    There’s a big difference between unchallenging and childish. Don’t conflate the two.

    Top chef is unchallenging, Sesame Street (R.I.P) is for children. An adult watching Top Chef can turn their brain off and chill, a non-mentally disabled adult watching Sesame Street (for themselves, not with kids) is childish.

      A non-mentally disabled adult spending this much time judging imagined people on Facebook/Reddit/Lemmy for a single activity they do in their spare time is not someone you should take life advice from.

        Lol, says the person who just can’t stop digging and keeps responding.

        Well, I suppose it’s a good thing for you that you seem impervious to growth and admitting you’re wrong. Straw manning, moving the goal posts, and attacking the source is a good start for a tool box of skills used to resist any self reflection, I’m sure you’ve got a lot more in there.

        How much time do you think this takes? What you’re saying isn’t exactly deep and thought provoking. 30 seconds to bang out a response when a little notification interrupts me catching up on the news isn’t much. I couldn’t have spent more than five minutes on this thread altogether, and 90 seconds on you tops.

          Time that would have been better spent watching Sesame Street, you might have learned how to get along with others.

                I don’t think those skills necessarily translate. I wouldn’t expect someone who reads children’s books to understand why.

                  Like I said: judging imaginary people you’ve made up in order to look down on. Never been a fan of Harry Potter myself, but I don’t expect someone lacking in basic social skills to understand why other people would say something.

                    And I wouldn’t expect an emotionally stunted person stuck in high school or earlier to understand why people look down on them. So I guess we both think we understand each other.

                    Cheers!
