Social media is psychological manipulation and the social reality check of "bullying" has been eradicated so people end up in a nonstop dopamine feedback loop feeding them only information that reaffirms whatever they believe. Women specifically are susceptible to this due to their need for social approval and validation.
Men who use social media will either find themselves getting frequent bans and leaving cause the fun is gone and there is no accountability for tech companies to get anything right, or attempt to game the system and use it to manipulate others.


They are trying to push AI as a mass surveillance tool to prevent this, but AI is inaccurate and over promises and underdelivers with the only promise being "but it will get so much better in the future" ignoring that getting to a human level of accuracy the difficulty rises exponentially.
Add to this the push to no longer let people search and choose for themselves using AI and "muh algorithms" which provably kills critical thinking and people are becoming stupid and emotional…
>So why does dating suck and has become psycho
Social media added needless layers of complexity to socializing. Algorithms are molding people's behavior to be impulsive and lack any critical thoughts. Everyone is specifically are being targeted and being made narcissistic, shameless and told any compromise is abuse and encourage massive attention seeking.
It won't get better.

The internet sucks Anonymous 302513[Reply]

Does anyone else feel like the whole of the internet sucks now? I mean I grew up on it when the algorithms and heavy advertising were already a thing, because of them what I consumed never felt super genuine or exciting at that time already (2009-2020ish). But now it’s ten times worse. AI slop everywhere. Corporate slop everywhere. You can’t trust what you see anymore. The only times I feel genuine excitement on the internet is when I am interacting with artists/regular people or media that those people make one on one. And I feel extra sad for kids and young teens now. I mean theres more I can say here, about the underground, how thats a safe place, but now commercialised and made into slop. How important it is to place knowledge and research and efforts to find community by yourself not take what you are fed. I can say a lot. Bottom line is these kids will be retarded and lost and miserable if they use the internet the way corporations want you to. And it’s sad that it’s like this because it’s so easy to just consume slop. The internet sucks and I’m mad that most people are complacent with shitting on this beautiful tool we have.

Video from before youtube was unironically better, on two fronts. Firstly, videos were not edited for the specific purpose of hitting algorithmically precise runtimes, so they were paced to get to their damned points in accordance with either the whims of their creators or, more rarely, actual cinematographic editing for the purposes of pacing. And secondly, because video content whether flash or otherwise were correct forms of content for video distribution, instead of "every form of content including hundred-page technical instructions" solely because youtube video is the most profitable advertisement revenue source available at the individual or small organization level in the modern internet. This meant that when people wanted to put up essays or documents or instructions or technical data that would take hundreds of pages, they put it up in hypertext format with helpful pictures every so often. And that meant that search engines… actually worked. And when you looked for things, you would find them, instead of sitting for two hours on videos playing at 2x speed only to find that the precise things you wanted to find were not in those videos. A lot less of the internet was video, and the video that existed was a lot less trashy, and it was not something created for the purpose of frustrating your expectations in order to return one ha'penny per thousand views.

Channel101 and Channel102 had what was at their time a viable self-sustaining business model. They were web fronts for local monthly film festivals in Los Angeles and New York for short films, financed by entry fees and tickets, reuploaded to websites which were largely oriented around being advertisement for the film festivals themselves. Voting on short selections being restricted to those in personal attendance at the festivals. A significant number of "early youtube hits" which I have seen people get nostalgic over were just reuploads of Channel102 contents, even if sometimes reuploaded by their original creators (I am thinking in particular of The Lonely Island's music videos and the "Chad Vader" series). Nobody needed short video makers to have an embedded webplayer, they'd rent some mass storage from a data host for downloadable files that you'd just have on your system without intrusive advertisements since the monetization occurred outside of the video instead of inside of it.

MMA is the way to go now. Wrestlers tend to be the best conditioned apparently as the training really pushes you. You’re basically a bear that can go full strength for a long time. Just look at those dagsstani or any central Asian countries .
Self defence a gun, knife, or walking stick is best
https://youtu.be/EJvLNkFzblQ

Bjj wrestling judo boxing would be best. Don’t kick in a street fight because you can wind up on the ground fast. Judo is a good efficient way to throw someone bigger, get good with hip throws.
Bjj for obvious reasons, get good at the triangle choke like dean lister
Good to build strength, but you’ll need leverage and technique against a moid.

Good to spar with some moids, light boxing or good amount of grappling. You’ll get better dealing with stronger opponents.
Worth noting good to do neck bridges. A strong neck helps prevent a knockout.
Look at Floyd mayweather, remy bonjasky, giorgio patrysan, shogun with that high guard or machida with distance.
Because moids are lanky and can hit you from a distance. Guard and make him miss at his range , then try clinch up and hip throw him.
Knee his head or sub him or run.
Forget the cute skirt stockings heels tops where he’s gonna be hard and gets easy access.
Dress like a gopnik thug with good runners so you can run , punch , kick and throw .

Y’all mind if I needlessly break this down

>cute guy in class helps me out

>go to the library and study together
This implies you both met through means that weren’t about relationships but instead about classmates becoming acquaintances to friends at best when you made your “moves”. Things like buying him food or drinks could have been seen as good gestures in which he expects himself to repay the favor down the line.
A lot of the things you described about him as you make your way to your apartment, screams autism which could factor into a lack of social skills.

>start taking my clothes off gradually

I assume you added this part because this was a hint of “I’m interested you, look at me” but could have just came off as you’re making yourself comfortable in your own home and he’s just there. Again there’s only much that can be assumed with what you’ve stated. Having a beer together is again just seems casual hang out together as friends. All the interactions that you described are just him being autistic about things he likes and certain beliefs about not being frivolous spender

>apologises and says he had no idea that's what I was signalling

Was just the dead giveaway that he didn’t pick up on anything, I suggest just being straightforward about going on a date together if this just happened recently. I believe there’s still a chance nona

Have to be careful there . Donny go alone at night especially in the rural area. Go where other women frequent in the day time . Much of those scary gang rape stories you hear like that Brazilian couple , they were alone in the woods where they got into a fight with those guys, they left and later that night went back to the spot where they ran into those thugs .

Thread is for all things outdoor and outdoor-life related. Do you feed any foxes? Birds? Corvids? Like to occasionally be a child and catch a gecko? Everytime I see something like a small snake outside I get excited. I like to feed herps crickets, etc, when I find them.

Anyone here into nature photography or jumping spiders? Or just hiking, beachgoing in general?

Discuss all things outdoors here.

I like taking photos of birds. I walk pretty deep into the woods just to see cool birds and other animals. I've gotten lost a few times. Not fun.

I used to volunteer at a national park. I got to hold a lot of cool animals. Ospreys, baby sandpipers, fawns, jays, etc. I love animals and nature more than anything.

STEM Majors Thread Anonymous 266664[Reply]

How many users here went into STEM? Doesn't matter if you actually ended up making a career out of it.

Especially interested in seeing how many engineering majors there are because, for whatever reason, just about every engineering class seemed completely devoid of women at my school. It seems like the majority end up going into life sciences or pre med, personally wasted years poking around with bacteria in microbiology just to end up 'producing' (AI does most of the work) low effort mass produced content for some tiktok dude who pays me way more than this junk is worth. Feels like I sold my soul.

What's your major? Did you end up where you thought you would, or did you basically just end up spending a ton of time and money for a wall decoration? Would/will you do things over again and study a different field?

Meanwhile I'm gonna go on kind of a rant.

I went for a coffee with a friend and we were comparing our uni experiences (she graduated bacherlor's around 10 years ago in a different STEM field). We got to how it hasn't really changed much.

Then I chatted with some guys doing master's how it's wonderful that they treat them as people not as students now. That in the first years profs kinda humiliate everyone to "weed out the weak ones".

Why do they feel the need to do that? I have to say not all profs right, there's lots of amazing ones as well, and I know there's hundreds of new students every year.. But what's with the mentality?
