Getting older and seeing that it hasn’t happened yet xD
I now see the checks and balances in place to prevent society from actually destroying itself. Everything is more managed/controlled than you’d think it is, in a typical “western country” like the USA or Britain.

For me the society’s ability not to destroy itself is at an all time high, but my light blue would be 'the idea that society is sophisticated and high functioning’

- Comment on Why is comment section of this video filled with nazis? 3 days ago:
Swordgeek has already answered in a reply to a reply but it’s because Erika is the most popular marching song used by nazi germany… i don’t believe it originated in nazi germany since the melody was also used by finland.
Those commenters will generally be people who were searching for the german march and found that instead. Or it had a shout-out on a RW instageam page for sharing the song title.

- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 4 days ago:
It doesn’t work that way, at all. Credit scores are individual. Either that person is mistaken, or they were a co-signer on one or more of those loans (which makes them matter to their score also).
Thanks for fact-checking me man, I did start to think I’d got the wrong end of the stick while writing it.

Omg the concept of muktiple credit cards… such a bizarre, 90s american thing. Nothing is worth the hassle, to me.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 4 days ago:
I think that’s misleading - taking out loans and paying them back is the most well known way of raising a credit score. I don’t see why the opposite would be true.
Supposedly some people actually do this, when they can afford to, because they see the boost to their credit score as worth the actual lost cash in interest. From what I gather, credit score helps you to attain more favourable mortgages or other loans, which helps when you make big purchases like cars or if you run a small business.
Example from my own life:
spoiler
The first time i took out a student loan [UK] I left the course after about 2 weeks and repaid it all back because Student Finance England - a private entity that supposedly operates on behalf of the government - was hassling me to return the money straight away. Ironically, i didn’t need to do that, and there wasn’t much benefit to doing so. But my credit score is abnormally high ckmpared to other peoples’ so i think that’s why.
One arguably unjust part about credit scores is that the actions of people related to you, or simply sharing the same surname as you, can affect it! E.G i have heard that a friend-of-a-friend’s dad took out too many loans and now their credit score suffers.
Seems like a medieval system to me. People joke that it’s the capitalist approach to a “social credit score,” and I have to agree.
Anyway if it’s true that the actions of other people can affect your credit score, it seems like the number is nothing more than a “how much do bankers like you” score. I presume a bankers immediate family will have higher than normal credit scores. What OP/anon perceives as the score going down for contradictory reasons are actually just his score going haywire under a combination of factors outside of his control.

I love stupid kind people but hate stupid cruel people. I suppose capitalism is the unholy union of cruelty and stupidity

- Comment on If you had too, how would go about running a Instagram account? 1 week ago:
I would recommend managing it by both browser and via an app - If not on your phone, a tablet or some laptops will do (i think)
- browser makes it possible to post images of varying size (rectangular alongside square ones) alternatively you can add margins onto photos before posting them, so they’re all the same proportion.
- I can’t remember if posting on browser or on app gives better quality. Probably app is better but most people don’t want the faff of transferring photos from their camera, to their PC (for editing), to their phone (for posting).
- using the app on a portable device is the only way to post stories + reels and stories + reels are very good for promoting your page and distributing the content.
TL;DR Instagram is rigged for people with cutting edge high functioning smartphones who post Instagram reels&stories. If you only want to post images you can use the browser but your page won’t attract as many people.

- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 weeks ago:
Somehow ended up with one of these in my house as a kid. Nobody had bought it, my parents were avowed agaisnt them because they find them hard to use… must have been a gift from the honey fairy. Anyway, I insisted on actually trying to use it one time.
It’s not useful. It doesn’t do anything that a spoon doesn’t do.
You might argue that it spreads the honey in cute little criss cross patterns but honey is either so runny that it all pools together on the toast/cake it’s applied to, or is so viscuous that it doesn’t do any of that stuff and needs to be spread with a knife.
Honeydippers might be a medieval “emperor’s new clothes” style hoax.

This treatment definitely only applies to men. I don’t think anyone ever “jerked off” a woman in the 1800s. Before then and afterwards, sure, but not during the Victorian times
