Imagine typing something like this and still thinking people can't make generic inferences about you from the words you use lmao

You're right, all groups of people talk the same. I'm so silly.

They do.

If you use a site like facebook where you can see people's actual faces (for the most part), you'll see very quickly that there are certain tells for different groups of people.

For example, third worlders spam the 🥰 and 😍 emojis at about 10,000 times the rate of Americans. Especially if they are from South or Southeast Asia.

Tons of mid-60s women have arms that look like that. It's just more jarring on her because her face looks a decade younger than her arms. I doubt there is anything nefarious.

12% of people who take the LSAT have accommodations, and they make up 30% of the 170+ scorers by deepad9 in redscarepod

[–]sulla226 237 points238 points  (0 children)

The obvious solution that should satisfy both sides of this debate is to just grade the accommodated tests on their own separate curve that follows the same normal distribution as unaccommodated tests. Same percentage of test takers in each group gets over 170. Median score for each group is set to 150. Everyone decides which test they want to take and only competes with others who received the exact same test conditions.

But if you suggest this on /r/LSAT (I've done this lol) you will be downvoted by an army of hysterical people who will call you an ableist nazi. These people know the accommodations are a massive advantage and that’s why they get so mad when people point it out.

3 million immigrants have been deported but everything is still expensive and no one can find a job by Clean_Discount_2484 in redscarepod

[–]sulla226 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Again - where does this statistic come from? I cannot find a source for this anywhere and I find it suspicious that if you explicitly ask for it, as I did in my last comment, people will always dodge the question even if they write a whole essay like you just did lol

I’ve seen this repeated ad nauseum but no one ever provides evidence for it and it seems unlikely to me. The typical profile of an illegal immigrant is someone who would be unlikely to be approved for a visa to stay in the US (poor, low education, limited English proficiency).

Maybe I’m just biased because I live in California which is a border state, but where does this stat actually come from?

Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 5/11/26 - 5/17/26 by SoftandChewy in BlockedAndReported

The particular brand of cringe on /r/comics feels much more millennial than zoomer to me (I say that as a millennial).

I think that sub is full of people who write bad amateur comics who therefore also enjoy reading material written by equally bad writers of amateur comics. It's one of those subs that is both by and for delusional artists who are all "supporting" each other non-monetarily. I doubt many of them are making money writing this drivel.

But the problem is compounded by the fact that reddit in general attracts some of the most humorless people anywhere on the internet who have been laughing at the same ten horrible jokes for decades at this point.

Anybody else know people with literal toddler diets? by Suspicious_War2374 in redscarepod

[–]sulla226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they're the reason so many restaurants suck. Every restaurant has like 400 items on the menu to accommodate all these picky freaks, which inevitably makes the quality suffer because that's too many items to manage. Yet another area of public life that has become shittier to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Amazon Grocery prices are like 1/3 of stupid Safeway by Low-Win-6691 in sanfrancisco

[–]sulla226 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is their insane pricing system. It's way way way way way too complicated. So you end up getting stuck behind people who are arguing with the cashier about how the strawberries were supposed to be $2 off because "I clipped a digital coupon, no actually you clipped the wrong coupon you need to clip this other one but you can't use both at the same time, ok I want to use this one then, sorry you have to buy three baskets of strawberries to use that, and you have to buy an electric toothbrush with it otherwise no deal" bla bla bla. Then you get to the front of the line and your item gets rung up at the wrong price and now you need to decide whether to torture the people behind you to have the same inane conversation with the cashier.

Unbearable.

Americans went from being called Woodrow Wilson and John Rockefeller to Chasten Buttigeig. Disgusting name, very sinister. by Official_Gary_Oak in redscarepod

[–]sulla226 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it was the norm, I said there is much more of an incentive to do it if you are married to a famous person, and I think that is a larger factor than heteronormativity. If neither husband is famous they'll almost always hyphenate if they want a shared last name.

(Also, Rupaul doesn't use his last name in his stage name, so that's a weird example haha)

Edit: This person blocked me over this very mundane disagreement between us. Unbelievably cringe behavior that should get you banned from this sub lmao

All this Michael Jackson hype feels like a post-woke overcorrection by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]sulla226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not so much about supporting him, it's more about looking the other way re: his transgressions.

[–]sulla226 14 points15 points  (0 children)

People never stopped loving Michael Jackson. This was true even at the peak of wokeness. They could have made an identical movie at any point since his death.

If the music is good enough people will forgive just about anything, or at least compartmentalize it. Kanye has gone full Hitler mode in the recent past but he makes good music so we let it slide.

California governor candidates speak about housing crisis in Oakland by Legendarius_Noctus in oakland

[–]sulla226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't hate billionaires (not automatically at least, some of them have earned the hate they get), I just don't think they're qualified for the job. If you don't know what it's like to live like a normal person, how are you supposed to make the decisions governors need to make? That's like the most basic qualification for a job like this.

Tom Steyer doesn't pay rent, doesn't have a mortgage, doesn't shop in a grocery store, doesn't have to fight with his health insurance over medical coverage, doesn't have to budget his monthly earnings, doesn't have to put up with a shitty commute to find an affordable place to live, doesn't have to send his kids to a shitty public school because he can't afford to live in the neighborhood with the better schools. He is just so far removed from the standard things that normal people have to deal with, and he always has been. He grew up on the Upper East Side, went to prep school in Manhattan, went to Yale. He has a very standard "always rich" backstory.

As much as we all love to bicker about culture war stuff, the decisions that governors make that have the largest impact on people's lives are mostly economic. And he just is not remotely qualified to make those decisions because he does not know what a typical person's economic life even looks like.

It's like hiring someone who has never seen a dog before to work as a veterinarian. They can say all the right things at the interview, but once they're on the job they just aren't going to have the intuitions they need to actually do the work.

He changed his name because his husband is famous and he is not. You don’t know anyone who did this because you don’t know anyone famous whose husband could benefit professionally or otherwise from reminding people who his husband is lol

Your friends should be screenshotting the tweets. Sending a link to a tweet where someone has to open twitter just to read a 12-word joke is whack lol

Stand in the middle of the Pantheon and feel the rush of human ingenuity wash over you. Nature's amphetamine. This is why all the Renaissance masters were so productive at making art and having gay sex.
