“certified freak” is relative. If I met them, while we couldn’t bond over deer vagina, I would probably just see them as a suitable new friend. Their parents, on the other hand.
Hell, if their parents met me, they might be more thankful for the spawn they have by comparison. I would do my best to make sure of it.
- Comment on Anon is an artist 3 days ago:
anon’s parents are idiots for raising them with no secure personal personal space. I know of no more certain way to churn out a certified freak.
- Comment on Anon is a fact checker 1 week ago:
The fact they tried to write 15% off is what made me laugh the loudest. Not a “that’s actually funny”-laugh, just pure mockery at OP’s “well-meaning” take.
Takes 3.5% of the general population to start a revolution. Normies think 15% are ineffectual loners, or uniformly satisfied because their numbers are “so low”. They think these men are both scary, and a non-credible threat, un-worthy of even acknowlegement.
Meanwhile, a large number of “non-virgins” who think the same way as the worst in-cels are running the US into the ground. Sure, ignoring them is the right call.

Some just gotta have sex before they can acknowlege that it might not be all their lif is missing. Teenage hormones are so over-the-top, its a wonder so many of these men live long enough to voice their beliefs from the older age brackets.

I mean, yes, but I was more referencing that there was exactly one other thing of any substance besides the TV thing in this greentext.

- Comment on Your CV is not fit for the 21st century 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, almost any job I’ve been hired for has involved a hand-delivered resume(or paper application, when I first started out). Applying after the interview was basically an afterthought.
The more time goes on with shady hiring agencies and clueless HR departments, and then the automated processing that was messing this up long before the AI slop, the more it seems we’re heading back towards paper resumes and in-person first-contact.
Then there’s the fact there were always people you could pay to polish your resume. In that regard, AI has kind-of levelled the playing-field for job-hunters.
- Comment on Your CV is not fit for the 21st century 3 weeks ago:
If a company is “evaluating” resumes by SEO standards, or with over-reliance on algorhythms/AI, I would rather not work for them in the first place.
- Comment on The AI age is the "age of no consent" 5 weeks ago:
All the tech-bro stuff in the late ninetees was proclaiming this future, that the only way to make a living would be as a creative/producer(ideally, free-lance, so they said), and that the only ways to have freedom would be through open-source and self-authored software.
That last the is real reason it will always be useful to learn to code, until they take that freedom, too, away from us.
- Comment on Anon is unaware he's at risk for a heart attack 5 weeks ago:
We need a rule against shit that’s just straight-up sad, even if it is “fake & gay”. I guess I would settle for an incest flag, because I’m also not reading any of that by choice.
- Comment on Meta pirated and seeded porn for years to train AI, lawsuit says 5 weeks ago:
They are escalating the seeding of porn to the willful distribution of porn to children. The fact its a corporation doing the seeding just makes for an easy target for such escalation.
- Comment on Meta pirated and seeded porn for years to train AI, lawsuit says 5 weeks ago:
Top notch journalism. Even today, the “legit” sites either have an “I am over 18” button at best, and in general they just block users from states with more stringent requirements. Are we really supposed to hate seeders, just because arstechnica says so?
- Comment on Anon wants robux 1 month ago:
My youngest son has a story just like this, but he would have been a toddler without anything to play Roblox on in that time-frame.
Damn, I wish he liked anything like beetles or stamps or whatever, even half as much as he likes the most disappointing sorts of video games, and no, I don’t mean trash games, I mean abandonware of the RFID/janky-peripherals variety.

Thank you for setting me straight on this.
- Comment on YouTube Forces Dubs Now 1 month ago:
Because I regularly reference, purge ads/trash-vids from, and occassionally search my watch history anyways. Also, selecting which watchlist to save to is an additional step of going through menus when I can just open a video and then hit the Back button. Although that’s kind-of an after-the-fact justification, as I don’t really recall how or when I fell into this habit.
- Comment on Anon is not satisfied 1 month ago:
I mean, trans-lesbianism is right there … OP could be doing all of this, with “just good friends”!!
- Comment on YouTube Forces Dubs Now 1 month ago:
Sadly, I use my watch-history as a bit of a que. Watch a second of a few different vids that catch my interest before the feed refreshes and buries them. Once I’ve saved a dozen like so, go back and watch them, or download for offline viewing.

Don’t worry, I’m not seeing the option in the native app either. Gross.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 1 month ago:
Get this straight: Private Messaging and e-mail are not Social Media in the context of this law, and neither are phone calls or texts. Give me an hour, and I can download enough pages of whatever I like to keep me busy for a week.
Seeking validation from strangers in real-time is bad for your mental health. Yes, even for the home-bound. That said, your argument would probably win-out in court, so there would have to be exceptions. “Adult” is still too broad of an exception on its own IMHO.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 1 month ago:
The internet was better before ignorant takes like yours showed up. Facebook, tik-tok, and the like invented nothing that wasn’t done better previously. Are you really so addicted to all this Web 2.0 non-sense? Of course you are. Get help.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 1 month ago:
What in god’s green earth about limitting social media usage on a daily time-us basis implies anything about targetting marginalized groups? Things that are detrimental to mental health, like excessive social media consumption, aren’t magically less-so for marginalized groups.
If anything, such media is a distraction and pacifier of sorts.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 1 month ago:
If you read what I wrote, open source social media is also easier to consume and interact with in the manner I described. Usenet, e-mail, IRC, forums, even private messaging and group-chats are all both healthier to interact with and less demanding of our time than “services” that bury the content we want to see like facebook and the rest.
Every single on is still around and in use by the same people who built the internet and others who get more done for themselves and open-source projects than you or I or most of us on Lemmy and the more modern de-federated schemes.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 1 month ago:
Even if they somehow limit time spent on forums, mastodon, whatever, content can be saved for later consumption, and responses composed for later posting. Instant access to the latest tweet or tiktok isn’t helping anyone but advertisers.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 1 month ago:
Limitting time is nothing like limitting speech. If I want to write a lengthy post, I can write it off-line, copy-and-paste without wasting quota time or whatever. Same goes for reading lengthy content; Copy/Paste(or print2pdf) and save for later.
Missing the latest short-form content garbage would be a boon for those who otherwise insist on wasting their time, mental and emotional energy like so.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 1 month ago:
Might as well call peak usage rates for electricity “fashy shit”. Excessive social media usage helps no-one.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 1 month ago:
Worst thing about this is it stops at “non-adults”, and puts the burden in individual services(which would be un-workable, yes) rather than ISPs(which have the means). God forbid we do anything to help society as a whole.

I don’t disagree with your assessment per se, but ethics-wise I’m liking Chad, or anywhere else that actively takes in large numbers of immigrants/refugees.

I didn’t come here to criticize most countries like so, but when you hit the nail on the head like that …
