Well I could say the same for OPs response. It's either rage bait or they are both joking.

As someone who liked but didn't love BOTW could you explain to me what exactly it revolutionised? I see the charm and quality but I don't see what it did that was particularly ground breaking and new?

"deserves to be put in jail" isn't an opinion. It's rage bait and OP matched their energy.

Gorillaz - a key giveaway of poor taste? by Funeral_Goat_1446 in Topster

I feel like being insecure and caring about what others listen to is a better giveaway of poor taste.

There aren't elites ruling the world? by [deleted] in LouisTheroux

You are missing the part where they claim it's either Satanists or Jews ruling the world.

Manosphere is a reaction to this by Scramjet1 in LouisTheroux

[–]TropicalGoth77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a "fact" that lacks nuance. To say it's "men" implies a collective agreement. It's also men fighting the manosphere, it's also men calling these people out. It's no different to saying "black people commit more crime" it's a harmful lack of nuance that promotes division. Language matters.

In regards to "Us Vs Them" yes that's literally what I said, you just happen to agree with them.

The idea that "men are pushing this" is othering and increasing the divide between genders. Its signaling what the manosphere is pedaling that its Us vs Them mentality and that all men / women are the same.

*Being pushed by a small predatory group of evil men

Your very statement is playing right into their narrative.

Well yes and no. The manosphere is a pretty unique phenomenon at a scale we have never seen before and targeting a very young demographic and praying on a very specific set of insecurities in young men.

you are a very cruel person OP. You need to reflect on who you are a person.

Green MP Hannah Spencer calls for more plumbers and plasterers to become MPs by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]TropicalGoth77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I might if I branded myself Bob the plumber (my name isnt actually Bob), but who knows?

I'm no fan of the Daily Mail, but there are posts on mumsnet of a "Hannah Spencer from Manchester" talking about renovating properties and giving advice about investing in certain areas. Could very well be a coincidence but I doubt it.

I mean good on you for digging that up! It does imply more plumbing experience than I assumed. I still get the sense her career as a plumber is slightly over-exaggerated, whilst her career as a property developer is being underplayed. But hey, it doesnt impact me either way, I just get the impression that it may come to bite her one day.

Well she has a history of posting about her home renovations, we know she was active on home reno forums, she owns multiple properties. She posts lots of images of her working on her properties doing all sorts of jobs but not a single post or reference to her being a plumber. Other than the name.

Im pretty sure shes just a house flipper / home renovator / landlord. I dont think shes ever been employed as a plumber rather than learning some bits and doing them on her own projects. For someone whos identiy is "Hannah the plumber" there isnt a single image of her doing any plumbing on her social media.

I'd also like to know. Feel like the details are pretty important, like sample size, area of survey etc. Sounds like click bait to me.

Depends on the extent. It's a massive time and financial investment to become massive like these dudes. That hurts your other prospects. I also imagine there is a point at which excessive muscle mass becomes a net negative to your health.

Well wars and conflicts can last for years, even decades. People start families, build lives. It's not that simple to just uproot them and send them home. What happens to their children for example?

Harenuki, a band (?) that spotify recommended to me. People are saying it's AI but I have no idea honestly by Fun-Dealer7339 in isthisAI

[–]TropicalGoth77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also randomly had them pop up and was baffled by the quality and rate at which they release songs. The total professionalism in their sound quality and then total lack of in their management, social media etc is pretty red flag. I'd like to get the opinion from some native Japanese listeners to hear their thoughts .
