If you were working tech support of course you’re going to interact with more “tech illiterate” people. That doesn’t mean the “most people” are tech illiterate, you were just dealing with a high volume of them, giving that impression.

Yes, that is generally how rom coms work
Yeah, if you ignore the massive price difference and the fact that they need to be replaced periodically because rechargeable batteries usually only last a few years at most.
In what context where both are available are emoticons objectively better?
They’re objectively not.
You’re missing the point entirely. The person I was originally responding too was saying that evan though awful things were done to people it’s fine, or justifiable because “millions” benefited from them. If you don’t understand how something like that at its base level can be applicable to modern times, that’s a you issue.
It’s not the specific actions taken or the setting/environment, but the attitude of the ends justifying the means if there’s a net positive.
Oops, got my wires crossed with who I was talking about. But my point still stands.
You can have any opinion that you want, I haven’t said that you couldn’t. I was disagreeing with your opinion and expressing my own, you wombat. That’s how discussion works.
I bet you think you’re taking some sort high road to the effect of “oh I just state the facts, I’m not telling anyone what to think,” while conveniently ignoring the part where the way that you report these facts, or which ones you leave out can very much influence the conclusions people reach.
You stated that Alexander killed many people, but also his actions benefitted millions of people. These two things put together in the way that you did will lead an uninformed person to he conclusion that it’s fine that he killed people because it benefited many others. And maybe that could be true in some contexts, but you completely failed to mention the fact that he didn’t just kill a bunch of people, he executed defeated peoples and sold a whole bunch of people into slavery, which would naturally influence the conclusions a person could come to.
Yes, and? Have you not gotten to the part in your schooling where you look at history to see what can be learnt from it?
So the ends justify the means? Inflicting untold suffering on one group of people is fine if it benefits another one?
I don’t know. I don’t think that’s something to be left for an email.
That’s a fair reaction to the state tbh
Jokes are supposed to be funny?
New Zealand isn’t a part of Australia?
What the fuck
Nah, screw that. I’m here for pointless petty arguments.
For someone who calls Christians hate-mongering, you’re pretty hateful yourself.
What you’re describing is still toxic masculinity and has absolutely nothing to do with toxic femininity. Men that have been hurt by their previous partners or ridiculed for being emotional, is toxic masculinity. This is because men are discouraged from expressing their emotions or seeking support, reinforcing the harmful stereotype that vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Men get hurt by women doing this because of the toxic view many men and women carry about masculinity and male gender roles.
Toxic femininity on the other hand, is a societal expectation placed on women to conform to traditional gender roles and stereotypes, like being passive, nurturing, and submissive.
Yes. And the reason for that is toxic masculinity. That’s the point they were making. They were explaining the why, not the what.
You came across many very dumb people, therefore most people are dumb. Seems logical. I work with thousands of meat workers, therefore most people must be meat workers. Your experience is more or less selection bias.
