    Pseudo-Spirituality is a good thing to look out for

    The amount of guys who think the seventh principle of Hermeticism is a reason to be a sexist dick…

    You’re correct. Judging people based on an algorithm your have no way of knowing is indeed a red flag ma’am.

      I think if I was a woman and I saw that a potential mate’s recommended was full of *ndrew t*int videos or similar, I would take it exactly as that: a red flag. Not an immediate condemnation but a sign that something MIGHT be wrong. It could be that they’re watching the videos with a critical mindset, or the algorithm is just doing some wonky shit, but I would probe further just to make sure that they aren’t a raging misogynist

        Yeah I’ll eat crow on that. Tate is in my thumbnails because I’m probably just a little too deep into politics. Maybe not a red flag as much as a bore flag.

        Guilty.

        Having no actual presence on social media is considered “creepy” by modern social standards, instead of what I view it as: more secure.

          as far as i care, having social media makes you more likely to be insane, because of the aggressive amount of influence that these sites and applications hold over people.

          I find avoiding social media helps reduce encounters with the insane side of people who somehow appear to be relatively normal in real life.

          For instance, I actually like my inlaws in real life, despite having some very different views than they do. On Facebook however, they’re complete fucking idiots that I wouldn’t give the time of day because they would just argue with me about it.

            It’s funny, I’m the opposite. In real life, I openly advocate for seizing the means of production and guillotining the rich, but I don’t do that on Facebook because I don’t want to get banned.

            It’s odd how that proxy allows people to act feral. It’s like the behavior of a dog behind a fence.

            Though I’ll admit to trolling a little bit here and there, so maybe I’m not the best example.

            I meant no actual presence on mainstream social media where I’m not using a pseudonym, and exchange profiles with the general public that I meet.

            Forums are not social media. How is this hard to understand. Forums have existed for decades longer than social media and if you include forums in the definition of social media then you literally by definition include every comment section on every blog, news site, and even things like the FCC request for comments from citizens.

            It’s absolutely idiotic to include forums in that definition. You make the definition so wide as to be useless.

              People have gotten confused and declared that any internet based activity that involves interaction is social media. Social media is centered on users (you follow other people, not topics, and people for whatever crazy reason use their real name), whereas there is absolutely no real reason to do that on a forum.

                This is the exact reason I never became interested in Mastodon. Following people just isn’t my style. The only social media I use is YouTube (without an account) because apparently Lemmy isn’t social media.

          Same, but you were talking about NewPipe. I assume you use that on your phone.

          And while you can disable the search history there, too, it often is convenient not to have to type the name of that thing you want to listen to while you’re driving, so many people leave it enabled.

          Maybe smart people, but definitely someone who have probably won’t shut up about one of the following topics:

          1. Linux

          2. Anti corpo

          3. Ads on websites

          None of these are bad or unpopular things, mind you.

          It’s just a sign of someone shifted a liiiittle more extremist.

          They’ll probably nag at you to leave reddit to join their weird website called Lemmy. Maybe insist you use their to a Plex open source jellyfin server that only works 2/3 of the time.

        I’m glad I’m old enough where I can actively pretend like I don’t know how to use technology.

        Like I was at a bar, and some weirdo asked if I was on Facebook and I shrugged and said I don’t understand technology and they go, “Totally makes sense at your age!”

    Not even the wackiest scenario he’s done.

    Bro legit took this one incredibly seriously and talked about the consequences of having to explain sudden freak accident deaths to pre-schoolers and how conspiracy theories would proliferate about Reagan being responsible because supposedly he had pushed for the launch to stay on schedule even when issues came up because the plan was for him to make s phone call to the crew of the ship from the SotU address that year.

    Basically Reagan would go down in pop culture canon as being the man who murdered big bird, and whatever consequences that sprung from that would be the biggest shift vs present timeline instead of the obvious fact that big bird would be canonically dead since all the normal viewers would have seen him go up in a fireball and die.

        I dont think so. I shared this pic in a discord and literally seconds after a couple dudes started asking about the results of that test. I guess we all wonder that because I dont think the percentage of population using flavoured condoms is that high.
