Based on your resume you are fit for the active shooter vacancy, Don't worry about weapons I just sent an FBI truck to your location, just check your mailbox or your nearest trashcan, all the parts are in a yellow plastic bag, you can assemble it yourself, think of it as a puzzle game but for lonely young adults.

Why did your neighborhood have a rapist

[-]

lovelessowl@reddit

Anon’s problems with modern society: Cannot scrounge for coins at Walmart at 2am. McDonald’s is expensive (exacerbated by lack of Walmart coin haul). Cannot use restaurant bathrooms for free. Nothing is open late (presumably where anon can seek shelter from the elements and neighborhood rapist). Cannot shout racial slurs.

Anon is a deranged homeless person.

Also I don't wanna fully agree with anon here since he's pretty racist, but part of me kind of gets it

Multiple parts of his post suggest that he eats at McDonald's quite often, it's a shame there's no way to figure out why he has issues with IBS.

Mcd's has nothing to do with IBS. OP likely has diverticulitis.

AnalTyrant@reddit

Oh, I'm not suggesting that McD's gave him IBS, but I do think that eating the kind of garbage food that McD's serves, a half dozen times per week for 20+ years is probably going to contribute to flare-ups and such for Anon.

Call_Me_Pete@reddit

Idk about the world overall being worse. Definitely in some serious ways, but up to roughly 2020 we were way better off than we were before in a lot of metrics.

“Everyone’s music taste sucks” in particular is mega cope - good music is anywhere, and finding new artists has never been easier if one were motivated to try. It also throws this whole post into the “old man yells at clouds” bin because this is almost universally what old people say about music of younger generations.

Generally tho wage increases being massively outpaced by corporate earnings growth fucks society IMO.

[-]

mcwopper@reddit

I’m sure it’s part of the overall equation but frankly I wouldn’t give a shit about corporate earnings if pay had kept up with essentials like housing and food. They forgot to keep up the basic social contract

[-]

Call_Me_Pete@reddit

That’s true but kinda feels like asking too little. Why shouldn’t average wages grow at the pace of average corporate profits? Are the people working for the companies not the ones driving growth, and if they are, why don’t they get compensated for their success?

IBS is just anxiety for women. Not even joking, the treatment is antidepressants.

Funny how you can use reddit but not google

spookedghostboi@reddit

This is wild. Dude go google "IBS". Or are u talking to urself?

[-]

futurettt@reddit

"Antidepressants address multiple facets of IBS:Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs): Such as amitriptyline and desipramine. These are often the first-line choice for IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D). They help by slowing down gut transit time and increasing your pain threshold to relieve abdominal cramping.Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): Such as citalopram (Celexa) and fluoxetine (Prozac). These are often preferred for IBS with constipation (IBS-C) because they can accelerate gut transit, and they are also highly effective at treating underlying anxiety or hypervigilance"

[-]

spookedghostboi@reddit

Ok? That doesnt mean its an anxiety disorder lol. Also what tf did you mean when you told me to google it? IBS is a bowel disorder and you are claiming its an anxiety disorder.

[-]

futurettt@reddit

Man you really are dumb as fuck

Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Hallmark of Psychological Distress in Women?

"Women are disproportionately affected by IBS due to a complex interplay between genetic, environmental, and psychosocial factors, along with a crucial role of the gut–brain axis in modulating both bowel function and pain perception. Evidence suggests a strong association between psychological distress and IBS symptoms."

[-]

spookedghostboi@reddit

this does not help your claim lol. IBS is not an anxiety disorder and none of your sources assert that it is. Reading comprehension isnt your strong suit, I guess

[-]

futurettt@reddit

Right, has nothing to do with anxiety - which is why studies show that there is a strong link between anxiety & IBS, and that it is treated with anxiolytic medicines such as antidepressants. Being a contrarian in the face of incontrovertible evidence isnt cool or edgy, its just patent dibshittery

This sent me down a rabbit hole and while I’m not convinced it’s purely psychological, it is pretty unreal the extent to which it’s linked to psychological comorbidities and lacks a known physical underpinning

futurettt@reddit

The exact cause isnt known, but med schools teach that anxiety (or, less commonly, depression) causes an imbalance in the gut brain axis that results in GI disturbances. Also, like I said, the demographics are overwhelmingly female.

As a person who lives outside of US and who watched this change to your culture happening gradually over time from outside, you are way, waay oversimplifying this. These are valid, and what is worse, this kind of enshittification if life is worldwide.

[-]

blaqsupaman@reddit

The enshittification, yes, but complaining about not being able to call people slurs without getting social backlash has nothing to do with that. This person is angry at most of the right things but placing the blame on gay and black people is not the answer.

Nope. The golden age of the Internet was before women learned how to use it. A rite of passage was saying the n-word in a call of duty lobby. That time has long since passed

Sofagirrl79@reddit

As a woman true,the internet was glorious from what I heard till I logged in in 1998, after that it was all downhill 😞

[-]

mogusXIII@reddit

Well you see, the truth is, there have always been women on the internet. The trouble is, is that 99% of the time, anyone claiming to be a woman was actually a man. This was very difficult to verify without voice chat. Hence tits or gtfo.

For the remainder that were actually women, they would pretend to be men so they could enjoy the golden age as it was intended, for men.

It was only after the rise of Anita Sarkeesian and claims of toxic masculinity could we no longer say the r-word or f-word. The internet needed to be made safe for women so that they would not need to pretend to be men. Now we have e-thots, onlyfans, and fake girl gamers clogging up what was once the last safe space for men

[-]

Sofagirrl79@reddit

Internet has never been safe for anybody male or female, I'm 46 and past my prime to do only fans though lol,that said my mental maturity when it comes to jokes and stuff is like a 20 something guys humor and that's why I like this sub

Ecstatic-Compote-595@reddit

yeah but this is how my uncle sounded in 1999 and he's a chief of medicine at a hospital and he was a doctor then. oop is right everything did get worse since somewhere between maybe 2006 and 2012. Everything after that has been completely fucked and getting worse on a societal scale. The only difference is that people who were 5 then now have jobs and money for the first time so they think their life is better even though they basically get child labor wages and no benefits.

arbiter12@reddit

They first made it when they were unsure they would sell much of it, but now that they have a fanbase of guaranteed buyers, it's "too complicated"?

At some point we all need to agree that if we let companies own IPs exclusively, while they only do the bare minimum with them, then the free market has failed. Pretty much like being the only guy in the kingdom allowed to import tobacco, you're not going to care about speed, price, quality or customer satisfaction.

Sofagirrl79@reddit

The U.S has always been a bit low trust compared to say Japan,South Korea,or most of Western Europe before they took in immigrants from a certain part of the world

But in the U.S we are still declining into even more low trust despite reduced immigration since Trump took his second term,IDK just noticing things I guess

[-]

thinsoldier@reddit

"unchecked capitalism" is like what happened to Sears. While that did affect tens of thousands of employees over a short period of time, it's nowhere near as impactful to everyone as the noticeable reduction in consequences for people in general who do bad things in the last 15 years or so, especially in big cities. Cities in general are always going to be low trust. Even if everyone is the same race and nationality in a city, a large chunk will be from elsewhere in the country and have no history with the people already there when they move to the city.

[-]

sadacal@reddit

Yeah, it was just the protests that killed all the businesses. Nothing to do with shifting economics and the rise of remote work that covid brought. It was those goddamn protestors. Everyone knows once a business is torn down it can't be rebuilt anymore. That's why all of Europe is still rubble after WWII. There was just nothing they could do after their cities were bombed to shit.

[-]

thinsoldier@reddit

A lot of store owners were on the hook for cleaning up their destroyed property and didn't have the money to start over. You were lucky if insurance helped somewhat with the cleanup. In some regions lacking in entrepreneurs, when one business is destroyed, even if the landlord cleans up and rebuilds, the only people who had the chutzpah to start a business in their retail space were the same ones who just got wrecked.

[-]

NoctuaPavor@reddit

Why would a business reopen if it’s not profitable and they get destroyed every month and have to constantly repair their shit? Not worth the headache and insurance rates and theft

[-]

thinsoldier@reddit

50% chance that 90% of that damage was done by white protesters

[-]

pookiegonzalez@reddit

cops shouldn’t have done what they did and those protests wouldn’t have happened.

[-]

regman231@reddit

You’re right, that one bad thing directly caused the other bad thing which was a reaction to the first bad thing except it did nothing at all to improve the situation and just made it way worse and caused factors of magnitude more damage.

But yea let’s still blame the first thing even though the people involved in that thing were nowhere near the people who did the second bad thing

[-]

pookiegonzalez@reddit

if your main issue is with the reaction and not the cops for starting the problem to begin with you would’ve been bitching and moaning about MLK too you spineless liberal clown

MLK himself probably wouldn't defend your position. It was more rational back then.

pookiegonzalez@reddit

you have an extremely whitewashed idea of who MLK was. that guy was a full blown communist radical, he disrupted society, the CIA considered him a terrorist and killed him.
