I wish I could say this instead of having to schedule my vacation time a month in advance.

Damn, I used to watch GB growing up and he was one of my favorites. Loved how even when he was getting his ass kicked on the field you could still see the guy smiling as he lined up for another play.

Fuck man why did you have to do this?

I’m sorry that happened to you but I appreciate you warning people of the dangers of being confrontational with these people.

It’s not worth it. You won’t change their mind, people nearby aren’t going to clap for you, you’re just unnecessarily putting yourself in harms way because many of these people are not kind, they will respond aggressively.

People really just weren’t ready for social media or having miniature computer-cameras at their disposal constantly.

If your child is having a meltdown of throwing a tantrum then you as a parent have a job to be doing. Put the phone back in your pocket or your purse and attend to your kid. Figure out what the problem is, do what you need to do to calm them down and consider that maybe if this is a frequent occurrence that perhaps you as a parent fucked up somewhere and you’re going to have to be responsible by working to correct whatever mistakes you made that brought this bad habit into existence.

I wouldn’t say it’s the platform’s fault or consider it misuse of those experiencing that.

We should be using online spaces and platforms to engage with one another. We could use these to reach out to each other across the world for a variety of positive purposes. It’s just unfortunate that most platforms are filled with hate and a lot of people out there would rather have negative experiences and some engagement, than no engagement at all.

Obviously that’s not exactly healthy but that’s how some people seem to be. I also question how healthy society would be if we all eventually ended up in the position of refusing online interaction for this reason.

Tbf it’s rare to see normal people posting on social media in 2024, at least everyone I see is fucked up in some way.

This might be a bold assumption on my part but I would say most normal people do not have the energy for the craziness that occurs on a lot of socials now.

You want to engage and be a part of the community but it’s just far too exhausting in many cases. Easier to just browse most of the time.

Yeah. I suspect many of us knew her stance on this issue before she said it but she really did not need to say it.

I appreciate the honesty but I do wish that she would avoid this one topic in particular. This is an issue that younger voters feel very strongly about. Younger voter turnout may not be good anyways, but I would really do my best to avoid upsetting that crowd. We’re not trying to make people go back to feeling apathetic regarding the election again.

I really don’t think that this was necessary.

From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke,

Ah so that’s the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.

The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.

And yes, out of context I thought it was a bit extreme. I don’t necessarily agree with what the first person in the image said although that’s a complex topic that deserves a much lengthier discussion, but just randomly having someone tell them that they’re a creep who deserves to be tased is fairly extreme without any additional context. Keep in mind, I have no idea who the individual is or what they’ve done.

YouTube: Has ads and sells your data like every other online service

Also YouTube: Doesn’t pay creators much to the point where creators often have in-video advertisements but expects audiences on the platform to pay for an adless experience

Make sure to beg dispatchers not to send the cops apparently.

There are merits for it and against it. My biggest concerns would be privacy regarding data scrapers .

Regarding poor behavior, I really think that ultimately comes down to moderation on the platform. I’ve only had a few poor experiences but I am also someone who sometimes sees certain threads as dumpster fires and refrains from joining in or refrains from responding when I feel there isn’t any form of discussion or chatter to be had. I can understand that it likely happens more often than not but I also believe that moderation is the only reasonable way of curbing it. Moderation teams have to make it clear that the behavior is not welcome and that it will be dealt with.

4 years and one canceled marriage 3 months prior. 5 if you count the fact that I took her back twice before realizing she was always going to be like that.

I feel you even if I wouldn’t say I’m entirely happy.

Someone leaked their discord and there were a lot of instances of them discussing grooming as an avenue to creating their “perfect high value male” or whatever they called it.

Would’ve thought FDS had been shut down by now after the grooming scandal.

Thank you. This really is just asking to pour gasoline on the fire.

I don’t think this is something that will benefit us in the long term, regardless of how funny it is right now.

I hate how true this is.

What’s worse is that many of the people who didn’t fall into that trap have been waiting to responsibly have children later, which I also don’t want. Finding anyone down here that is interested in being child free down here is a challenge and finding someone who doesn’t expect to have a busy life to make up for it is even more difficult.

Walz is a great guy all around and it’s really motivating as a voter to see him up there.

Not only is he a fantastic politician in regards to how he interacts with his constituents but he’s incredibly liberal in regards to our countries politics. I feel like he’s going to be a huge turning point for a lot of people, changing voting from “Can’t let Trump get in” to “Maybe this country can actually improve.”

It’s a shitposting meme. The poster has this pinned on their twitter:

That said… I have heard horror stories about poor theater staff finding cucumbers after the 50 shades premiere. Some of it was just people memeing and trying to prank but I’m not entirely sure about all of it.
