Young men, like 18-24 year old males on Hexbear: Is the culture for your age group completely fucked, or am I out of touch?
  • Aren't tiktoks necessarily like <60 seconds? That's intentionally engineered to be more mindless than a YouTube at least has the potential to be. On the other hand, I hear on the news that the tiktoks are radicalizing the youths so I gotta give critical support.

    On the OTHER other hand, it's an APP owl-pissed

    I also appreciate that tiktok seems to intentionally lower the barrier to entry by (so I've heard) showing new accounts' videos to people, where youtube would bury them

  • Its crazy how important a book can be. A whole concept can be understood by a culture almost entirely through the lens of one piece of literature. It makes me think of the post "Sci-fi short stories are very efficient. You read something in 20 minutes and think about it for the rest of your life"

  • I think hasanabi does very good work and I certainly don't care about him using whatever tobacco product he wants/needs to, but he doesn't need to make it a personality trait. Like what's the stack of zyns behind him about? Come on dude. I know your audience trends older now but you do have some significant number of young and impressionable people watching.

  • Gavin Newsom signs laws to rein in Gaza protests at universities
  • I have never even heard of such an ideologically clean protest movement in my life. Even a whisper of something that might sound like antisemitism if you squint is immediately renounced and removed from the protest. You could not ask for better.

  • Why do all right wingers look deranged?
  • I don't know, he doesn't have that same cold lifelessness that other chuds have. I think in another life he could have been something positive. He has a vibe which is more manic and off the mark than the cold, calculating, and narcissistic attitude you can expect of your average chud. I think he does believe in something. I'm not defending him certainly.
