    Any time someone uses the terms “alpha”, “beta”, or “sigma” unironically when referring to a person, I immediately write them off as a braindead waste of oxygen.

    I’m not even religious, and I’m praying tiktok finally gets banned.

      Definitely a hacked/fake account lol

      On an unrelated note, nothing screams dominance more than someone who gets their lifeprotips from a guy who needs to abuse women to get them to listen to him, and got arrested by the police. Sure seems the police are the alphas in this case lol.

      And in the US, E Jean Carrol seems to have shown “President” Trump who is really in charge too

        Props to the judge who reminded the jury in the defamation case that it was already established fact that Trump had raped E Jean Carrol as were the findings from a previous case, and to disregard Trump’s attorneys who claimed otherwise.

      Feel the same way but why did you mention religious in particular? Do they have something against tiktok or something? I hate it for a bunch of reasons but I don’t see anything that could be particularly religious.

        Probably the “praying” part

        Probably because they used ”praying” which is quite directly connected to religions.

      There are no human alphas. Without each other we’re all weak ass bitches. Just look at the series “Alone”. Even the most rugged outdoorsmen absolutely get fucked hard when they are alone.

      We’re a social species. Our strength is our cooperation. Anyone who thinks he’s above the rest kicking ass all alone is just a moron.

        There’s no wolf alphas in nature neither. It’s an old and debunked theory based on studying captive wolves.

    The only thing I know about wolf socialization is from a documentary I saw where 2 wolves were fucking and the girl wolf’s dad came back with the rest of her pack and caught them and when the boy wolf tried to run away he dragged her down like 3/4 of the giant hill they were on by his dick before it popped out. It was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life.

    I think Sigma is more often used to describe misogyny than anything positive, so I’m definitely not that either.

    source
    • GoodEye8@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a mockery of misogyny (or the more general toxic masculity). The Sigma male term was supposedly describing a social outcast who doesn’t play the social game but still somehow wins the social game, and thus gets respect and women. Obviously the internet ran with it because it hits the sweetspot of stupidity where it becomes funny

      Of course some people actually believe it and use it unironically, but it’s mostly about mocking the supposed Greek lettered male classification. Then again memes change in time and maybe it is returning to its original toxic meaning.

    Do people just say “type A” personality now? Or describe someone as more “passive” as opposed to “assertive”? The alpha/beta/etc terms are scientifically unreal but it’s not like people generally don’t know what is being referred to when discussing people’s general personality vibes

      Not really, they act more like normal extended family dynamics. The pyramid isn’t as linear as that implies.

  • nothacking@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The wolf thing is a myth, these actually refer to the stages of software deveopment. Alpha is buggy, unstable, missing key features and unsutable for the public. Beta is mostly complete, but may still have bugs or occasional crashes. (So basicly teenagers)
