Not everyone loves meandering around a park or beach. Though I’ll admit its good for our brains to do so. It always feels like a chore to me, I get bored.
Also was it alcoholic cider? That would explain why it was fun.
Also those places aren’t really great for meeting people and even then you don’t want to make those locations the only dating locations.
The guys saying the top three things aren’t necessarily the same as those saying the bottom thing. But there is definitely some overlap. Which is depressing. Though, I mean is that really that surprising given the state of the world and how stupid the average person is?
The loneliness epidemic also effects women. We’re all more lonely and miserable these days. I think really men and women are alienated from each other in large numbers due to internet brain rot. And being too broke to do anything outside except like… go to a public park or a library or something.
The shitty rightwing politics comes after, the average person is too stupid to not get immediately sucked into manipulative rightwing grift when they’re painfully lonely.
I say this as I consume internet brain rot myself. Though at least its on Lemmy and not Tik Tok, Reddit, or Facebook, and its during work, not my free time.
Man I don’t exactly love two out of four of those genres myself, but this thread has a few commenters that seem to want to pretend they’re the adults in the room but in reality they’re just a bunch of miserable cunts that either hate music or only want to listen to the same fucking popular shit over and over.
Like, popular music is fine to be clear but so is wanting to listen to weirder stuff.
Dude, I can see your post history. You shouldn’t be talking. All you do is whinge and moan.
Also you’re basically a reactionary walking along the border of just calling me a degenerate. So just do it.
I think you are jumping the gun. I’m a soft anti-natalist (because people do not choose to be born), don’t believe in free will, and I kind of resent being born myself and the expectations that come with it. I’ve not loved life much and one of the main reasons I’ve not killed myself is that I am terrified of dying now that I’m alive.
By my own ethical analysis, I don’t owe the world anything on an intrinsic level. I did not choose to be here and I’ve not forced anyone else into the world. Like sure, I’ll help in a pretty conventional emotional/empathy sort of way for people around me in the present. And can empathize with kids in terms of feeling bad about how screwed they are though what with the state of the climate. Not my fault though.
If I had brought a new human being into existence I’d probably be in a perpetual state of anxiety over the responsibility of giving them a good life since I’m the one that fucked up and brought them here. Luckily for me that’s not happened and probably wont with my plans to get a vasectomy once I have the cash and a full vacation day or two for recovery.
But yeah, fuck you. I guess we’re just mortal enemies or some shit? Get your stick out of your ass. You aren’t morally superior.
I don’t have any kids and I believe when I’m dead I wont be conscious of anything so I really struggle to care unless its something that can be done faster.
That said, I kind of actually do think its physically doable within my lifetime, it would just require some technological advancement in automated construction and energy production.
My understanding is the existing Jewish population was integrated into Israel.
Do you think that they’d displace other Jewish people if they were living there already? I’m pretty sure its the religious fanaticism fueling this.
You know what I meant. People like you enabled fascists through propaganda efforts of false equivalancy.
America is literally the most powerful military and economic force on earth. If you think that when I say “world” I meant America, you are again projecting. I meant the world is worse, not just America.
There isn’t a place I could escape to that wont feel the negative repercussions. If I could afford to, I would leave. I feel no patriotism for America.
I never called for your extermination, you don’t have very good reading comprehension. That is to be expected I guess.
You are very wrong, I want you to stay alive and suffer with me. Misery loves company don’t you know?
Fuck you. I’m a Mutualist/Market-Socialist.
Hello, different poster stumbling on the thread. Just to head you off, maybe the other guy feels bad, but you would be mistaken in assuming I feel bad. I’ll be fine (probably) under Trump and would welcome death at this point anyway because I hate almost every one of my fellow citizens now and there isn’t much to live for anymore.
And I don’t think it realistic I convince you of anything nor do I care in the sense that I think convincing you would have any material impact because at this point we probably wont even have elections in the future anymore anyway. (I don’t even know if you are an eligible american voter anyway)
So now that I’ve established that I lack the material bias:
Trump is worse for Gaza than Harris would have been.
So why am I bothering to tell you this if it doesn’t matter materially anymore? We lost. Because its a stark reality that hurts you emotionally once it really sets in, and I hate you. I hate you so much. And I want you, specifically, to suffer with this knowledge. Because it’ll give me a momentary respite of dopamine hits to dunk on you while my country becomes a fascist nightmare.
Of course, you probably will simply reject this reality because you are willfully ignorant as a means to protect your frail psyche.
Oh also I literally don’t care if you call me a shitlib because what you’ve had to say thus far demonstrates that your opinion is completely worthless. And you would be simply wrong. I don’t benefit from capitalism, I have a negative net worth, don’t own my own home, I work a low paying office job, and I am not a liberal ideologically.
Vaush is confidently incorrect
On some things sure, hes confident about virtually everything he says. But I suspect what you think hes incorrect on and what I think hes incorrect on are different things. I even suspect you disagree with stances that aren’t even stances he actually holds.
I mean sure its a skill in that it is deliberate public relations craft.
No. Or at least I know Lonerbox isn’t.
And yet, I’ve given him clicks.
I thought you said you only watched clips of him? I assumed you meant by other creators.
All I can see is that I see a pretty clear method to the madness. There’s always an out, it’s always “you don’t understand the context.” It’s the same tactic Trump uses, and the same tactic used in countless ad campaigns.
Trump supporters don’t actually care about context though. They say that shit for propaganda purposes. Vaush supporters bring up context because he literally gets clipped out of context for oppositional propaganda purposes.
Also, there isn’t always an “out”. Some of the things Vaush has said/done are bad even with context. Like when he told his followers to go harass Contrapoints on Twitter once because he was upset with her and wanted to “Force her to see reason” or whatever. When he was unnecessarily nasty to TJ Kirk during some debate. Or when he flashed on screen AI generated and drawn porn of a canonically 16 year old character and bestiality.
There are a few other things I’m probably forgetting.
No, there’s lot’s of little niches that one can carve out, regardless of being left or right. There’s plenty of opportunists with supposedly left-leaning brands. The right-wing grifts and personality cults are more profitable, but it’s also a fairly saturated market with a lot of competition. There’s plenty of room for people like Destiny, Jimmy Dore, and Vaush to carve out their respective “left-leaning” niches.
Jimmy Dore is 100% vapid grift. Destiny is a terrible human being but he is also almost certainly not a grifter. He says what he means and means what he says.
Vaush is someone who is significantly egotistical, narcissistic, impulsive, and short sighted. But he is not a controversy-monger, on that front he is just a dumbass.
Vaush doesn’t debate other creators anymore. His controversies have accumulated to a point where he is essentially walled off from that for various reasons. Too many creator’s alienated and controversies fueling rhetorical weaknesses.
I’m not talking about debate really though. What I mean about his ideological honesty is that he is willing to anger his own audience, Hasan is very careful not to do that.
I know, but that there aren’t a lot of places to meet people in person without spending a bunch of money is a major problem and meeting people online to date sucks.
