If you want people to put effort into talking to you, you need to reciprocate, or they will block you and move on.

borf@lemmynsfw.comto politics @lemmy.world•Fascist thugs upset to learn being a fascist isn't as fun as they thought it would beEnglish31·10 days agoThe hopium psychology behind the article: “see, some are leaving out of conscience! Even these sadistic brutes aren’t on board to help conduct a holocaust on American soil!”
Reality: the most brutal and psychopathic brownshirts are self-selecting and they’re actively pushing out anybody who would hamper their cruelty. They have the budget and the numbers to sustain much higher attrition levels
Is it the beliefs?
Can you imagine a religious organization that an atheist would find problem-free if only they had the right beliefs? Why or why not?
The dogmatism?
Since you’re asking, I suppose you’re positing that some forms of dogmatism are good? I would like to hear some of your thoughts on what good dogmatism looks like. Otherwise, why would you ask if dogmatism is a problem?
The epistemology?
Again, I’m confused by your question. Religions don’t have a single unified epistemology. What are you asking and what do you posit or conjecture?
That carpet hungers and will continue to exact its toll as long as you insist on eating over it
borf@lemmynsfw.comto politics @lemmy.world•Trump has pushed us to the brink of recession, fascism, and World War IIIEnglish7·12 days agoI love* that the prescribed way for conservatives to complain about Trump is to preface with “Kamala would have been infinitely worse, but…”
* I do not love this
borf@lemmynsfw.comto Mental Health@lemmy.world•‘An uphill battle’: why are midlife men struggling to make – and keep – friends?English244·16 days agoAs a straight man, every straight man I’ve ever been friends with has eventually simply made me so tired to be around them.
Like, times are hard. But then we just collectively… have unmet needs, and so many of us deal so badly with them. It just seems like straight men inevitably make it everyone else’s problem.
I have heard the same old thing so many times-- to have a friend, be a friend. Reach out. Listen, be empathetic, blah blah blah. And I wind up hanging out with some douchebag thinking to myself why am I in the same room with this fucking guy. Before I know it he’s drunk or desperate for a long, long hug from being so touch starved, or he lets his guard down and casually says some slur. I don’t have the patience to be friends with straight men. I don’t have the patience to start to try.

borf@lemmynsfw.comtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Bernie is asking you. That's all hes got. Sorry guys, no one else can do it.English31·20 days agoYes, that’s the entire point of it all. If you don’t want humans to send expensive signals to each other, you need to remove their incentives to do so. As long as billionaires and the institution of marriage exist, human happiness and wellbeing will forever be ground up and burned in service of demonstrating that some people are more special than everyone else
borf@lemmynsfw.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why covering our shoulders with a mantle or blanket is so efficient at warming us?English51·20 days agoHeat rises. It gets trapped under the blanket and helps keep you warm.
Semi related, your body loses the most heat through your head so wearing a warm hat on a cold day makes a huge difference.
borf@lemmynsfw.comto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•‘Improved’ Grok criticizes Democrats and Hollywood’s ‘Jewish executives’English91·20 days agoTheir inner world is a different kind of place than the one you’ve built your identity inside. Their interactions with reality aren’t primarily epistomological, they’re social. Finding truth and discerning noise and lies simply aren’t part of their world; what matters is signaling which team you are on. That’s it. In-group/outgroup. There is truly nothing else.

borf@lemmynsfw.comto News@lemmy.world•President Trump says he plans to host UFC fight at the White House English491·23 days agoIt goes beyond trashy. He’s riling up his base with a show of violence and normalizing bloodsport. This is an intentional shift in social norms. His base laps it up-- government that’s fun like a wrestling match???-- and it takes the place in our public life that we had reserved for sober discussion of our nation’s wellbeing and handing it over to gleeful violence.
It’s not “UFC bad,” this is “drinking whiskey for breakfast,” the context matters. They are exterminating their enemies and it’s going to get worse.
borf@lemmynsfw.comto Games@lemmy.world•Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has becomeEnglish3·24 days agoMy kid loves roblox because its controls are pretty much completely ideal for her ipad and apple pencil
Roblox is entirely unplayable to me because its control schemes inevitably break all my millennial expectations and I don’t have great internet connectivity at home anymore. It hurts me and makes me angry, lol. ANY game that properly works with an Xbox controller is superior for my personal experience because of decades of that paradigm. Touchscreen controls are death and other control schemes are second class citizens in the modern landscape

I would give anything for a live feed of him trying to survive a hundred million miles away from the rest of us
