  • All extremist sides are just everywhere because extremism tends to be the best way for populists to gather votes and attention. Democracy is completely useless when the population is uneducated and cannot choose what’s best for themselves in the long, and even in the short term.

    Here in Mexico things are getting wilder every year, people choose influencers and tv/sports stars just because they are famous, the president from 2012-2018 was chosen by a big percent of the population just because he was handsome lol

    But now the best selling point is extremism, blaming x because of y since you are a victim but we can do z, z being whatever nonsensical and irresponsible measure that would change things.



  • It’s somewhat better but heavily depends on what you play and how you play it. Empirically, it’s better as now I only find toxic players every 20 games or so, when before it was like 1/2. But I also recommend to just mute everything and everyone and stick to ARAM if you don’t like toxicity.


  • Most of the time it’s the echo chamber needs that we all have, we want to see opinions that match our own at the top, and opinions that don’t match, at the bottom.

    The issue is that social media is very aggressive on the trends. It’s easier for people to formulate a judgement (when the opinion is somewhat ambiguous, or not very strong) when someone else has done the actual judgement for you and upvoted/downvoted.

    If votes where not shown at all, the comments would have wildly distinct amounts of support. It’s a pretty fun subject to study to be fair since it affects all of us very strongly so they are not just fake internet points in that sense. People’s days are sometimes dictated by the amount of validation or hate they get from strangers, we’ve been seeing this since Facebook and it will continue getting more relevant as we move more of our daily lives and activities to the digital world.



  • Maybe if we flooded them with such tickets, they would finally see that it might be worth considering?

    I’ve worked in customer support and most of the time these type of tickets just get a copy pasted response basically saying thanks for your feedback, kindly go fuck yourself.

    If you want something that could be reviewed I’d suggest contacting their legal department or even their HR department. The other option is to look for individual employees emails and socials and just message them.

    I recommend not doing any of these things though, because it can be quite annoying to deal with these types of requests, as you will likely not be the first person to suggest this.


  • There are multiple people falling prey to Nigerian/Philippines romance scams, thinking a celebrity/influencer/hot person is using an alt account to contact them because they fell in love with them at first sight.

    They give thousands of dollars, millions even. They take out loans, sell their houses, lose all their inheritance, all because they think they are special, when in truth they are just lonely enough to believe the lies that make them think their life has any meaning at all.

    The way these scams operate and how Trump manipulates people is virtually the same. It’s impressive what loneliness and egocentrism do to us and how vulnerable we can be to the most obvious lies.



  • The ruse began with Ballard and women in the organization taking cross-country trips to “practice” their “sexual chemistry” with tantric yoga, couple’s massages with escorts and performing lap dances on Ballard, the lawsuit claims.

    While promotional materials portrayed the group’s overseas missions as “paramilitary drop-ins to arrest traffickers and rescue children,” they mostly involved “going to strip clubs and massage parlors across the world, after flying first class to get there, and staying at five-star hotels, on boats, and at VRBOs (vacation rentals by owner) across the globe,” the lawsuit alleges.

    Several women, meanwhile, were eventually subjected to “coerced sexual contact,” including “several sexual acts with the exception of actual penetration, in various states of undress,” the lawsuit alleges.

    So Ballard’s way to catch sex predators was to literally turn himself into one lol
