Since you bring up Google - do you remember the search engines of yore, when websites were ranked by how many times a search keyword appeared on a page? Those were neutral representations, and they were shitty as heck. Algorithms aren’t necessarily bad, they can filter out a lot of chaff. In this case the chaff being reviewers who blast a game because it’s ‘woke’, etc.

Are you all brainwashed clones, or just one guy with a lot of fake accounts?
Yeah, it couldn’t possibly be because you’re spouting some insane views.
What goes through your mind, really? “But what if people say that I raped them”?
Some people believe in justice as an ideal, not justice because we might be subject to it. Granted you probably have to understand the concept of justice first.
Always the same bullshit over and over, the “you are a rapist. Now prove that you’re not” sentence written almost word by word
Again, I wonder why. It’s not as if it’s some huge glaring flaw in your argument that you’re just ignoring. You propose to give half the population the power to destroy the life of the other half with no checks and balances, and fail to see how it would be abused. You’re exactly the sort of idiot who ‘thinks of the children’.

But by that logic, astroturfing simply wouldn’t work, when we know for a fact it works very well.
- Comment on Mina The Hollower Is Now Metacritic's Highest-Rated Game Of 2026 23 hours ago:
I don’t know. I’ve never heard of the game before this post. I’m just pointing out the ridiculousness of hoping for the astroturfers and shills to out themselves because they’re feeling guilty.

Thank you. I’d be worried if somebody making the suggestions you are thought I was smart.

Oh wait, now you’re advocating for an investigation? I thought we just needed an accusation to be presumed guilty?

Prove otherwise or go to jail.

It’s a serious epidemic and the amount of lives ruined by false accusations pales in comparison to the amount of victims that come forward and the amount of those who are too afraid to come forward.
That’s a false dichotomy. Not believing accusations by default doesn’t mean we disbelieve them either, or discourage victims from reporting. It just means judgement needs to be withheld pending investigation.
Also you can always appeal your case.
Not how it works for rape accusations. You don’t have to be convicted to lose your job, friends, family. If you’re a victim of a false accusation, you’re as much a victim as any rape victim.
It’s not even close to comparable. It’s almost like voter fraud with the amount of cases where someone has lied about being raped.
Nobody’s claiming the numbers are similar. I’m pointing out the absurdity of defaulting to believing any accusation without evidence.

I am also not saying that all accused rapists are guilty, but that you should believe the victims unless you have strong evidence of the opposite.
You’re a rapist.
Onus is now on you to prove otherwise. Good thing negatives are so easy to prove.

There’s a big stretch between claiming on a case by case basis that justice has been miscarried, and making a flat out statement that all accused rapists are guilty, which is what your statement would mean.

His last incident was almost 25 years ago from the looks of it. And he’s since apologised for his actions, sincerely enough for the victim to forgive him. At what point does somebody get away from the mistakes of their past?

Are you one of those people that defend rapists by saying “innocent until proven guilty”?
I was with you until this line popped up out of nowhere. Like, wtf. Yes, that’s the basis of our fucking justice system.

Exercise portion control
How many fries you eat matters more than things like the fries’ surface area or the type of oil used in making them, Lindsay Moyer, a senior nutritionist at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said.
Consider, for instance, that a large serving of McDonald’s fries is 510 calories, nearly the same as a Big Mac (540 calories), she said. The Agriculture Department lists a serving of fries as three ounces, which amounts to 12 to 15 individual potato sticks, or about 140 calories. Split your order, get the smallest portion possible or substitute with a side salad or some kind of green vegetable, Ms. Moyer said, or get a baked white or sweet potato instead. “There aren’t a lot of people who are sending back three-quarters of an order of French fries,” Dr. Rimm said. “I think it would be nice if your meal came with a side salad and six French fries.”
Here’s the original article with context. The folks were absolutely serious about what they were saying up until the Internet blew up on them

- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 5 days ago:
all seats should be reclined 100% of the time and you should get an up-slanted pillow for your back so you can sit upright.
Replace ‘extra pillow’ with ‘chair back that can be raised’ and guess what, you’ve got the current situation.
- Comment on We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible. 1 week ago:
But that’s still based on random points in history. Their argument is basically ‘climate change started at this point, so that’s where the max sustainable population is’. Which makes absolutely no sense. Technologies were different, cultural attitudes were different, yadda yadda. It’s Malthusian arguments in a new (and less logical) wrapper.
- Comment on We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible. 1 week ago:
That was a weird ass study, they calculated the number based solely on historical population numbers and not any actual metrics. I have my doubts how useful a calculation that actually is.

Drowning in shallow waters is extremely common, more than you’d expect. Panic probably plays a large role in it.
