Uh, what's happening here? The post shows no content for me, and clicking on the title only redirects me back to the post itself. Yet other people in the comment section are talking as if there was some specific content here, other than just the title "ravages of socialism".

Am I missing something here? Is there a malfunction, or did OP edit their post after the fact so that the actual content is just gone?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

The ravages of socialism have resulted in a shortage of posts, forcing some lemmings to survive on titles alone

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Same same. Was the source taken down?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Same.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I wonder if it was related to the hack

“What the hell are we going to do without viral scat porn videos?” cries “Up yours woke moralists”

Didn’t that guy lobotomise himself in Russia?

[-] [email protected] 72 points 1 year ago

Tldr kinda

He got addicted to benzos and had himself put in a coma in russia to cold turkey it (against advice to ween off it from doctors in north america). Shit got fucky and he got brain damage from it.

Couple levels of lols there since he did papers on drug addiction in the past and his schtick is not looking for easy answers... but thats the one he took.

That's my first funniest story of JP, the second being him posting some S&M british milking porn on Twitter while blaming the CCP

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I also like the one about him absolutely destroying himself with the insane all-meat diet his daughter espoused. Not sure if that was before or after the benzos and whether there's a causal link, though..

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

JP is one of the greatest examples of how you can be smart in one narrowly defined way, and an absolute dipshit in so many others. I never really bothered with the guy as the subject doesn't interest me all that much, but I hear he was a leading voice at one point, and a fairly coherent one at that. And then based on his early success and subsequent fans, he let it get to his head and started thinking he was the smartest guy in every room.

Another example is Steve Jobs. Autistic rainman style levels of design, marketing and usage knowledge, but apparently couldn't do simple shit like feed himself properly or maintain his personal hygiene.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

This is a really interesting phenomenon. I feel like someone can be really knowledgeable and an expert in a certain domain but then they get used to people listening to and respecting them and their opinions. Then they start talking authoritively about stuff they really have no idea about expecting it to be the same or something. I don't know, I haven't though this through properly but it seems like there are a few recent examples where that could have happened.

Whoa really? Jfc peterson

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It doesn't sound like this is a guaranteed fact, but could be a rumor. Just for the sake of transparency.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The benzo addiction and russian coma were definitely things that happened. The brain damage is inferred with the whole "He had to re-learn how to walk and button his clothes"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh, yeah... But you have to admit, it kinda explains the behaviour in a concise and plausible fashion though, based on the facts we do know.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you very much for the info! ❤️

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Well, that explains a lot of things.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

wow never heard this story thank you for sharing

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I know it's probably a joke, but fun fact Soviet Union was the first country to ban lobotomy in 1950

Yes. And then he got MKUltra'd by FSB (he became a sleeper agent)

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Take that woke moralists.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

we'll see who cancels who

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You want to change the world? Ok good, is your hair perfect? Well if you can't even manage a few strands of your own hair why should anyone listen to what you have to say about anything?

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Oh look... it's Jordan "please-ignore-all-the-nazis-in-my-fanbase" Peterson.

Obviously, the Russian quack that supposedly broke his brain didn't make a proper job of it.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Jordan "A WHOLE MONTH?" Peterson?

Jordan "What would we do without men" Peterson?

What a little bitch

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I assume the first one is the reference to his absolute bullshit claim that he had a glass of apple juice and then literally did not sleep for a month. And people eat that shit up.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No that was him talking about pride month, exclaiming that a whole month is excessive for such a thing.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I guess he's said a lot of stupid bullshit.

Just when I had forgotten that this dude ever existed...

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's an old reference sir but it checks out.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

But if they're of age, does the Lolbertarian even care?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The only horrors I see here is .webp

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Webp is great. Very space efficient, good quality, supports animation, etc.

Any software that doesn't support it is dumb.

It also makes hosting way easier thanks to the reduced storage, and it loads faster.
