From what I know about male boomers and their political views of women the more i feel the 60s were less free love and more uncomfortable kinda rape-y encounters

    as someone who lives in the UK, seeing Andrew Tate’s influence on kids is really depressing. those kids are gonna grow up as assholes not knowing any better

      Yeah… but I think the question is: if Andrew Tate didn’t exist, how many of those assholes would be balanced well adjusted men. Not many.

        You don’t think role models affect how kids develop?

          Of course they do, but my point is, how many kids with parents who are good role models are attracted to Tate?

      When I was younger, I looked up to a guy who was a piece of shit like Andrew Tate. I started acting like him and treating people poorly. I lost good friends and relationships. I realized that I was losing them because I was being a piece of shit. So I stopped.

      I guess my point is, even if someone is a piece of shit after looking up to Andrew Tate, they’re not hopeless.

      PS: that guy ended up getting a girl pregnant accidentally. No idea where he is now, but I hope he’s not being a piece of shit to his kid.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
