> You will be weaker for it.
I'd say it's the opposite, it's very easy to get mind collapse because your feed is filled with bullshit that makes you sad and angry.
I personally block nearly no one (on fedi at least), because no one here annoy me enough. But i won't condemn other people for using blocks and won't say they're weak or stupid because of it 🤷♀️ -

I understand when people don't like authoritarian moderation when someone who isn't you dictates you what you allowed to see, but i really don't understand the rejection of personal blocks.
After all, "ignore" is the same as a block in its effect, but for some reason you'd rather spend the resources of your own mind instead of handing that operation over to a machine. -

> I dunno, any place with humans is pretty unbearable
This is true, but i've read articles that facebook is explicitly boosting posts with "hot takes" and other stuff provoking people to start shitting to increase engagement, so i choose to stay away from it.

I hope this person will add birds to the list of allowed species 😀 -

Facebook? What do you need it for, some job-related stuff? -

I learned that it's a really painful website, even more painful than the twitter :thonk:
Maybe i'm wrong 🤷♀️ -

It's perfectly fine to add a bit of humanity to evil characters or a bit of controversy to positive ones, it indeed makes the story more alive and plausible, but JKR just ruined it in a very stupid way. She really doesn't seem to understand what she was trying to say. If she had anything to say at all 🤷♀️ -

Not really.
JKR doesn't understand all this leftist egalitarian anti-slavery anti-racist etc. stuff. She doesn't understand the logic and reasoning behind it, knowing only that saying words like "racism is bad" somehow leads to being seen as a good person. So she tries to play with these themes. But then introduces house elves as a natural slave race, using good old confederate arguments.
Honestly, GPT2 has more room for generalization.
If this thing is an egalitarian propaganda, it's a really silly and low-effort one. -

Don't be too harsh to them, it's okay to subjectively like art of questionable quality. Sometimes, if people like something for subjective reasons, they are able to turn a blind eye to the shortcomings of the work.
I for one really like spec ops the line, i personally consider it one of the greatest games of the last decade. And i don't care if the gameplay in it is complete rubbish 😀 -

> Why do people like Harry Potter? It's the characters.
That's not true. I personally never liked harry potter, but i've heard more than once from it's fans that the characters (and harry himself) suck, but they love that city-fantasy wizarding world and fandom -

But was he unstoppable? And was he even a monster at all, and not just a lonely and ugly suffering dude?
Frankenstein's monster wasn't even remotely like some unimaginable inhuman eldritch horror, it's not hard to understand and sympathise with him. To me, this story is more about victor being a cunt. He created the monster and then throughout the story tried to absolve himself of any responsibility for it, refusing to try to fix his mistake or mitigate the harm in any way.
The monster offered victor to create him an ugly girlfriend so they could run off to some ass-end of the world and never bother him or anyone else, but he refused. -

I read that it was the first real science fiction, since the monster was created by the "scientific" method, but i can't call it horror. It's more of a drama, tragedy or something like that. The monster is not here to scare you :thinking: -

Evilposting is quite unusual behavior for me personally, most of the time i'm calm and polite even if i feel sad and angry as fuck. When i start posting evil shit, i usually only get worse 😖 -

You can, but it turns out people rarely do, most poor people spend money on something meaningful, food-housing-education etc.
Can we call it "abuse" in the same way we call maliciously applying for conditional benefits "abuse"? I think probably not 🤷♀️ -

You can't abuse ubi, man 😀
You can't maliciously ask for help because you're going to get the money anyway and no one cares how you spend it -

I read frankenstein out of curiosity and i can see why some might find it boring as shit, but i personally find it.... okay, not great, but not terrible. I think if victor had agreed to create an ugly girlfriend for his creature, but it turned out that both monsters were disgusting to each other, it would have been more funny and terrible at the same time 😀
But at least this thing is relatively short.
...
Our literature teacher in high school was more liberal about this question, she allowed us to write essays about books we like instead of rigidly following the school course, so i wrote my essays about the stainless steel rat -

I see no other reason to watch movies :thinking:
I dislike avatar2 and studio ghibli cartoons, i can't watch movies only because they have good graphics or have couple of interesting scenes or concepts.
