  • Is it normal that I feel pretty bad for ignoring homeless people begging for help? How do others ignore them without feeling bad?

    Jump

  • i literally never use cash and i'm uncomfortable around strangers. i do at least think there should be a proper social safety net and no one should be there rather than blaming them directly

  • Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years?

    Jump

  • definitely. i'm usually dreading the part right after opening gifts. -- the whole day feels stagnant and dead, everything is shut, there's nothing to do but wait for how shitty jan and feb will be. brutal dead awful months

  • european stereotypes

    Jump

  • fuck why can't i live in europe. almost every day i have the opposite experience where a well meaning midwest person tries to be friendly and my brain just...stalls and does something like this

  • Isn’t the use of strict behaviorism to explain animals kind of obnoxious?

    Jump

  • this is a great post, thank you.

    We may never find out. If mollusks do experience emotions, there’s a chance their emotions are nothing like ours. We explain emotional responses through happiness, fear, anger and all that stuff, but who says other animals feel the same? Perhaps sea creatures have an emotional spectrum comprised of degrencre, humber, nage, and dorcelessness, but we’ll never be able to understand those, let alone recognise them when animals express them.

    this is exactly what i mean -- isn't it just so much more interesting and hopeful and meaningful to think about it this way than immediately drawing the line and saying shit like "we cannot just run around and play pretend because it makes us feel cozy." or "To suggest that a mollusc has an ‘inner life’ is unscientific and goes against our current understanding of living organisms."

    we've developed this consensus at 2023 AD after thousands and thousands of years of complex evolution -- clearly we are at the zenith! we have no more to learn!

  • one of the few upsides of gig jobs is that you aren't generally bound by the traditional grind like this - if you're feeling bad on a monday, you can take that day off; if you're bored on a sunday you can work, etc etc. i genuinely don't think i could handle the 9-5 M-F rote button down shit without having a psychic break after 2 months

  • People who post content because it makes you angry : why do you help it spread?

    Jump

  • so people can tee off it, because shitty bad viewpoints are easy to argue against, and the more people that see the rebuttals, the better

  • YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button

    Jump

  • i miss when people who made websites genuinely wanted what's best for their users

  • Why is it apparently cool and fine for insurance companies to spend countless billions, trillions of our money constantly buying ad time?

    Jump

  • i absolutely disagree. the way insurance works is you all pay into it and they use that money for claims. it's literally our money.

  • Plex Discover Together shares a bit too much. ...

    Jump

  • why are you defending them? sure, they're allowed because they're a big company so they make the rules, but that doesn't mean you have to lick their boots and say oh actually that's fine you made the choice. even big companies SHOULD be ethical. we DESERVE ethical treatment, furthermore, even people who didn't wade through the terms.

  • Plex Discover Together shares a bit too much. ...

    Jump

  • Anyway, if the concern is that Plex, the company, has access to this data, then yeah, you probably should have read the privacy policy a little closer.

    come on, you know this is a non answer. also plex shouldn't have this data, it should be for the admin only.

  • Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

    Jump

  • do you think they're above doing that

  • Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice

    Jump

  • well good thing they're a professional company with professional engineers, glad they're taking the easy route

    i bought it because i was at the store and thought 'damn a bedroom tv would be nice' and it was black friday. it's only 32" i hope it fits on the table, and if not i can rig something up, but either way, god fucking dammit these new legs are terrible design because now i have to think about this instead of them just having a damn stand in the center like everyone used to

    was sort of what i was thinking

  • exactly, thank you. i love everyone blaming me for not reading the box -- i knew it would be this obnoxious, i was hoping the table was slightly wider.

    but most importantly, it is OBJECTIVELY awful design! i don't care if it's cheaper for them! i don't understand why everyone has some dumb snarky comment when 10+ years ago every flatscreen had a center mount and everything was fine!

  • genuinely remarkable how he gets more and more lame by the day. imagine having literal trillions of dollars, access to opportunities and experiences and pleasures we couldn't even begin to fathom, and instead sitting down and writing this fucking garbage that would make a middle schooler cringe
