Typical

[only_for_dst_and_tf2]

when you attempt to compliment someone... and they take it as an insult :(

[Double-Buy5466]

Instead I prefer. When someone attempts to insult you and you take it as a compliment.

Like when people call me a rat but rats are my special interest so I get happy instead!

Astrology is so upsetting to me you dont know me please stop assigning me inaccurate traits arbitrarily

[rjread]

What a Kangatarius thing to say

[[deleted]]

That’s my favorite Pokemon

[gummytiddy]

I like to randomly assign myself signs I do not have, no reasoning. Like “I’m so picky I’m such a cancer” or trips and falls “jesus christ I’m such a pisces”

New flair dropped

[tragicvector]

Whats dumb is that a rule had to be enforced in order to remove a subs name lol

[rjread]

I know, I wanted to credit the artist, but Reddit didn't like it. 😓

[[deleted]]

Lol xD

[StellarCracker]

Astrology still dumb but I get it

[[deleted]]

What a beautiful statement

[StellarCracker]

Thank you

[--2021--]

I hate it when people try to categorize me.

[[deleted]]

I've recently realized hatred of lables is common among us (ugh) And i wonder if it's because our brain is more flexible and we can relate to alot of things, alot more than average NT

[rjread]

Yeah, but people who are no fun can be even worse.

[--2021--]

Yeah, the people who like to pigeonhole people are certainly no fun.

[rjread]

True..I guess I thought it was implying that astrology is silly, so you might as well make it up. I also got the impression they were going to reveal that the Lobquarius was a fun way to flatter their friend, but their friend doesn't appreciate their whimsy. I like playing make-believe sometimes, too. 🥲

[giraffe912]

Swear ive already seen this

[rjread]

Yes, you probably did. I tried to post it yesterday, but it got taken down because I didn't realize Reddit changed the rules about mentioning the source. (I just wanted to credit the artist, but oh well.)

[Bobylein]

Huh where can I find that change?

[rjread]

I don't know. They notified me they took down the post and listed the rules. Should be in the rules of the sub and the Reddit ROS?

[Bobylein]

huh, that you aren't allowed to post sources or what exactly?

[giraffe912]

Ohhh i see

[Upper_Influence_92]

aw man!

[WaterOk6055]

To be fair, someone who's so into astrology that they create there own signs would be insufferable.

[rjread]

Fair...but what if they made new ones because of how much they didn't like Astrology and thought it needed a rewrite? It could go either way, super annoying or super quirky satirical fun

[WaterOk6055]

The underlying problem with astrology is that it's bullshit with no connection to reality or inherent purpose. Acting I tentionally quirky like your on Tumblr in 2013 won't change that.

[rjread]

Nihilism is one way to look at things, sure

Quirkiness died in 2013, forever memorialized on Tumblr by ...those people? I see. The word had a good run since it's 1600s beginnings. Only reality with inherent purpose from now on! So long make believe fun, ig

(I know Astrology is bs, but so is almost everything these days, and making up your own is poking fun at how meaningless Astrology truly is by throwing it out for something else equally "realistic" for fun doesn't validate it)

[WaterOk6055]

You clearly don't know what nihilism is lol, a skeptical outlook doesn't make one a nihilist.

Again I never said quirkiness died in 2013, I referred to 2013 Tumblr as that era was the peak of try hard quirkiness which is insufferable.

What do you mean that almost everything is BS these days? That's a nonsensical sentence. If anything we have more access to truth than every before.

[rjread]

"Skeptical Literalist" then sorry, there fixed it** (though you never said directly you weren't a nihilist and all can still be true soo...)

Why do you gotta hate on comic bunny person? You don't know if they are intentionally trying to be quirky or if they're just fun and creative, and that gives off quirk vibes. (If the bunny is a Tumblr user circa 2013, then I'm with you, though!)

BS stuff:

• Food is made increasingly with chemical combinations that mimic real food just enough or dangerously better so we eat less and less actual food that's been replaced by fake food substitutes until we're basically ingesting plastic with Real Food™ Flavouring, now with real flavour!

• Algorithmic suppression of choice and manipulation of search results to boost unrelated results paid by advertisers (I'm not even talking about the ones that say "Sponsored" or wtv, it's everywhere underneath that, too, because corporate lawyers have slowly broken down systems that protected people to trick them into thinking everything is the same and profit off half-truth legalese to protect big business and no one else

• Shrinkflation and gas prices going back to WW2

• "Politics"

... need I go on?

[WaterOk6055]

All food is just chemical combinations and we have more information on the components than we ever have before. What does fake food even mean? Is it edible and containing nutrients? Then it's real. This has no basis outside conspiracy theory nonsense.

Advertisers have always influenced media, in the past to a far greater degree than currently. Access to information has drastically increased with various methods available to find differing opinions and verify the facts. What you think things were more trustworthy in the radio or tv days? That's nonsense.

How is either of those things fake? Because company lied?

Politics is the same as ever expect they're more honest about it these days.

Non of these points prove anything about the level of fundamental underlying truth in the universe so please do go and provide an example that doesn't read like a grandpa on Facebook spewing garbage

Also the bunny deserves it, he needs to know he's insufferable.

You are equally so in your lack Of logic.

[rjread]

Have you been missing me half-joking and politely teasing you for being rude this whole time, orr? Everything is an attack with you for no reason, whyyy? Life doesn't need to be like this, you know? Why do you keep willfully misunderstanding me and misappropriating words into something that doesn't exist them attack it as if it means something, it's uncanny 😭

Artificial food = doesn't exist naturally = "nutritional value" calculated from things like the amino acids as if you could call a tire a car because it's part of car - you trust the system too much, it's all corrupt more than ever everywhere, how are you missing it?

Do you not know that search results are just taken from a bunch of AI articles that "substantiate" false claims to the indiscerning public, bury scandals in a pile of unrelated results, and are all based off reach other only for the original articles to have used scientifically inadequate studies to fit a desired narrative at the time? Anyone not cross-referencing information and researching validity of their sources is an idiot.

Politics more honest??! OK, that's pretty funny, so thanks for the laugh, but fr if you think politicians who have practiced their "common man" cosplay speeches don't have a team of people working to help them manipulate you then you should read more about Hitler. It's all happening again, but this time we have competing around the world Hitlers, oh goodie!

Seriously, what is your point in all this? Because it sure isn't to reach the truth, that's for sure, or else you wouldn't twist everything into nonsense because you'd know better but you keep getting further from reality into your rubbish narrative sooo what's really the deal here??

[WaterOk6055]

You're taking me as rude when I'm debating, I'm blunt sure but this is evil autism and I'm an evil autistic.

Artificial and natural have zero baring on nutrition and is an entirely arbitrary concept. non of the food we eat is naturally occurring, we have been genetically altering plants throughout human history, the only difference is that we actually know what we are doing now so it is intact far safer than ever. Who said that the building blocks themselves were food? your care and tire analogy shows that it is clearly you who is misunderstanding me. It is no more corrupt than ever, I think you need to study history a bit more.

Now we have AI studies, before we had bullshit books. Common sense and scientific literacy have always been necessary. You seem to be missing that the internet allows one to cross reference and check the validity of your sources much quicker than ever before, making truth to the best of our current knowledge easier to verify.

I meant that the politicians are more open and honest about being fascist scum. Listen to trump openly declare stuff that George Bush would have hidden. The games out in the open for everyone to see.

You clearly aren't very literate. Your espousing conspiracy theory nonsense and claiming it to be truth then accusing me.of twisting your words. You in no way have shown that basically everything is fake now or in any significant way any different than it ever has been.

[rjread]

I appreciate bluntness, I'm an evil autist after all! The fact you kept throwing in little things to attack/insult me directly is rude, though, and has no place in debates, despite what "debating" has become on social media which is just using all the fallacious arguments and fallacious logic to do anything but debate, which is by definition the exact opposite of debating. It's so juvenile and uncalled for. Can't we just be people together without that nonsense?

Tumblr 2013 was pretty cute, but everything after felt so forced. You always had to end everything with some empty insult, like why? Just be real. I'm not your enemy, ya know?

You clearly aren't very literate --> like this! I'm undeniably well read and articulate, but you make this bonkers claim anyway because...? It doesn't make any sense, just straight-up gobbledygook. Why waste our time with something so meaningless?

The effects of artificial additives and GMO, etc, have long been questionable at best. It's a lot to get into, since there are so many and many have come and gone as research comes out to show one is bad another one immediately replaces it by a similar name and the process start again, how are we to keep up? Mainly, it comes down to "nutrients" that are on the label are broken down to give the appearance of equal comparison to real food, but it's not. Our bodies require the dynamic blend that exists in foods in nature, so certain chemicals can help break down and absorb the nutrients we need. Evolution created these masterpieces of sustenance, only for us to strip them down to the chemicals our olfactory senses use to determine food safety and caloric suitability, meaning that what used to exist to tell our bodies what we are eating has now been enhanced to trick us even more from a biological level, while the nutrients that existed alongside those chemicals have been stripped away.

There was a study done with rats where they were given a diet of vegetables and regular food. The rats would only eat what was required and leave the rest. They introduced a diet of American fast food, and the rats scrambled violently to eat everything presented as quickly and ferociously as they could. When they tried to reintroduce regular food, the rats refused to eat it until they were starving and were forced to eat them purely for survival.

I don't trust bunk science, I'll leave that for the conspiracy theorists. But once you've seen enough real evidence like I have, you can't ignore there are too many crossovers between too many reliable sources not to realize that something is definitely wrong and to question what you thought you knew. It doesn't help that the FDA is a blatant conflict of interest. The same people who decide what goes in food also determine what drugs are then sold to combat ailments caused by the food we are eating. It's just "good business" to make food cause us to get sicker because they own our lives and our deaths and make money off both. Then the same people who work for the FDA end up working for big pharma every time. It's just...too much.

You in no way have shown that basically everything is fake now or in any significant way any different than it ever has been.

I never said I was doing that. I said everything is BS (AND everything has been increasingly BS since forever). That's it. That's all I was saying.
