Yeah mostly agree with that
- Comment on Does the average person have no critical thinking? 2 days ago:
Social media is designed to override your critical thinking faculties.
Human beings aren’t evolved to get news/information from such a wide variety of sources at such a fast rate. Your critical thinking faculties just get overrun.
Everyone has experienced this and accidentally shared an article from The Onion or whatever without noticing in the short term that they are responding to some kind of bias being confirmed.

Holy shit, people are nuts. I didn’t realise it was tied into toxic gender roles like that when I saw OP’s comment at first. It seems like these people are stuck in unhappy marriages/long term relationships and their partners want to hurt them in a societally acceptable way.
- Comment on Anon struggles with a one day chip 2 days ago:
Just not European. To be fair in the UK there was a 50/50 split amongst my friends on how liberal their families would be. Maybe 60/40 but a plurality of parents would let their 15+ year old children have sleepovers with their bf/gfs. I suppose the age of consent is 16 here so that makes a difference.
Mine were not so liberal on sex. They got pissed with me when I was 17 for having my gf at the time stay the night in their house.
Pretty relaxed about drugs though, although that’s another conversation.

Netherlands is one example that has a lot of media coverage, i.e. independent.co.uk/…/teenage-sex-and-dutch-courage… and www.salon.com/2010/09/08/netherlands_teen_sex/
- Comment on Is it true that femboys are "fetishized" by right-wingers or something like that? Or is my friend(who told me this) tripping balls? 2 days ago:
I think this is true for a lot of prejudices. Pron sites have released data showing deep red states where one might imagine more racist people live searching for interracial videos.

Yeah ok that is mental. I can see why she is an ex.

The greentext tap has been turned back on but we’ll still get the same reposts forever
- Comment on Anon struggles with a one day chip 3 days ago:
This is incredibly specific and I’ve never encountered the women-hating-men-sleeping phenomenon before.
Do you sleep walk or something? How did you manage to upset them so much while nominally being unconscious? Your post has puzzled me.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 4 days ago:
Sinners and Stranger Than Fiction so far.
Sinners was a bit of a mess but it was stylish and I thought there was an interesting moral ambiguity to the supernatural element that has kept me thinking about it for a few days.
Sinners spoiler
It is implied that the pagan Irish vampire was similarly oppressed by Christians in the past and he is offering the people in the juke joint the chance to escape prejudice by integrating with a wider society at the cost of becoming more homogeneous and losing part of their black identity.
Stranger Than Fiction is quite old now but a fun drama/comedy with Will Ferrel which seems like it must have influenced The Stanley Parable game.
- Comment on unable to chud 4 days ago:
It really depends on the board how toxic it is.
People don’t realise how similar to reddit it is where there are dodgy subreddits like /r/thedonald or the incel-coded streamer ones that you just learn to avoid when using it.
I haven’t checked if it was still up but one of the oldest posts on 4chan - it had been up for 10+ years - was on the papercraft and origami board following one person’s progress in building an extremely complicated origami clock that actually functioned as a clock.

I believe this might be what they refer to as a “shitpost”
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 1 week ago:
Tax advantages, makes managing your estate easier if one of you dies, social status, etc.
- Comment on Why is the NFL draft day so "special"? 1 week ago:
We don’t have the draft for team sports in the rest of the world and it creates these megateams of galactico superstars. There is also relegation in European football/rugby so teams can push into the upper echelons if they are extremely lucky in terms of getting amazing performances out of nominally mid players.

- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah counterintuitively there are a lot of people who learn English as a 2nd language who have better grammar than native speakers because they actually learn the rules.
- Comment on Anon has regrets 2 weeks ago:
Amazing how anons manage to fuck up every social situation even if they are nominally successful at something
- Comment on Liz Truss to launch ‘uncensored’ social network to counter mainstream media 2 weeks ago:
It’ll be a dating site for rich people like Ashley Madison but the only person they can match with will be her.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 weeks ago:
I can see where you are coming from. My BIL has learning difficulties and was borderline illiterate before smart phones enabled him to communicate in situations he otherwise wouldn’t have been able to. Unfortunately the “like” button still causes issues such as when he liked/shared a meme of a scantily clad black lady with the subtitle “When a n*gga dick hits just right” or something along those lines on facebook - his black cousin was quite offended by that.
That said, I agree with the other commenter that ableism is highly situationally dependent. Screen readers do not handle misspellings well like they mentioned. In my opinon it would be ableist if you were debating with someone or downvoted them due to an ad hominen dislike of their spelling as opposed to their sentiment.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 weeks ago:
Could be people using a second language like others have mentioned. Another thing could be British vs US english. Webster changed how words were spelt in the early 20th centry to make them more phonetic for Americans, i.e. “colour” -> “color”

The A-list actors must find him enjoyable to work with to reduce their fees to fit that budget.
- Comment on 'Mickey 17' to hit streaming services after a disappointing month in theaters 3 weeks ago:
I hope filmmakers keep expermenting with unusual premises like this. Can’t help but think they’ll gesture to the financial performance of this one and use it as an excuse not to take risks.
Maybe it will have a long tail on streaming!
