I’m not totally sure why people are talking about food availability to me. The fact that there’s enough food means the earth IS meant to have 9 + billion people on it?

There will be some painful short-term consequences of population contraction, but no one has really convinced me we need to try to force people to have children yet, and “we could totally feed them” isn’t a compelling reason for forced reproduction either. Let the population decline if it’s going to!

The truth is that most of the worst things to ever happen to you will be done by people you already know and trust, not strangers, regardless of race!

I don’t think that’s why people aren’t reproducing. I also think it’s probably okay if maybe Earth just wasn’t meant to have 9 billion people on it.

Hell yeah! bots polluting web traffic in a way that reaffirms my biases! 🥳

the politeness of this interaction is what makes me laugh

“I know but I insist 🙏”

It sounds like anonny learned a valuable lesson that day

She found out he can’t spell tries

I loved the Flintstones, good parody

Fuzion Frenzy even though it doesn’t really apply because it wasn’t really single player at all, it was only local co-op mini games like a Mario Party kinda (with no board.)

Even though it doesn’t really match what the greentext is describing, the vibe of just, like, enjoying video games in your living room with no DLC nor microtransactions made me think of it. It’s a game that was, like, moderately successful but not enough that I ever run into people on the internet that know about it, so it almost feels like a kind of secret I share with my sister, and the game had strong art direction that was really early 2000s that hits me with nostalgia too.

I guess it’s easier than interrogating why you assumed in the first place you would get laid

I find that really easy to believe actually. The level of vitriol makes a lot of sense in places where women have some power. Why bother where they are powerless?

I don’t know about that. My time in customer service has taught me that it’s actually pretty hard to win customers over.

GOOD. The big 3 have a tonnnn of political power

I wonder if part of the issue is that we raise kids with a lot of platitudes like “don’t rush it, you’ll find someone” when the truth is not everyone does find someone and you’re not promised a life partner

Yeah, that’s a thing I still struggle with! Understanding how not being able to date turns them into misogynists. I guess it’s entitlement, but I can’t really relate to that in this case, so it’s hard to understand.

I like that explanation a lot, thank you.

Thanks, that’s a good reminder <3

You are honestly helping the US by doing this. People down here aren’t going to learn from this until there’s more pain and layoffs, and we really need to learn

It’s really hard for me to wrap my head around why it’s so easy for certain extremely online guys to hate women so much and so easily.

I encounter a little bit less of it on the fediverse but it’s not immune either. Yesterday on lemmy someone posted something making fun of women who get plastic surgery, and pointing out that they were being kinda misogynist* got a lot of replies about how men are the real oppressed class and you can never make jokes about women and other incel bullshit. No where is immune.

This person might be the toughest in existence, they should study him
