in another post implies he can find a mate if he is willing to lower his standards, which he refuses to do. So is a fellow really involuntarily starving because he refuses the roast beef sandwich, when his high standards demand caviar?

John Oliver discussed Schedule F in his latest episode

nah the first page of this thread is universally negative, people were ready to complain about some reddit subculture he doesn't belong to or something he isn't entitled to anyone but there probably is someone for him out there

These are not new arguments born from masculinities or failure to accept whatever recent version of feminism. The arguments about guaranteeing sexual matters in some way while comparing them to phenomena such as homelessness. Arguing for incels, and arguing against petite-bougie sexual behaviour among women in market economies has a long history in human left-wing thought, not just some Reddit right-wing or misogynistic subculture from 2016.

The subculture is that of the forum lineage, first with the PSL forums. PSL forums -> r/truecels -> r/incels -> [redacted] -> [redacted] is where the subculture came from and how researchers determine how it is evolving, by looking at a specific forum lineage For the purposes of clarity, I call this "PSL subculture" or "r/incels subculture", to distinguish it in discussions from the situation of involuntary celibacy You've acknowledged that some people attach a subculture to these two common English words used in succession: involuntary celibacy, shortened to incel. For the purposes of this discussion I need people, INCLUDING YOURSELF, to settle on either the literal meaning of the term or the subculture. Because it if it both then the latter is always opportunistically used to shut down arguments about the former.

If it's done such a way to irrationally stigmatize a large demographic of people, on the order of millions, who do not have any public defenders, I will continue to try to make that behavior stop, if it's not possible here, than other forums. I don't care if that makes me entitled or whatever. Seeming entitled is not a subculture, and is often necessary to argue for entitlements. The irrational thing people do is lazily reading a Wikipedia definition, and then broadbrushing every involuntary celibate with a Reddit subculture characterized by a very large amount of horrible things that not every involuntarily sexless person subscribes to. I will be very forceful in discussion, as much as I am legally able to, to make anyone who implies that everyone who cannot have sex are part of a Reddit subculture, to stop.

Sphere or cube, trig in general is tricky in 3D Ya'll can't navigate for crap

Trump winning or not has no effect on my personal life. Considering this forum is packed with ableists and sometimes extreme bigots on matters involving sex and romance they aren't much better than Trump vis-a-vis disability and basic human decency. Many online forums in the USA, both major parties, and most US localities have truly disturbed views about basic human needs. I truly believe that. One of the only good things about Biden's term was the nomination of Merrick Garland for Attorney General. Bu that was more the Senate than anything. The DOJ under Garland's purview has done fantastic things like going after police and cities for arresting the involuntary homeless and also going after psychiatric practices for illegal involuntary treatment. The DOJ correctly has the attitude that even if a homeless person can technically squat or take in Section 8 in another state, their situation is indeed involuntary. Most Americans I've talked to don't agree with the DOJ on this about homelessness and its why some people protest the homeless nowadays instead of just helping them. Many if not most Americans are very sick individuals. If homelessness for some reason quadrupled, or if another Great Depression happened, all current signs show the US would simply not be able to socially handle it, from the perspective of the law, debate, or any attempt to solve the problem. It can't even handle a 20% increase from the last few years. I'll likely vote third party as a throwaway presidential vote and then Dems for Congress. I vote in all the local and national primaries and few I prefer ends up winning those. On the presidential level, the Dems have a whole slate of superdelegates to vote out anyone to the left of a neoliberal Catholic conservative.

I have a question for you, do you think incel means involuntary celibacy, or the subculture of a particular forum lineage, used in gender studies and criminology articles, further used in digital journalism. I am not going to assume things before you change your mind. I you have no clear answer I'm not participating in gaslighting bullshit from you and will continue to ignore the more substantive posts you make, along with 2-3 other people.
