There was some talk recently in r/Greece about cheating in online university exams started because some jackass professor was so fucking devastated that people did “well” on his class (42% passed which is much better than usual) that he had to whine about cheating to a major newspaper. For some reason this subject was deemed worthy of being published but whatever, I digress. There were some weird fucking nerds on reddit who were whining about how employers will avoid employing people who graduated around 2021 because they will know they may have cheated on some test. I can’t believe there’s people so naive, but then again it is reddit.

Understandable, if they did that they would have to have a criticisms of the criticisms of the criticisms of the labour theory of value page.

Isn’t it funny how all these people have all these super important and super complex worldviews which are so extremely cultivated and worked out and yet they never translate to anything in the real world?

People in the imperial core study philosophy and somehow don’t read Marx?

#JustAngloThings

In most of Europe they still read Marx a lot.

Can we somehow isolate these people from the rest of society and just let them have at it from behind their keyboards till the sun goes out?

I don’t KNOW if they’re traumatized but it seems like some of them may be, idk. The first post reminds me of being depressed and insecure and overinterpreting every sign I noticed. I have no clue though how you end up like the other person making that comment. It’s like she’s getting mad at her own headcannon. That’s what the sub seems like, traumatized women hanging around with weird hostile narcissists and everyone getting submerged into misery as a result. It’s honestly more sad than incel forums because at least you can laugh at how deranged, whiny and petty some of the incel stuff is whereas this is just sad and weird. And very classist.

Yeah, I was just looking at it again and this is one of the most popular posts over there right now, just to show what I mean when I say some of the stuff there is just bizarre and confusing:

FDS is also incredibly useful for vetting women for friendships. I made the grievous mistake of overlooking a few red flags (like not calling when she said she was going to call) with a woman who I thought was becoming a close friend.

I set a boundary with her last week. She had been getting gradually less reliable so I said, “Hey, I understand that you are overwhelmed. But when I come to visit you next week I am really excited to attend a meteor shower. I don’t want my plans to hinge on yours so should I rent a car or have a backup plan?” She insisted that she wanted to join and that worst case scenario I could just borrow her car. I let her know up front that I am compassionate that she has a lot of stressors right now but I needed her to respect that this was important to me and that I would be upset if I missed this…(this is also why I am increasingly hesitant to becoming friends with women who have young children. They tend to think that a childless woman’s interests/hobbies are frivolous.)

Fast forward to me flying out of state to spend time with her and her toddler son. Her energy was bizarre from my arrival so I asked her about it and she insisted that there was nothing wrong but she had a huge fight with her sister so now her 2 year old son would be joining us for the 4 hour car ride. I was happy about it because he is delightful and I was unfazed. On Wednesday morning, I again gave her an out. “Hey, I can just drive myself if this is feeling like too much.” She insisted even though we didn’t leave until like 2 PM. On the car ride up I offered to alternate driving with her and she said she was nervous about me not being on her insurance. 🧐 we get to the lovely hotel that I paid for in full. I also paid for gas and $150 dinner for the 3 of us. The next morning she was so unpleasant to me. I wanted to say something but we had a 4 hour car drive back so I figured I would wait for a better time. She had the energy to be kind to her son but I felt like she resented me for “having” to make the trip. At first I was trying to be compassionate because I know that she has been under a lot of stress but after 2 hours of her sighing loudly and not attempting to be at all pleasant to me, I got pissed.

I was explicit with her that this was important to me, I offered her 3 different outs, I paid for her and her son to have a nice experience, I missed the meteor shower and now she is acting like a completely garbage person to me? I was supposed to stay at her home but I asked her to drop me off at a local hotel. When we arrived I said “Thank you.” Waved goodbye to her son and stomped off. I’m extra livid now thinking about how I hostessed her for 5 days at my home in California for her birthday and pulled out all the stops. I also had to spend more money on 2 nights that I planned to stay at her place. I just would NEVER in a million years treat a guest that way unless they were horrendous. This is another reason we must always have our own money.

I am done making excuses for people who think I am an emotional punching bag. Her inability to regulate her feelings was completely toxic to me. I have a soft spot in my heart for single mothers but now I want nothing to do with her and I am seriously tempted to write her a letter and block.

Other red flag behavior was that she constantly wanted to talk about dating and would ask for diet/nutrition advice and then never listen. I had to call her in for flaking on a phone call because she was on a 45 minute call with a guy she had never met from Hinge.🤮 I’m still seething from this. Please learn from my mistake. Pickmes are borderline abusive and they will use you just as badly as a LVM will.

Like, none of this even has anything to do with pickmes. This is literally just a post about her stressed single mom friend being unpleasant. But this is apparently enough for this person to literally seethe with rage, consider completely blocking her friend, and write a massive rant talking about how it is abuse and pickme behavior somehow. This is not exactly a healthy response to your friend being kind of shitty. Also apparently another thing that makes her STILL seethe with rage is that she talked with a guy she considered dating instead of calling her once? Ummm alright?

And the comments are just a bizarre circle jerk. There is one comment talking about how asking for diet advice and not taking it is a huge red flag, because it means they will never ever listen to you or stop being a pickme. That person brings up the example of a friend who asked for meal plans and exercise advice and she supposedly didn’t take the advice, but she fucked up her ankle while running (which she had told her to do so I guess she did take the advice?) which… Means something? I don’t fucking know. Apparently she got so mad her friend sprained her ankle that she missed her wedding. Like wtf.

It seems like most people there are either incredibly narcissistic or have some kind of bad trauma that makes them react really weird to some situations. Either way it can’t be very healthy to be there.

FDS is a weird place. I think a lot of the women there have some kind of trauma which is understandable. Some of the posts are I guess decent advice for not falling for manipulative/abusive behavior by men etc. However most of it is TERF shit, horrible classism and weird stuff bordering on paranoia that comes off like they haven’t interacted with a real person before. The classism isn’t even subtle BTW, it is all over the place and so fucking explicit.

Edit: Also they have many similarities to incels. Like, they even have shit like LVM and HVM (low value male and high value male) going on which is very reminiscent the Becky/Stacey shit incels do.

This person clearly hates homeless people so why is she even volunteering? If that is even true anyways.

You gotta hear Greek chuds ranting about how when “we” were building the Parthenon the Germans/Europeans in general were eating acorns on trees. It’s always about acorns and trees for some reason.

I joked about it once and some aussie nazi got upset and started telling me I hate white people, I told him I am literally white so he replied “no you’re not, you’re Greek” and I’m like, bruh.

Wow, you’re not joking… The comments are reaaaaally bad. Someone is genuinely concerned about white genocide. I replied to one of these people, let’s see where this goes…

The only black Lenin I support: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/850473950841930119/BD0CCC5F3D3A048D56E741F8D50873CD8731B53E/

But it IS a medical issue for many people. Of course people can chose what they want to do with their bodies and disparaging them doesn’t work. However many people are trying to “overcorrect” by pretending that abnormal weight is actually good for you or that nothing you ever try will help you deal with it and I really don’t think it is helpful at all. My cousin has struggled with obesity for a long time, at some point he had to be operated because it was damaging his body. He is doing better than back then now but it’s really not that great, and his learning difficulties plus a mostly unhelpful family in that regard are making it harder. I don’t think this kind of approach is necessarily helpful.

Doping is a problem but still not universal, and even the ones that do don’t completely go ham with it because otherwise they would be detected.

If you say “fuck it, doping is cool and good now” you’ll basically just kill a bunch of kids. You don’t solve a problem by saying fuck it, I don’t think it is a problem any more.

just let the olympics and shit be a showcase and celebration of what humans can accomplish, fuck it make doping legal as well, i wanna see how wild humans can get

This kind of mindset is ruining professional sports. How about we don’t encourage drug abuse even more?

Fuck off SJW, you’re making us look bad.

This shows with some fluctuations that after 2010 there was a marked increase: https://www.statista.com/statistics/232383/gender-split-of-us-computer-and-video-gamers/#:~:text=The statistic shows the gender,increase over the previous year.&text=The global gaming industry has,fast pace in recent years.

Of course the issue with this statistic is that it seems to only take into account the people who have played some video game, whereas some other statistics seem to imply there is a much more significant gap in people who identify as gamers, which is shrinking too. But yeah, the divide before 2010 was greater in general, not that it was as big a deal as they pretend anyways.

The issue is that everything about consoles is expensive. I’m not a hardcore gamer or whatever so I’m not gonna spend a few hundred euros for a console only to then have to buy every game I want to play. Like, yeah, maybe I will be slightly limited in terms of what games I can play in my computer compared to consoles, but it’s a worthwhile tradeoff for not having to pay. This is why I don’t think consoles are as accessible. It’s like, PC is good for people who want to spend either 0 or thousands of dollars and consoles are for people who want to spend hundreds of dollars.

It’s not that there weren’t any women playing videogames, but there definitely weren’t as many before because they were heavily marketed to boys. But in recent years there’s definitely been a lot more women.
