  • All media consumed supplants the ordinary brain function.

  • I think I don't like war. Period.

    I can realistically understand the reasons given for it, but that's never going to make me like it.

  • That same problem still exists even when sorting by upvotes, because the earlier a comment is posted the more people will see and be able to vote on it, pushing it higher.

  • Laws aren't enough for something of this magnitude. The general population needs to grow to match the much greater challenges presented by modern technology, or we're going to descend into another dark age until we do learn how to behave.

  • Yes. We definitely do not want people like Joe mixing with polite society.

  • If those guys had hobbies, China would be an unstoppable juggernaut.

  • I've had arguments with people in simple little games, where the points barely matter at all, because some people get upset if others don't play for pure efficiency.

  • Perhaps all the above could be summed up by “Capitalist Greed”…??? 🤡 🖕

    No. It can't. And you're actively hurting your efforts by attaching high school edgelord bullshit to it.

    Corruption has been a serious problem everywhere, forever, and does not care one bit what words the ruling party uses to express themselves. None of what is happening right now is restricted to nations which call themselves capitalist.

    They've been known to literally lock people in their factories, and even put up suicide nets to prevent slaves from killing themselves.

    Have you ever found yourself using someone else's PC for some reason and they've got 20 browser toolbars, 3 anti-viruses and no ad blocker, and they've just been using computers that way forever, thinking it's perfectly normal?

    Yea, some people have extremely low standards.

  • Was Magic Mike just a flash in the pan?

    Humans know what humans are like, so this shit falls on deaf ears among the general population because it's so obviously wrong. The problem is when kids who are still trying to sort out up and down get exposed to it, as I did when I was younger, and end up buying into rubbish ideas like believing that it's totally okay to ignore your physical health. Thing is, I'm strongly predisposed to having a strong physique, and while I've learned that I should personally embrace that and work hard on my body, I spent a lot of younger years working directly against my own self because the media had convinced me to shun traditional beauty standards.

  • “Almost overnight, the school fees went up from £55,000 per year to £70,000. The increase was shocking, but not entirely unexpected,” Moy says. “Ultimately, I believe, the education provided and the sacrifices we will have to make are worth it.”

    So they readily admit it's a fair price, but still felt the need to complain to the media?
