When you are missing most parts of the communication and are doing less in person communication, what you get are a bunch of people who can no longer communicate properly. They sort become like autists, who also struggle with communication. But these people are not autistic, but rather have social atrophy. It is like someone who never goes to the gym and is a beanpole as a result thinking they have muscular dystrophy when in reality, they are just not using their muscles when they could be.

I have a theory about the supposed increase in autists. The internet is to blame. Not simply because people can look up terms and mis-diagnose themselves (though this is part of it), but rather that the internet has the unfortunate side effect of allowing people to be "terminally online."
When you are doing the vast majority of your communication through text alone, you are missing most of the actual communication you would get in a natural social situation (vocal inflections, emotions)

@WashedOutGundamPilot With proper source control this should be a trivial thing to fix.
@Shadowman311 I would not be shocked if he actually was impeached, as it serves the purposes for both parties. The Republicans get a "win" for getting rid of the corrupt Biden, and the Democrats can safely dispose their puppet who is a liability.
It would all be fake and gay, but it could happen. No real change would come of it, but it would make for convenient theater for the masses and only benefit those in power while those who are not get nothing substantial out of it.
You are worse than useless Rod Dreher. How about advocating for home schooling? As in, a solution that you can actually implement to change the circumstances you disapprove of rather than just ask for someone else to do something (especially when you know full well they won't).
"Just pressure the politicians, man! It will totally be effective and not just amount to nothing getting done! Because we can VOTE them out if they do not listen."
Perhaps he did not say that here, but I am willing to bet that is the logical conclusion to his ending statement. As if elections matter when they are openly stolen. I am willing to bet he also claims that the elections are completely fair and above board too.

Statements like this are why I have no respect for Rod Dreher:
"At some point, the public is going to have to start throwing stuff. Meaning voters are going to have to use the only tool they have -- pressuring elected politicians to change the way they spend the public's own money -- to fight back against the cultural elites who despise them, and who are corrupting our kids with this filth. The backlash is long overdue."
I am aware that the feminist and equality policies only come in after the prosperity is there, but too many people do not realize this. They think that the relationship is the inverse, and that leads to ruin for millions of people.
It is very, very important to understand the difference between "because of" and "in spite of." While I don't think the concept is not too hard to understand, many people fail to understand this when applying it to observations.
Many countries who are have tried to copy the model of Western countries have failed when they do not realize that our countries have been successful IN SPITE of feminism and equality bullshit, not because of it.
Like this could be parody, but it’s happened because I’ve had multiple, astonishing instances of stuff like this from women at the top of the profession. I had a chick with her R-ATP, kinda the first block of airline-ready qualification where you’re REALLY hitting the books and getting to know your systems, and her technical knowledge wasn’t just “I don’t know”, but actively wrong.
I’ve heard all kinds of ridiculous stuff, from “turbocharged (piston) engines are the same thing as turboprops, it’s just a label” to “flaps make you go faster because they add lift”, and every time I was left wondering how in the hell they were able to get so far with such gaps in their knowledge.
So if WE have it, with a battery of exams where you’re put through the wringer to prove your mettle in a continuous cycle of test-prep and last minute cramming, how bad is it in the rest of society?
@redmaple I am not surprised that they are lying or that they are doubling down, I just expected them to be less sloppy. Those who cannot see through the poorly constructed lies will only get in more trouble. I suppose that is natural selection.
@khaosklub Yes, but I expect them to be less sloppy than this. Usually they would say something like "there's no evidence of this," making it technically true.
It is so funny how journalists try to "debunk" things only to demonstrate that the "conspiracy theorists" are indeed probably correct.
"It was not the stabbing wounds that caused him to die, he died because of too much blood loss!"
Get a load of this:
>As soon as news of Wahl's death spread, so did rumors about what killed him. One theory was that the COVID vaccine was responsible. It wasn't, and an autopsy later showed that Wahl died from an aortic aneurysm.
Aneurysms. Isn't that when you have a bulge in your blood vessels. I wonder, could blood clots lead to an aneurysm? And don't the "vaccines" cause blood clot and heart issues?
Not sure if the journalist is a retard or a liar. Either fits.
Cute convo in remantposting about cheap babies.
Something I have always wanted to see tried in the USA is a good ol’ barn birth. It’s silly to give birth laying down when all your musculature is designed to help you squat-deliver. Down south in the bush the locals would just tie a rope to something tall to give mom something to grab on to, then she’d just squat down and have someone catch the baby. Seemed a hell of a lot faster than using all those abdominal accessory muscles instead of the majors.
Would you take a shit lying down?
@Humpleupagus @ademan That is a big problem with the anti-police left. All the gay and retarded policies they want ultimately requires the very police they hate to keep the enforcement and funding of those laws. And no, libertarian leftists are just delusional in thinking that their policies do not require authoritarian rule to operate.
@Trigg3rH4ppy You mean to tell me that I should be suspicious that Black Panther had a 100% rating in spite of the fact that most capeshit movies are just like the label describes?
@furgar No lie, I have had this discussion before there was any coof with coworkers. And I know it was pre-coof because we has it in office. They were talking about heart attacks while shoveling snow, and I remember being quite skeptical.
Maybe this time it was a coincidence, but I hate to think that they were already starting the gaslighting and planning early. If so, they got just plain sloppy with reports of video games causing heart attacks of all things.
@gusana Premise: women are bad at arguments, they often rely on shaming tactics such as "you are a lover incel." Examples are provided in said meme, and you did exactly the same thing. All you did was say "men are stupid too" and use more shaming language. I will grant you that you did not use point 2.
And know the difference between you're and your. You belittle others in ways you yourself are guilty of being.
Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.
