- Comment on Does the average person have no critical thinking? 1 day ago:
Yes. However believing all beliefs are equal because they are equally likely to be false which is what “everyone is influenced by propaganda” implies, is also an incorrect way to think and an intellectually dishonest shirking of responsibility. Kudos to you for not simply repeating the mantra but stating the right response to it.

- Comment on Playtron wanted to take on Windows and SteamOS with their GameOS, now they're announcing a cryptocurrency 2 days ago:
3.5 years old isn’t that old lol. My desktop CPU was almost 10 years old before I noticed any bottleneck in AAA games.
And speaking of AAA games from the last few years, all like, 2 of them, probably won’t be missed by most people.
The deck is a solid computer and it’s a good product that’s built well and is pleasant to handle and use and playing desktop games on that OLED with HDR support is a joy and on top of a decently polished UX (as polished as you can get in PC gaming really), the tinker potential is endless, you can do with it as you please because it’s yours and you own it - and it certainly feels like it. No adware, no enshittification etc.

Fair point! I have an electric oven thankfully. No gas in the building thankfully.

Agreed.
- Comment on I (M32) gained 140lbs in a year from bad choices, almost all in my belly (now 69-inches) due to rare genetics. With my unique proportions, I’ve outgrown most off-the-rack clothing options. Advice? 3 days ago:
You’re gonna want custom clothes. Also, not gonna lie, that video is the most extreme thing I’ve seen on the internet ever, and had there not been the story, I might have assumed this was completely made up, but fake or not - the story sold me enough to make me suck in my gut, no weird 240p .3gp dog beheading I saw as a kid could ever match this, zoomers are blessed/cursed to have this on tiktok.

And in the house in general also. The mould is everywhere unless it’s a modern apartment block from last decade.

- Comment on Does humanism lead to tolerance paradox? 1 week ago:
Yes, or course. In fact, humanism to some degree requires an opposition to anti-human ideas, like intolerance, therefore a humanist is almost implicitly intolerant of intolerance, an earnest practicioner of the paradox.

Honestly the trans community on 4chan is the only one I ever felt at home with. Most queer subcultures are fake AF and those mfers keep it real.
- Comment on Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025? 1 week ago:
Idk if anything technological change has massively stagnated because exploitation of workers is far cheaper than reducing costs through innovation.
Disposable culture: He predicted throwaway products, and now we have single-use plastics, fast fashion, and gadgets that feel obsolete within a year.
Tech burnout: Toffler said technology would become outdated faster and faster. Today, if you don’t upgrade your phone or update your software, you feel left behind.
Compare the leap between iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 and iPhone X to whatever the newest one is.
My phone is a Pixel 4a and the only noticeable difference between it and the latest pixel is that this one has a headphone jack and the others don’t and they look like shit and have a worse selfie cam lol.
There used to be a time where upgrading your GPU every year would get you better bang for your buck long-term because improvements were so rapid. Now your 1070Ti can still run most games fairly well and with something like a 3090 you can last another 5 years easily, while the PS5 is barely any different to the PS4.
- Information overload: This term literally came from Future Shock, and if you’ve ever felt exhausted just from scrolling through your feeds or reading the news, you know exactly what he meant.
I don’t get this one at all. I don’t feel exhausted whatsoever, information is actually stimulating. Of course if you only scroll the news you’ll feel depressed because we live in a dystopia, but that’s not information overload, it’s just sad. On the other hand if simply reading anything makes you overwhelmed that just seems like a lack of reading stamina so you can just not do that, or develop that stamina.
Transient relationships: He warned about shallow, fleeting social connections — something social media, dating apps, and global mobility have absolutely amplified.
I don’t think this is a bad thing.
Rent instead of own: Services like Airbnb and Uber fit his prediction that we’d move away from owning things and toward renting everything.
Job instability: He nailed the rise of the gig economy, freelancing, and how fast-changing industries make it hard to stay trained up and secure.
This is all basic capitalism and it’s consequences.
- Comment on Keir Starmer does not believe trans women are women, No 10 says 2 weeks ago:
A trans woman, and a cis woman are both subtypes of women. One used to be physically male, the other didn’t. Both are women and should be afforded the same treatment under law unless actually there’s actually reasonable issues created by that.
- Comment on ‘Honest folk are paying for this’: the fight against Britain’s billion-pound energy heist 2 weeks ago:
I was a bit confused by the use of “theft”, for anyone else wondering they mean it in the opposite way most people think, where it’s not the companies that are investing big ££££ into robbing us blind every minute, but actually normal people who are using electricity without gasp forking over the tribute willingly.

Including myself you absolute dense motherfucker. Did you read the thousands of other retards making this same point ITT before you and really decide to say it again? Or can you not read? Go fuck yourself either way. Blocked.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 3 weeks ago:
This is it. Gboard autocorrect has felt shittier to me recently as well, so I turned it off.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 3 weeks ago:
Are you fucking dense? I just told you that I’m also ESL, I don’t make such typos, it’s no excuse at all and makes it make not an iota more sense than saying the pigs are flying hence people’s spelling fell off a fucking cliff.
Lemmy is def not it, I moved here a year or more ago, the spelling has gotten very bad very recently and I only use this platform pretty much and this is where I’ve seen it the most by far.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 3 weeks ago:
So true. People are likely being fucked up by poor autocorrect algos, as I noticed even mine messing up and turned it off outright, because I blind type like 89wpm on my phone anyway so I’m fine without it. Then they’re defending it like ignorant fools that they are, reasoning backwards and perpetuating anti-intellectualism
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 3 weeks ago:
That in itself is discriminatory, I have ADHD but it doesn’t mean I’m retarded.
