I'm sure some of them are idiots. I'm also sure there are some people who needed a car to work, catalytic converter went out and they needed to find the cheapest possible way to pass emissions and keep getting to work.

I know that because I'm about to drop a thousand or 2 on my catalytic converter, which I'll have to install myself to save money, to pass emissions. Luckily, I can budget well and every car repair known to man is on YouTube

I am just someone on the Internet, same as you. My expertise can be whatever I tell you, and is as important as whatever you want to claim as you expertise. Which is to say, it's not important at all. I could be lying and so could you. Doesn't mean we cant discuss things

But I'm pretty sure written language is a huge milestone in cultural development that most professionals would agree with. It is a huge advancement in almost all areas of civilization like the medicinal, cultural and technological fields. Hell, it literally changed our brains.

So the question is more, do you believe humanity was actually better before we made that giant leap? Because creating a written language fits perfectly into the definition of development.

My guess is that it'd be an extremely rare case that a culture was "better" before it came up with a written language. They just didn't have to capability of destruction that 8 billion people to.

I have lived in multiple places considered the south.

I grew up in the north and half my town would have said the same thing about where we were. It's just vague generalizations directing hatred toward the South.

It's just a silly divisive post, but I'm really curious what he expected to learn in Sex Ed that he learned from porn...

Idk, this feels like a post that's goal is to cause division

Just guessing, but that shouldn't be surprising. I'd imagine the most opinionated people are the ones who took offense to Reddits changes and bailed out for those reasons. And now those opinionated people saturate the comments.

Not every case of course. Like RIF died for me, and I just decided I wasn't really enjoying Reddit and should try somewhere else. That's probably a decent chunk of people here as well. I feel like those have a higher probability of just reading and not commenting though

Damn, I reran it just to see... didn't age as well as I thought it would. I didn't like it at first, loved it after I heard Bodak Yellow for the thousandth time and that style started to grow on me, and now it's just not living up to that time I liked it I guess.

but a few months after this shit released, it was fantastic. She must have been hyped when those videos of mfers in subway stations getting buck to her music started showing up on the internet.

I'm just reading this and am a bit confused. The dude might be racist or whatever... idk, but wouldn't a culture that never developed written language be fairly considered "underdeveloped" in modern times?

Just a weird thread that turned to name calling super fast, and I'm not sure where that concept is wrong. Unless you believe humanity would be better developed if it devolved backwards to a point that written language didn't exist?

While moderation is the key to everything, and I wouldn't be surprised if cutting out red.meat is a lot healthier for the consumer

Feels like you just randomly made something up here by comparing some random outlier stories you've heard.

Besides Kendrick(who feels like a weird anomaly to me, but maybe I'm wrong), who's the biggest artist you can think of that doesn't have a "hate movement"?

Like I swear once an artist gets the A-list, some automated system of hate bots gets deployed or some shit, and people get convinced to join in

This article is on Eurogamer.net and CD Projekt Red is Polish. I imagine that's why they pointed out "the country" being out of place
