Hear, hear! I miss the days when trolling used to mean piss take. If someone is trolling, troll them back!
Somehow people forgot to give other the people this memo, including the “you don’t fucking join social networks as your self”. Anonymity makes this all work.
I do get into political debates, but I don’t overshare my real info and I certainly don’t ban anyone for disagreeing with me. I find it cringe if anyone bans someone for disagreement to maintain “mental health”. Unless someone is stalking or making a calculated harrasment on the person online, sure ban or report the troll, but banning someone because the person does not have a good response shows pettiness.

Are we now doing phrenology, Father?

I have kind of arrived to the same conclusion. If people asked me what is love, I would say it is a religion.
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 1 week ago:
It has been a long time since I watched Her, but my takeaway from the movie is that because making real life connection is difficult, people have come to rely on AI which had shown to be more empathetic and probably more reliable than an actual human being. I think what many people don’t realise as to why many are single, is because those people afraid of making connections with another person again.

Zuckerburg and Facebook enable lies to spread because that’s how he makes money.

Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos-- you can tell they are insecure. They became rich and powerful and now want to stomp on people.

But people don’t experience attraction before puberty, right? How do they know what groups of people they’ll grow up to be attracted to?
Well, we all have crushes when we were kids, don’t you agree?
- Comment on Whenever a beast is shown on screen 1 week ago:
And predators in movies waste so much energy chasing one miniscule prey, which yield insignificant amount of calories, for hours if not days. Ladies and gentlemen, Hollywood may have just discovered the first known example of an animal that exhibit autism.

I’d put in a gym set.

I would just have a gym set.

Self-deprecation. Reddit loves to make such post. But I’d say this is going on since time immemorial.
- Comment on Found Lily and Mitch 1 week ago:
Plenty of kids already know if they are gay or not. In my home country, I have had classmates in elementary school who are openly gay. Some cultures find it awkward to talk about it to children, whereas in some, tolerance and acceptance to lgbt is part of culture. I probably don’t need to mention about the concept and existence of third genders since the ancient times.
- Comment on The fact that even 3D games are old now blows my mind on a regular basis. 1 week ago:
Shut up. It is only ten years ago.
- Comment on Just a pic of two besties 1 week ago:
Now that I think about it, is she happy? Is she traumatised? Is she regretting? Is she laughing at the absurdity of it all?

- Comment on Ubisoft patch Splinter Cell Blacklist after 12 years to add achievements 1 week ago:
I heard Assassin’s Creed Shadows is decent if not good. But overall, it looks like AC Origins is the last properly good Ubisoft game.
- Comment on Thank you guys for the advice last post. I found a tech support job now. One step closer to leaving homelessness 1 week ago:
While being grateful remember this job is part of who you are but it does not define you.
Great advice. I know many people who let jobs define them and let it be their life.
- Comment on Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones 2 weeks ago:
That’s why i always forbid access to my microphones by apps. Many AI apps will also remember what you discussed long ago.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 2 weeks ago:
Depending where you are, there are tax benefits to legally married couples.
If cost is an issue, you can have cheap wedding. But I think the concern is more cultural in which there is an implicit expectation to have a grandiose wedding, like in a church and have a huge gathering and party with dozens if not hundreds of attendees.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 2 weeks ago:
You are quite right. There is a tribe in East Africa which makes a hole on their lower lip and place a huge disk into it. It is theorised that the practice started to prevent lockjaw disease that may have been prevalent in the area eons ago. I am not sure how this prevents lockjaw but maybe for them it works.
- Comment on This is real 3 weeks ago:
They know, that’s why the oligarchs will prop another one.
I am of the opinion that Trump is a pazi should shit hits the fan. The billionaires-- the true rulers-- will be scot free if the American people decide to rise up.

- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 4 weeks ago:
In my case, autocowreck is the main reason for incorrect spelling and grammar.
- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 4 weeks ago:
As a guy, I do recognise that men are disadvantaged in many areas and need to be put on equal footing with women-- like courts disproportionately award custody of children to mothers, regardless of how unfit the mother is to be a caregiver. But broadly speaking from my pespective, women are still at more disadvantage. I used to live in a bad part of my city for many years and have had little to no issues. However, it is a different story from women I spoke who got harrased, and another hit on the head. They said they will avoid going to the city ever again. I remember sharing the accounts of these women to other men, and the men were surprised because their experience is the complete opposite. Women are still seen as weak. And in the corporate hierarchy, men (of tall statures) disproportionately make up the board of directors and executive roles.
- Comment on Full Circle 4 weeks ago:
I will be honest, I thought that Trump will continue with his fascist-adjacent/fascist-lite policies from his first term. Looks like in this term, he is out for vengeance and doubled down!
- Comment on Full Circle 4 weeks ago:
I always see xenophobia and racism as different level in the same category. Like, the former is “milder” and something as I, as an immigrant, could overlook. The latter is far more hateful and intolerant.
- Comment on Full Circle 4 weeks ago:
The far-right in Europe seems to have lost momentum a bit-- for now. The far-right parties in government in Sweden and Netherlands proved themselves incompetent and lost support. The support on German AfD stagnated. Meloni has shown to be more moderate than expected (well, not quite but that’s a long story). And Le Pen has been prosecuted, but I think this is not enough to actually kill the French far-right movement so long as the French government still practice neoliberal policies. But I think the major factor that made Europeans think twice now about gravitating towards fascism is after witnessing the shit show in America and Musk’s overt election interference in Europe. I should not be laughing, but what a laugh the three months of Trump administration has been!

Okay fascist.
- Comment on Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever 4 weeks ago:
That’s the beauty of having a platform where your engagement does not matter because there are no advertisers to woo.
On the one hand, this could dishearten moderators and admins if there are fewer engagements and traffic in the community.
