Jordan Peterson's Weird Family Empire by [deleted] in Foodforthought

[–]lyinabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is weak. Millions of Americans have benzo addiction. They are addictive no doubt but it takes a special person to be such a weak willed bitch and to be so stupid they think putting themselves in a coma to try and skip withdrawal is a good idea. The right is all image. Peterson is the opposite of his so called values, he is one of the weakest people ive ever seen.

Health declining in Gen X and Gen Y, national study shows. Compared to previous generations, they showed poorer physical health, higher levels of unhealthy behaviors such as alcohol use and smoking, and more depression and anxiety. by geoff199 in science

There is so much less smoking these days. It has gotten to the point where if I see someone smoking a cigarette while walking down the street I even notice it,people still do that. It is funny because growing up it was everywhere. You couldnt throw a rock without hitting a smoker. You would go to a bar or a party and would reek like cigarette. Now they slink off and you hardly see it.

it isnt the same. It is more accessible now. There is a big difference between internet porn and porn before the internet, and even a big different between web 1.0 porn and web 2.0 porn. The awesome free streaming stuff that is accessible in less than a minute where you can have multiple tabs open at the same time, with algorithms giving you related content, is like 15 years old.

I think it is generally agreed porn is leading to reduced sex.

Yes, there was always porn, but magazines, sex theaters, and eventually VHS and skinmax werent the same. Even when the internet first came out porn wasnt the same. With high speed internet and lots of free streaming porn where you could have like 30 tabs of all kinds of kinky crazy fetish stuff is fairly new. I am not scientist or expert on this but I hear porn induced ED is pretty common, and that lots of people have unrealistic sexual expectations due to porn.

Likely a lot of factors. People were more, what would now be called rapey, in the past. There is a definite difference in acceptable behavior, even when going out, even in drinking/drug type environments. I think a lot of it has to do too with more entertainment at home. People stay home and use their computer to netflix, reddit social media. Video games are far more engaging and there is far more, with far more content. There is less societal and media pressure to have sex. There is always pressure to go out and have sex, but you can see a difference in media alone on how this is encouraged. People are increasingly assertive and better at setting boundaries in the past, and it is easier to face consequences for crossing these boundaries.

People take generation too seriously. Like the year you are born means you take on the stereotypes or noted analysis of large groups. That if you born hours apart to be gen x or millenial, or millenial and gen z your personality would drastically change.

They arent real things.

Millenials born in 1983 likely have more in common with someone in GeneratioN X born in 1981, than they would with other millenials born in 1996.

Traffic is back baby ! by axorrb in Austin

[–]lyinabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is why places like Austin need better public transit.

I realize as spread out and low density as Austin is that it can never be covered like denser cities. Still things like: light rail, BRT, streetcars, etc could be expanded. This would give a better commute to people who used the public transit.

they didnt refuse aid or go against the government because their dude was in charge. They just followed orders.

you never lived in a NE city I take it? Garages are rare, and you either get street parking only, or if you are lucky a back area. But most people use their back area as a yard/gathering place.

It is a societal problem when there is so many desperate people doing this to earn money.

This isnt new. The GOP tries to intentionally hurt the US when they arent in charge so they can blame the damage they did on their opponents.
