Mean world syndrome is a real thing that you should look into tbh. True crimes shows have created a strong culture of fear amongst people. If you are honestly picking a random fucking bear over a random guy then that’s just saying something incredibly sad about the world.

I get the point this makes about women fearing assault but honestly this outlook is incredibly toxic.

I remember seeing a post on r/agedlikemilk which theorised that Russell Brand was leaning more into right wing talking points in anticipation of the looming rape accusations being made public.

I wonder if the same thing is happening here.

My stance is on this is simple. Why don’t people just move on when they see a pitbull instead of feeling the need to copy paste statistics about them.

I doubt they would walk up to someone waking their pitbull and read out their copy pastas lol.

I would say that but too me it’s been apparent since long before lemmy was set up

I know I am late here but I have quite the Christmas story. For Christmas I spent the holidays with my Mom. Over the holidays one of my mom’s neighbours tasked my mom with looking after her cat while she is in Sweden with her son for christmas. My older brother came down with two of his dogs which are loud and very big pit bulls. On Christmas day my Dad came over and got my mom and my sister a puppy (the dog my dad owned got pregnant and had puppies) so there was lots of loud animals around the house. For safety precautions the cat was temporarily moved back into my neighbours house over Christmas with me and my mom checking on him periodically over the next two days until my brother and his two dogs left.

I used to watch all their gang beasts episodes. They were amazing. Lovely to hear they are still around.

Edit: the videos are 9 years old now. Holy fuck.

Funny you mention the MCU because the audience for those movies is practically the same. For everything I’ve read and seen it basically sounds like a animated MCU movie

And nobody actually cares. You’d expect protests whenever something like this comes out? You’d expect people to at least kick up a stink. But, no move on to the next thing. Kinda sad how little outrage there actually is to this shit. Heck, even the general attitude towards this facf from the comments here is “shrugs Well what did you expect”.

That sounds like a cheat code to get diabetes.

Yeah. Keep in mind there is a cold war of sorts in the middle east with Iran and Saudi Arabia and because of that Palestinians have become a Iran coded issue meaning countries allied with Saudi Arabia aren’t taking on the cause anymore.

The funny thing is Varadkar is trying desperately to be a neutral as possible but the Israeli government is literally making it impossible. They are trying to get him to take a more hardline pro zionist stance but there’s very little zionist political power in Ireland. He knows he’ll lose lots of voters if he takes a zionist stance. Israel can’t do shit.

Knee jerk reactions get the best of people. It’s funny how the average Irish person is extremely pro Palestinian yet reacted the same way the average Israeli did after the October 7th attack.

Drew Harris and Helen McEntee need to be removed from their positions ASAP or else there will be a next time and it will be worse. Pretty dang scary just how many people are buying into alt-right ideology in this country.

Leader of the Gardai (Irish police) . This is a massive event in my country.

You can post a fuckton and still be “geniue” like most of my shitposting is shit I see on Instagram. The fact of the matter is if there was no content then this site would go dead. And then you’d leave. Do you see the catch 22 of your attitude? Honestly, you seem like a extremely pretentious person. The kind of person that just looks for a vague idea of perfection and lives in a perpetual state of disappointment when nothing matches it.

Tbf in my humble opinion the Philippines still holds the all time election L for voting in a dictators son over a human rights lawyer.

Teens dating are the norm in most Asian countries what are you on about?

You mean in the middle east where women are basically seen as property in most of those countries. Literally not able to leave the house without a chaperone. Or you mean Asian countries like South Korea which is facing the same issues to such an extent that incel like public policies are bring implemented or Japan which again is facing literally the exact same problems.

I mean you won’t be able to save absolutely everyone but you’d be amazed how many get into abusive relationships because they don’t know any better. Not even just abusive relationships either just relationships were they aren’t valued that much.

Yup. We wonder why young people are committing suicide more often when their entire self worth is based on how good they do in school. You combine that with late stage capitalism necessitating two parents working meaning the child might not even see them that much. More kids are neglected with their grades being the only source of validation. It would help so much of them being taught how to love themselves.
