Just wondering? How hard is it for some of you to say "aww cute, doggy"or something like that?

I would say that but too me it’s been apparent since long before lemmy was set up

Teens dating are the norm in most Asian countries what are you on about?

You mean in the middle east where women are basically seen as property in most of those countries. Literally not able to leave the house without a chaperone. Or you mean Asian countries like South Korea which is facing the same issues to such an extent that incel like public policies are bring implemented or Japan which again is facing literally the exact same problems.

I mean you won’t be able to save absolutely everyone but you’d be amazed how many get into abusive relationships because they don’t know any better. Not even just abusive relationships either just relationships were they aren’t valued that much.

Yup. We wonder why young people are committing suicide more often when their entire self worth is based on how good they do in school. You combine that with late stage capitalism necessitating two parents working meaning the child might not even see them that much. More kids are neglected with their grades being the only source of validation. It would help so much of them being taught how to love themselves.

Not true. Its never been as bad as 63% not in relationships and 15% having no close friendships. Its clearly an issue that has gotten worse evertime. Why do you think this period of time is known as the loneliness epidemic.

An air fryer. Those things are miracle machines.

Anyone that expected Lemmy to instantly get as big as reddit overnight were naive. Overall I think only a small fraction went away but reddit is clearly using tactics like mass inviting to group chats and reopening places to boost activity.

I find imbd more reliable in a way than RT. If you view the 10 to 1 rating system as a percentage chance of you enjoying a movie, then it’s extremely trustworthy. Letterbox is pretty good as well.

Scary movie, Scary movie 2 and Scary movie 3. I find those movies hilarious despite what people say.

One day I created a reddit account. I used a couple of names but they were all taken. That’s when I let fate decide my name. The gods bestowed upon the name StrikingDebate2. This name has been with me for so long why should I leave it? Why should I reject the gods judgement? Of course, you can just call me striker for short.
