This is why people like this are told to go outside or touch grass.

    Frankly all of 4chan should.

    But then our supply chain of clinically insane greentexts would fail.

    I heard a story about a whole world that was perfect because they locked a kid up in a room and threw all the bad stuff in there with the kid. The poor kid suffered all of the world's miseries so that others could enjoy life. That kid's name? 4chan.

    4chan is 99% deplorable garbage. I won't even go into /b/. Helllll no. But oddly enough, some of the internet's best memes come out of there.

    4chan is what the internet would look like if everything had the bare minimum of moderation. Actually a very interesting case study about the human psyche, and I've had many a interesting conversation on there, especially early internet days.

    Is it a shithole? Overall, yes. But the right board at the right time is truly early internet ethos.

    Through this sieve would come the ascended madmen. Those who escaped the cave and rejected the reality without, retreating to their chamber of hate and stagnation. The truly unhinged. No more naive, parroted bastardizations of the Socratic method. Only irreparables.

    This select choir of lunatics voluntarily ablating their sanity will be decadence enough, I think

    Gonial angle is this:

    Canthal tilt is that:

    As I was googling I've seen articles mentioning some angles statistically more attractive than others, that's predictable, but then incels take it as another reason why they are genetically predisposed to stay virgins and have no power to change that.

    Interacting face-to-face with non-degenerates results in normal chat. Whoda thunk?

    I think their cope is that "people aren't mentioning that but they think it" etc

    I like how ambiguously

    This place

    can either mean "4chan" or "outside."

    go outside

    interact with people

    nobody is talking about linux

    nobody is talking about the bad thing that amazon did today

    nobody is talking about self hosting or privacy

    everyone just having normal and relatively pleasant conversation and going on with their day

    I have friends from high school who fell into the alt-right rabbit hole. They are obsessed with transgenderism. If you believe their depressing timelines, trans people are absolutely everywhere, behaving like total degenerates and grooming kids left and right. They send me an unhealthy amount of videos to prove their claims.

    Meanwhile in the real world, I've encountered maybe 5 trans people that I recognized as such, and they were behaving normally, and not one tried to groom my kids! But if I tell them that they dismiss it on account of my woke mind virus / Trump derangement syndrome. They're single, don't have kids, and spend most of their time doomscrolling or watching the French version of Fox News, but they know better than me what's going on in my kids' school...

    No one maybe talking about lookism but they're practicing it.

  • Exactly.

    Honestly, if I was dating today, I probably wouldn't select my SO based on looks, because let's face it, we're both getting older and a bit less attractive. But that literally doesn't matter to me and I find them beautiful, because of the life we've spent together. I was initially attracted to them based on looks, but after some weeks, that really didn't matter any more.

    Likewise with friends, I probably initially made my friends based on looks, but I honestly don't care what they look like anymore, they're just my friends.

    Wait, really? Whenever I spend more time at work or at home I tend to forget how many really attractive people are really out there. Whenever I go out after a long period of time I end up being positively surprised. I would also not look at Tinder as an example, but because of the opposite: people on tinder look much uglier than in real life. But then again, usually outside you don't look at people for more than one or two seconds, while on tinder there's loads of photos for you to examine every single flaw

    Because online, people only talk about those things.

    In the real world, they are doing them. And so much more. But usually when you're not looking.

    What, no mention of phrenology? I've lost touch with 4chan, too much grass touching for me.
