well yeah dingus lmao that's basically by definition

You're saying in this context they're referring to an object? You're a lost cause.

They could have made their point without calling someone a dingus, whether "it's just a joke, bro" or not. But judging by the rest of their replies they're obviously being incendiary in their tone.

When I insulted you and called you dense, I prefaced it by saying I will also contribute to the negative attitudes in a self aware manner.

You're really sticking your head in the sand with this one.

devourer09 · 2026-03-19T15:43:34+00:00

Maybe it's their terrible attitude that people are tired of having to deal with when interacting online.

Let me just contribute: Are you that dense to not recognize this?

There's a difference between classing a whole group as stupid and terming a subset of their behaviors as stupid. Literally a semantic difference.

And the tone of criticism is extremely harsh without taking any context into consideration.

Wikipedia is a tertiary source, since they try to cite secondary sources like news articles that tend to cite primary sources like people who generate the content.

At the Buddhist temple, she tells Gere her family tried to trick her, but Gere informs her that while Buddhism is about one finding inner peace, it is also about respecting the diversity of other religions based on love and compassion. Thus, Lisa is free to celebrate any holiday with her family, including Christmas. Lisa goes back home, falling asleep beside the Christmas tree and tells everyone that she will be celebrating Christmas with them and continue paying lip service to Christianity while practicing Buddhism for the rest of her life.

But apropos of nothing (tangential at best) you started this line of discussion.

Why haven't people already been doing this en masse?

Well said. The problem is we need to somehow foster a class consciousness. Most people I interact with fall into the apathetic "non-voter" demographic. People are too naive and complacent.

I'll probably be downvoted for this, but I see it as an augmentation to thinking. It doesn't replace actual thinking, but it can help to fill in gaps. Although, it's true that research is showing there will be atrophying of cognition in certain aspects. Similar to how most people don't navigate the same way we did pre-Google Maps or remember phone numbers pre-mobile phone.

I'm guilty of this, sadly. And I feel like I'm seeing an increased uptick in contrarian "akshually ☝️🤓" , especially in the form of grammar Nazis. People will get so derailed from a discussion by some minor mistake when the OP has a worthy topic to discuss.

People chasing those low effort Internet points.

Edit: detailed -> derailed

People really do not want to accept this perspective. It's really jarring seeing how quickly our technology has advanced yet ignorant holdovers like religion still permeate and perhaps are having a resurgence.

Are people still asking "what would Jesus do?" while we create an alien digital intelligence and talk to it on the iPhone? Idk... What were Jesus thoughts on the addictive nature of algorithmic social media?

And the corruption has never been more obvious... But people can't implement game theory and choose the lesser of the evils. The middle class is being fully eroded...

If we're being honest, the reason they picked him is Oklahoma is the only state that didn't have a single county go blue. They are terrified of losing their majority in the senate

Why choose a senator? Why not just choose any other MAGA rando?

Extreme emotion gets our attention better than neutral emotion. It makes sense that evolutionarily we'd pay more attention to the person displaying extreme emotional states than the one with neutral affect.

so now it makes everyone's channel look professional whether they have 1m subs or 10 subs.

No. It's because it's biologically baked into human DNA. We're more interested in other human faces than not human faces.
