wow, i wonder what would cause people in the united states to develop mental health issues! must be social media or something in the water!
most socially aware techie
I definitely think the youths are stressed because of ‘environmental pollution,’ but not in the way this commenter means…
This is one of the dumbest takes I have ever read.
Another attempt at mainstreaming a far right talking point. Worrying how much shit from hatereading stuff a decade ago or so comes up again now.
Anyway, hope his girlfriend/boyfriend and exes are getting proper therapy.
Is this supposed to be a joke? I can’t tell.
From the sidebar:
Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here’s the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
It’s highlighting a bad take.
Yeah, I looked it up after I commented. But by then it was too late to take it back, lol
Hackernews used to be pretty laid back libertarian and left. Now you get takes like that linked comment a whole lot, and brigade downvotes.
no version of the orange site I’ve experienced has ever been laid back or recognizably leftist, but the place sure is much more openly a fascist shithole than it was when I first started reading
If only rationalist shaming helped reduce overthinking.
I hate this stuff. Bullying someone for being fat is about as likely to make the obesity rate go down as calling people who wear glasses “four-eyes” is going to reduce the rates of astigmatism.
Yes the average weight in the west has gone up, and this isn’t great, but more people being fat is a symptom, not a cause of higher rates of lifestyle diseases, and higher rates of lifestyle diseases have been caused by social changes over which fat people have no control, like the rise of the automobile and processed food.
I am certain the person who wrote that is an idiot
