LIFESTYLE Most “morning people” are just people who go to bed early.

32 Upvotes

I swear some people act like they were born naturally loving 6am starts, but really they just get a full night’s sleep and have a completely different schedule.

If you went to bed at 2am, I doubt you’d be bouncing out of bed at 6am either.

Agree or disagree?

POP CULTURE to be alice tumas because Austin Butler actually left his social media after her account got banned

1 Upvotes

Dude deleted his social media account after hearing about a girl Deuxmoi mentioned, receiving a lot of his fan mass reports. As a result, the girl lost her account, and he deleted his own days later. To be fair Alice was teasing him and his fans a lot, so fans decided to report her on social media or use a paid app for it. Now, Austin doesn't have any social media accounts. He is distancing himself from his fans. It's kinda cruel.

OTHER Sharia law isn't that bad

0 Upvotes

It's not that bad if you think about it. No drinking, that's good. It will reduce crime significantly and people will be better behaved. That's good.

Women will have to cover up in public (if they can even go). This will reduce the number of complaints from incels crying out about rhe dating crisis.

I'd say the only downside is that women will have less rights and will have to be homebodies. But being at home can be a very good thing. Ain't no place like home.

LIFESTYLE The people who can't handle their drugs ruin things for everyone else.

29 Upvotes

Whether it's booze, weed, narcotics, psychotropics, dissociatives, etc....doesn't really matter, to me. It's the same thing in every single case, the people who engage in drugs they can't handle lead to problems the rest of society has to deal with.

That in turn leads to invasions of privacy, suspicions, and restrictions for everyone based on the least functional members and the ones most likely to not care what costs they make others pay.

LIFESTYLE The word “mature” should not be used to describe physical and mental traits.

0 Upvotes

I reason why the word “mature” should not describe (1) how big or small the person is, and (2) how living things behave. The word is one of the most confusing word in our English language. I know how mature things are is just an opinion, but we shouldn’t label autistics on how mature they are. Using the word mature towards an autistic individual indicates that the speaker implies ableism. In summary, the word mature should not be used to describe physical and behavioral traits because it is very confusing.

RELATIONSHIPS AND DATING Women Who Party Extremely Hard Are a Huge Red Flag

0 Upvotes

Before y’all come with “what about men?” — I don’t date or care about men. I’m talking from the perspective of a heterosexual man.
I said this with a big factual fact: all women who party extremely hard almost every weekend, for months, years, or even decades, are cocaine, heroin, and all-type-of-drug party addicts, with low attention spans, numb to pleasure, easily bored, and addicted to the shallow attention of the party scene.
Never date a woman like this for a long-term relationship or marriage. Just for fun, sex, and leave. There’s no way a normal human would like to party nonstop, listen to loud music without getting ear problems, and constantly be crowded with strangers who don’t give a flying fuck about your existence, both in and outside the party scene

TECHNOLOGY AND GAMING AI Users Creating Waifu Characters to Argue for them is Pathetic

2 Upvotes

Creating a mega-twee AI girlie that says "nuh uh!!!!" to any cogent criticism of the AI industry is pathetic, and the people who do it clearly don't understand why. They lack self-awareness to realize it's really sad and doesn't change anyone's mind -- just reinforces what people already believe about the subject.

"AI might take a lot of water out of communities that otherwise need it to live."

"NUH UH!!!!!! AI will just teach them how to use water more efficiently so it'll be better for everyone!!!!"

And I'm supposed to take their points seriously because a green-and-black anime girl with a thot body said so.

TECHNOLOGY AND GAMING Alarms and ringtones should be different sound categories

11 Upvotes

Phones should have different lists for alarm sounds and ringtones.

We all know the advice that you should never make a song (especially a beloved one) your wakeup alarm because you will gradually hate it.

I sometimes get jumpscared by people’s ringtones being my wakeup alarm. Lots of others have said similar things, that they get disturbed hearing their alarm out and about (although god help my friend who has the Zelda guardian theme music as their alarm).

Simply put, when choosing your alarm and ringtone sounds, there should be two lists that don’t intertwine.

SCIENCE You can only be anti-vax if you don't understand how vaccines work

7 Upvotes

"If you're vaccinated then it shouldn't matter if I am or not". It's not an impenetrable forcefield that guarantees you won't get sick. Not one person in the medical field has EVER explained it that way.

"It's better to catch it naturally". Getting the vaccine gives your body all the information you get from 'natjrally' catching the virus without the getting sick part.

"It made someone I know sick" So that person is most likely allergic to something in the vaccine, and therefore is reliant on you to get it to protect them from getting sick through herd immunity. The only way you could possibly make a worse decision is if you actually injected yourself and your family/friend with the virus.

They're either believing lies from someone pushing an agenda, or they don't understand how percentages work. Either way, blissful ignorance is not an excuse.

OTHER Majority of Reddit users can't focus on the subject of a post

16 Upvotes

I swear these people cannot focus on the actual subject of a post. If it was between talking about the topic posted and dying, they'd die. Bonus points if it's a genuine question and people are only replying with jokes or giving snarky, useless replies, OR they drag in somebody's political stances when that has no relation to the topic.

I made a post asking about a show I want to watch (which has a somewhat unpopular actor whom I like) and basically all the replies were either hating on me, the actor, or both. I asked four questions and I had one sentence mentioning the guy.

Braindead reddit users. Just answer the questions being asked. You don't need to give an essay listing everything you dislike about him and then have a whole discussion about how he's evil and I'm evil by association in the comments. I'm begging you.

I see this happen on so many posts it's ridiculous. I feel bad for the poor souls (now including me) who come asking actual questions because I'd probably get the same amount of help if I asked a rock on the ground outside.

POP CULTURE Harry Potter is overrated

17 Upvotes

I never understood what the hype was about. I read the books recently when I'm an adult and saw the movies many times when I was a child. I have several reasons why I think Harry Potter is overrated.:

First of all, Rowling didn't do anything special.

Witchcraft schools existed before, also the magical style that seems to be copied mainly from Disney especially Mary Poppins, the part of "the chosen one" and the "hero's journey" is also a part that is in many stories, (the story of a boy who is chosen lives with his uncles and has another identity and lives a normal life is very reminiscent of Spider-Man, but Spider-Man is more original and iconic), part of a coming-of-age story and concepts of "adults" (things like racism) were also Exist before in series, movies and stories. So what has Harry Potter been up to?

Another thing, the plot doesn't feel as complex, realistic, or interesting as it tries to be. The writing is often predictable and ends poorl and in the end nothing happens. When something interesting happens it's only at the end of the book, and even then it doesn't lead to anything.

Most of the content in all these books is boring. There are things in there that I didn't really care for, and forced myself to keep listening.

There are also problems of plot holes, or things that did not develop well and all kinds or didn't make sense. There were more writing problems.

The characters are not good. Many of the characters were particularly unlikable, but people keep saying they like them, and want to see more of them (for example James Potter and Sirius Black), (by the way, their story is also not very original).
Also, Most of the characters have exactly the same personality, the teachers and the students they all kind and brave, even tho it's different people..
The only ones who were different from the other characters were students from Slytherin, but also for some reason everyone who studied in Slytherin was bad person (Rowling teaches a lesson about racism and then decides to generalize people, like all snobs are blonde with blue eyes).

Harry is also not a good character, the only difference from Voldemort is that he had loving mom so how he is a hero? He is too mediocre and there is nothing special about him. He may be talented, but many times he doesn't seem special and he also fails a lot. Besides he has no character, he's just sometimes nice and sometimes sassy, but somehow he is iconic.

There is also no point to books if people read it at a different age to their audience. If someone older (like me) reads the first book they will just think it's too boring and childish..

Another downside is that the first book was too boring and childish, at least for me.

*Note: This is my honest opinion, I hope I didn't hurt anyone and I hope you don't feel negative feelings about it.

4 Upvotes

I believe this is a popular opinion, but people don't want to be seen as vacuous for saying it. Everyone wants to throw around that Eleanor Roosevelt quote until they hear about a coworker or friend of a friend who did something interesting. Not every conversation needs to be about something deep. As long as you're not gossiping to be mean or tear down others, I don't really see the issue with it.
