culture enshittified by screenwriters being unable come up with nonviolent plot conflict or nonviolents way to resolve conflict in nonviolent plots "why does this comedy need to have a drug dealer crime caper in the third act? it was about silly high school misfits/a couple dealing with being middle-aged and bored."

i'd guess it's the cultural normalization of anger more than anything, toxic masculinity poo poo etc. like, people who already bought into that stuff seek out more of it because they're attracted to it. it isn't a "cause" for irl violence tho, it's just people moving towards stuff that reinforces what they've already decided is worth internalizing. just think some people are more susceptible to that kinda influence and carrying out bad poo poo than others

APA Review Confirms Link Between Playing Violent Video Games and Aggression www.apa.org posted:WASHINGTON — Violent video game play is linked to increased aggression in players but insufficient evidence exists about whether the link extends to criminal violence or delinquency, according to a new American Psychological Association task force report.

mawarannahr posted:.95 of psychology is completely made up (increasingly enshittified too); look into the reproducibility crisis, Stanford prison experiment, Kitty Genovese etc. Did you by any chance look into the study in question before writing off the entire field wholesale? Because at a glance it seems to have pretty solid experimental design and construct validity and I have no reason to doubt the findings, which indicate that video games only encourage aggression in subjects with higher degrees of antisocial behavior at baseline, and this doesn't by necessity translate to violent behavior. It's a really cool read, you should check it out when you're done yelling at people to get off your lawn. Modal Auxiliary fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jan 1, 2024 |

AARD VARKMAN posted:stop this now. school violence is way too serious a topic for discussion ITT. Okay. Guitar Center sucks rear end now, they don't even bother to set up most of their guitars. I typically avoid them in favor of my local music store, but GC was the only store in the state that stocked the guitar I wanted to try. I ended up pulling the trigger on it assuming I could fix the action, relief, and intonation myself, but the setup was so much of a nightmare that I ended up taking it back so the tech could fix a bunch of stuff. They charged me full price for the setup despite the fact that I dropped $2k on the guitar. I wish my local music store carried the poo poo I like instead of like 400 equally boring Stratocasters.
