  • The view is anyone that can’t get sex is worthless. It’s a harsh truth that people don’t like to admit.

    People love to use the fact that people aren’t get sex against them.

    The whole treatment of incels seems hypocritical to me tbh. Like they make some good points. But society can’t accept nuance, they can’t accept that someone that don’t like might be right about something’s.





  • You need to drink your way to weight gain.

    Try 4 meals a day if you can but get some big calorie drinks in you.

    Stop looking at the weight in the gym and start looking at the weight on the scales.

    But I’m (athletic) skinny and punched out of my weight loads. How? I don’t fucking know. Think girls are just really comfortable around me and for some that works, usually the cute quiet ones. Or sometimes I been blackout drunk and magic happens.

    Edit: Just get really drunk and lower your standards. I’ve done that too.






  • I agree. It’s also probably person to person thing.

    I’ve been told it’s better to take ibuprofen with food as you can get indigestion. But I don’t so I don’t need to. Some people need to. Some people get indigestion so bad they can’t take ibuprofen at all even with food.

    Also I went to the doctors and he said “just take some ibuprofen that will help” and I said “oh I’m asthmatic I’m not meant to take that. But I have taken it before and I didn’t realise”

    And he said “oh its fine then. Some asthmatics might get any issue with it. That’s why it’s recommend not to take it. BUT seeing as you have and didn’t have any issues, then you are fine to take it.”

    There is a huge theoretical improvement in medicine if it can be given individually rather than by demographic.










  • The internet as a whole was so much better for this.

    Free speech and exchanging of idea and views was great. Most of my time on YouTube was spent looking at out and out discussions, back and forth, about religion. Which seeing as I went to a religious school I didn’t really have anyone to talk to that was very helpful for me.

    Now people come to a conclusion and stick with it. But they also get encouraged by people doing exactly the same upvoting their view and down voting others. Evidence doesn’t matter. Reddit and redditors used to encourage upvoting alternative opinions.

    People are going so far as to want certain views banned just because it isn’t their view. It’s scary how much people want to be restricted. Reddit used to be great for free speech but now its terrible. I was hoping Lemmy would, by it’s federated nature, be an exchange of different ideas and views but if anything it is a lot worse. (I actually find the mods to largely be okay. But the people are terrible, worse than reddit is at this moment it time)

    So no Lemmy is nothing like reddit of old at all. I’d love to go back to reddit from 10 years ago.
