You've just eliminated roughly 100% of the human population from the possibility of being your friend. Of course you're lonely.
@TheZeldaZone Which is exactly why the biggest loser billionaires the world has ever seen are now feverishly pursuing AI. They've burned all their human companionship bridges.

The only people are happy in this situation are the assholes who are making money off of all them. And those people have a twisted version of "happy".

@TheZeldaZone @waitworry in the past the male loneliness epidemic was driven by (some) men's closest female person they could talk to being their mother, and then replacing that person with their wives but no other emotional outlet, especially if their wife leaves or passes away
now they're being told their moms and potential girlfriends all suck too, so they have nobody

@zompus @TheZeldaZone "But that would tottaly be gay! (tm)"
(I swear, I've heard that stupid argument thrown at me)
@dryak @zompus @TheZeldaZone I've seen the idea that eating (a woman's) pussy (as a man) is gay, there's no hope for straight men
like that's one of the most heterosexual activities that exists -

@TheZeldaZone
I met some of these guys in the wild almost 20 years ago - this stuff isn't new, just more mainstream. Lonely boys and men, especially young ones get sucked in & believe it - it's sad. They're just looking for community and people with similar struggles. Often they have experienced a lot of social rejection as kids.I think before this crap was on the internet socially awkward people of all persuasions found each other through nerd interests but now they shut themselves away.

Boom, needs a crossstitch version.
And a version in DEATH METAL fonts, and a cartoon for 12 year olds.
This is eloquence and a catch, an obvious fact hidden from.l our eyes by bombast and bullshit. Bombast and bullshit from billionaires couping the world.
The cartoon for twelve year olds is rhe most important. You may be able to innoculate an entire generation.

@Jorsh Oh yeah, I think I could be rich if I had no morals. People are WAY more willing to flock to the worst possible human beings than I imagined, and it's genuinely profitable. Bizarre.
We're the Ferengi after all.

@TheZeldaZone but like, couldn't the causal arrow just as easily go the other way? there is a market for these podcasts because there is a loneliness epidemic?
-
@TheZeldaZone these podcasts are the result, not the source of the loneliness.
@RyszardD Ehhh, I doubt most guys like Tate are genuine fallout they're doing it for a bit like Cadence Owens. I'm sure there are real ones too, but the ones I always see in the news seem to be older conservative guys doing a bit. Andrew Tate is 39.

@dryak @zompus @TheZeldaZone Hold on, someone said that doing stuff with women was gay? They have desperately misunderstood what sexuality is. They probably think it's fishing or football or shooting things with guns you carry around in a rack in your truck.
@StarkRG @dryak @zompus @TheZeldaZone worse, they think that if you’re doing anything with women that isn’t on a trajectory to try to get in their pants, you’re gay
And society is wrong for telling them they’re fucking weird for this

As far as I can fathom, it's a social media myth. Any differences between genders are slight either way, or non-existent as far as I've seen. The biggest differences seem to be between age groups, with older people generally being less lonely.
"About one-in-six Americans (16%) say they feel lonely or isolated from those around them all or most of the time – including roughly equal shares of men and women. About four-in-ten adults (38%) say they sometimes feel lonely, and 47% say they hardly ever or never do.
While experiences with loneliness don’t differ much by gender, they do differ significantly by age.
Adults younger than 50 are much more likely than those ages 50 and older to say they often feel lonely (22% vs. 9%). Across age groups, adults 65 and older are the most likely to say they hardly ever or never feel this way (66%)."
@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @TheZeldaZone
I don’t think loneliness in the US is a social media myth.
Kids and young adults are looking for companionship in AI! for example.
US society is individualistic, tribalistic, and exclusionary, and technology has made it worse.
Kids, for example, learn how to interact with others by playing, but there is much less playing time these days with schedules full of activities.
And the job environment is not better, full of surface interactions only. -

Fuck those assholes,
making money by selling machismo and bigotry to young vulnerable kids. -

@StarkRG @dryak @zompus @TheZeldaZone also I’m going to have to channel my inner bbno$ and insist all straight men try getting fucked at least once and preferably twice, even though they’re going to say “but that’s gay”
They’re missing out. I regretfully didn’t learn this until like a year ago.

@TheZeldaZone The formula that explains all of this is simple. Ads work better on gullible people. One finds gullible people by creating content that normal people reject, but gullible people don't. Serve ads on that content & profit. This toxic masculinity content, that for normal people is easy to see is nonsense, is just one of the many types specifically crafted to appeal to a critical thinking deficient audience that will click ads. This is the mainstream internet now.
That’s how you build a religion, a political party, a fascist movement, an army…

@TheZeldaZone Maybe the number of misogynists, who have typically been friends of other misogynists, is decreasing, and that is causing the loneliness among the traditional male population. Maybe maleness is changing. (Could be good)

@joshbuddy @TheZeldaZone Funny, I've been lonely at points in my life but it's never turned me into a raging loser misogynist.

@TheZeldaZone I don't understand.
what I mean is that lonely men search for solutions to their problems and fall for grifters like Tate. Not the other way around. -

@ShaulaEvans @TheZeldaZone well sure, but being lonely might make your more susceptible for that kind of "programming". cults, as an example, prey on the lonely. the misogyny peeps kind of seem like a cult to me i guess, so that's where i was coming from
