What's the consensus on swearing here in c/asklemmy

[–] Globulart 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But certain words DO have power, even if it's just power attributed by others it's still power, and it's really naive to think they don't.

Concluded is a nice way to put it...

Didn't they have to quit after doing an episode about workplace bullying at bôn appetit (or some other channel) and then getting called out for having behaved in exactly the same way for years? Proper douchebag hypocritical behaviour from memory.

They had some good episodes for sure, but fuck those guys.

Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day? in c/asklemmy

Summoning Salt.

Not many people can make a 2 hr video about the world record progression of a game I've never heard of and have me absolutely invested in it all the way through.

Dude makes a video every 3-6months but god I love them. If anything they've improved over the years as his style has been refined and the videos got longer.

Yeah and that's the exact outlook that I think is dumb. It might be true if they were trying to make the world aware of some very serious but largely unknown issue, but that's not what's happening here at all.

Nobody learns anything, FEWER people will sympathise with you, and you disrupt people's lives for exactly fuck all.

Is it possible there's something between those two options that could work more effectively and piss fewer people off...?

I'm amazed at how few people realise this. I don't agree with jailing this guy but people seem to think that as long as a protest gets noticed by people it MUST be effective.

Arguing with anger makes people who are already on your side agree with you, arguing with calm and logic might actually change a few minds though.

Just Stop Oil are the former and appears to me to be doing nothing to help the effort, do they think that people believe oil is good for the planet and that they're actually making others aware of the environmental impact? Nobody is learning anything but plenty of people are getting pissed off with the cause because it's unnecessarily disruptive and furthers nothing.

Edit: you guys proved the point phenomenally. There's the people already on their side agreeing, meanwhile at least 2 commenters who are anti oil are painted like we coat penguins in it for fun in our free time. Why do so many suggest it's either JSO or ineffective sanctioned protests? Could there not be something in between? What would be so wrong with protesting directly to MPs by the houses of Parliament? You could chain yourself to whatever if you need to make a strong point, throw oil/paint/whatever at 10 downing street, do something that the decision makers will actually notice and have people talking about you favourably. Most conversations about JSO are one side saying they're fucking morons, and the other side naively echoing this chamber like that has any chance at changing anyone's mind.

Ah well, lemmy seems even less flexible than reddit did with its views, so I shouldn't be surprised. There is no room for nuance here.

I refer back to my original comment then, who the fuck wants to do that?

You get to be a full time interviewer, with any bad decisions you make fucking up the planet. The ulterior motives may not exist initially but you can be sure that someone will convince your A-team there are "better" ways to do things.

No thank you, give me 7 extra hours per day to enjoy myself with only 1 hour needed to sleep.

Identifying qualified trustworthy people may not be a simple task, everyone has an ulterior motive.

Flu kills about 36k each year in America, so actually very close to 100 a day.

Covid is just a thing that exists now unfortunately.
