A person being a bellend on the internet is worth a blog post? I have been called worse than the opposite gender in online gaming chats.

You can 'throw' what you can afford and it will feel as satisfying. Just try it.

In what paradise do you live in? On average, people are equally unhappy. Why do you think there’s a saying that ‘money doesn’t buy happiness’? You could be rich, you could be poor, you could be healthy, you could be a cripple, you’ll still

This is the type of comment that I expect to read on ‘looksmaxxing’ forums, where impressible young males are taught how to live life in very mechanical terms by sociopaths. There are better ways to stimulate your adrenaline and stress resp

I have no way to prove this, and likely you don’t either, but it’s likely it is affecting you but you are simply not aware of it.

Why do you feel so threatened that a person is ‘not impressed’ with a thing? Is it a moral fault to have doubts and concerns now? ‘Quick! Get him! We have found a skeptic ’ - sounds like a cult to me.

I’ve heard ‘the hyperbole is insane’ since 9/11 and this is what the world looks like today. Don’t try to sane wash yet another attempt at expanding the extent of mass surveillance, despite how silly it might seem on paper.

Is Priti Patel still running the Home Office? I honestly couldn’t tell the difference in policies between BoJo and Starmer. What do you prefer, authoritarianism in red, authoritarianism in blue, or a Nigel the Trump bootlicker? At this poin

I was about to write a positive comment, then you mention how you perpetuate the AI machine just like everyone else, but with massive dose of self-righteousness on top. Such is the tragedy of the world. Everyone claims they have strong mora

Well, I know I will actively avoid the brand now. Perhaps when they see the declining sales due to bad design, marketing will suggest to add even more lights and useless features. The cycle of enshittification.
