No. As a rule basically anything you see here that the right is “panicking” about is a nothing burger to them.

It’s the same with their news feed, they get articles about how the left is “panicking” over shit nobody actually cares about.

More and more were hating fictionalized versions of each other and the ensuing culture war gives the 1% room to pave over our rights.

We’re to the point now where the “wft I love/hate X now” meme isn’t a joke. The culture war is fully driving people’s values, not ideology.

This is the main reason why people vote for trump, they want to win the culture war and don’t give a fuck about ideology.

Next time you see a headline or article ask yourself if you actually give a shit or if you’re being told to give a shit. You’ll be surprised how often it’s the latter.

95% of the memes here (like this one) here are just strawmen for culture war fodder.

I wouldn’t call the reign of terror, the Thermidorian Reaction or ultimate rise of capitalism “working out”.

The entire system we have now came into place because they had no plan and just let the merchan class become the new royals.

Yeah I hate the 1% but you have to be extremely naive to think that just killing them is the answer when all of the mechanisms that led to their existence are intact.

Even if you killed the top 10 richest people every month you’d still have insane wealth consolidation, just with different family members on the chopping block each month.

The French revolution ended in utter chaos because they had no plan beyond killing the crown.

Got drunk and sent a picture of my dick wrapped in a fur blanket with a face drawn on it and the caption “winter is cumming”

Was pretty funny all in all, was an incredibly rowdy group chat

Isn’t that what the zodiac killer was all about?

What do you mean the coach doesn’t legally own the players?

What’s the fucking point of owning a sports team then?

It’s an old show, at a certain point the plot stops being a spoiler and enters public discourse.

House could have been re-aired in its entirety and still be off the air for 4 years since it stopped airing.

It’s much harder to plan around property ownership when you can’t just kill the property owners.

American culture is generally anti-collective so that “independence” coupled with cars becoming status symbols ensured the death of rail in America.

I guess it messes with the LLM training

I don’t really know about light and eyes, I just know that UV radiation is bad for you and I know that academic quality evidence for this is abundant.

It was easy to find multiple .edu and .gov sources that explicitly state that UV is harmful to your vision.

When people say things like “bright direct sunlight to the eyes” to me it reads as “touching grass is beneficial.”

You don’t need to look at or near the sun, there’s plenty of sunlight bouncing around on a sunny day. You also don’t need to expose yourself to UV so sunscreen is still a good idea.

Is there a new digg or are you referring to lemmy?

Yeah I definitely feel better now that I’m not looking at reddit.

Still doom scrolling on Lemmy but like you said it’s slow and imo it’s a bit less hyperbolic.

I feel like you can have actual conversation and exchange ideas here as opposed to the reddit dunk off.

I got perma’d a month ago for posting links to .edu domains showing proof that UV light damages your eyes.

Some guy was claiming “the CDC/FDA doesn’t know shit because I used to start into the sun to spite the people who told me not to.”

I got a redditcares and then a site wide shadowban.

No action on the appeal.

I decided not to make another account and to try quitting the internet, when that failed I decided to go to Lemmy instead of reddit again.

When Lemmy gets shitty like that hopeful I’ll be ready to disconnect for good.

I like kids but I do not want my own.

I think people should be OK with other people making their own choices.

Telling someone to “grow up and have kids” like in the comic is really shitty just like how telling someone they made a mistake by having kids would be.

Idk why the argument is "everyone should have kids or nobody should have kids. "

I feel like the internet has ruined many people’s tolerance for ambiguity or difference.

There’s a reason bustin makes me feel good

I feel much the same, I want to completely unplug more and more with each passing day.

It may just be low blood sugar fueled pessimism but I don’t see anything actually replacing these massive sites.

It’s like trying to get into old multiplayer games where the few players left have a massive experience advantage that makes the barrier to entry impossibly high.

I think the best response is to just not participate anymore.

I’m far from that goal, hopefully enshittification will force my hand and push me offline for good.

I did as a kid because I was different from everyone else.

As an adult I’m so incredibly thankful that I didn’t suffer genital mutilation because of social pressure from people I couldn’t care less about.

I’m very happy being natural.

People who unironically think this should go clean some leaves themselves and see how long they stick with the rake.

It’s always so much easier to tell other people how to do their job.
