On one hand I understand showing empathy and highlighting that people might be going through mental issues, abuse. However laziness and lack personal responsibility should always be considered as possible factors as well.

I just wanted to highlight the personal responsibility part. Otherwise I agree completely.

Each person is the result of their genetics, upbringing, friend circle, life experiences etc. Having the best parents doesn't guarantee you turning out well.

Also nothing personal but using big words like this when you can express it much simpler, comes off very pretentious.

Honestly your take feels wild to me as well. Sure you should teach your kids how to take care themselves, but at some point they are an adult and have to take the responsibility for their own lives.

If people don't have to take personal responsibility what stops them from taking advantage of it? Like you could have the best parents, but claim they messed you up, so refuse to work and leech of them for the rest of your life.

I don't get why it is parents responsibility if they are 24 and dont have any disabilities. Isn't it only parents jobs to take care of you till you are 18.

They are in checked out section

In Good Will Hunting, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon allegedly inserted a gay sex scene into the script to test whether the producers were actually reading it. Uh… sure, buddy. THAT’S why. in c/shittymoviedetails@lemmy.world

What I do NOT understand is whenever people resort to propaganda like this, to try sabotage public perception of an (actually evil) person or company. Yes we know Rockstar is a bunch of greedy bastards, but their games are "nothing groundbreaking", really? GTA V and Red Dead are listed as two of the most successful games ever made behind only Minecraft.

This is like when an actor gets involved in some sex scandal and everyone suddenly thinks their work is mediocre. Can we really not separate an evil person or company from their work?

I imagine this would be gender neutral phenomenon. Any person who gets famous, suddenly is able to date up and could therefore be tempted by it.

People saying just build your own steam machine don't get its appeal (programming.dev)
 

Doing it yourself would mean visiting one of those build your own pc forums for help, and I think most people would rather kill themselves.

Have you noticed this phenomena on social media (programming.dev)
 

Every time I search something like “Why is X bad?” on reddit or other forums, the majority of comments is always people arguing the exact opposite. This has been my experience countless times over the years. Recently I started searching the opposite of what I want to know, like “Why is X good?”, and it works flawlessly.
