Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

I kinda feel she described herself as an "older woman" just for the rage bait.

You excluded the part where the guy literally said she was to blame for his poverty... Because DEI I guess. Lmfao two very deranged men.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Also funny how he assumes she’s American. Just did some research 🧐 and she’s Australian. In Australia you get into a uni based on grades, not with a dog and pony show like in the US. So DEI doesn’t even apply.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Merit is the worst kind of DEI.

Thanks for pointing this out! The full text is unhinged.

Well the guy lives on Twitter. It's par for the course.

[–] blackris@discuss.tchncs.de 74 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Being on Twitter in 2026 is crazy. Seemingly paying for that shit even more.

Pushing 40 with no kids and couldn't be happier about that.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago (15 children)

I'm 39. Partner is 40. Married over 8 years.

More than once we've had a shit day with weather, or something breaking in the house, or dogs being sick, etc etc... And we'll turn to each other and say "Imagine we also had kids?"

Fuck. All. Of. That.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm single and I am thinking "I can barely clean after and cook for myself. Imagine if I have kids."

Pushing 50 and no kids, no regrets. It randomly came up talking with friends last week and my husband literally barked with laughter "i fuckin' sank that ship 20 years ago looool"

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

And even if you wanted kids, it's fine. Late 30's here, happy I have none right now, and still planning to have some. Postponing dreams until a better place isn't a bad thing at all.

on the one hand, men in glass houses have no business throwing stones

what is on the other hand???

[–] ClipperDefiance@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The link in the description has the full comment. OP said that they cropped the original image to keep it from being super long.

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 49 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (5 children)

I actually thought it was just a rhetorical joke setup. Like, there is no other hand.

But no, he actually blames the woman herself.

On the one hand, men in glass houses have no business throwing stones.

He was wrong for that & should've known better.

On the other, he can't post nudes online as his meal ticket the way you can.

Beauty privilege is as real as financial privilege; partly earned, mostly inherited. As an OF creator, your body is capital.

On top of that, for the past several decades, government rigged hiring & university enrollment in your favor, excluding & impoverishing heterosexual white men in particular.

You are, to some extent, to blame for his poverty, & now you're dunking on a homeless man from a position of historically unprecedented privilege because of a mild barb. You reveal more of your inner ugliness than you likely intend.

Lmao “It’s everyone else’s fault I suck!”

Dudes blaming the patriarchy in the most patriarchal way imaginable.

Wow. But I can almost guarantee he would unironically wax principled about the importance of personal responsibility.

Sense may be common, but self-awareness seems elusive to many.

A homeless man that pays for the blue twitter checkmark, mind you

My car is also a beautiful moving.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

I had a beautiful moving in the bathroom this morning after a few cups of coffee

Bro it’s 2026. Almost every woman with children in my close circle who is of my generation had their first kid in their thirties. Like raising a kid is much easier when you have a stable financial foundation.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 16 points 3 weeks ago

All the ones in my circle who had kids in their 20s are miserable. The rest are childless and much happier (at least given the times we're living in).

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

I have a friend who had his first at 18, I had my first at 36. We honestly cant work out who had/has it easier.

He had to scrimp and stretch every penny he could get his hands on. But he was young, had energy and his parents were young enough to help alot.

I'm financially secure (enough and for now) but I'm always tired as fuck, short on time and the grandparents probably consume as much time as they save.

I always thought "older women" meant mid 40's and up.

Since when was 28 "older women"?

I feel like super old and I'm only in mid-30s

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 68 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

The original post was a tongue in cheek joke by the girl, she does not really think 28 is an older woman.

Can people just not parse jokes or read nuance anymore?

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is the internet.

No matter how many examples you can pull to show us why we should know it's a joke/satire, there are 10,000 examples of someone being completely serious.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You know.. I was going to write a joke that 'you can't fool me, you all only exist on my phone.'

Then I thought there probably will be AI-run forums running just for one user, and responding to their posts and comments with positivity and praise to stroke their egos, and I made myself sigh.

And now you have to read my deluded thoughts - which is dragging me back to reality, yep.. this is the internet.

A good number of us on the fediverse are autistic so nuance doesn’t alway get parsed properly.

Yeah, took me awhile to adjust from reddit where the default is sarcasm. You gotta remember where you are, neurodivergency abounds on the Fediverse.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm pretty new here personally and I feel way more comfortable in two weeks than I did in 12 years on Reddit.

He might be homeless, but women are living in his head rent free.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

your body is your capital

same vibe as

work will set you free

if her body is her capital, men sell their body to make money through physical means. if anything, men should be more ashamed that they have more in common with whores than camgirls.

(not that anyone should feel ashamed for how they provide for themselves or their family, but people who throw stones should live in glass houses and all that)
