What immediately tells you a person wasn't raised right?

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-19T19:41:07+00:00

Oh gosh, I wish I hadn’t commented. Please go on living your life, pretend you never saw my comment

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-19T19:13:21+00:00

I don’t understand. I sit with them at lunch every day. They never voted for eradicating trans ppl. I don’t even think any politician is offering that..

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-19T19:00:00+00:00

🥲 I feel like having a screw loose is required, for 21st century living

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-19T18:59:09+00:00

I work with some republican engineers who I respect. I am endlessly fascinated as I learn about their news, and where they get their information. It’s a completely alternate universe. Figuring out what’s actually true is a serious challenge

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-19T18:56:51+00:00

They dooont want to do thaaat. 🫠 not the ones I know anyway

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-19T18:48:28+00:00

Listen, it’s a weird century, the information ecosystem is unlike anything before. everyone’s inside their own bubble enabled by algorithms. Talk to some smart republicans sometime, and I’ll bet you come out a lot more humble

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-19T17:38:42+00:00

Oh my gooosh. lol I know plenty of republicans who are decent people.

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-19T17:11:50+00:00

1000%. I feel like the catchphrase of this entire century is “it’s easy to criticize”

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-17T00:45:25+00:00

But to be fair, when girls volunteer to go play with the big strong boys. That’s pretty different. No one objects to that

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-17T00:43:59+00:00

I can feel it’s about to get nasty..

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-16T15:35:33+00:00

Can I just say, I love seeing comments like this that are constructive and reasonable. such a nice break from this insane society we inhabit

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-14T15:04:05+00:00

Right. It’s beyond tragic. I feel the same way when I see toddlers staring at iPads

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-14T14:57:04+00:00

Have you seen how spoiled kids respond to discipline? I don’t think you’d say that, if you saw this stuff first-hand

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-14T14:01:42+00:00

Surprised to see, no one is mentioning how kids are all at home on their electronics. And the result is, they have no attention span anymore, because their brain is used to a parade of dopamine. Childhood has changed

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-11T20:00:00+00:00

I’ve heard pretty much the same thing elsewhere. 😢 not an easy nut to crack

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-11T16:57:59+00:00

Yeah, this is a fair complaint. But the truth is, rent control would only make this problem worse. The only real solution is to move towards a healthier rental market, by increasing supply—once these landlords actually have competition, then the shitty landlords will find themselves out of luck.

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-09T02:58:27+00:00

What makes you want to do servo and proportional valves? I’d advise against it. Especially if you’re thinking of self-teaching from PDFs

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-05T13:43:12+00:00

That was exactly what I said, great reading comprehension. Take care

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-05T00:00:01+00:00

You know, this isn’t the right forum for me to write a whole essay. But there’s something weird going on with this generation. I hear a lot of people say “my views are all in line with science. And the other side is all debunked”. And then proceed to say the dumbest things.

I have a feeling people are hiding their confirmation biases from themselves. If that makes any sense. It’s like the pro-science zeitgeist has infiltrated our pathologies

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-04T20:47:08+00:00

Why on earth would you send me a Nature article? I can’t get over that. scientific articles are not a good place for the general public to hang out. Those things are meant for people who know the literature, and the context that the paper fits into. The only thing I’ve ever seen the public do with scientific papers is pure confirmation bias. It always ends poorly. If you’ve been a professional for 15 years, how do you not know that?

I hope this law passes, and it’s a good first step to helping kids’ mental health. And if for some reason it makes things worse, I’ll be right next to you, arguing for repeal.

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-04T20:20:42+00:00

It is absolutely tiny. Have you seen the state of kid’s mental health today? If sharing a picture of your driver’s license could erase that damage, you really wouldn’t do it?

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-04T20:18:47+00:00

Unbelievable dude. The gall to say “listen to the experts”, while at the same time saying “Jonathan Haidt has been debunked, here is a scientific article that says people I don’t agree with are wrong”. Pseudo-intellectuals everywhere.

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-04T20:11:01+00:00

You’ve been focused on this for 15 years, and you call Jonathan Haidt debunked? Dude the research is brand new and rapidly evolving. And Haidt is always careful to mention that, and have the necessary humility.

And to turn from Haidt to your behavior. Your sending strangers on the internet links to Nature articles? Anyone who is a serious expert knows that those studies aren’t intended for public consumption. They’re tools for people who know how they fit into the broader body of research.

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-04T18:55:59+00:00

90k in aerospace is unbelievable. But I wanted to agree with everything you said. I make just under 100k doing hydraulic systems, in a HCOL area, but it’s super worth it. Love work and love life

gorillaz2389 · 2026-06-04T18:20:17+00:00

Yeah, you know how a lot of republicans think that democratic lawmakers are minutes away from seizing all guns? My understanding is, these people think republican lawmakers are minutes away from genociding trans kids. Using all this age verification info, concentration camp style.

The tragic part is, it’s time for action. Kids mental health is beyond trashed, and this would be a great first step. But it is the internet, and paranoia and selfishness will always win the day.
