I think you probably need some professional help, and also I think the way you look at social media is very different from how others look at social media.
Reddit isn’t Wikipedia or any type of online encyclopedia. It’s social media. It’s Twitter, it’s Facebook, it’s TikTok, etc
I don’t think anyone cares that she’s fat, but it sounds like she lied about her weight in a situation where it was important to tell the truth.
Your argument is like saying it’s insensitive to people with addiction issues if a cop pulls over an alcoholic and asks if he’s had anything to drink and he says ‘nope’
It’s a safety issue, it’s not bigotry
Tech bros being sexist, gropey scumbags
I’m shocked
This is very sad, and preventable.
Reading the article it sounds like this woman unfortunately just spent too much time on social media reading all the doom and gloom of the media and people amplifying it in places like reddit, Twitter and Facebook.
wanted to live in a land disconnected from the world, which she viewed as chaotic and dangerous
she and her teenage son could be happy and safe away from the news, the viruses, the politics of modern-day America
had been “discouraged with the state of the world”
Rebecca Vance’s fears intensified during the pandemic
Consuming too much of this crap has really affected peoples mental health, from Trump, to BLM riots, racism, covid, it’s broken some people who spend too much time on social media.
So much so that they think the only way out is to hide away from society.
Reminder, friends, to take frequent and extensive breaks from social media for your own mental health.
Hasn’t Twitter had the same problem for years?
I think it might be time to advocate for individual ownership of our own ‘data’
I don’t see any good reason why our data isn’t protected under law and any attempt to monetize should be done through contracts to each person who’s data is being used and payments made to those people
There are a ton of bots here too. I think most posts are made by bots anyway
The internet kind sucks, honestly. Can’t really believe anything you see is an actual person
Back in my day, we used to call ‘prompt engineering’ ‘asking a question’.
Right, you have the correct outlook on it.
The people who see it differently have spent too much time online and have been taught to look for these things and then work to get them changed.
Do what you do with all of the trolls and just ignore them and they will go away
A PC or a Console arent analogous to human beings. A PC gamer is not a race, it’s a joke about being a superior platform.
In my opinion, there is no way the community should even be entertaining the idea of changing the name.
The name has meaning to the community, it’s really only the political landscape that has changed (very recently) where people are way too over sensitive and the vocal minority of complainers have somehow managed to force people to bend to their feigned outrage.
If anyone has a sense of humour, they wouldn’t look twice at the name and think “oh these people love Hitler and must be dog whistling nazism” (to use some of their buzzwords)
Don’t give in or even acknowledge the whiners, that’s what they want. It’s like a new form of outrage trolling.
Just ignore them
A lot of those people are here too, trying to recreate that outrage machine
Fuck employers, everything is TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE
