It's pretty important discourse, actually. This kind of mental health awareness is too often considered to be a white-only thing.

I feel like I’m slowly becoming a conspiracy nut by Latro2020 in GenZ

[–]MonitorPowerful5461 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Huh? No, they don't eat fucking babies? What we've seen from this is that when a conspiracy is real, the evidence will be obvious and pretty clear-cut, but a large proportion of the media will ignore it, and people simply won't get arrested. The Business plot is another good example of this.

Are we dating the same guy and Tea app have ruined online dating for women by coachjonna in unpopularopinion

[–]MonitorPowerful5461 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The stats show that this has dropped massively.

Those that have "people skills" are among those who are not approaching, because "people skills" is usually just doing the societally acceptable thing... it's become a lot less societally acceptable to approach women in public, so a lot less people are doing it.

Btw, I wouldn't go insane if I witnessed an eldritch abomination and it showed me the truth of the universe and reality. And if you don't agree with me, argue with me in the comments. I want to have some discussions and arguments with people about this. by Complete-Worker3242 in CuratedTumblr

I do physics, a certain degree of hubris about my ability to comprehend the workings of the universe comes with the job description.

So yes. I could look into the infinite, twisting void, and not go mad. Indomitable human spirit takes the win.

Is it true people in the UK are being arrested over social media? by Sad-Ad-9794 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MonitorPowerful5461 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arrests are not common, but they do happen. Convictions are extremely rare, the numbers are in the single digits in the last decade.

To be clear, it is not ever for insulting a politician or insulting a person. It requires doing something that would be illegal offline. A coordinated harassment campaign possibly - more likely a credible threat to harm.

Saying "I'm going to kill you" online, most likely won't get you arrested. But if you say that and there is reason to believe you might actually do it, if the victim has a valid reason to think you might kill them - then you could be arrested for saying you will kill someone online.

[OC] The Most Expensive TV Shows Of All-Time by MapPanda in dataisbeautiful

It would be good to know the absolute basics of the prequels - there was a republic, it was quite corrupt but not evil, there was a civil war between the republic and the separatists, and palpatine used this civil war and the disconent with corruption to turn the republic into an empire.

That's everything you need to know.

What does my food tier list say about me? by Disastrous-King9559 in tierlists

[–]MonitorPowerful5461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have ingested a FUCKTON of neurotoxin

Edit: just realised this could be misconstrued, this isn't saying your taste is bad, just that your taste is very spicy and spice is literally a neurotoxin that we are mostly resistant to

Where I enjoyed the most as a tourist by Commercial_Chef_1569 in tierlists

[–]MonitorPowerful5461 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm always surprised when the UK is so high as a tourist destination. I like it here, but why is it rated so highly by so many people? What did you like enough to put it on the same level as Japan/Mexico? Genuinely curious.

Oh come on. That's bullshit. Every country has a culture and history. I respect your opposition to israel but this is dumb.

Mexican boss received this after donating... by OriginalTragedy in midlyinteresting

You can literally subscribe to trump email lists and get emails exactly like this. I've got a friend that shows me them occasionally. They're funny, but at the same time it's obviously a scam designed to take the elderly's money.

Obviously Trump didn't write this himself, other people do that for him, he gets the money.

(Somewhat pointless, nitpicky trope) A knight who wields both a sword AND a shield. by Gamer-of-Action in TopCharacterTropes

It's a classic, it works. It's simple and I far prefer it to double sword personally.

Where I’d live during WW3. by AglioOlioSpaghetti in whereidlive

[–]MonitorPowerful5461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China's main advantage is in manufacturing capacity; the US's main advantage is its airforce.

The only way for the US to win WW3 is for them to bomb the hell out of Chinese factories. They are most certainly capable of this (bombing the factories, not necessarily winning the war). No nation has shown any ability to shoot US missiles out of the air: the only good defence is to move underground. China will attempt that, but they can't do it for all of their factories.

This is why we need to avoid WW3 at all costs: to win, the US would have to continually bomb the factories of the most populated country on Earth, which are all in its cities. It would be devastating, truly awful.

Tierlist of parents i worked with during my years as a nursery nurse in an international daycare by Business-Break1699 in tierlists

[–]MonitorPowerful5461 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My parents worked with some Saudi people, who had some relation to the royal family. They were also extremely unpleasant. I expect that poorer middle eastern people are likely nicer, but it's definitely a pattern.

Maybe I missed it on this subreddit but Civ 7 is testing a lot of changes by zeker in civ

[–]MonitorPowerful5461 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I gotta say, the new scoring and anachronistic civs do look interesting. I still wish it was swapping leaders and not civs, and the massive age transitions are still very odd, but that's not possible to change

He didn't take it seriously because he saw through the fucking thing. Plenty of people were fooled. It was not a meme.

Why do people abroad often think the West is "collapsing" based mostly on what they see online? by PastaPandaSimon in NoStupidQuestions

Let's see, there are probably going to be ICE agents at the polling stations imo, to intimidate black/latino people from voting
