I'm actually beginning to resent the overreliance on online interaction
It does have draw backs but also a lot of up side
Was thinking this morning about how isolated people are in meatspace these days
Sam Harris recent podcast talked about this. His guess argued that the rise in online only relationship is related to the increase in anexity and depression being seen more and more in society
I think it's a degenerative spiral
Online interaction is easy but doesn't meet the same needs as meatspace interaction. However meatspace interaction is much harder to disconnect from and harder to "bubble"
As people become more used to the sort of online "light switch" conversation, where you can just turn it on and off, and to the bubble, they get less capable of interacting meaningfully outside of that context, adding negative feedback to the purest source of positive social feedback
Soon all second wave will die!
Plus the play glorified pedophilia
As most of the things they do
anyone upset about the Bunnings Sausage sizzle kerfuffle?
I've never even thought about it cuz I don't get onions with a regular snag
I'm hearing a lot of high standards, but not a lot about what they bring to the table:

yeah, but I do think a lot of women are over valuing themselves
those faces... oof
There some data from dating site that show most women think they all deserve top 20% of men, but men just go after everyone.
I don't see lack of casual hookups as necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, though it may be symptomatic of other bad things
Its the source of change that's an issue not the symptom. If casual hookups were down because people were only having sex in committed relationships, than that would be good. In reality we've made a bunch of women delusional with the self esteem movement and damaged men for feminism.
A lot of the people quoted did it because they were prioritizing other shit, were paranoid about STDs or didn't want to casually fuck in general tbh
Huh, speaking of World of Darkness: https://www.white-wolf.com/newsblog/a-message-from-white-wolf
Apparently they got in trouble for portraying the treatment of gays in Chechnya as a plot point, saying that it was a scheme put in place by vampires in control of the place.
Seems like an odd take to me.
In the case of a civil war, who here believes that someone wouldn't go out of their way to slaughter like swine the government figure that openly advocated for nuking americans?
He'd be pretty high on the list. I would think
Sounds like something one of us would say tbh, should invite him to the server
Lol. It’s a stupid point though
not sure why it would be a big deal, it sounds like a joke (don't have time to check into it).
It sucks as a joke. ‘Give us your guns because safety or we’ll nuke you’. Really?
I can't even find the original statement in order to screen it for sarcasm haha
He got us good, thats for sure lol
Doesn’t even matter. It’s just stupid. I’m not offended; it just shows they have no argument.
I thought it was funny *shrugs*
Joke or not, it definitely doesn't come across as something a lawmaker in a tumultuous political sphere should be saying
