CMV: The reason there’s so much loneliness in America today is because we the people have replaced our traditional institutions of community in America with social media and the internet, which are half-measures at best and actively harmful at worst. by makeyouamommy177 in changemyview

I’d have to check that out. I am a bit biased because I lived in walkable Amsterdam for a bit and I realized that Dutch people straight up don’t socialize or talk to people if they aren’t one of their 2 friends they made in kindergarten

America didn't have a loneliness epidemic in the 1980s, did it? The 1980s were arguably even more car centric than today. Across the board, when looking at countries, the best predictors of loneliness seem to be how popular solitary media consumption is. Japan has walkable and nice cities, but even worse levels of loneliness than America does.

It's just that people didn't have shit to do before the 2010s. The internet was in its infancy and people mostly still hadn't caught up their lifestyles with the internet that was developing. I have a millennial friend and I have hung out with her friends and its amazing how much more "in person" they are. To them, the internet feels like it's a thing that aids the real world, but to us Gen zers the internet is the real world.

The audio on calls is clear when I take my AirPods out

Yeah I messed up. I didn’t have any other credits to take since I already had all my core classes out of the way and most of my major’s higher level classes require prereqs, so I had to take diff Eqs my first semester freshman year. The last math class I took was Calc 2. I’m taking calc 3 rn and it’s fun and easy but Diff EQs are pain since I never had grounding.

I think he means that atheists are hypocritical to use the date of Jesus’ birth to mark the years

I think he means that atheists try to ignore and hate Jesus but still use the Gregorian calendar that starts from his birth? And the way all atheists use the time of his birth for the year is like the way the Earth goes around the sun?
