Not entirely surprising considering their openly misogynistic views.

Shame so many people use him as a role model, he’s very dangerous.

It’s much easier for people to mock and ridicule than to educate and correct.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t call out poor behavior but the way we do so should be constructive as to not breed further resentment. This goes for most everything too, not just for the issue in the OP.

This is just a small part of creating a world that you want to live in. We can’t shut out the world or those we disapprove of, but we can contribute to the betterment of others, making the world a place we’re more more comfortable with sharing.

Probably doesn’t need to be said but memes aside I appreciate you being nice to them. I always feel incredibly bad for the people working in that industry.

It genuinely feels like western countries are content to allow the war to drag out for the sake of sacrificing Ukraine to destroy Russia’s population. We should be allowing them to aggressively push into Russia, taking the fight off their own territory and moving the war towards a faster conclusion.

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

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.

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.

Meanwhile next door Iraq is attempting to lower the marriage age to 9.

Yeah fuck religion.

There are lawyers that operate through contingency fees but you would have to be very foolish to immediately do so as a solo practitioner. Usually a firm will handle the risk but the firm also isn’t letting inexperienced attorneys handle those cases due to the risky nature of them.

The legal jobs that are at the bottom of the paygrade are usually government. Prosecution, public defense, administrative. A lot of those jobs have loan forgiveness plans and the usual government job benefits but the pay is a bit down there even compared to what you would get as a first year associate in some firms.

I’m not complaining. Only way I’d be happier with his VP pick is if he took up Rubio and forced him to give up Florida.

Vance is also a snake and he’ll backstab the orange man at some point most likely.

Yeah, I just snip the tips on the front ones usually. I’ve been doing it since he was little and while he doesn’t appreciate it he has never fought or clawed me in the process of it.

Just be skeptical about it from both perspectives.

Bad actors do exist but they’re not to blame for everything despite almost any organization or movement these days attempting to scapegoat any poor publicity they experience as bad actors.

Going into any passionate community and dissenting for the purpose of dissenting is outright flamebait and nothing more.

You mean hope that they too don’t become subject to enshittification? I don’t have a lot of faith in that.

Besides that, Google is controlling as fuck. They might keep fucking themselves over but there’s no way they won’t start attempting to ruin things for the rest of us.

Can we not act like this?

If someone is misinformed then you educate and correct them, not mock them. Especially when the person in question is clearly open minded and willing to learn.

Reddit could always be aggressive, and if you search up the OP it looks like they went into a passionate community and stirred it up.

They didn’t deserve this level of vitriol or the lack of elucidation though. That’s definitely gotten worse over time. Part of why I left was how aggressively immature it had become, to the point where you couldn’t have normal conversations there anymore.

The irony of men not understanding why women would choose the bear is insane.

Last I checked men killed other men just as much. Ask yourself the same question, and empathize a little bit.

Fuck that. Eat the rich, eat the rich!

It’ll happen eventually surely? You can’t keep standing down from them. They will continue to take more and more if you do. At some point you will have to tell Russia no much more firmly and risk a confrontation or nuclear war. It’s inevitable.
