After a lifetime against, I'm considering joining social media. Any advice?
  • FoundTheVegan FoundTheVegan 10mo ago 33%

    Not every gun is always loaded, but you should always treat a gun as if it's loaded.

    You can think whatever you want about my post, unfair/arrogant idc, I'm just sharing a very common view from among the women I know and the discussions I've read. Not every one out there in the dating world is a creep, but I'd rather be careful since I only had a limited time to go out.

    It's not that every single person falls in to those two camps, but social media is super duper common, so why would I risk wasting my time on someone I can't vet?

  • FoundTheVegan FoundTheVegan 10mo ago 36%

    As a woman who was single and dating, saying you don't have a social media is a red flag. Best case scenario, you truly don't and it's probably from having some sort of arrogant judgement value about people who do, worst case, you have a spouce you are hiding from me.

    Either way, not worth the risk. Like all the women I know feel the same. Sure it's a historically newer redflag that didn't exist 10-50 years ago, but neither was worrying about crypto gambling and manospehre BS. Modern problems require modern precautions.

    I went to CA for the holidays and was utterly dismayed by how unwalkable it was. It's honestly tragic, I really took for granted being able to walk a few blocks for groceries.

  • Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files?
  • FoundTheVegan FoundTheVegan 10mo ago 80%

    I mean, I am not a huge fan of the show and didn't finish it. But the first season was stellar. But that aside, reading your other comments it seems like you don't like a lot of modern shows. Which is fine, but personally I find older stuff I watched when I was a girl just sorta meaningless. X files had so many skipable episodes without serving the overarching plot. I'm honestly kinda baffled that you would prefer monster of the week instead of expanse and breaking bad, but you are allowed to think as you please. Just seems at odd with two of the most higely praised shows of recent history.

    And I don't super appreciate being called bro... >_>

    That's.... not what the poster was saying. Prestige TV extends much farther than the mafia genre, sopranos was just the turning point when higher budget dramatic things were more commonly greenlit.

    The Wire, Breaking Bad, Watchmen, The Expanse Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Mad Men etc all absolutely blow X files out of the water. And while I do love X files, the monster of the week format is not even in the same ballpark as those long form character dramas.

    I think you might be letting nostalgia blind you to how great television has become.

  • Jim Henson (and everything he created) are VASTLY AND ANNOYINGLY OVERRATED
  • FoundTheVegan FoundTheVegan 10mo ago 100%

    I mostly agree about the Muppets, I don't really see the appeal and have never found any of their media all thay interesting.

    HOWEVER

    The Christmas Carol is the one exception, I don't like it because it's Muppets, but it's beautiful music and honestly heartwarming storytelling.

    5 responses in 3 minutes? Yeah, no. I'm not engaging with whatever tf this is. Using debate terminology does not mean you have a logical argument and I'm not about to go through economic semantics while you play ignorant. Think as you please and I encourage you to tell/show as many people as you can about this interaction.

    Lmao. I hope you are just trolling because that's a 2nd grade answer. There is no way you are a serious person who has serious opinions about the world.

    you can’t decide what happens to it.

    But what DOES happen with it? The store restocks.

    What exactly do you think happens to the money you spend at the grocery store on bacon? It goes to the people producing it. And then they make more.

    Madonna spent years as a sex symbol, which absolutely takes time, effort and very consenious eating. Not to mention makeup, hair and fashion. What I see in her pic is a streamlined and simple to maintain look. She already has the money and nothing left to prove so... YOLO?

  • What If: No Social Media Anonymity (Edit)
  • FoundTheVegan FoundTheVegan 10mo ago 93%

    That it would drastically harm queer people and those questioning their identity. Social pressure, fear and shame keeps people from asking certain questions or exploring their desires when it's potentially tied to them for life.

    Look at the while concept of "queer appropriation" by celebrities. Their entire life is public and ironically while feeling themselves out and experimenting with new presentations, it's ironically met with backlash from some queer people thinking it's a capitalist ploy to appeal to queer fans.

    Being able to just ask questions and explore is a fundamental part of understanding yourself. Anonymity is a precious gift, but one that is also easy to take granted.

    Edit: Also religious folk.

    Cows are the finest example of the proletariat. The only service they provide to the economy is their body itself, so they are literally stripped of it to enrich others with more power, just an endless cycle of suffering.

    Not quite, the whole "Enlighten centerist" is a crap feel good argument to side with oppressers out of personal convience, far from a legitimate political perspective.

    But this isn't politics, it's me as part of the <1% outsider vegan community in a EXTREMELY carnist world. I'm just so bloody tired of people talking about the horrors of "animal abuse" as they pay others to perpetuate it. It's less centerist, and more annoyance at large scale cognitive dissonance from a historical norm.
