I don't follow the olympics but if they do competitive masturbation then definitely that.

Not the person you're asking but he's the only content creator on YouTube that I've ever blocked from my recommendations despite following a ton of channels like his such as Cleetus McFarland, HeavyDSparks, Grind Hard Plumbing etc.

I simply don't like the vibes I get from him as a person. I can't point out to any specific thing, it's just my intuition. He doesn't seem like a genuine person but instead is just putting up a show for views. Probably reminds me of someone else I don't like - or myself.

Dad buying their underage daughter a dildo sounds like a good way to get canceled. Or worse.

I don't think it's a bad idea per-se but I can imagine a ton of ways how that could backfire.

EDIT: Yeah I misread that

I've wondered the same thing about wasps. Just don't grab them into your fist and they'll leave you alone.

You're not using provocative phrasing; you're redefining the meaning of words to align with your personal worldview. I've been there and done that. My entire sexuality has been nothing but a rollercoaster for several decades, but at no point has it led me to deny scientific facts. You can deny biological differences all you want, but that will only lead to you butting heads with the harsh reality of the world for the rest of your life.

Then I understood that “male” and “female” are not so much biological facts than a state of mind.

That's the strangest statement I've heard in a long time. If we're talking about gender identity, then perhaps there's some truth to it, but denying the existence of biological sex and the differences between men and women is akin to flat-earth level science denial.

No such thing even exists that there isn't any of at the internet.

I had to google what that even means.

I'm more or less unaffected by it. This sort of opinions only matter to me when it's coming from someone whose opinion has some value to me. The views of a random internet user are practically meaningless to me. Any hateful or idiotic comment directed at me or anyone else just gets the user blocked and I move on. Offence is taken, not given.

It's pretty much common knowledge but I don't remember anyone ever bringing it up unless it's relevant to the topic at hand.

It's because the word has entirely different meaning now than it did back then. The vast majority of people would struggle to name even one literal nazi that's still alive today. Instead we incorrectly use that term to describe people we don't like such as Trump and Elon.

Yeah I agree. That's what I would've done. You saying that wealth is wasted just made it sound like the money dissapeared somehow. He wasted his chance on financial independence, sure, but that's not away from the rest of us.

It's obviously a negative feeling in my view. It can be used as motivation for changing things to the better but I can't see it as anything else as negative. It's not a pleasant feeling.

Ofcourse I'm not immune to it myself either but being such a strong emotion it's nearly impossible to not notice and thus it acts as a kind of mindfulness alarm. When I catch myself getting angry at something I immediately realize how that is in conflict with how I see the world and then the anger basically dissapears. It's kind of like waking up at the morning and being irritated that it's raining outside but then at the same moment realizing that I can't change the weather and I'll rather just be wet than wet and angry. It's the so called second arrow.

Unlike weather I can affect other people however, and I do. No disagreement there. I simply just don't see the need to feel anger while doing so. It's done and can't be undone. They couldn't have done otherwise so no need to get angry and pretend as if they could have. My intention is to encourage them to not act that way in the future.

Yeah I confronted a friend for throwing one onto my lawn and they didn't seem to get why it was such a big deal for me. He clearly thinks nothing of it. In the army we were always told to bury them. It's not a perfect solution either but so much better than just tossing it.

I don't believe in free will or the self. To me, there's effectively no-one for me to be judgemental of. Wether it be littering, racism or violence, these people didn't choose to act this way, they just do and couldn't have done otherwise. If I was them, I'd be doing the exact same thing.

I'm just as non-accepting of their behaviour as everybody else. In my case there's just little to none negative emotions involved in it. Me getting angry about someone littering, to me, is the same as getting angry at the weather.

And yes, I agree. If I were a smoker I wouldn't want to throw cigarette butts in the ground either for the same reason you just mentioned. My point was that I have theory of mind for such people. I can imagine how someone could naively imagine there's no harm to it. This just no longer holds true when we're talking about trash that's bigger; I can't imagine what they could be thinking.

you can understand violence and racism, but not littering?

Yeah. I can imagine what a racist would say if I confronted them about it. They always have a reason for thinking that way and to them that reason seems valid. I can't imagine what such justification a litterbug would have other than "I just don't give a shit" so in other words; they know they're in the wrong and simply don't care.

no trash recepticals being available

This is somewhat understandable if it's something dirty like a meat packaging dripping with marinade that you don't want to put in your bag but it almost never is. It's a bottle, candy wrappings, juice container, chip bag etc. It was assumeably filled with something when they brought it in but they somehow can't take it back now that it's empty and thus lighter and packs into smaller space. This doesn't make any sense to me.

What's the problem? They put the money back into circulation. That's a good thing, no?

But how do we hate-follow Elon then? We need our daily dose of outrage after all.

Depends what counts as a negative comment. I tend to swim upstream so the things I say often aren't popular but I only say what I believe to be true. Why people who for example don't like Elon Musk, keep posting about him and then circlejerking with all the other haters is beyond me.
