    Why did anyone bother to reply to my comment by telling me that my personal choice is wrong?

    Not a single person has done that. You came into the thread claiming to hold objective truth. People responded leaning towards it being a subjective topic and you’ve responded aggressively to literally everyone.

    This is not telling you you’re wrong, just that they’re of the opinion that the topic is subjective and boils down to individual preference.

    Literally, the first sentence of this comment refers to subjectivity.

    People are not telling you that you’re wrong, they’re simply telling you that your opinion is not objective fact and that all of this boils down to personal preference.

    Take. The. Hint.

    Instead you respond with:

    I was not interested in anyone’s disagreement with my choice which is based upon a lifetime of experience.

    This is all we needed to know. Enjoy your lonely bubble.

    Your overconfidence and condescension as well overestimation of the value of “time doing x” makes you sound like a prick.

    I’ve seen dudes with the same amount of experience on forklifts cause the most damage out of everyone in a warehouse of hundreds of employees. I’ve seen dudes in their 60s that have played guitar for nearly 50 years not know jack shit about the instrument and have circles played around them by children.

    Experience means next to nothing. It’s a useless metric. All that “my opinion is x, and my 31 years of experience makes me right” tells me is that you’re more likely than most to have bad habits, bad technique, and pigeonholed preferences.

    You know what does mean something? Supporting others on their journey with the instrument instead of talking down at them and acting like you’re a part of an elite club that they’ll never get into.

    With your mindset, you’re definitely part of an *exclusive *club. The problem is that you’re not gonna find many people out there that care to join you.








  • Maybe it works for you. I dunno. But letting people just simulate their unpalatable fantasies with software that is the pinnacle of enablement is a bad fucking mix.

    Life and society is real. Pawning uncomfortable realities off on software that glazes you at every opportunity just accelerates the rate at which people emotionally, socially, and sexually stunt themselves.

    So called “AI” is cancer for the mind. Combining that with letting your life be led and dictated by the whims of your dick is the equivalent of not thinking twice about taking harder and harder drugs because shit like weed or alcohol loses its appeal.

    Sometimes its beneficial to pump the brakes and take a step back to think about how things might be affecting one’s life.

    Also, I highly disagree that there’s a significant subset of dudes that are unfuckably gross by chance. Just look at that Reddit sub about dudes asking if its time to cut their absolutely shitty hair. Being that ignorant of your hygiene and outward appeal is a choice in many cases. The problem is that men are not raised to be self aware and when life comes to dunk on their social ineptitude they’d rather wallow in misery and blame anything and anyone else than do literally anything to help themselves.

    There’s a lot of men out there that deserve empathetic and attentive help for their issues. There’s also a lot of men that are just straight-up negligent, selfish, and lazy. If you have any female friends, poll them about their experiences with men and you’ll realize just how fucking stark the situation is. It’s insane.




  • That’s what I ended up doing. I really wish there was a flag for sexual content in general that would be easy to omit from the feed. I don’t wanna block entire instances as they might have discussions and content on non-sexual topics that I’d like to participate in.

    The first thing everyone that I’ve recommended Lemmy to sees is massive amounts of porn when they make their accounts. Telling them they need to block instances is a major hurdle as they don’t even know what an instance is when they migrate over.

    Most end up not bothering and going right back to Reddit.
