Religions are a cancer to society
But one more than the others
That one unnamed mix of mormonism, scientology, and wahhabism practiced by exactly 6.5 people in France.
Honestly, when I encounter people like that, I just block them and forget that they ever existed.
I usually attempt to either confirm that they are trolling or evil or misinformed, but once I have done, you know, 20% of the amount of effort to get to the bottom of things and I still don’t really feel convinced one way or the other, I just block them.
Oh well, we won’t have any further conversations. Oh darn, oh no.
I only do it in this community because this is the place for it
Yep I’ve had a lot of those. Also people who just want to argue for the sake of arguing. You can tell they don’t really have an interest in the position they’re holding at all. It’s kind of different from ragebaiting? Frustration baiting I guess? They just never listen to reason or deliberately misinterpret what you say to energy vampire the will the argue out of you.
Im pretty sure I fought this guy in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. He is a beast
My genuinely unpopular opinion that I will not be changing: If you are fat, it is your fault. I fully understand (at least to the extant modern research has gone on the matter) the genetic differences in hunger receptors, fat accumulation, serotonin deficiencies from vagus nerve disorders, etc.
All of the above are easily treatable, half of them with OTC medication. If you eat more than the calories necessary to run your body, you will gain weight. There are no phantom calories, you are snacking the whole fucking day.
My genuinely unpopular opinion that I won’t be changing: if you’re fat that’s 100% okay!!! Absolutely no moral condemnation is warranted and anybody being a dick about it is just a mean-spirited cockhead grasping at the shallowest possible ‘justifications’ to feel superior to someone!!!
Where the fuck do Lemmy users get off on thinking they’re as progressive as it gets but the moment women, Muslims or fat people are mentioned they turn into the most concavebrained chuds imaginable who can’t stand it when people who are different to them exist happily as equal members of society??? Pathetic.
I mean it kinda is your fault as in you can change it with enough willpower, but just like with smoking tobacco, constantly being exposed to advertisement and temptation is definitely not your fault and governments need to do something about it.
I’ve heard from recovered meth addicts they’re glad they weren’t alcoholics since you don’t see near constant ads for meth everywhere.
Can’t really say I agree with you.
For one, most people that become obese are overfed as children when they don’t know any better, so blaming them for the obesity that was thrust upon them by heartless and inconsiderate parents, is just like a step too far.
For two, the nutritional content of food has decreased dramatically in the last 40 years, so many people could be induced to overeat due to lack of essential nutrients.
and for three, there is an entire industry of people with PhDs who are paid good money to craft food that never satiates.
People that become obese in the western world are getting hit with a threefer. Adding blame to them on top of that? It’s just too much.
Oh no, poor ignorant supposedly functional adults, totally unable to change anything about their behaviors or learn something new! Awww poor wittle
babiesactual adults.Stop infantilizing people. Shit like this is half the reason there are immature adults that do not know how to take accountability for anything.
Driving a vehicle with extremely loud exhaust through residential areas after midnight should be recognized as an extremely harmful and antisocial behavior and be punished by imprisonment at least for a few weeks.
Why limit it to exhaust? Blaring music is also very bad.
Objectively true. Except 9pm cause I go to bed at a reasonable time to get my proper 8 hours sleep.
How about any time because some people work odd hours or nights.
I was trying not to go “too far” and be called ragebait, but I agree.
ALL noisy cars need to fuck off, whether they came from the factory like that, or you installed some “thing”.
Also fuck the guy around the corner with a dilapidated house but a new Harley in the driveway, revving it whenever someone walks by. I can see your attic through your missing shingles, my guy.
nah, screw them
/j
I was gonna say that guy looked familiar.
He’s famous!
Lunar landing deniers are worse for the gene pool than people with Down’s syndrome.
Can’t land on the moon if the earth is flat! Checkmate! /s
How about anyone from this video.
Yeah I could see that
This explains most of your posts
Thank you
I mean it can be both
Past a certain age, you can’t tell if someone is rage baiting or just fed up with life
You mean it’s normal?
What if people on lemmy shitpost are suffering from long bouts of constipation and not realizing they are taking things way to seriously?
Some are
Offer them some water soluble fiber.
How did you turn my phone screen into a mirror?
No one is actually going to post a controversial opinion in this thread, because lemmy is just as bad as reddit at cultivating groupthink, if not worse.
Also, while unfettered capitalism certainly deserves some criticism, anyone here criticising it is mostly just creating an untouchable boogeyman to blame for their problems so they don’t have to admit that they could actually be happy and successful if they tried. Anyone who was seriously trying to create a post-capitalist world would be organizing their neighbors in real life, and would rightly see lemmy as a waste of valueable time.
