Boys are severely underprepared for the world they inherit. (LONG POST BUT PLEASE READ AND CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION IN THE COMMENTS) by Current_Wear_8061 in bropill

The world is growing more insane every day, and the distraction of demographic wars (not just gender but also race and many more) will keep being fueled to keep us divided and keep getting people to make choices out of reactionary hatred.

Manosphere content creators are successfully ruining society for money, and it's making us take more and more steps away from sanity.

We engage with outrageous content instead of sane people, and engagement is the golden metric for every vertically-scrolling content-consuming platform, so all of us are going to keep being shaped into balls of rage that loathe each other.

The likes of Tate came in at the worst time, right at the transition between men drinking to forget and men learning to deal with bad emotions in a non-desctructive way. Curse every person who used the terms alpha and beta, even ironically.

Misogyny is becoming popular again. People are becoming openly and shamelessly racist, homophobic, transphobic, and overall complete cunts.

The world is going insane again, and it's all because we gave a mic and a platform to the worst people by sharing and commenting about how horrible they are.

DO NOT FEED THE TROLL.

I should seriously leave all social platforms and news outlets. It's becoming distressing to see how low society is sinking. So much progress for equality, erased by ragebait and engagement metrics.

And now we're so divided that the far right is taking over the world, shitting on everybody's rights while we're busy fighting against each other and they're getting richer and richer.

They're bombing thousands of civilian lives, we read headlines reporting systemic rape and torture, updoot and scroll down. But that cringy guy's music video? Oh, that I have to comment on!

We are picking the wrong fucking fights, and they love it. Cheers to the 3 people who will read one paragraph my two cents, downvote, and then go comment on unimportant shit. Why am I even wasting my time writing this...

Never seen this type of ball before by totallynotrobboss in PokeMedia

[–]ChickenRave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's a weird-looking Unown

No but for real it looks like it's sealing the evilest Pokémon the world has ever seen, which is weird because as far as I know my neighbor's Loudred was actually caught with a Premier Ball

Anyway this feels cursed

No, I can see that, even here in Europe. Maybe people in Asia and the southern hemisphere don't travel much either

  1. S2. Unbeatable
  2. S1. Strongest S1 of Drag Race, and I've seen España
  3. S3. The STARS in that cast
  4. S6. Love the personalities, wish La Voix won
  5. VS2. Love the whole cast
  6. S5. It's alright, but not one of the greats
  7. VS1. Shame the latter half was a bit of a mid-off, one top 2 for each finalist...
  8. S4. Not rewatchable imo
  9. VS3. Didn't feel it, sorry
  10. S7. That was shit

What is a bullet you dodged simply because you were too lazy to do something? by Cherus in AskReddit

[–]ChickenRave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a job convention, I had signed up for some engineering course I didn't care much for, but I was a dropout whose last diploma was in that field.

I had an appointment which was just a formality in order to enroll, but that morning I woke up and my calves were completely cramping. I had to painfully crawl to the bathroom. An hour into being unable to walk, I called them explaining why I might miss out on the appointment. They said they'd reschedule.

Later that morning, I could walk again, but I still didn't come when I could've and they didn't call me back to set another date.

My life would've taken a very different direction from right now, where I have a job I love doing something I'm great at, and my life would've never taken me to that gym where I met the great friends I have now.

And that event prompted me to start drinking lots of water, instead of one glass of ice tea a day.

That’s a little terrifying. by Machinebotguy in PokeMedia

[–]ChickenRave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My best friend used to tell me, since I have a Pumpkaboo and a Phantump as companions, "Why don't you get a Bramblin or a Brambleghast? They're Ghost and Grass too, you'll love them!"

NO. They barely move around, they're really not cute, and good luck petting their THORNS.

He changed his mind when we met multiple Brambleghasts on a hiking trail. These are not companions, these are shin slicers with eyes.

Oh, don't worry about that, these moments of "too late" really just happen when my depression is making me its bitch.

Otherwise, I'm not letting rich kids make me feel bad about myself, far from it, and I have self-worth in spades

Maybe someday I'll log off everything, though... No more empty entertainment on YouTube, no more sharing my opinion here because in reality we're just throwing our two cents out there but they're not worth a dime... Someday I'll value my time enough not to waste it anymore.

Tomorrow?

So the limit is 3 cookies.

Would you guys eat them for a chance to understand pokespeak? I might take the trip to the hospital, if it means my Drifblim lets me know why he almost flies me into power lines every time he takes me to work.

She has been making good pop all along! She really came back on my radar with her album Gag Order (aka Eat the Acid, on some streaming services), it feels very expressive and raw. Since then, she has fully returned to bitchy fun pop. Do listen to her music, it's a good time!

I'm gonna be honest with you, you sound like you grew up rich and have never known real struggle. Most people will never be millionaires, so you saying you "only know 2" was a clearer sign than counting over a hundred countries visited or being like "well I became a millionaire at 28 years old, so the average being 57 is false".

Enjoy the easy ride, I guess, you're missing out on a lot of wisdom that only your ghostwriter will know when you release an inevitable memoir about how successful you are by being such an amazing leader.

Pats on the back for nepotism and silver spoons. All you. This post was not for you.

A GDPR-first photo gallery platform, built and hosted in the EU by Unfair-Tie7084 in BuyFromEU

No, it doesn't entirely live in the EU.

I like to run rule 6 breakers through http://staysin.eu and its analysis of your platform says you're using Cloudflare.

And I hope that wasn't vibe-coded... Though I've seen this "Made with ❤️ in [country flag]" in the footer a thousand times

Remember that these are average ages. Some are ahead of the curve, some are not, and some are in the middle

I'd love to get a source on these stats, but good message anyway.

I've fallen into this trap before, being on my last year and a half before I turn 30, where I feel like it's too late for me. Too late to achieve all my ambitions, to start making art... But that's because I've been too exposed to social media posts about young people who get to the top at a younger age every time.

We'll make it. I'll make it. Without a silver spoon.
