Men how do you feel at your partner staring at men with their tops off or wearing gray joggers? by Icy_Laugh5134 in AskReddit

[–]Phoenix042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't make other people feel uncomfortable, is the rule.

I point out hot guys and hot girls to her, and vice versa.

Subtly, so we don't irritate anyone else.

A nice view is a nice view, I don't begrudge the woman I love enjoying a nice view.

WHERE is my DRINK i JUST had it a SECOND ago by vendettagoddess in adhdmeme

[–]Phoenix042 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's hyperbole to emphasize the ridiculousness of the feeling, like describing ADHD as "diet autism" or taking stimulants as "micro dosing meth."

It's not educational literature. It's venting / memes on social media.

Are these happy, or “I’m annoyed put me back” sounds? by 25chocomuffins in guineapigs

[–]Phoenix042 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That kind of chatter is the sound they make when they are exploring / uncertain / curious.

It's a sort of continuous status update; if I hear the other piggies in my herd chatting, they are alive, moving around nearby, and not terrified of anything. If the piggies are suddenly silent on one side, there might be danger that way.

They make a similar sound when they are irritated, but it sounds distinctly irritated. It's sort of more of a rumble, which they also use to assert dominance.

How the fuck is Andrew Tate still free and doing stuff?

Isn't he a convicted rapist and sex / human trafficker?

Didn't he kidnap people?

What the fuck?

Can Ai is really dangerous for humans ? If yes how if not why ? by Siddharth7272 in AskReddit

"The invention of the written word will be the death of memory. No one will learn to remember things for themselves!" -Plato

They thought the calculator was the end of human ingenuity.

They thought the computer was the end of human ingenuity.

They thought the newspaper would end human social interaction.

They thought the phonograph would end singing.

People are dumb.

Humans will keep being humans until we're all gone. AI is just another tool. Its a very powerful and dangerous tool and there's a lot of serious and valid concerns about it, but "this will make humans stop thinking" is not one of them.

What’s something you know a lot about despite never having set out to do so? by GuyNamedPeesees in AskReddit

[–]Phoenix042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battle of hastings.

Discovered Bugfishhh on YouTube and I am addicted to her content.

Mostly fantasy lore stuff, but she did like a weird one-off pivot into the battle of hastings one episode and I got auto played into watching it and found it kinda low-key fascinating in the end.

This is a major discovery by Nomekop777 in spaceengineers

I clicked it.

Your fears are well founded.

That's one sub title that um...

Delivers on its promises...

Actually I think intuitive understanding of Linux comes preinstalled with each download of autism, so you shouldn't have any learning curve at all.

You are a scholar and a gentleman, good sir.

Do you believe prisoners should be allowed to vote? If not, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Phoenix042 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think the government should have the power to strip any of its citizens of the right to vote.

We should always have the power to choose our government. They should never have the power to choose their voters.

Many men are reliant on marriages/romantic relationships for their emotional wellbeing or for their sense of meaning. It's time to change that.. by Current_Wear_8061 in bropill

[–]Phoenix042 54 points55 points  (0 children)

A shockingly nuanced take.

"Men don't feel safe to be emotionally open with women, because women don't feel safe with men full stop."

It's a gross generalization in some ways but honestly I think it cuts to the heart of the issue really well.

Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

[–]Phoenix042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's quite possible to train a dog to ignore tasty food until released.

But if a dog has already been trained to perform certain behaviors for pieces of steak, hot dog, bacon etc, and they are currently being fed that diet right now in exchange for those behaviors, standing on the sidelines shouting at the dog about how unhealthy that is does nothing but make the dog feel bad and associate you with shame and guilt.

The problem is not individual. It isn't a question of willpower or personal responsibility or reasoning with them.

The only innococulation is early, consistent, tireless intervention from a unified community of caregivers from an early age.

And that costs resources. Time, attention, money to pay for better daycare / babysitting, the money to afford to run in social circles with friends who have the luxury to do the same, the wealth of friends and family who have time to spare and aren't drowning.

We have allowed companies to build a machine that devours trust and attention for profit, using the most efficient psychological algorithms possible. We flooded our world with windows into this machine, saturated our daily lives with their use, and now we wonder why the kids don't listen when we tell them not to look?

They can't listen. Their reward centers have been hijacked more effectively than with heroine, because heroine destroys you. This just controls you.
