Anyone else notice how everything's becoming so fake?

The whole world gets faker by the day, fellas. The people, the places. Its fake. Everything's about perception now. Manipulating the subject to believe they're experiencing something authentic. Something genuine. When they're not. Its not authentic at all. Its fake. Its all fake. It didn't used to be like this either. And I don't think its supposed to be like this. Pretty soon, nothing will be real. Are you ready for that? The entire human existence will be reduced to a crappy facsimile. And you boys will just be sitting there picking your asses and watching porn. Like always.

Sounds like you're just spending too much time on the internet bro. Srs. It can be a slippery slope and you get sucked into all kinds of chit while posting or scrolling.

I think you should cut down your screen time by at least 75%.

I definitely dont feel like anything is fake. Things feel realer than ever for me.

I spend a lot of time outside, in the gym, growing my business, etc.

Invest your time into self improvement and you will see how real chit is.

Srs OP. Ill pray for you.

No sir. I don't spend an excessive amount of time on the internet. No more than a couple of hours a day. I'll always take your prayers though. Can't ever have enough. I honestly don't know how you can interact with folks on a regular basis and not notice how synthetic they've become. Its definitely changed over the past decade.

The pandemic and lockdowns fukked with people bad. And some people still havent went back to their old selves.

Also the news and media is just more divisive and more of a clown show than ever.

Tensions are high everywhere because people are not at ease. In the last 5 years we saw serious lockdowns, multiple wars, and now a serious recession.

Our lives have not been easy. This makes us all a little harder, colder, and more standoffish. Just look at the people who survived WWII and chit.

My grandmother was kicked out of Germany during WWII and forced to go to Indiana. She survived WWII and Nazi Gernany, and a Great Depression. We are going through our version of that chit right now.

All you can do is focus on yourself and the immediate few people around you that you love.

Improve for yourself and to take care of the people around you. If you just focus on that, things will become real again.

Theres nothing more real than that.

God bless.

The ironic part is that DonVonDuck is A.I.
6'5" 210 lbs, 10.9% body fat

Disagree with me, fine; but before calling me a fraudster click: https://forum.obnoxiousbrutes.com/showthread.php?t=185252663

Bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable unto all things.

It really depends. TV, social media, alternate media sights, and so on have been warping everyone's minds. Thankfully most of my friends and people I know are largely off of all that and aren't addicted to these things, so it's pretty normal irl conversations.

I do see it quite a bit outside of my circle though. Everyone just has conversations about tv shows or movies they watched, politics or the same thing they all saw news-wise that day like taylor swift drama or something. I can typically talk with anyone about most things, but I definitely struggle a lot more nowadays given I don't watch tv or movies, am not on tik tok, don't follow any celebrity gossip or the political drama, etc.

People are on edge a lot more too. So many people cannot handle any stress or anything anymore. The amount of people with anxiety is alarming.

I'd love to hit you with a hot foot, my friend. Set that sucker ablaze and watch you scramble trying to stomp it out. I'd probably ejaculate myself from all the excitement.

I just don't think they'd do too well on the forum these days. I doubt the thread would even go two pages. Things certainly aren't like they used to be around here, 8point.
