People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
Hello community, this thread is going in places a community shouldn't go. Remember to hate the argument, not the user. There are also people that said things on the fence that seemed to be making up arguments or trying to start arguments. I temp banned you.
I didn't catch them all, feel free to report if it bugs you. I'll take a look.
I appreciate the work you put into this. Thanks.
This is a great community, so it's easy. You guys usually self-police, and in a funny way. The sculpture guy further down cracked my shit up while softening the conversation.
Insert pokemon catch them all joke here
This thread reminds me of this scene...
Ignore the trolls. Lol.
How dare you compliment your host? What are you a "gracious guest"? How disgusting.
Seriously, what does she think she is accomplishing here besides broadcasting her misandry?
Thanks for helping trump get elected.
I thought "wow, she's worth avoiding".
Then I thought "oh no, people are going to overgeneralise the heck outta both this person and her nasty comments and the comments are gonna be a shitshow of stereotypes and crap gender war shit". I was not even a little bit wrong. There are definitely exceptions, but I think the most noise is being made by that stuff.
3.5 million views? Why? Is this person supposed to be famous or something? And for what an absolute unnecessarly condescending nasty tweet? What am I missing here?!
I'm so used to Lemmy viewcounts that I sometimes forget how big X/Twitter is.
Oh you like waffles? So you hate pancakes and support cakecide?
This is why people just don’t compliment strangers anymore or engage in any sort of polite conversation.
Everyone is looking for irl or online gatcha moments for that sweet hit of online dopamine.
It’s sick.
100% due to chronic internet use. You use that shit too much it warps your perspective
i dont complement strangers bc im too shy and they are strangers
Maybe the dude was just... you know.
Poor.
Came from an environment that was usually a mess, chaotic, disordered, and he was genuienly impressed by how simple things, in order, can give a significant sense of safety and stability.
Maybe he'd never seen that before, maybe he had no model of a tidy and peaceful living space.
The same scenario could happen with anyone, of any sex or gender.
Man, broad societal levels of narcissism are just off the fucking charts these days... its the literal opposite of solidarity, of empathy.
Growing up my house was always trashed. Parents with depression and full time jobs don't leave much time and energy for cleaning up, and there's only so much children without guidance can do.
So once I had my own defined space, it was basically minimalist to expedite cleaning. I didn't start getting more stuff, even clothes, until my partner moved in.
Or maybe he was just being nice? I can't imagine being invited to friend's new house and not giving compliments unless im like worried about them moving into an unsafe situation.
Like yes, i want a mommy to take care of me but that and me appreciating your house is not related 💀
I keep seeing this content that’s “men are so stupid and inferior and awful” and it’s grating on me.
Like, yes, there’s definitely a strong toxic subset of men, but most of use are just… normal?
I’m in my mid 30s, when the women aren’t around we’re mostly talking about kids (those who have them), hockey, finances, house stuff, and weird health issues. Depending on the group, how stupid politics/government shit is lately.
I don’t know. It feels like the toxicity that came for incels is coming at women hard these last few years. Reddit really pushes this stuff lately.

That's because it's troll bait. Just like all generations have a bigger than wanted set of shitty people. I don't feel like I can take this shit down because it's not breaking any rules. You all can help by not falling for the bait though.
Consider that the original tweeter is a shitlord and that their entire anecdote is made up to generate "engagement", and don't worry about it ever again.
A real charmer here lol
Art on the wall? Rugs? I'm from Eastern Europe, best I can do is rugs on the wall
My place looks like a laboratory. I'm still on the original primer on the walls. Blow me.
Thanks! I’ve put a bit of work into the place lately
Pretty difficult to say, I know.
Generally true though. Society robs us of all joy on purpose. Can't have shit as a man, because that looks kind of gay.
I'm getting all the stuff society does not want me to.
What robs us of joy is caring about other people’s expectations for us. We are free when we stop worrying about what people think.
"Yeah I don't get it, I just don't get invited to anything anymore" - this person, on occasion, probably
Had nice paintings on the wall, spotless place, no clutter, clean bed all before I got married. No paintings,dirty (not gross ) tons of clutter w/wife and kids.
