  • I disagree with your take on men being emotionally weaker. It’s merely an excuse to avoid learning emotional intelligence and it’s just a symptom of how they are socialised. Men don’t learn how to properly channel and express their emotions, instead being told to bottle them up or repress themselves from early childhood (stuff like being told “You’re a boy, stop crying” or “Man up and get over it”). It leads to a less empathetic world and makes people insensitive and inconsiderate.











  • It’s so interesting to me how money can have such a different value for different people. I live in the EU yet I make less than 1000€ a month even though prices are at EU levels. This would more than double my income and it would mean I could finally afford new clothes, I wouldn’t have to worry about having money for food, bills would be paid on time and I could even save up a meaningful ammount! It would be a literal life-saver.



  • It boggles the mind that people won’t just install WhatsApp or Signal or Telegram or anything of the sort, and would rather exclude people from group chats or deal with a worse experience. I mean, it’s not that big of an ask! I’m sure most people have more than one app on their phone that just sits there and wastes space, why not replace it with one of those? Heck, even Facebook’s Messenger could be an alternative.


  • I don’t think downvotes, as they are now, are for any particular purpose other than showing the poster you don’t like the post. What I mean to say is that limiting downvotes for off topic stuff isn’t enforceable and poor quality content is pretty subjective. Not sure if you are aware of the bean posts recently, but I didn’t like them and would consider them poor quality memes. Almost everyone else loved them though, which is totally fine, but I still downvoted those.

    Anyone armed with critical thinking skills will eventually reason themselves out of echo chambers, just like your story proves! Although I feel like the ban was more due to the admins of the sub than the downvotes. There are communities where downvoted content isn’t removed if it doesn’t break any rules, those are the ones people should look for.
