It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I feel like the obvious point they're missing here is that in a world where men had robot partners so would women?

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That was like the second highest top level comment, and all the evopsych dipshits came out of the woodwork to talk about how "that won't happen because a robot can't pay their bills for them and take care of them."

There's just no treating brainworms like theirs. kind-vladimir-ilyich pikmin-carry-lwojak-nooopikmin-carry-r barbara-pit

In a world where you can have a sentient robot Waifu people will still need to pay bills. And, like, bruh, if your robot waifu isn't taking care of you what is it doing?

Men don’t date women for social status, it’s women who do that.

Given this reply on the OOP, I'd say that not only have they never talked to or seen a woman before, but they're blissfully unaware that's even an option.

I nonjokingly think too many of them get their ideas about dating, and women in general, from fiction, or even "dating sims." pathetic

[–] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's a charitable interpretation. I think most of them get their ideas on those subjects from redpill/manosphere influencers.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Maybe you're right, but do those "influencers" also tell them that feeemales are supposed to have plastic-like skin, cartoon proportions, and "I fight for senpai" levels of unconditional infatuation for any slob that approaches them? kbity-how

It's arguably easier to sexually replace men in a hetero relationship with a machine proxy than it is to replace women, even going into the cleaning/maintenance side of the machinery.

The basic coital motions involved require less effort (and material) for a penetrative object than an object that receives penetration.

Also, compare what needs to be done for sanitation reasons between uses of a dildo/vibrator and that of a fleshlight.

[–] Hewaoijsdb@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Ok yeah that makes sense

[–] crystaline_porpoise@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hey, Reddit. Hows it goin?

In China, South Korea and Japan, women in large numbers are stopping dating men and entering into romantic relationships with AI.

what-the-hell

yea

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

IF THATS TRUE MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MEN :agony-thonk:

Singularity cultists are so annoying

Like yeah totally we can keep doing infinite growth 🙄

But have you considered... asteroid mining? That solves everything. Everything. All problems on Earth vanish. But of course you haven't; you are an illogical feeemale. smuglord

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

illogical feeemale.

True smh trans-sad

berdly-smug Indeed. Stick to your horoscopes and other supersitious nonsense. I, on the other hand, am a mastermind in the making because I consistently get INTJ as my result on MBTI tests. berd-up

These guys won't even buy Apple products and cheer when some nerd hacks John Deere software and yet they want to own a device where voiding the warranty will likely financially break them worse than the divorce.

If people can't biosculpt their bodies to look like literally anything they want and still have to work why are we even having a singularity?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I know we've had plenty of struggle sessions about subjective experience/consciousness/qualia before, and I saw clumsy reddit-logo versions of the same on the linked thread, but I'd like to set those aside this one time and instead heckle the fact that so many of those singularity cultists want to be immortal nanobot swarms or unstoppable war machines or whatever but are utterly terrified of trans people that currently exist. what-the-hell

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Right? How do you even pretend to reconcile that dissonance?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

That's the neat part, they don't. think-mark

It truly is baffling to me just how creatively stagnant the thought leaders are of the so-called "Singularity" ideology. Ever see my-hero 's lazily compiled pictures of cars rolling down the highway, except on Mars?

They want pre-war Fallout political norms and aesthetics for all eternity. no-mouth-must-scream

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

LLMs being used to churn out incel-pandering memes about sexbots making all the FEEEEEEMALES regret their ways because they are left behind during the glorious incel rapture known as the Singularity(tm) sounds so on point that it almost sounds like a fictionalized and slightly exaggerated summary of the shit they usually get up to. yud-rational

I'd love to grant them their wish, give them a robot Waifu, and then watch as they slowly realise that want the thing they actually wanted.
