I have noticed that all of these misogynists are incredibly insecure alpha-pretending males. Can’t imagine how tiring this constant fear must be.

As a westerner who lived in Asia for the past 2 decades I have unusual take on this.

Americans generally aren’t more stupid than anyone else but they have no face saving culture which acts as a useful bottleneck on social and information exchanges. Because of this Americans can easily subscribe and announce their beliefs even if theyre low effort conspiracies because they are not afraid of losing face for believing in something stupid.

Combined that with information flow that is too fast for most to even comprehend let alone keep up with means that Americans are quick to believe lies and don’t feel punished for doing so.

This is very different in face saving cultures like Asia where if you say or do something stupid you’ll have strong social consequences and even spiritual/religious ones if you’re a Buddhist.

The caveat here is why Europeans are a bit better than this? I’m not sure i hadn’t lived there for a while but I’d imagine that smaller countries are less susceptible to this issue as they can correct quicker and I think Europe does have a bit of face saving culture, well definitely more than the US.

TL;DR: Americans are stupid because they are shameless

What decline? Chinese are so whipped CCP can do anything they want.

CCP is brutal against any form of resistance. China is the only developed country with firewall that censors normal every day words.

China is an absolute autocracy and everytime people advocate for it I can’t help but cringe. But hey did you see how developed they are - you can even pay with your fingerprint 🙄

World of Warcraft!

I know people like to look down on it here but it’s trully an amazing theme park metaverse experience.

I don’t have much time for it these days but just playing couple of hours every week is such a joyful experience. There’s just so much to do in the game, great writing, legendary characters, great people playing it. True metaverse experience everyone has been chasing lately.

And your overt racism is doing nazi salutes with the president 🙄

Where did that get us now?

Way to cherry pick one variable and miss the point entirely lmfao

Thats fair, have a good day then 👋

the colorblind route js how we got here.

Umm big doubt on that my dude. US ties identity to race so hard that colorblindness is not even a term in your social dictionary and thats why you’re all so mad when people call you out cause you simple don’t even understand what a colorblind mentality is.

Nah it’s perfectly fine to dislike some cultural traits and actions. That’s the key difference where Europeans try to control actions and Americans try to control the entire race as if it’s some homogeneous unit, as if black people in Louisiana are suffering the same issues black people in LA are. Its just stupid. Colorblind is the way.

We can disagree here. I’m convicned that colorblindness is the only way to approach this and we can see in practice that American approach doesn’t work with your government throwing nazi salutes and banning words and constant race war looming over the entire country.

Maybe if you took the colorblind route you wouldn’t be where you are right now.

Because Americans conflate this with race when it’s not the skin color that causes pain for Europeans but the cultural aspects. Clearly Islam and gypsy cultures are much more than race right?

This is a major oversimplification.

Americans made a huge mistake tying race to identity so hard and it’s incredibly cringy from outsiders pov. Europe is taking more of a colorblind approach and while it still needs a lot of work it’s much more sustainable and really the only viable path forward. World where race == identity will never be sustainable.

It literally takes 20 seconds to make an account and password manager manage everything for you. The federation here would bring almost no value for incredible increase in complexity.

Its only vialble if there’s a organized critical mass of people doing it.

That scene from lion king

Very emotional thanks

The last two of their games - two point hospital and two point campus - were both incredible.

So dramatic lmao put an oil painting filter on it

Check out how far consumer devices are already

I think its very likely we’ll see a fit for you in our lifetimes. It’ll be affordable too tho probably still a bit clunky due to battery tech limitations.

For vision the possibilities are endless but here the dangers are as well. Obviously the instinct will be augment vision with artificial objects and thats such a slippery slope. Tho I’d just take auto polarized lenses that are comfortable first.
