Sadly I think a majority of it is just basic brain-rot stupidity. I went through this heartbreak already when Covid hit and I saw the scale of people's brainlessness on full display.

The right is excessively stupid, but even people who think they're on the left have a huge problem with mental faculties. I'm sure there are Russians capitalizing on it, but people on the left are really, really vulnerable to a specific set of emotional triggers and talking points and it doesn't take much to make a whole ass mob of people start screaming how they can't let Harris into office because... and I'm being dead serious, the latest "controversy" is because she promises a cabinet position to a republican, or an advisory board that has republicans.

Literally, one of the most common fixtures of politics, and there are leftists seething and screaming that she's going to "allow them in."

Like it's the fucking Thing, and anything a republican touches will become like them. Or that the White House is a tiny little clubhouse with a secret handshake, or that politics is like a literal combat zone. I just can't wrap my head around how dense people claiming to be on my side are.

So yeah, it's no surprise that for a very real, and very complicated issue like Israel, people are going to behave like absolute primates.

Hey, aim for the moon, if you miss you still hit the stars! Or something.

Just please, please take it slow and stretch a LOT and don't force it, you can seriously maim your back if you force it. There's probably some yoga exercises you can look up online.

I don't drink or eat a lot of carbs, I am trim and lean. But I still wouldn't dress like that simply because bare midriff doesn't look good on men unless you're fully trying to imitate the 80's movie aesthetic for laughs.

I can't believe this old hoax is still being circulated. This goes back pre-internet as one of the first viral memes.

For the curious, I did know someone who said they could do it. We didn't have long conversations about it or anything but he said all you need to know.

I turned my love of staring at spreadsheets documenting other people's wealth and weeping for myself and humanity into a career!

I suppose everyone is different, but most people tend to agree that photos are often misleading in one way or another. Typically though, photos tend to flatten features and as you said, accent and display flaws for people to stare at, whereas in real life, people are "alive" and dynamic and you see that "flaw" was actually just an angle or photo-artifact, and people's expressions can provide a sense of dynamic life and motion that most people find more agreeable on an aesthetic level.

But more than anything, face-to-face socializing is incredibly important because when you get to know someone, their appearance changes.

Not a deluding-yourself kind of way like some people think, but literally your sense of what you find appealing will change. This is why again, social friend groups are the best places to meet people, you don't have to feel as insecure about your appearance if you can socialize and make friends, people will associate you with positive feelings, and you them, and you will all become familiar and attractive to each other in one way or another.

I also love your comment history. A wall of "Removed by mod." A shining example of someone with far too much time on their hands. I'm sure you're the victim tho.

Appropriate username is appropriate.

And now the park security is approaching with tasers. I guess playgrounds aren't considered America!

Things people think about when they haven't learned to manage obsessive rumination in their own minds and live every day with a kind of stress or misery that few people who are even slightly healthier can even comprehend.
