I don't know where you are but in Australia Fathers Day is definitely not ignored. The men where I work even get little gifts.

Terrible human

So you're supporting Mike Tyson the rapist.

I think the demonisation of emption is wrong. We all want emotions: happiness, love, joy, excitement, fullfilment, etc. This is what we live for but emotions are denigrated constantly. There is a huge dissonance here in society where emotions are made illegitimate and worthless whilst being the experience we strive toward.

I wonder if this is part of the anti intellectualism, especially the humanities, if they are viewed as less pragmatic and more about curiosity and emotion. Everything is economic these days.

You have an answer? Im pretty set on misanthropy. I thimk people do know better but they just don't care. We all know about the holocaust but most people are fine with doing this to non jewish people. People aren't going to change in 100 generations. We need to evolve into non humans and that would take many more than 100 generations.

And lemmy celebrates whichever rapist they favour. Sick.

Doesn't stop men from loving the idea. See the current adoration of rapist mike tyson on lemmy.

Getting humans to play nice is not practical, that's the bottom line. Getting humans to be logical and compassionate is also not practical. The whole notion of non toxic social media is a fools errand. We're vicious and selfish and you can't nudge that out of existence.

So you're pro rapist?

You love rapists?

So you love rapists. Got it.

Yep, i thought they were asking for ideas for better social media. The reality is that this will never happen. Humanity is terrible. I'm not joking. I was just trying to think about what might help. Noone would stay though, they'd find their safe space and eat their brand of shit.

So you're saying it's nice? I get that it's impractical but that only hinges on popularity.

Someone beat a rapist. Yay.

I was totally being idealist. The idea of a social media site where people just get along is totally idealist. I believe in politeness btw, i think that it's how we get along without violence in our day to day lives. I think courtesy matters and the internet's repudiation of common courtesy is spilling into real life and the knock out game will just expand.. i believe in good manners. I get that i'm insane, but how else can we live with each other?

What if the pretence of common courtesy is the norm that actually prevents mass violence? I could be wrong, but i genuinely believe it matters.

The opinion of who leads the country and his voters are more important. It's like the west trying to install democracy and progress in afghanistan. The locals aren't having it.

Ban all swearing and slurs. Enforce courtesy and make people spell out their position. Ban extremist news posts, including extreme rubbish like the daily mail. Freedom of speech, in the american sense, is the enemy of truth. Minimum character limit instead of maximum character limit. Posts must have meaningful content, not ^this. You must click tbe link to the article before posting. No headline reactions. All the politics goes in one place, noone gets an echo chamber. No labels.

Everypne would hate it but I would go there.

Some of us find attention irritating. I like to be left alone. People and dogs sre very demanding and I spend that energy on myself. Maybe you don't see that the attention goes both ways for most of us. I don't have the energy for the demands of others. Sounds very narcissistic actually.

I did, didn't work.

We just call it wooster
