Incorrect. Commonly happens in the UK too.

The thing that bugs me is how selective the study is. The amount of dads that were broken, took their life or were not far from it, and to pick one small study focussing on how mums were negatively affected by it is galling. It’s like studies on the impact of police discrimination faced by white men. Contextually an insane and insulting use of academic funding.

It’ll be used to further rebalance the courts further away from shared parenting and the child’s right to access both parents which is a UN right and Scandinavia does far better. The experience for fathers is traumatic.

I don’t envy you. Keep going, and even when things look bleak, keep going. Things can turn out positive, even against the odds and even with the most biased CAFCASS staff. Not sure it’s relevant to you, but I’ve heard Both Parents Matter (formerly Family’s Need Fathers) is an excellent charity for support and advice.

I will say, not everyone can do academic studies. Some don’t have the qualifications, or lifestyle situation or credibility to do anything that would be any more than an online blog and with far less impact. It is more than fair for someone to comment on the studies shared. Isn’t that what this community is about?

And dads too? Let’s see that death rate for those who went through the family courts. That shit is brutal.

CAFCASS often take accusations from mums as truth without verification.

True and that is valid to many. I’ve done my fair share of personal sacrifice. It’s more than reasonable to take a break to preserve your mental health.

Why would how I mentally process news have any effect on what others have done previously? The people fucking the world up hold that responsibility.

I could feel the weight of that flail around aimlessly, or end myself, but what is that going to achieve? Its just dumb. Wise folk pick their battles.

I just stopped following a lot of it. Even reputable places resort to hyperbole. I switched off for my own mental health. I still know what’s going on. I do not discuss it on social media.

Ultimately, to handle the fact that things are going to shit, you either choose, despair, ignorance or indifference. The last was my choice.

Nah. Good shot.

Don’t assume, it makes an…

Example of China using this?

Weird. It’s mostly techie nerds. Not all lefties are communists.

It does matter. I signed up to lemm.ee originally. The 4th biggest instance It is no more and my account and a few communities went with it. That risk still exists on mastodon.

It’s considered permanent though. Shouldn’t go ahead under view it can be reversed. Saying that, the piece of mind it brings is wonderful.

Maybe consider freezing sperm first just in case.

Isn’t that just copium. Incel is in the name. They don’t have a choice in there abstinence.

But the lack of manpower constraints has increased scale massively. Before swarms required risk of life. Now it requires dudes on remote controls sitting “safely”.

Wasn’t Ukraine blocking drones with nets?

Warfare is evolving. If you have anti-defense for 20, they’ll send 30. If 30, they’ll send 40. Sometimes you need something as a “safety net” just in case. It is better to have it than not. Russia militarily is a joke in many ways. Disliking them doesn’t mean everything they do is stupid.

Most of the threats now need to be adapted for by even leading military powers. What defends now won’t in 2 years. Adaptability is the main advantage now.

I mean, if it works, it works. Hopefully Ukraine keep finding problems for them.

You’re not the only one.

No, they just don’t have the same principles as us. I love Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the same level of smaller active communities. There is more work for us to do.

You do realise they only run one server? All the others will be free of their direct influence.
