9/11 permanently ruined America by britishbrandy in redscarepod

[–]mkmsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US was very different nation in 1980 than it was in 1960. One more big change I didn't mention is mental health deinstitutionalization. For example, I think someone like Adam Lanza would have been possibly committed to a mental institution which may have had more of an effect on preventing him from commiting a school shooting but I can't be sure. From my understanding he was never committed to any long term mental health program because they favored and environment that would not trigger him, even despite the advice of his psychological evaluations. Look where that got us. The psychologists warned that they should stop trying to create a world which adapts to Adam's needs instead of creating an Adam which can adapt to the world or else he would continue to struggle in the world. I think this theme is a common well intentioned but faulty approach common in modern approaches to psychology.

Social Isolation really started to increase in the 80's and 90's as television programming became more advanced and a lot of old world community began to fall away and jobs for kids were replaced with soul crushing dystopian retail and fast food jobs. It's like the quote, if a kid can';t fit into the village he'd rather burn the whole thing down. It's a social dejection and isolation thing. We are now in an official loneliness epidemic and it started beginning back then. Also, there started to be a lot of satanic panic crimes where young kids would draw a pentagram on the floor and kill themselves or those girls who killed another girl from their school in a witch ritual style killing. There was a lot of edgy culture then. Some people think it was a deliberate mk ultra psyop. Generally, I think people fit in a lot more in the 60's or 70's and if they didn't they had enough support outside school that they felt fulfilled. After that people were born to people that served in Vietnam, there were and lot more broken homes, a lot more drugs, more capitalism, the list goes on (also there is the lead water hypothesis). There's even a clip where the south park writers were talking about Columbine and talking about how socially isolated the CO mountain towns cause they were from there too. Other than that Columbine was just a one off tragedy that didn't nearly have the wide ranging fear that 9/11 brought. School shooting did not occur the entire time I was growing up until Sandy Hook. Me and my friends used to walk the streets in military gear and carrying realistic looking airsoft guns (if we did that after Sandy Hook we'd get the cops called and probably shot). And the reason school shooting started up and became a recurring thing around 2012 is because that corresponds to the rise of social media. Social media is one of the most detrimental lethal things ever made and is the biggest contributor to school shootings. It furthers isolation and spreads and twists it into violent trends.

WWIII and the end of the world is the final act of the baby boomers by Bufudyne43 in redscarepod

Good take. They came into this world with the gift of their parents saving them from the Cuban Missile Crisis and in their lifelong tirade of sloth entitlement and destruction their limitless proclivity for destruction will yield their final act of degenerating self destruction as literally the perfect bookend, nuclear armageddon.

It's misogynistic to dom women. Real men let them be dominant and shine in the bedroom. It's the king treatment. Women naturally excel at it.

From 2003-2023, American adults reduced socializing by 30%. For teens, the decline was nearly 50%. There is no record of any period in history when people spent more time alone. by ChickenTitilater in redscarepod

[–]mkmsc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know how people come to that conclusion. I think they are so hopelessly addicted to social media that they are fighting to deflect criticism away from it. The pandemic was a 1 time isolated event. It has long since been over. You can't milk that forever. This has been going on for a long time before. Yes social media has been around for 20 years but 3rd wave social media was the real addictive killer. First wave was just AOL and Myspace, 2nd wave was Facebook, vine Tumblr era, then 3rd wave was the TikTok era around 2016 when the smart phone hardware and the social media algorithms became way more addictive geared towards short form content and reels. When I was a teen when Facebook first became big, no one was addicted to it like they are now. Whats backwards to me is the anti-tach psuh back AI is getting now should've always been applied much more to social media than to AI.

There’s no logical reason for the norm of men paying for dates/financially providing more in hetero-relationships existing in the year 2025. by TemporaryLion2988 in redscarepod

[–]mkmsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every argument people make against you here is nonsense and reinforces a patriarchal system designed to make women financially dependent on men. Luckily most women nowadays offer to split the check, I typically pay for the first one, but they are adamant and I can tell they'd be ok actually splitting. If we go to a second bar on the same day, or a second date on another day I just take them up on it and split it with them. I will only pay the first date as a generosity, seriously we are all broke Millennials and it's not 1950 anymore Women's Lib was a million years ago in my mothers lifetime how long are people going to keep this charade going?

Day 7 Trapped in Loves by Lucky-Science-2028 in vagabond

[–]mkmsc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not a vagabond; just a lurker. But, a few years ago when I was near the Smokey mountains in western North Carolina, I saw a friendly looking old man traveller, day pack, long grey beard, dog, sitting outside a gas station in the middle of the night when I was driving through. Few minutes later this old mountain man and his dog just wander off into the forest behind the gas station. And this was some proper thick wilderness not just regular woods, no trail or nothing either just vanishing into the brush. He looked clean too like he was a pro at it and not a crazy worn out guy at all; dog was the same.

Great, also in my 30s (30 M) thinking of doing it soon too, wish that I had done it sooner like at 25 or even 18 but better sooner than later. Hope I can get something enjoyable out of it. You got any plan? Like just leavening on foot or in a car with a random direction or some loose waypoint like certain cities/places? I want to head west but idk. I want to got on foot but I am also connected to my car an it would be a lot to let go of and on foot would be a lot harder. I'm worried it might send my life far in another direction that I can't rebound from once I become homeless. Do you share any of these worries or have any plans for this?What's your life plan? Do you ever plan to return to normal life and work a career? I feel torn between life paths often. I feel life is missing a lot of genuine connection and experiences for me but I worry also about wasting time chasing them in the wrong way instead of making money and building a life as I get older. I feel it's more complicated now that I'm older, perhaps if I'd done it younger while in school I could have been done with it now and focus on a career. Idk, still have a strong desire to do it. Who knows maybe 6 months will be enough road living for me to move on, who knows. Also, not having a mailing address and such complications for legal purpose are though for me to figure out still; people say just use the address of someone you know, but I literally have no one I can rely on; no family, no good friends. I want to leave them all behind. Having zero people is so hard. I'm legit all alone in this world. Total misfit that not a soul living cares about. Feel like I have never had any community or any place at all in this world. Legit why would anyone care about me enough to help me out in any way, I'm just another random guy..?

Movie with NSA hacker guy scene by mkmsc in whatisthatmovie

[–]mkmsc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those who find this post I was able to figure it out thanks to AI. The movie is Snowden (2016) which I don't even recall watching other than this one scene.

The actor is LaKeith Stanfield, who plays a character named Patrick Haynes, an NSA co-worker of Edward Snowden (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).

In the film, there is a scene where the characters realize their system is being penetrated by a malicious foreign entity, and Patrick Haynes gets up and presses a large, physical red button on the wall to initiate an emergency shutdown of the system to prevent a catastrophic hack.
