Things can always be boiled down. But the more you boil it down, the more previous knowledge you assume people have in common, and it might happen that they don’t understand because they didn’t have knowledge you assume they had.

Conversely, if you include too much information, not boil it down enough, you lose people by being bored of getting told things they already know.

In any case, it’s not an easy balance and I’m just doing my best here to guess which amount of “boiling down” is “just right”. But thanks for your comment, I’ll take it into consideration.

People can not actually grasp so many people existing. We were never meant to live in such large societies, historically, we only had a tribe that consists of maximum ~150 people.

It has been scientifically proven that we can’t hold effective social relations to a larger number of people. The exact limit is not clear afaik, but what this essentially means, in a community of millions, we abstract away groups of people into “the left”, “the bourgeoisie”, “the poor” which allows our brain to form social relations to these groups of people with the limited capacity it has, essentially treating each group as a single person.

Now of course, this abstraction is entirely inadequate, as each collection of people is always much more diverse than the abstract concept we use to replace them, and they aren’t really single individuals, they don’t act with a collective mind.

But most people do not understand this. They just work with these abstractions, these groups of people, as if they were real single people, because in some manner, it does work. If the abstraction actually groups correctly, then the ability to reason like this works decently well. But everyone is always wrong about these abstractions. They are always too general. They always fail to consider that there’s not a single mind at work.

It’s such an easy mistake to make. I see smarter people than Musk do it all the time. The enemy, like always, is missing knowledge, missing humility, missing self-awareness, unreasonable confidence, fear of the unknown/being wrong. All of which Musk falls into.

I don’t see any solution but to educate about this whenever possible. To speak to people about it. To raise the education about stuff like this wherever, whenever we can. I’m trying to do my part.

He obviously just greeted everyone enthusiastically.

Yeah, but I mean your intention was still “lol this is so stupid, let’s see if this shit will grow”, maybe subconsciously or something. But maybe I’m just being autistic and that’s just what you wanted to express by “lying” about your intentions, I sometimes forget that’s how people communicate.

Sorry in any case, carry on, have fun, love you :)

wtf do you mean, you fucking planted it xD of course it growing was your intention, unless you didn’t know that plants grow when planted, which I wouldn’t believe you even if you said it.

I’m a guy. I’m using dating apps often (poly) and have found multiple people that I’m currently dating. One person I met there just moved in with me a few weeks ago.

These people I found are the most wonderful I ever met. They’re kind, self-aware, empathetic and aware of the potential pitfalls of these apps.

I like only women I actually like. I have not paid for it. The women I met aren’t doing it for validation.

Yet everything you said is also completely true. But that’s simply because dating apps reflect the real world, you get, in a very small percentage, good people actually worth talking to, and a large majority of people only wanting validation or will say anything for quick sex. Just like you get in real life. Most people in real life are also not worth talking to.

I fully concede that the negative aspects of people are enhanced or at least more visible in dating apps. However, that’s just it, it’s more pronounced, not actually fundamentally different.

… did you read my comment? “Continuing past cues of disinterest is one of the most unattractive things you can do.”

Behavior is part of attractiveness, it’s not only physical.

I can’t comment about your ability of course, but it seems to me more like you’re limiting yourself with this mindset. I’m not really sure how it is confusing to handle two devices, because one device is already so incredibly easy. Changing one incredibly easy one to two seems to still be incredibly easy.

It’s the expression of interest by unattractive people that is annoying. Continuing past cues of disinterest is one of the most unattractive things you can do.

Because “basic makeup pasted fake ass girls” are also people, they don’t deserve any more hate or dislike than anyone else based on this alone. It can not be your type, but the original person talking about this obviously had a relatively intense dislike/resentment.

I mean, dating apps are also just “real world behavior”, we don’t suddenly leave the real world by picking up a phone.

The effect is just much much more pronounced on dating apps because of logistics, you can’t get hit on by 100 of the hottest guys in your area in 5 minutes in real life, maybe you get hit on by 20 guys the whole evening. And those 20 guys are a local dating pool, which may not necessarily include the 20 hottest guys out of the whole area, so the hottest one of the 20 may still be average.

Or girls who put some effort into their appearance? Fuck those whores trying to look attractive am I right?!

An average guy who shoots his shot is practically already above average. Most don’t shoot their shot, or very very timidly with maximum safety

And people think they’re immune to propaganda. Probably the majority read this meme and think Vance is just that stupid.

I mean he probably is that stupid, but not because of this particular instance of making a joke about the cold.

If there’s too little content, that likely means that you spend more than a couple of hours on reddit. Yep, there’s not enough content to fill your day here. But also, maybe there shouldn’t be. If you go on here like max 1hr each day, you won’t notice a difference. Anything more, yeah, you’re “missing” content. But why spend more than 1hr daily here?..

Much better to be kinda effective and it works for you than try to be perfect and fail :)

But what do you actually need in the first place? I mean it, all the stuff you mentioned I’ve never touched on a phone, how much worse would your life be without them?

You definitely don’t need any programming learning apps to learn programming, I know that because I’ve personally done it. AI chats serve what purpose? Can’t you chat with real people? Art generators for what? What did you do before you were able to generate art? Audio and video editing on a phone means you can’t be doing this professionally, what are you actually editing? Why not do it on an older laptop with larger screen that actually has access to open source apps that do this properly and almost as good as professional proprietary software?

Video and audio editing on a phone honestly sounds terrible 🤣

Of course they’re fucking leechers, only 0.3 ratio? Pathetic

It’s used to dodge DMCAs, the extension is trusted by many.
