As it happens, it wasn't, it's a real person.

Obviously society would be better with more winners, but what we need to aim for is equal opportunities not equal outcome.

As for modern society, there are many ways to view what is important and in what way. Questions like who is benefiting the most from these new masculinity rules (toxic masculinity, etc) posed on men has multiple answers.

Being mentally strong is not exclusive with being physically strong. In fact both should enhance one another. You should educate yourself on how to best take care and enhance your body and in return you get better functionality which enhances your mental capabilities.


There are more alternatives to Google & Mapbox that mostly use OpenStreetMap as a backing data source:

    https://openmaptiles.org (only map tiles)
    https://stadiamaps.com (map tiles, static maps & routing)
    https://www.thunderforest.com (only maps)
    https://geocoder.opencagedata.com (only geocoding)
    https://geocode.earth (only geocoding)
A laundry listing: https://switch2osm.org/providers/

Tile providers are very thankful for the excellent rendering libraries built by Mapbox, Mapzen, and the Leaflet project. Most maps either use Leaflet.js or MapBox GL JS (open source) for their rendering agent, now that Mapzen is defunct (although their rendering library, tangrams, is now open source).

Actually I am just noting the curious juxtaposition of these two statements and how the same persons/community can accept both of them at the same time..

>Corporate entities have an obligation to do whatever they can legally get away with in order to maximize profits...

>There is nothing remotely dubious regarding the enormous push for vaccinations, and we should applaud any measures that mandate the same.

Some kind of cognitive dissonance, I guess...
