I don’t think these two things are mutually exclusive

More expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better. You could easily spend $2000 on some “smart” washing machine, but that doesn’t mean it’s better than a standard $500 washing machine. I would argue that a lot of these gimmicks actually make the products worse.

I will forever choose to die on the hill that tumblr humor is not funny

This is some bullshit. You can go to Home Depot or Lowe’s right now and get yourself a pretty decent washing machine for $600 that will last you a decade.

The only people who end up in the situation like OP are the people who buy overly cheap products or overly gimmicky products, and then wonder why they don’t work as well as the standard products. If you buy a $150 washing machine from AliExpress or buy a washing machine that requires wifi, then don’t be surprised if they stopped working not too long after you bought them.

Therapy has become the new buzzword to prescribe to any individualistic issue because most people don’t know what it is or who its for, they just think it’s a silver bullet solution to everything because everybody else says so… but it’s not.

Therapy is great for specific people with specific disorders, it’s there to help provide these people with solutions and treatments to improve their conditions. It’s not meant to be a replacement for a social circle or to fix the problems in your life.

Not to mention that therapy is either expensive or hard to access or the therapist you do get to see are usually not that great. It is very hard and very rare to find a good therapist that’s affordable and nearby. Even then, a therapist can only do so much. They’re trained to work through common disorders using several established methods, but not much beyond that. Therapists can help you overcome your anxiety, but they can’t help you find meaningful relationships.

This is doubly true for men, because a lot of men are facing issues related to finding purpose and meaning in life, and that’s something that’s beyond the scope of therapy. Maybe these issues could be resolved as a result of treating a disorder, but that’s not always the case. The point is that therapy is not a magical solution, and it’s not going to solve huge societal problems like men turning their backs on society.

I too quiz my partner on the anatomy of genitalia when we’re hanging out

I don’t worship youtubers, I’m just not braindead enough to deny reality because of my myopic personal preferences. This guy has a 110 million subscribers and his every video has been getting millions of views for well over a decade now. He is one of the biggest and most well known people on the internet, and he has a lot of influence because of it. When this guy puts out a video about a cause, his point of view is going to introduced and adopted by a lot of people. In this case, he put out a video on a cause that people in here advocate for, and they’re pleasantly surprised that their views are getting this kind of exposure. You not understanding this obvious nuance is your problem, not anybody else’s.

“I’m incapable of understanding the nuance of someone with a lot of influence speaking out in favor of a topic I advocate for because I’m ignorant and judgemental towards certain activities and people who make a living off of them”

Yeah okay, bud. Good mentality you got there. But you’re right, this conversation is pointless, so let’s end it here.

This isn’t a random youtuber and his video isn’t clickbait. You not understanding why people are talking about him posting this video is not the same as these discussions being pointless or spam.

People are out here calling him a nazi and that’s just crazy. It’s an example of how the left is not immune to propaganda, misinformation, poor critical thinking skills.

Oh no, 4 different posts that were posted on 4 different communities on 4 different instancess, all of which are about the topic he’s talking about in the video… The horror

The only people who have called this guy a nazi are terminally online far left jackoffs who get all their information from other jackoffs in the same echo chambers.

He’s one of the biggest and most loved youtube personalities. He has influence, and him saying this kind of stuff is a big deal. Pretending he’s a nobody shows that you’re simply ignorant.

That would literally be the best this to happen to this god forsaken platform. There isn’t nearly enough users, diversity of content, or sheer volume to make this place a genuine alternative to Reddit. Getting an influx from a huge youtuber like him means this place might finally get active communities for mainstream hobbies like sports, music, and videogames.

Calling this guy an ass shows that you have no idea who he is. You’re probably the type of person who thinks they’re well informed but exclusively get their info from echo chambers like Lemmy.

There’s no redemption arc because he literally never did anything wrong. His content was always family friendly

He literally never did anything evil or bad. This is a myth that was entirely created by the far left, who falsely call everything fascist, despite never watching his content.

He was never right wing in the first place

This is such a counterproductive take. It ignores why Harris actually lost (like Biden running again and refusing to step down until the end), while also implying that the Democrats didn’t do anything wrong whatsoever and the fault lies with the electorate. If that’s the takeaway for the DNC from this past election then we’re cooked.

I never understood biphobia, a bi person choosing to be in a relationship with you means that they chose you out of everybody. It should be a feeling of flattery, not paranoia.
