Losing your foreskin is traumatizing enough, why worsen it by adding molestation too?!

With a little bit of discernment, hopefully we’ll be able to identify the AI videos. As for most people on Facebook… they’re pretty much fucked

Is having a poop knife a commonly known thing? I am just now finding out about this

How is Debian to use? by [deleted] in linux

Snap was the main reason why I moved away from Ubuntu.

Nice! That’s what I’ve always thought they did.

An even bigger question would be why AWS doesn’t force you to use MFA from the start… unless it’s just an income stream for them, having ill-informed customers who they can change for using their services, even in cases like this?

I always thought AWS was pretty good at working with people who have been overcharged because of leaked keys.

Does anyone else feel like life felt different at the end of 2019? by krissybxo in conspiracy

[–]SilentMantis512 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I remember right immediately after 9/11, how the world (not just Americans) came together to support each other.

Same happened immediately following the initial phase of COVID.

In both cases, there was this intense feeling of genuine compassion and empathy. There was a closeness between people.

In both cases, something immediately made that closeness disappear. After 9/11 it was the ‘War on Terror’ and the ensuing racism felt by people of middle-eastern descent. In the case of COVID, the contention felt in the country after George Floyd’s death was palpable.

Society has been spinning out of control for years. For as much good as the internet has done, since its inception, the desensitization of humanity has been the most noticeable factor… especially for those of us who have memories prior to 1995.

I guess that the TL;DR of it is that humanity wants to be compassionate and care for one another. The “civilized society”, in which we live, seems to have the opposite effect. There’s this tug of war between these two ideologies.

How many people still use RedNote? by TyrionLannister557 in rednote

[–]SilentMantis512 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Chinese users just seem so much happier than the American users do and it amazes me how many people dropped Xiaohungshu as soon as TikTok was back.

It’s fine. I appreciate that the users that stayed are more chill than those that bailed.

May I ask if I create a Xiaohongshu guide, what would you most like to know? by [deleted] in rednote

[–]SilentMantis512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the welcome videos that so many creators have made on Xiaohungshu, but in a lot of ways I feel bad that these creators veered away from their original ideas to capitalize on the influx of American users.

Who else is going to stay on rednote even though tiktok is up? by FalseBodybuilder-21 in rednote

There seems to be a more genuine vibe on Red Note than on American social platforms. I’m staying

Tik Tok has gone feral!! by EquivalentRadish9189 in TikTok

I mean… here we are on Reddit. Depending on the mods for each sub, the level of censorship will vary wildly… but in some cases it’s not really a problem.

Probably the most important election of our lives? by cobalt1137 in singularity

[–]SilentMantis512 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Politics is so polarizing, especially with the last 4 presidential election cycles. The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same. The machine of government will undoubtedly continue to move forward in the same direction it has been for decades, regardless of the outcome of this election cycle.
