I'm actually gonna give the benefit of the doubt and assume this is actually a grown idiot lol

This 'compress' everything is such a waste of CPU and energy. Plus "oops, all your files are gone, tee hee". GZ everywhere is fucking stupid. More complexity for zero benefit.

Extreme/insane positions on everything. Not just one or two insane positions, not just political extremism; when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING. No nuance allowed. And it has to be fully sincere, otherwise you are dealing with a Jreg.

There are milder versions of this, but I have rarely met a child that didn't have a strongly held insane belief formed from their limited experiences. My favorite was a kid who told me that eating pasta supports fascism because it comes from Italy, so loving Italian products means you support Mussolini. Pizza is fine, though, because that's American.

Trick question: assume everyone is a child until proven otherwise.

When they start calling people "jr" or implying anyone who disagrees with them is too young to understand.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Yup, I immediately assume these people are children, because it likely comes from their own experiences being dismissed due to their age.

I can't say there is one. Every time i think to myself something like "goddamn, this person is immature" I remind myself that there's a high number of immature adults in the world including myself, so...?

When someone asks what’s a dead give away someone is a kid, it tells me they’re not old enough to remember the ASL days.

They hate porn.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

the only dead giveaway is if they get doxxed

The neat thing about anonymous discussion on the Internet is that it doesn't matter. What you have to say is all that matters.

I don't know anything about anyone and that's great.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR VAPID DRAMA. QUIT MUDDYING THE WATERS OF DISCUSSION WITH YOUR LACK OF ANY REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE.

Assuming that getting married means you'll never masturbate again.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Well. I was married to someone that thought it was disgusting, hated that I masturbated, and did her level best to shame me out of it. She also hated sex. (Well, with me; she suddenly liked sex once we were separated and she was dating.) And many fundamentalist religions do teach that no one should ever masturbate, and that women should always be sexually available to their husbands, no matter what. (Oh, and women don't have sexual needs or desires of their own, they just exist to fulfill male needs.)
