Men of Lemmy, why are you angry?
(lemm.ee)
Are we angry?
I think it was more of a question like "what are you angry about?" Or "what makes you angry?" Rather than "why are you so upset?" But idk I didn't make the posts
ppl just don't get it ig lol
I don't like to analyze myself because I might not like what I see
^ Trump in an interview in 2014
I'm angry we're on a path to re-elect a piece of shit to lead my country, a person who knows he's a piece of shit but actively avoids thinking about it.
Also, I'm a woman. Segregating on gender for no damn reason also makes me angry.
Also, segregating by gender poorly by forcing a binary choice is shitty and exclusionary in this modern world.
You must hate statistics
for no damn reason
Disaggregating data by gender has legit purposes. You do that to the data after the fact though. Setting up one survey for women and one for men pollutes the outcome.
You must suck at statistics. See? I can do it too! People who misuse statistics and data to shit on women also makes me angry.
Yes. At the time I'm commenting, 1 out of 2 questions on the "women's" question is about the gendered nature of the question itself (50%). And 2 out of 11 on the "mens" (18%). The dataset has already been "polluted" as you describe, by the design of the questions.
What if the intention is to gather data on that, though?
I would expect a control then, a group that is asked the question without the gendered piece. But that can't be done here on this Lemmy community now because we've already seen the gendered versions of the question.
Not like Lemmy is the place to do this sort of thing anyway. In addition to very limited population size, expect a higher rate of STEM folks compared to general population, meaning a higher rate of people who have had a 101 class level on statistics or better. Combined with sarcastic internet commenters. It all means unsubtle manipulations like this gendered question are going to fall flat.
Then comments calling out the unnecessary, ham-handed gendering should be expected data points.
You're right.
Because you sent the women away.
I'm not angry. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU IMPLY THAT I'M ANGRY
Because people keep asking stupid questions
To quote yourself, let me start with a question:
Why?
Because my country is directly enabling and, depending on the definition, participating in a genocide and there is no one I can vote for (who would likely win) who will do even the slightest thing to stop it.
Microplastics
Yep
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that's the way it's supposed to be! We know things are bad, worse than bad, they're crazy!!! It's like everything everywhere is going crazy so we don't go out anymore! We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller and all we say is 'please at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything'!
It's terrible feeling helpless
I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!
I'M MAD AS HELL AND IM NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!
I'm not angry.
I'd say I'm more angy than angry
Having lived most of my life as a very angry person, I was able to achieve a point where I could love myself in 2019. This was years of therapy and self-work.
Reasons why I was angry started with a challenging childhood and underdeveloped emotional intelligence. This made anger feel good as a response to lots of things that made me uncomfortable.
I'm mildly annoyed with yesterday-me for leaving so many dishes in the kitchen for me to wash. He knows how I feel about that.
I'm probably going to leave them for tomorrow-me. That guy's a team player.
This is the good stuff!
I'm often frustrated that past-me is so ambitious about the reminders scheduled for present-me. That dude is straight up harassing me.
I hoped I might be eligible for Irish citizenship through my grandfather, and recently found out that I'm not.
My visa runs out soon and I have to return to the imperial core.
I am the exact opposite of most of the people I know and work with so I have to pretend to be someone I'm not in order to have a good conflict free day
Where's the post for the angry nonbinary beans?
You have the best of both worlds, what is there to ever be angry about?
I am not angry.
In general I am content, I have learned to live a lonely life, and while I am dealing with long term, low intencity depression from that, I have found ways to distract myself from thinking about it.
If I do, then I will cry, though I have long since started seeing crying as a strength rather than a weakness. It gets rid of pent up emotional energy and calms you down.
Work
Not angry in general.
If the question is what does enrages me, an answer is probably human stupidity. Or the idea that we have just better than animals. We aren't, we are just like animals, but with the potential to be so much more. Then comes human stupidity... Well.
