Put a laugh track. It would be a hit sitcom pre-2010.
- Comment on 1 day ago:
I didn’t look at all the comments, but this is intentional. One of the streaming platforms (probably Netflix or Amazon) originally made an algorithm that tailors posters to the individual. It’s the usual A/B testing psychological bullshit designed to maximize your likelihood of watching a movie.

There’s nothing the internet loves more than a big spectacle. You’re all proving his point.
- Comment on Being poor is expensive 2 weeks ago:
That’s a marker of the upwardly mobile. At some point they reach a threshold of wealth where they can be paying other people for their time.
Those who stay poor might look at them like they’re spending money recklessly to pay for the help. They don’t realize the financial crossover that’s happening.

It’s fancy referral link spam.

And of course it turned out moot is directly linked to the Epstein class.

The problem will go away if they post enough “china bad” on social media.

You’re talking about the logical fallacy. Or maybe you’re not, I don’t know. It’s only a bad mindset when the authority isn’t qualified.

You can go back in with superpowers and any objects you want.
These thinly veiled right wing memes are always thought terminating.

What are the vibes though?
- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 2 months ago:
It’s another symptom of the infinite growth mindset that is not only plaguing boardrooms but average citizens.
- Comment on Channel 5 found Gen-z "looksmaxxing" influencer Clavicular is funded by Peter Thiel 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised if this kind of thing is widespread. It has always felt uncanny how internet cultures pivot into bizarro worlds through the 2010s. We now know Epstein played a direct role in 4chan. We’ve always known Thiel is one of reddits early investors, but that has flown under the radar. Nobody talks about that.

That’s seems to be the formula. Especially when they’re targeting younger demographics or quite frankly simpletons. Normal + crazy = extremist cultures. Nobody can get through to the cult followers because they’re lead to believe you’re trying argue against the normal thing when trying to explain that they’re misled about the crazy thing.

The last point hasn’t actually happened.

Academia is rife with bigots. This is an example of Horseshoe Theory in real life. They’re pigeonholed into their narrow track in life that they haven’t spared much thought for other topics. Not all that different from someone who is uneducated and ignorant.
They over-estimate their proficiency in other areas by assuming because they’ve studied hard at one thing, they must be good at anything. At best they know of the concepts of the -isms and repeat the right words when prompted to do so. But catch them in a moment such as this and all is revealed.
The internet is historically like this on account of it leaning towards the academically privileged classes of the world. People conflate socially maligned behaviors with education and professional status.
All you’ve done is reinforce that point. Because she is a scientist or because another person is a lawyer they are less deserving of this behavior??? As if a less privileged woman would be. You conveniently weaved your narrative around this. Education and class are inextricably linked.

The difference in attitudes from a decade ago is 180 degrees backwards. Young people and academics are where revolutions begin or end. Those people have been demoralized and pacified.
- Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing? 3 months ago:
I’ve seen it before from retail workers. The first time I thought they were on drugs.
They don’t activate until they decide to act. They don’t engage in formal greeting. Like, “Hi, how can I help you?” Like an idle NPC that hasn’t been triggered to run its script yet.
It’s probably related to the perpetual screen use that causes derealization or whatever. Like how streamers walk around in real life but their mind is engaged in the virtual world of their chat channel, and the real world to them is the virtual one.
- Comment on Guess who will be classified as an extremist by Palantir in 2030 for expressing criticism of pedophilia 4 months ago:
More like they’ll persecute you for being a pedo. The go to move for these chuds is to accuse others of their own crimes.
- Comment on Anon argues on reddit 4 months ago:
Meh. It’s a required feature at this point. Someone has stalked me on lemmy too.
At some point people started taking the internet beyond seriously. As if every random thing that’s mashed into the keyboard is tantamount to sworn affidavit than must be held up to scientific peer review.

A fork won’t do you any good. This has to do with Play Services, not the OS.

These are creative writing exercises on reddit. It’s gotten a million times worse since LLMs.
- Comment on "Ok, Millenial..." 🙄 4 months ago:
Boomers and Gen-X were the architects of the early digital era. Gen-X gets lumped in with Boomers because kids are dogshit at telling age. Older == Boomer to them. Boomers are the villain so we shall not give them credit for anything. That’s forbidden.
Millennials were too young to be able to make their mark on the digital world. Millennials largely architected the social media era platforms. This will never be in conversation because Millennials can do no wrong.

The men’s team immediately turned a massive win into a massive embarrassment.

Yeah. I didn’t get the hate for the movies. It’s Anakin when he was an angsty teenager. The neckbeards saw their own reflection and couldn’t handle it. They reacted in the same way too.
- Comment on Anon gets ghosted 5 months ago:
One time I saw when an anon posted archive links to threads that were full of broken bots. Apparently if you snipe one of the commonly posted threads in /g/ then the bots will malfunction and post nonsense.

Instead of slop they feed you guac.
- Comment on Anon uses the internet like a normie 9 months ago:
Probably a reason why people brains have turned to mush. We’re in ad tech hell.
- Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 9 months ago:
Most of the “boomer” discussion is veiled ageism and ignorance. The younger generations are setting themselves up to be “boomers” themselves. Inevitably they will be old themselves. They’re already willfully ignorant. They take joy in it even. Not a good track there.
