@Opo Because it's inconsistent to the original post that refers to Joe's shit post about the political compass and the kali yuga. How is slavery, alt right, right wing political structures and misquoting a user relevant to the OP's original post? These branching topics are not directly addressing the original post, and because of that we end up trailing off of the main topic of this thread. Otherwise, what's the point of talking about Joe Rogan's shit post when the thread is talking about slavery, right wing ideologies? The thread then becomes like a wild west and any topics go now, therefore what's the point of discussing about the main topic when we're diverging so hard away from it? If any user want's to discuss branching ideas, they have to at the end of their post explain how that new branch relates to the main topic. Otherwise it's derailing the thread.

@How to be wise If it is logically true that weak men produce bad times, and bad times produce strong men, that weak men produce strong men, then the logic is true.

@Raze No, the real issue is lack of self responsibility, and lack of keeping oneself accountable, and too many ways to screw yourself over due to too much free will. However, on the surface level I agree a bit with you. The other half of the parenting equation, the masculine compassion, ideally a real father is present, but if a not so good father figure, or lack of father figure, the other or whoever/whatever is doing the parenting has to be able to switch to masculine love, with some skill.

@DocWatts First of all, I don't think it's honest to edit some user's original quote in order to attack some caricature that's not there, and exaggerated in such a way that it seems to address the political directly, when in fact the original post wasn't directly addressing the American politics, it's addressing the consciousness of some of the American politics. This is your edited quote from that user 'America's democracy is actually working well, and exactly as it's designed.'. This is the original quote below: As you see here, in fact both your post and his are in agreement with each other. I don't see any reason why you'd stereotype his post in such a way. Why the attack, and why the doubling down on his take? Also, how is this relevant to Joe Rogan's shit post about the political compass, when the political compass image he edited has little to do with slavery and antiquity, and more to do with the Kali Yuga?

I had a few jackets depicting weapons. It was a really cool design, but I sometimes get flake over it When I was at high school in the USA. I had little idea then that guns were such a heated topic. 15 ishes ago.

@JuliusCaesar For examples, when you get older, you answers change over time about a topic. It's like that with Crysty, there's no definitive, quantitative answer that she can give that absolutely answers her existence. So far, it's either she's a ghost, a spirit, a Tulpa, an Alien projecting onto my reality, another person projecting onto my reality, a Deity in disguise, or a mixture of them all. I'm leaning closer to her being either a spirit/Tulpa, that's my intuition, but that's not a satisfactory answer for me. I will have to keep on going with investigating this further for me.

@Jodistrict Yes, finally someone is addressing the issue directly. Users, instead of making appeals to lack of alternatives, predatory capitalism and to sunk cost fallacy for the majority, suggest what can be done to make the count ratio more useful instead of galloping to other points that seem related but are rabbit holes leading to nowhere. So far, my suggestions have way more merit than what I've seen so far. Come on self actualisers.

@Danioover9000 I guess you conceded to me then.

@Username Sounds about right.

@Joel3102 Basically it is what it is, work with what you have.

@WokeBloke I am everything that exists, and the absence of all creation, and all of division that destroys. Who am I?

@Jennjenn The main issues I see with this is scale, whose being asked, and rights issues. If you mean just in this forum, we all should stop calling women over 18 girls, ok, but do you mean just this forum? How about other forums? Do you also include all men too? How about all women? This is the problem with your post, it's weak and vague. Also, do you include yourself to this standard as well? And the social ramifications of this is also a factor, and whose being asked to refer to other women not as over 18 girls matters too. If you're asking a guy not to call over women over 18, you're semi justified, but you're also infringing on that person's right to how he speaks to women. If you're asking a woman not to refer to other women as over 18, you are also infringing on that woman's right to speak how she speaks to others of her same sex. Considering also who you are in relation to who the person you asked to not refer to other women as over 18, will make your request sound strange and out of context. Also context is important, because you don't have enough information as to why somebody referred to a woman as an over 18 girl. You don't know if that was an insult, or an inside joke, or if all that was in a theatre, or in a dream. So don't go demanding how others refer to others, you don't know enough.

My No Nut November report: Extreme levels of energy and productivity. Healthy sense of self confidence. Less overall negative mood swings. Better sleep, and better stamina throughout a work out. Less feeling too hot or cold, less of the shakes and phantom itchiness. Some confidence in exerting my will power and self discipline to stay in integrity with the No Nut November challenge Some confidence in self control and not giving in to the cravings and masturbate in an unhealthy way(at the end). Also increase in appreciation, and easier access into the 'zone'. Much respect for sexual cravings, sexuality and sexual energy. That energy helped fuel more of my creativity in some side projects I was doing. Some boost in mental activity, like my contemplations are more broad and deeper. Also, brain storming is more easier and I generate more ideas. I ended up resolving some problems prior to No Nut November. So, all in all, another very interesting month for me, and proved myself yet again capable of dealing with a lot of problems I sometimes thought were impossible, if not really difficult, if not difficult due to lack of resources and energy, time, money ect...

@Yog Nice share.

@Charlotte Please tells us all about your diet, nutrition, health, sleep, fitness and other relevant factors like stress as well, in detail if you can. Also, give us an approximation of what cycle your eczema is in, and how long has it been since the last one you had?

@Carl-Richard Alright then, you can keep your leaky spoon, and I'll have the whole soup then

@Jennjenn I'm confused. Are you asking us all to stop calling women over 18 girls, or are you asking yourself to stop calling women over 18 girls? And what are you going to do when that woman prefers to call herself an over 18 girl?

@QandC List one of them.

@Tim R That can be a bit tricky. I hope the Youtuber asked in advance, and Leo's ok with it. I could see there might be a legitimate case if Leo's not ok with it, and let's YouTube know and it shuts the channel down.

@Carl-Richard Would you agree with this example of personal and collective responsibility? Imagine being in a restaurant and you ordered french soup. The waitor/waitress brings the soup, and you see that the french soup not only contains the bread in the bottom of the soup, the onions, the bits of meat and spices, but the bowl holding the french soup is a hollowed out, baked big bread as well. In this example, are you saying to those who over value personal responsibility (the french soup) to also consider eating the bread bowl (value collective responsibility and environment) as well, and to appreciate that the bread being the largest responsibility is holding together different possibilities of personal responsibilities?

@QandC ?‍♀️ Removing the dislike count doesn't incentivise less trolling and negativity. The video would still be misleading anyways. Can't wait for YouTube to remove the flag button next, cuz we don't need the flag anymore!

@QandC As a member of the YouTube community, which doesn't extend to an individual's freedom of speech. I wouldn't conflate the two as equivalent.

@Leo Gura I'm not arguing for the trolls and people who engage in dislike attacks and those that spew negativity, my case is with having the right to use a metric system to rate a YouTube video as a member of the YouTube community, or as a YouTube content creator. The reason why I'm for rating this way is because there's more utility in rating due to the following: 1. You immediately get the gist as to the value of a video. The like:dislike ratio does show the viewer the popularity of said topic, and whether or not the topic is a positve or negative. If the likes are higher, you go in with the framing of finding out why the video is liked that much, and same for the dislikes being higher, you also want to find out why they don't like the video. By removing the dislike count, you go in assuming that the video is overall positive due to the view count and likes count, but sometimes that creates a false sense of expectation. 2. You have less framing to make sense of the title, thumbnail and topic of the video. Before the dislike count was removed, the Youtuber could pre judge the quality of the video from looking at all those factors, from pre viewing the video if previews are enabled, and looking at the ratio count. Without the dislike count, there's once again a false sense of positivity to a video, and if videos don't have a preview, the viewer/youtuber is limited to watching the videos and decided for themselves, investing a bit more time when they could have otherwise. 3. The current practice of censorship is mirroring current politics too much and their ways of censorship. By forcing YouTube members to not dislike a video and only like a video is similar to being forced to vote for certain political groups, but not being able to vote for other groups, or not being able to have a referendum and to re-count votes. YouTube members with legitimate criticism to a video now have to comment about that, but this is ineffective due to the rate of comments, the like/dislike comments and sometimes comments being hidden or lost in the scrolling, along with mixing technically worded comments with other types of comments is inefficient to feedbacks. I've already posted a revision of YouTube's rating system, that for YouTube members only, they have to fill a brief questionnaire and explain why they liked/disliked the video to validate the count. The reasons why I think this is good is for the following: 1. This creates accountability and self knowledge. The YouTube member knows what he/she likes and dislikes in a video, and the YouTube content creator knows what to improve upon. The staff also can use those feedbacks to further tailor and improve their A.I. 2. This encourages articulation of thinking about a video. 3. Some members don't want their constructive comments to be public and be down voted or up voted ridiculously. So, to rectify this, the feedback you provide prior to giving a like/dislike count is private and only viewable to the content creator, A.I and YouTube staff. This keeps the general comments section general and not mixed with technical constructive feedback. I think my solution will overall improve YouTube, if YouTube is open to my solution. Also, While I may have a degree of addiction to negativity, you claiming that I am and my mind is negativity addict is uncharitable and bad faith and bears little in actually refuting my post in merit alone. That's bad faith in attacking my character instead of my points. Bad! So please refute me based on my points, or enlighten me to why my view is lacking something. Assuming that my posting is largely negatively driven is also false, because I'm posting out of some concern for YouTube, and to have a discussion that's cohesive to me. But like I said before, I don't condone trolling and dislike attacks. I condone articulation of thinking instead, and the merits of it.

@unborn_chicken In general, most can't argue or be logical in this forum nowadays. Most people have varying degrees of skill in being logical as well, so long as they don't emote too much in posts in general there shouldn't be too much backlash at all.
