Iirc hes not really a chud, but he doubled down on a stupid “but thats what the data says!” argument about men (gay or not) being much more likely to hit on people than women. It’s dumb, it’s a stupid argument from his side, but in the grand scheme of things it could be far worse.

I might’ve missed something though, but thats all i know of

Based malt enjoyer, you should try som nice trappistes too, esp quads!

Sure is, still really fun to say

In swedish we say “jänkare” as a derogatory term, you don’t have anything similar?

Touche!

I’m pretty sure Aleksa has mentioned having a girlfriend numerous times

Based Neil Young enjoyer (don’t think I don’t see that user name)

Swedish is exactly the same for the examples you brought upp, but we share a lot with german so its checks out i guess…

Why are so many comrades NL fans when he’s ostensibly a fairly finance-pilled lib and worst of all

Whoa what aquarium is big enough to house a whale shark?

Wtf nl emotes???

worst take ive seen on this site ill fight you

I couldnt find it referenced as anything but labor day anywhere, but who knows I suppose!

Sweden definitely celebrates it as labor day, lots of marches and stuff

Fwiw I have 0 social media presence. This post is the most I’ve done in forever. I didn’t make this post because dad won’t acknowledge my tiktok dance or whatever, i don’t anything except this and youtube for slop. This is about the more specific phenomena of being very tech savvy and into video games, modern shows, etc. while being entirely divorced from their online context. It’s just interesting (and a bit furstrating sometimes admittedly) to me!

I think you’re just a boomer soul and that’s ok. We’ve all got our vices, i have a few internet funny men that i like watching while eating cereal, sue me I guess. Fwiw i find most mainstream online culture horrible too.

Thing is though, dad do be loving the mainstream treats. He’s just completely divorced from the cultural context they exist in, wrt online. Instead of saying copium he quotes a bigoted skit from the 80s or just takes what he reads at face value and gets really upset about it. If he was just a grillpilled grass toucher i wouldn’t be making this post, you know?

Yeah i think that’s a good way of looking at it

I agree, if that only were the case with my dad. Instead he religiously reads online newspapers and frequents weird “family” forums where he says he’s “just trolling a bit” but in reality gets super upset about “the feminists” or whatever and brings it up when we’re having a coffee not having seen each other in weeks

Sorry friend i really don’t think you do unless you’re on some serious doses of “I can fix him”

Thank you for the long comment! I really like point 2, that sounds about right to me. I am quite tech savvy myself, but most of my peers really aren’t.

About memes, you’re correct in that they came along while my parents were busy having a baby, but to put it plainly, my dad is way more into social media than i am. I am a bit of an exception in that i have 0 social media presence and only scroll youtube and hexbear, but still. I suppose what I’m trying to say is that it’s not like my dad is just not interested in internet culture. It’s more that he sort of thinks he is, and to some extent prides himself on being “aware” and gets really upset if I try to tell him that his entire understanding just doesn’t really line up with reality.
