Seems like the kind of post I’d expect your average showerthought-enjoyer to not mind seeing on their feed.

EDIT: I’m up for philosophical thoughts community though

I’m glad you atleast got home.

Probably in the ice bath

In my view stupidity is about how one thinks, not what they know.

Few of my customer’s homes have been improved a bit. Mine not so much.

Agreed. Lets apply that to politics too while we’re at it.

I moved from Instagram to Pixelfed around a year ago and went from barely anyone seeing my photography to literally no one seeing it.

I consider myself unlikeable as well but all my real life interactions with other people indicate otherwise. At some point the pile of evidence to the contrary stacks so high that I need to consider wether I might be wrong. Not there yet though.

If you don’t want to deal with life then you can just end it for yourself. No need to take the rest of the humanity with you.

This is the best platform for constant live updates about what the people you don’t like are up to. Then there’s articles about everything that’s wrong in the world and also some memes - mostly political.

the other guy isn’t really trying to learn anything or even to change your mind. He’s acting for an audience of people who already agree with him.

This is why I argue that votes should be hidden from everyone. Audience capture is one of the biggest issues on platforms like Lemmy. Many users feel like they’ve “won” an argument simply because their broad, nuance-free generalizations get upvoted by the masses.

To add to your point about avoiding engagement with certain types of users, one thing I’ve noticed that really sets some people off is when they take something I’ve said, draw their own extreme conclusions from it, and then start accusing me of something completely untrue. Instead of defending myself against these ridiculous accusations, I now either ignore them or stick firmly to the original point.

What’s fascinating is how often they double down, repeatedly trying to get me to explain why I’m not, for example, a Nazi. When I refuse to entertain their absurd line of reasoning, they seem to lose their minds.

Blocking on Lemmy doesn’t prevent them from seeing your “reasonable” takes. It just hides that user’s messages from you. They wont even know you have blocked them.

When you think you’re paying attention to more than one thing at a time you’re actually not paying attention to anything.

I don’t think that tops the content on rotten.com

I have a strong feeling that if we were to re-live the 90’s right now we’d quickly realise it wasn’t so “innocent” after all. People just had thicker skin back then and recreational outrage wasn’t really a thing due to how slow news and trends speaded at the age of early internet.

My instagram profile says that I have moved to Pixelfed and has a link to my Pixelfed profile. It has been up for over a year.

A contrarian isn’t one who always objects — that’s a confirmist of a different sort. A contrarian reasons independently, from the ground up, and resists pressure to conform.

Yay murder!

I’m not claiming that I or the world doesn’t exist. I’m just aknowledging that that is a possibility. Who knows, maybe I do live in a simulation. This however doesn’t take away the fact that it feels like something to be simulated. That is the undeniable fact of my subjective experience that cannot be an illusion. Everything else is up for debate.

Count as what?
