V.I. Lenin’s writings are historically significant and should be studied and understood from an academic perspective regardless of whether or not you agree with them.
Borderline personality disorder and Childhood-acquired Posttraumatic stress disorder are the same thing the only core difference is whether or not the resulting reactivity seems proportionate to the trauma from the clinicians perspective. This is more / less likely if the person has a more / less reactive underlying nervous system, but ultimately most of the judgment comes down to social perception of what’s a worse trauma vs what’s worse as a resulting negative behavior. If a “big” trauma makes you sad / withdrawn, you have PTSD vs if a “small” trauma makes you annoying / “difficult” you have borderline. (Am deffo borderline, personally. LOL)
Okay, here we go…
The term “larper”, more often than not, makes discourse worse
You’re pathetic and stupid for not being vegan.
…pathetic implies deserving of pity and stupid implies innocent ignorance…
Maybe if you’re sympathetic. Are you?
That one gets you hunted and eaten by human predators in certain parts of America.
Political violence is acceptable.
When the actions of a dictator or party directly worsen the lives of citizens, I believe it should be a legal right for the citizenry to execute those in power.
hot in general but definitely not on lemmy
I think cars should be outlawed in population centers with exceptions for product deliveries, mobility scooters and e-bikes. If you want your ikea furniture into your apartment you need to either fit it into a cargo bike setup or get it delivered by a company with a delivery license.
I hate cars
I hold that view quite publicly and have recieved minimal disagreement.
The vast majority of climate focused policy and arguments has nothing to do with climate change. A significant portion is lightly re themed malthusian arguments. Another significant portion is people wanting to change society to their preferred version.
Having worked in climate change policy for almost a decade, the problem is very real and every single big “solution” is a pro-petroleum shitshow.
Every single true believer willing to throw their whole lives at the problem are in denial about the political will being behind them and adamantly saying “If we make drastic changes today, we can still hold it to 1.0…1.5…2.0 C!” It’s fucking delusional. The denial about things like literally not being able to address obvious contradictions like a huge delegation going to the COP to just…be seen…? You don’t need 12 people flying to a business expense week-long extravaganza to complain about carbon footprints.
We are literally so cooked. Where’s the Kalshi bet on what year we have a BOE? My bet in 2029.
I’m not saying it isn’t a problem, I’m saying it’s been used as justification for things that have little to do with climate change.
what’s a BOE?
Blue Ocean Event, when the Arctic finally melts and there no summer ice.
I thought that had already happened several years ago
You guys are wimps. (Dog guy gets partial points though, people are psychotic about their dogs). Here’s an actual hot take:
Sex drive, while a strong biological impulse in most people, is nowhere NEAR as powerful or persuasive as we are conditioned to believe. Its almost entirely cultural and formed from Movies, Porn, Advertising and just about every other media artificially elevating it.
Everything, from lighter fare like niche fetish communities, to dark shit like rape, sexual violence and, in some cases misogynistic violence aimed just at women in general, is escalated and enabled by a mass permission structure where we all are just told, and to some extent believe, that Sex is SO powerful. Men become easily manipulated puppets to demonic seductresses. Sexuality can damage reasoning ability. Without sexual release men inevitably become violent brutes. A million other stupid, widely believed things. They have a kernel of truth obviously but they are exaggerated in the extreme, usually to excuse poor behavior by men who are trained from a young age that they not only can, but should turn into a drooling gorilla at the sight of tits.
The internet isnt horny. Men aremt primarily sex-driven. Its all an artificial cultural construct designed to promote bad behavior.
Think it one step further. Why are they trained to accept the ‘power’ of the libido? What do they get out of it? Answer: they get to satisfy, or at least titilate the libido.
It’s the old paradox of society and desire. Individuals want to feel good. Society cannot function if individuals only seek their own pleasure. How do you satisfy both goals? By twisting them both until they can suffice to get you through to tomorrow.
I wouldn’t be surprised if porn hub is a CIA ops targeting one minority or an other. They always seem to have their hand dipped in anything even remotely shady.
This is bait. I’m tired of these bait posts.
They’re bait posts because they’re preying on people to drop some really spicy unpopular opinion that nobody, even including the OP, will handle. It’ll create a scuffle, arguments and there will be calling for post removals and report wars will happen.
Also, it reeks of Reddit too, including to the last line.
Studying computer science coaches young people’s brains into only thinking in terms of binary reasoning, and is the reason so many tech bros are fascist. I think it’s actively harmful to people’s development, and should be kept away from children until they are emotionally mature.
I really can’t see how you draw a connection from digital technology using binary to binary thinking, and learning computer science has the exact opposite effect. It teaches you to be analytical and break down problems into workable solutions, approach things from multiple perspectives, searching for the most elegant solution, etc. Not to mention open source and the hacker philosophy, both antiethical to fascism.
People who study CS are usually strongly on the left. Techbros went to business school, not tech school.

People I’ve met or talked to online who are in cs tend to think/argue very linearly and in a utilitarian fashion. Which is great for solving issues where you know exactly what the problem is or have a direct goal, but if applied to social problems can be very destructive.

Also a minority of people working in tech.

Maybe in your country? In the US CS is pretty well known for being pretty full of centerist/ right wing sexist.
I’m in the US and all my friends in tech are socialists champing at the bit for a well organized general strike.
Maybe it’s because I live in a city?
One of the biggest issues in society is education, but it’s not limited to any one area. It’s fundamental to our language based systems. There is something fundamentally untranslatable and intransmissible about knowledge. It even goes beyond philosophical qualia. People innately classify chunks of reality and then are trained to classify them in even more complex ways, usually based on their affordances, but the possibility space contains near infinite variety we map into a finite, and in some cases extremely crude conceptual space. So much of social existence is based upon the recognition of distinctions that exist as sub-classes to the sub-classes to the sub-classes to the classes delineated so long ago they are part of the ideological foundations to the maps themselves.
Humans are not capable of comprehending the unintelligible infinity of reality at any age.
I’ll personally shun you. Programming by hand is an art form, there are infinite ways to solve the same problem and resilience, security and UX are all spectrums. Programming style is so unique that in a company of 10 people without a linter you can kinda tell who wrote what based on style alone.
Take an upvote, this is exactly what OP requested.
I don’t know if I would agree… Variety and uniqueness doesn’t equate to art. There’s an infinite amount of ways to write a medical note, and in a large office of providers I can tell who wrote them based on composition and style…that doesn’t make me an artist.
I work in medicine, and certain sects of our field have a similar issue. They promote pragmatic and utilitarian thinking, which when utilized within the field makes sense. The problem is when people utilize this kinda problem solving on social problems at a grand scale. I would have a similar problem with people learning how to do triage or surgery at the same age kids are getting into cs.
Alex Jones was partially correct, they are in fact turning the frogs gay, and this extends to people as well.
Specifically, endocrine disrupting chemicals, which are commonly used as plasticizers and flame retardants, disrupt your endocrine system. I.e. they fuck with your hormones.
Exposure to environmental stimuli, including such chemicals, can cause changes in sexual behavior and characteristics. This was the driving force of the plot of Jurassic Park.
This cannot be proven without seriously unethical human trials, but exposing a every other animal to EDCs during development can and does cause changes in sexual development.
Edit: other pollutants are causing societal effects as well, there was a study on crawfish out of NC a while back that found significant behavioral changes (less aggression, more foraging) among males that lived in a stream which was exposed to sewage, and therefore low level antidepressant medication.
Oh I have a good one for this
I am an introverted loner who enjoys time spent solitary.
But I do have a social life, date, work. So I am aware that there are other people who spend every day doing something social with others and get frustrated if they have to spend any amount of time by themselves just in their own company.
I believe(d) that time spent alone with yourself and your thoughts is psychologically healthy, helps you figure out who you really are and lets you sort out your beliefs and desires.
So I thought society should change in such a way that there was a mandatory month out of every year where we all spent the entire time locked away in our homes getting essentials delivered.
Now imagine my surprise in 2020 when I actually got what I wanted and it drove a significant chunk of the population absolutely insane.
I love introverts and I personally enjoy my time alone once in a while. But it has to be voluntary. There’s a reason being locked up and alone is society’s standard go-to punishment, and solitary confinement, even in lush and luxurious conditions, can be considered torture.
But we weren’t alone, I still could contact all my friends as usual via voice chat and game together. I saw people at the store, I say colleagues while working remotely in video chats (still do, WFH ftw).
I guess people not adapted to an online life felt isolated, but those were the same criticising my style of life so… Skill issue and get fucked.
Yeah I get it. But, socializing online is not the same as socializing in person. Online there are at most two senses involved, sound and sight. Socialization also has proprioceptive, tactile, and even olfactory dimensions. There’s also a do-together dimension, not about doing the same thing but doing something in the same physical space that is psychologically distinct from occupying the same virtual space or doing the same digital activity online.
Again, I get it, I can personally function socializing mostly online. But that’s not typical. Most humans need to socialize in person to stay mentally healthy. It’s OK if you don’t want to, but just accept that you’re probably in a minority. There’s a fundamental biological reason the Meta universe crashed. Existing mostly online, although it could be healthy for some individuals, is considered pathological by most.
not necessarily disagreeing with you just providing my personal experience/perspective/knowledge, there is a very tangible sense of proprioception in VRChat. it kept me sane during lockdown.
there is also a study (I can dig up if anyone’s interested) that shows that your brain stores memories experienced in VR in a way that it doesn’t with flat screen gaming.
now meta horizons was an absolute disaster and I don’t know where that blame lies, it’s strange that despite everyone in VRChat being An Anime you can apply a level of suspension of disbelief and it really does feel like you’re sharing the space with other people.
Aggre. The lack of market penetration of VR during the pandemic was a factor. However VR is not for everyone. I always remind how VR presence in novels, even when romanticized, is always in a dysdopic context. Rarely interpreted at a positive. People tend to have a rejection to online only VR interaction. Humans need touch.
Dogs are incredibly annoying and a not insignificant number of people that want them actually subconsciously want children, but either can’t afford them, or don’t have a partner to have them with so they adopt a permanent child.
I think it’s rather coincidental that 90%+ of women’s dating profiles in my area (very high cost of living) all mention some form of “I’ll steal your dog. I love your dog more than you. Dogs are life. Live love dog” etc etc…
Gods very likely do not exist. For all we know, we could be a simulation and there is no way to know for sure beyond dying.
This makes every and all religions, sects, beliefs all fake, frauds, and human made.
Religions are for population control, nothing more nothing less and it pisses me off that we live in 2026, we can see other planets around other stars, we know mostly how the universe started, we understand DNA and evolution, we understand physics and yet the majority of Earth’s population still believes in stone age fairytales used to control them.
