My point was simply that there are a lot of things we do “better than nature”, though we are a part of nature anyways so the distinction is arbitrary.

Yeah, natural immunity is much better than antibiotics and vaccines, which is why we invented them in the first… Oh no wait, that’s actually incredibly wrong.

It’s not ok to insult anyone. Why do you feel the need to do so, and why are you asking for permission?

Palhaçada. Torcer para time de futebol deveria ser uma coisa divertida que cria comunidade, não uma desculpa para cometer crimes e gerar animosidade.

More like going into a church and complaining that there are too many pedophiles.

But muh piracy!

Congratulations. I give you a 9/10 in condescension.

He’s a Nazi influencer. He just spent four months having his greatest dream come true every day: getting his dick sucked by buff men with swastika tattoos. Of course. he looks refreshed

You didn’t read the article, did you? It’s not about reading tomes but books. Doesn’t matter if it’s an e-book or a really long slideshow on TikTok. These kids have never read the entirety of the text which is ordinarily contained in a single tome regardless of the format in which they didn’t read it. If you don’t understand why this is alarming, odds are you haven’t either. And considering you didn’t even read the article…

I saw it twice. The first time I didn’t actually get extra XP, the second time I did.

Also, if you get a second multiplier while the first is still active, now it just adds itself to the end of the multiplier’s active time instead of stacking.

If you can’t explain something in simple terms, that means you don’t understand it yourself. Which is why you’re being so needlessly aggressive and throwing accusations in the first place. It’s because you have such a tenuous grasp on your own theoretical framework that you feel threatened by anyone displaying an opinion that seems to contradict it. You don’t care about righting wrongs, about teaching or even about learning yourself. You only care about protecting your own fragile worldview.

To remedy this, I suggest you open yourself more to diverging opinions - not really in order to change your mind on anything in particular, but because if you only reinforce your current beliefs you’ll miss the forest for the trees. You can actually learn more about your own ideology by studying others and contrasting them.

There, one simple paragraph explaining the problem in terms even a child could understand and another simple paragraph suggesting an actionable solution to that problem, all devoid of aggression and without fake quotations. This is how an adult deals with a misinformed opinion online. I hope this example serves you well in the future.

In the same vein, my friend frequently tells his fiancé to quit being a f*ggot when he doesn’t want to eat something unusual or complains about mild annoyances. Which always draws hilariously confused looks from nearby straights who don’t know them very well.

And your comment lacks anything of substance that could point me in the right direction if you were right.

It’s actually a really good game, though of course it has some problems. The real issue is the fact that most people weren’t even aware that it existed.

To be fair, we absolutely should outlaw at least 99% of all currently practiced forms of advertising and make it so that new forms of advertising have to be whitelisted by a panel of psychiatrists, sociologists, environmentalists and urban planners before they’re allowed.

The people who make it a problem to wear the same dress twice are at fault. #NotAllWomen #NoMenAtAll

The point is that when the phrase “male privilege” is used, it carries the implication that the patriarchy is responsible. But in this particular case, women have 100% of the power to make the problem go away and men have 0%. Calling it “male privilege” is counterproductive if you actually want to solve the problem rather than just complain about it.

Alternative title: how annoying people have adapted to not being able to annoy everyone as easily as before.

That isn’t the whole picture. I was born in 1988. The sampling of music from the 70’s that I’ve been exposed to is completely different to the sampling of music from the same period that someone born in '58 was exposed to in their lifetime. They got to listen to a bunch of bad stuff (and probably some great stuff) that I don’t even know exists.
