One of the most detrimental things to a productive society is when people think their actions don't make a difference

Kind of the opposite, it can be depressing recognising the lack of shits given.

Tesla is the most popular car purchase in Norway for eample and is extrmely popular here in Australia. People still use Reddit, X, iMessage, Facebook erc etc. My neighbour uses Stralink when we have a local 400/80 service available. 90% literally don't give a shit.

US man issues challenge to disprove his claim of having world’s smallest penis to raise micropenis awareness

Reply in thread

I read a blog post years ago by a trans dude about how seeing how little the winner of a smallest penis contest gave a shit helped him not give a shit about his own dick situation.

I'm convinced body dysmorphia is linked to a lack of some public nudity at beaches etc where you can see fat, short, flabby etc all on display and realize you're kinda normal, our only interaction with nudity is the body types seen in porn.

“This is what I voted for?”: Trump supporter loses farm and income to tariffs, only to be mocked online

The backlash prompted a second video from the man, in which he dropped several F-bombs while criticizing the apparent heartlessness of those celebrating his hardship..

They voted GOP to hurt others, then get upset they were caught in the cross fire and when looking for empathy are shunned

There a word for that /s

These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

  1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

  2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

  3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

  4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

  5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
