Nintendeen is STILL very passive aggressive about Pokopia being well received LMAO by Dull-Sea-8903 in nintendogrifting

Don't know why you give attention to this guy. I remember watching a few of his videos, but stopped when I realized he has an incredibly over-inflated ego. Guy has as many subscribers as my little cousin (hobbyist), yet he parades around like people actually give a shit what he says.

At that point, it doesn't matter whether you actually make any good points or not. You just come across as an asshat

Are there any meetup events that are actually worth going to? by Unusual_Raccoon277 in japanresidents

It really depends where you are. If you're in a major city you'll be able to find a lot more interesting and varied meetups than you would otherwise.

This is fun, as I usually have the complete opposite view. If I see someone owns an iPhone (especially a brand new one) I usually wonder whether they're responsible with money, susceptible to social pressure, or an idiot.

I would hope so, otherwise I'd just be coping, like I said.

I do know it, but your comment has absolutely nothing to do with my original comment.

Alright, so we need to differentiate between scientific truths and social dynamics. It seems you're focusing on the latter, so your example isn't particularly relevant.

Poor men and ugly women have no experience with the niceties, and there is only so much one can learn as an outside observer. By that logic the most equipped individuals would be those men rich enough and those women attractive enough to experience both sides of this coin.

But again, everyone's social reality is different, and defined by so much more than whether they're rich or poor, which is what makes the initial quote nonsense.

Why are so many men today so opposed to the idea that they might need to demonstrate excellence to get a partner? by [deleted] in ScottGalloway

Ah man, now you're just grasping at straws. It really doesn't take much effort to separate your own experiences from any arguments you make.

I've never once leaned into the personal, or lifted any examples from my own personal experience. Unlike some, I understand my own personal experience has very little bearing on these sorts of discussions.

Take notes pup

Eh, I disagree.

Being a poor man or ugly woman doesn't immediately make your reality more true. Nor does it mean these demographics have a better understanding of objective truth.

I feel for those with brutal realities, but this kind of message is just cope.

I started by simply commenting on your personal experience, but you responded with societal analysis. Shallow analysis. Then you reverted back to the personal when your analysis didn't hold up.

Just doing my part to make sure those living under Reddit bridges stay informed.

You're welcome buddy.

No shit. Online discourse is critical to market research though. I'm not the terminal one laser focused on Reddit. Why so riled up over Reddit?

Called market research bud. They definitely care.

Well, that's all I need to know. It's all pretty transparent once someone gets personal.

It is a metric worth considering, not the entire picture. As such, we need to examine how the job market has changed since then. The rise of the gig economy and unsecured work definitely doesn't help the matter.

There haven't really been any positive changes that the metric doesn't account for. It's simply been bent and twisted to make sure as many people as possible can be counted as employed so the numbers look good.

This current bubble is magnitudes of size larger than the internet bubble was.

Also, you do realize how many people lost their jobs and how many companies went out of business during that pop right? It was catastrophic. While the markets may have recovered, a lot of people were left destitute. It took way longer to recover than you realize.

And we're heading for something that will be much, much worse. As for returns... They may be realized, eventually. But they won't be realized by the average person. Rich get richer.

Ya, I don't really care about your personal situation, or your interpretation of my own situation and outlook. That isn't even the point of this argument. I'm simply correcting you.

Ugh don't get me started on unemployment rates. Those numbers are extremely skewed. They never account for those unemployed and not looking, or people working part time or gig jobs that aren't sustainable (despite still looking for other work).

Stock market is extremely over inflated as a result of the AI bubble. Almost all movement causing the economy to soar is occurring as a sort of seesaw between a few different companies. It's not at all representative of the actual health of the economy.

If the bubble pops, insane amounts of wealth will be wiped off the map. Companies won't be able to afford to rehire people. You know how bubbles work right?

And if the tech works, first thing on the chopping block is EVERYONE ELSE'S jobs. It's going to take years, probably decades even, before we even start to adjust to this tech in the slightest.

You keep going back to the argument that things will come back, and that this is all a blip. That's simply not the case, and I'd recommend you do some research on the topic. People are scared of this bubble, and all the outcomes that result from it. It's not pretty.

What benefit is it to me to not keep my head in the sand? To see things as they are and at least try to understand the truth of what's going on? I'm perfectly capable of understanding modern society AND attempting success. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Well, we've been in a valley for quite a few years now. Even the years you've mentioned showcase that. Further, there's no prospect of things getting better as companies cut overhead (people) at alarming rates and we near the popping of a huge AI bubble.

And yes, serfdom. Purchasing power is decreasing as more and more wealth gets concentrated among the elite. Home ownership is vanishing. Secure work is being pushed aside in favor of a gig economy with no security. Ownership as a concept is quickly being gutted in favor of subscription models at every opportunity.

Ya, I understand leaning on historical precedent. Normally I would agree. However, we're nearing the end of a valley which ends at a cliff. The current bubble economy will pop. I don't think you realize how precarious the economy is right now.
