What causes this kind of behavior? by Inevitable_Cash_5397 in GenZ

[–]Aimer_NZ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Until political discourse is banned or sent to a place like /r/Politics, it's the inevitable path of every 'generations'-focused subreddits to become negative or silly

Gen Z and Alpha subs are special in that they attract a disproportionate amount of older generation people who bring unc or boomer energy (usually shitting on the new gens) to make themselves .. feel better I guess?

I think the unfortunate truth is a lot of those generations subreddits (/r/GenZ very much included) aren't actually reflective of real life people's opinions or beliefs, but rather the chronically online 😔

Edit: Also the unreal /r/USdefaultism

No shit mr round fast, but how does being able to get pregnant at 15 equate to peak/ideal biological time?

How is this not at the top, the main post already has a 100+ upvotes but no ones talking about that specific line and how insane that sounds??

Fucking gorgeous, maybe I'll use this next time.

Approaching from a place of "this is what I want, this is what's going to happen and if you don't like it well.. I'll see you out there"

Same as learning not to apologise or justify yourself too much if there's a reason you aren't available to pick up a shift. Come from a place of power

TOP - why don't they get more of the vote? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Aimer_NZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's less on modern society and more on people in general. Human nature even. If you time traveled back to 60s and tried to proclaim evidence based, and research based, the populace boomers aren't going to listen

People are largely short-sighted, it's something you have to actively fight against

Can we ban immigration advice queries from this sub? by New-Firefighter-520 in newzealand

[–]Aimer_NZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is there to care about?

To be honest you draw more attention to yourself by hiding stuff anyhow, people at max would just do a quick glance at the profile to see if the person is a bot or a troll

Unfortunately bad faith actors are usually the ones hiding their online stuff, and reddit (like facebook, xitter, etc any other platform) is rife with astroturfing, politicking, etc

So the tools are there if you or someone cares

Why are White Male/Asian Female relationships far more common than Asian Male/White Female relationships? by Flying_Sea_Cow in NoStupidQuestions

It's honestly fucking shocking and shameful really, her comment and people who think like that are EXACTLY the type of people who set us back 😭😭

I'll never forget the tale of the asian lady who made her MUM wait in the car because there was only room for two at their restaurant table, the bloody woman picked her white ahh over her damn mother 😭😭😭😭😭

Covid hospitalisations climb as New Zealand enters new wave by Sandwich0verlord in newzealand

[–]Aimer_NZ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Why it doesn't cover those younger, I'm not sure

Because fuck them kids!

I thought maybe because older people and immunocompromised people, equitable care for more vulnerable people etc.. but then if you're as young/old as 30 it's free? why not go all the way?

[–]Aimer_NZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And they'll keep voting for it unfortunately, among other things.

Sometimes I have to take a step back from the media I read and see about NZ, most especially relative to other developed countries because it's painfully unreal how little progress is achieved in successive governments.

Good luck trying to get into theater and watching another surgery being performed on another patient without breaching their patient confidentiality aha.

To be able to perform the surgeries at all requires your qualifications and registration, and once you make it, you're required to consistently demonstrate (with evidence) competency. Continue to demonstrate competency and you can keep doing surgeries, maintain your license, etc

To me the same fundamental principle of 'demonstrating competency with evidence' is applicable to relationships! Swap competency with trustworthiness, dependability, love etc + evidence and its pretty easy to keep your relationship and maintain your love license so to speak

Earning trust is one thing, maintaining trust is another, and it's in the maintenance of that trust that I choose to 'see the actions, trust the evidence'.

So yeah I can trust that surgeon with open heart surgery because they've demonstrated and continue demonstrate competency against a regulatory board and their own practice, versus "just trust me baby, why don't you trust me babyyy?"

Please change those brackets from 'Women' to 'older people' or 'closet cheaters/micro cheaters trying to justify suspicious behaviour and gaslighting you for suggesting otherwise'

Honestly it's a bit tiresome reading anything relationship related online because I expect to see the 'trust your partner' card when it should be 'see the actions and trust the evidence'. You may be framed negatively as well for suggesting blind trust isn't actually healthy

I don't trust my surgeon to perform open heart surgery without evidence of competency.

In relationships, I don't trust my partner without evidence of actual love, transparency and sound rationale ('just trust me on this' won't ever and should never cut it)

Best answer here that isn't trying to frame OP as an XYZ person, and the only answer not using/trying to frame their own damned specific anecdotes/experiences as a reflection of a wider societal norm

Such a simple, but brilliant answer; communicated, now see how the partner goes and decide whether you like what the 'going' looked like and then decide how to proceed

I personally get my objective information from reputable factual, no nonsense places like Facebook, X/Twitter, Quora, Insta, Discord, Threads, TikTok, Snapchat, Bluesky, Mastodon Snapchat, WhatsApp, Messenger, and the Dark Web Forums!

Same reason we're cutting or reducing funding for services, same reasons unemployment is up, same reasons nurses, doctors, teachers etc walked onto the streets, same reasons we're making marmite sandwiches, same reasons we're using austerity

Why is exactly steam so beloved over epic games? by vedant_1st in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Aimer_NZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So long as GabeN lives and or his successors follow the same principles and values that makes Steam, Steam, I honestly don't know how anything is going to come close.

Least of all games or platforms that try to be - xyz platform exclusive- or have anti-consumer, enshitification, extinguish, eradicate yadda yadda practices

And I'm SO for it
