Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • is there anyway I could be more disruptive to the business model?

    By not using the platform. You think you're being clever but all you're doing is making them more money.

  • What piece(s) of pop media have you not consumed that people would think you weird for not having consumed yet?

    Jump

  • I forced myself to watch it because everyone said it was so good - it wasn't. It just never got any better. There was good scenes in it but as a whole it was boring as hell.

  • I watch like one or two movies a year and very few TV series. I've been watching Dexter - Original Sin now, the previous one I watched was Dexter - New Blood and few years back I watched the first season of The Last of Us but I didn't like it so I never continued with the season two. Before that I watched the Chernobyl mini series and before that Game of Thrones. Suffice to say that you can pretty much name any modern TV serie and I haven't seen it. I've never had Netflix or any other streaming service subscription.

    I also don't listen to radio or have Spotify so I have no clue what the popular songs currently are and ChatGPT is the only app on my phone that's somewhat new. No games, no social media - nothing. I do occasionally play DayZ on my PC but that's a 10 year old game as well. I might very well be the most ignorant person when it comes to popular culture that you'll meet all year.

  • Throughout human history, there’s always been a lack of information. Then, somewhere around 2005, there was this brief moment where we had the perfect amount - and ever since, it’s been far too much.

  • Seems like the kind of post I'd expect your average showerthought-enjoyer to not mind seeing on their feed.

    EDIT: I'm up for philosophical thoughts community though

    Stupid people aren't stupid necessarily because they don't know much, they're usually stupid because they like to assume things

    Jump

  • In my view stupidity is about how one thinks, not what they know.

    My Honest Opinion

    Jump

  • Agreed. Lets apply that to politics too while we're at it.

  • High outlets

    Jump

  • I'm a general contractor and I hate that I can't do even the most basic electrical installations. Something like connecting the light for bathroom mirror. I could do it in two minutes for no extra cost to the customer, but now I need to call in a sparky instead and have them charge the customer 60 euros for doing the exact same thing I would have done. I simply just can't risk it because if something happens the insurance wont cover any of it and it's all on me. Makes me feel so stupid to tell the customer that I can't do something this basic.

  • Well obviously lemmygrad, hexbear and lemmy.ml but besides these usual suspects I find that the most negative encounters I've had with people from blahaj.zone and infosec.pub

  • I'm counting on reaching longetivity escape velocity and never dying. I'm only half-kidding.

  • Is there a way to have a less depressing Lemmy experience?

    Jump

  • This is why Lemmy will never become popular with the mainstream untill these people get their shit together. No sane person wants to browse a feed like mine despite the great lenghts I go attempting to block all politics and rage bait. I can only imagine how bad it is for someone just following the most popular communities and expecting a feed similar to that of Reddit.

    If you don't want to leave then I think the second best option is to keep calling out these users poisoning the platform. Just be aware that there is going to be a lot hate coming your way then. This place is filled to the brim with extremists.

  • How do you get through the winter?

    Jump

  • For the most part I keep doing the same things while enjoying it less. Obviously I go outside less but I still do. I gear up, hop onto my bike and ride into the pitch black forrest only to realise this kind of sucks and then I just do a short trip and come back home. Then I forget that it wasn't that fun and do the same thing again tomorrow.

  • Non americans of lemmy, would you support a ban on american social media on your country?

    Jump

  • Absolutely not. I'll rather choose for myself which content I consume than have the government choose it for me.

  • If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it could follow several different characters including some that had been prepairing for it as well as ones that hadn't and give an realistic representation of the things that really matter. Though I stopped watching the Last of Us, I really liked the basebuilding in the episode with Nick Offerman. I could watch multiple seasons of just that too.

    Jump

  • I can't off the top of my mind think of a movie exactly like that, but many Finnish movies have a similar summery vibe to it. Admittedly I have never played that game but I'm somewhat familiar with it.

    Jump

  • Personally I'd love to recreate The Walking Dead but I'd want it made much more realistic, slow paced and with less pointless action scenes. I'd want the zombies being the only unrealistic thing on the entire show. It would focus much more on the survival aspect of the zombie apocalypse. It would show things like loot-runs and base building in much greater detail. Instead of the flashy highlights it would be more about the mundane life in the apocalypse. There would be entire episodes where "nothing" happens.

    I imagine it would be an extremely boring show for the vast majority of people, but the tiny niche audience of zombie fanatics like myself would absolutely love it. I'd let other people watch it for free (because why not) but it would be made entirely according to my personal preferences with no regard for how it would be received by others.

  • Is it weird that I have to resort the idea of "Determinism" to be able to move on?

    Jump

  • Explanation is not excuse. It doesn't matter wether they did a bad thing because they wanted to or their genes compelled them do. The outcome is still the same.

    However, that doesn't make it a bad idea. Accepting the fact that we live in a deterministic universe entirely dismantles the foundation from emotions like hate and replaces it with compassion. I don't like every person I meet but I don't hate anyone nor I blame anyone for what they are - they didn't have a say in it.

  • In summary: one of the videos was daughter swapping porn and OP was her daughter. The comments were basically demanding OP to be traumatized by it and her dad to be canceled, but OP seemed to just find it amusing and was more or less unaffected by it.
