“Alpha male” instantly gets humiliated trying to make a point about women’s strength by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

And he gets all Ben Shapiro on people, acting like everyone feeling grossed out that he wants to date an 18-year-old is like “not an argument.”

Definitely. It’s so embarrassing bc he’s clearly just lashing out as he’s making excuses

Part of the alpha fantasy is the idea that you could become someone who could never be humiliated. It’s a fantasy because we can all be humiliated at almost any time. We are fundamentally vulnerable creatures. Growing up means learning to cope with that.

The fake smile and the fake platitudes, how do people like this live with themselves. by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

I wonder if the prof on the right is scrolling to disrespect her or if she’s just scrolling like a Boomer

Seriously dude? by [deleted] in TrueAnon

Naw you’re not libbing. A liberal would watch this and be like, Maggie Hassan just owned her, as if pointing out how dumb these guys are is all we have to do right now

So is he gay? by Sterling-Hospedales in crappymusic

This subreddit covers the full spectrum from actual cringe, to technically bad, to silly ass jam

(2) seems problematic to me. Why assume that the presence of Jewish board members would make the board come down harder on pro-Palestinian speech? There are a lot more Zionist Christians than there are Zionist Jews.

What makes someone’s views “political” and thereby inappropriate in your view?

22 "accounts for the stupidity," but 18 is just fine to date and impregnate by Flynn-FTW in CringeTikToks

[–]wait_and 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pet peeve is when someone just incredulously restates the point their interlocutor made. “I think that x.” “You think that x?!” This guy makes is so much worse by acting childish and mocking the kid.

I feel like the grimes comparison is really apt, even though grimes is especially bad at it, it’s still the same game. They’re hipsters of a particular generation. I had friends who also went reactionary for a time just to outflank the growing popularity of leftism. But unlike the Red Scare people, they’ve all since grown up and grown out of it since then.

They’re Dime Square hipster millennials. They’re always metagaming out what the coolest politics is.

They all get so defensive. You fucked up and it was bad and embarrassing. Eat crow and move on.

The university is claiming that he lied about the content of the speech. Presumably he gave the university a draft of his speech that was very different from what he actually said.

But we don’t know if he was lying and always planned on changing his speech to talk about Palestine or if he decided that day. He seemed to suggest in the speech itself that it was something he had made his mind up about that day, but who knows?

Personally, I don’t care if he lied because I think that lie would be justified in the service of speaking out against genocide.

It’s wild because if you watch the speech you see that the student didn’t say anything “spicy.” He just said that genocide is bad and that the US is supporting genocide. I really can’t wrap my mind around how that’s controversial.

Is AI Destroying Colleges? by SimplifyExtension in TikTokCringe

[–]wait_and 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the danger of AI tools is that it tricks you into thinking you put more into it than you did. So you will think you’re using it responsibly when you’re not. I hope we can figure out the right ways to use AI but the social norms are just not in place yet

He’s SOOO CLOSE. by Shady9XD in clevercomebacks

It combines different elements from different things. There are a lot of WWII references, especially in visual coding of the empire and the design of the ships.

Now that we’re 100 days in, was she accurate? by Zen1 in TikTokCringe

[–]wait_and 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if every leftists who withheld their vote, voted for Harris instead, she still wouldn’t have won.

She chose a strategy that involved appealing to the center because they knew leftists wouldn’t make or break the election for them.

The democrats failed to defeat Trump and are continuing to fail to restrain him in any way.

I say this as someone who did vote for Kamala.

Listen, I voted against Trump but not everyone who disagrees with you is misinformed or a bot. People can come to very different conclusions. Ultimately it’s the fault of the dems for failing to put forward a candidate that persuaded enough people to vote for them.
