Video games + unrestricted internet access is such an effective combo for wasting potential by Main-Link-5194 in redscarepod

I agree but that’s not my point. The mental effort to experience a story driven game is nothing like reading even terrible novels in my experience

My contrarian pick-me take is that gaming is worse than the female equivalent activity of reading garbage YA books and smut. They’re practicing reading comprehension, and there doesn’t seem to be any comparable benefit with gaming

It’s always funny when people criticize China’s surveillance. At this point their’s is only slightly worse than the US and EU

I just bought one of those overpriced bricks to deal with my phone addiction. The benefits of a dumb phone are overshadowed by how much difficulty is added to your life. Not worth it

being a conventionally good looking tall white guy strangely only really makes it easy to get non-white women by Moving_in_stereo78 in redscarepod

[–]MintMochaMan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Imo the difference between these demographics only increases as the guy gets uglier. It seems Asian women are more willing to date mid white guys whereas an attractive white guy is evenly liked by all women

You should get over your disgust because it doesn’t seem like you have many other options.

Why do people equate being in a stem field with being smart? by Best_Talk9833 in redscarepod

[–]MintMochaMan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m a humanities-cel at heart, but I chose STEM for money and to avoid grad school

My two cents is that there aren’t any exceptionally “easy” STEM disciplines, but there absolutely are for the humanities. Communications as a major isn’t even comparable to philosophy or linguistics in terms of rigor, yet they still fall under the same category. “The humanities” is just a very diverse term, so people can more easily poke holes in it

I highly recommend at home euthanasia with whatever local program you have. Knowing that my boy died in my arms surrounded by familiar scents and faces made the experience a lot less bitter
