- Comment on Fact Check: **TRUE** 2 days ago:
To contribute my own corpse to the hill, the section of the rule specifically discussing bestiality existed long before the current administration. Their updating of the rules to be less absolute probably should have dropped the explicit callout entirely (because uh… guys, how often does that come up that it needs to be specified??) but it’s important context that this rule change wasn’t done in a vacuum, it was a pretty wide reduction in automatic disqualifications.
It really does seem like this is just a flashy but bullshit distraction from all the other, much more heinous shit that’s going on.

No, it’s not true. You wouldn’t ever use magnesium for that anyways, you’d use an actual demolition charge if you were dumb enough to rig every tall building with explosives. But no, nobody is that dumb - the kernel of truth at the heart of that one is that some large buildings have demolition plans drawn up when they’re constructed (important note: the WTC didn’t have that, it’s both very rare to do and a much more modern practice than the WTC buildings), which are just a reference for if/when the building is demo’d in the future. They’re not rigged to blow, though. Hell, aside from all the obvious reasons you wouldn’t do that, chemically most explosives would become uselessly unpredictable after being strapped onto a building for that long. Just an absurd idea.

Nope! And gay pornography is very different from gay adult services.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It’s porn though, and in porn there’s essentially no market for male content. It would for sure be nice, but even on deeply egalitarian leftist-heavy Lemmy, posting male content on c/gonewild will get you downvoted for your time.

You don’t understand, all that suffering and all those dead babies are part of His plaaaaaaan. How can you even have morals without believing in god, please excuse the piles of dead babies.

Unfortunately while there are many alternative approaches of equal or greater value than the Shanghai rankings, citation analysis really isn’t a great alternative. It’s one of the most criticized methodologies for some very good reasons and, while Leiden does better than most at controlling for things like citation mills, their methodology has some real flaws (their criteria for designating “core journals,” for example). This is one of the most interesting topics in meta-academics right now, and as can be shown in this somewhat infamous paper from fudan university the reason is that impact is a great deal more complicated than any simple metric can represent.

Dude, don’t you realize you have no chance with this argument? Mechoman is the chair of the Nebraska Board of Tourism! He’s the genius mind behind those award-winning slogans we all remember, like “Nebraska: We’re relevant, damnit!” and “Nebraska: Don’t scratch it, that will just make it worse!”.
Seriously though, if you wanna get stuck in with them I can really recommend it - poking holes in their arguments is like bubble wrap for the rhetorical soul - but I just wanted to chine in and mention that you’ve brought some truly excellent points, and to make sure nobody’s taking this goober too seriously.
There’s a lot of stuff that either sucks or is downright horrible in the world right now, honestly even more than there was last month, and some people really just aren’t worth considering.
Anyways, you seem cool. I hope your day/night/timezone is going and continues to go well for you. Peace.
- Comment on Spiderman Arrested In Ukraine 3 weeks ago:
So you have a source for this! We’re all eager to hear about it, please do share it!
- Comment on Spiderman Arrested In Ukraine 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure how that’s it’s relevant here, but neato.
- Comment on Spiderman Arrested In Ukraine 3 weeks ago:
Oh absolutely - I just wanna know what the story was, and we’ve only been given the one detail to work with (and which doesn’t really match details in the image)
- Comment on Spiderman Arrested In Ukraine 3 weeks ago:
I can’t find a source with any more details beyond “this was in Ukraine”, but it looks like it was either posted to initially or originated from /pol/. A little skepticism is therefore probably warranted?

- Comment on America needs a moratorium on AI data centers 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I usually do the same thing - the only users I have outright blocked are reddit repost bots and, apparently, them. Probably just an accident, idk
- Comment on America needs a moratorium on AI data centers 3 weeks ago:
Different but related concept! Moratorium weeks are institutional blocks of time (generally in college and depending on the schedule in highschool) where you’re not allowed to engage with your sport - no coaching, no practice, etc. Generally these are for things like finals/midterms.
- Comment on America needs a moratorium on AI data centers 3 weeks ago:
(Huh, I wonder why I had you blocked? Odd.)
Anyways: my initial point was that it’s a very commonplace term in the US - so much so that it invites an unflattering conclusion about that user for encountering a primary school term so rarely that they’re lead to think it’s uncommon. You’re right though, I was commenting right after waking up and misunderstood grey_matter’s comment as being a comment on me; the “sportsball” thing threw me, I haven’t seen that earnestly used since we purged the Big Bang Theory fans.
- Comment on America needs a moratorium on AI data centers 4 weeks ago:
I don’t quite see how, but thats fine I suppose.
- Comment on America needs a moratorium on AI data centers 4 weeks ago:
(While I get what you’re going for, I think it might possibly be not all that flattering to consider this an uncommon word…)
- Comment on It's about logic and not "feelings" 4 weeks ago:
… You know there are places other than the US, right? It seems like a really unhealthy mindset to assume everything you can’t personally relate to must therefore automatically be about America.

I came upon a silly scene,
As they opined 'bout blue, “The lemming’s comment rhymes!”, I screamed
An experience quite new! - Comment on It's about logic and not "feelings" 4 weeks ago:
I can only answer for myself, but in that case then we’re going to figure something out. It would be a shitty situation, but not one that can’t be overcome.
- Comment on It's about logic and not "feelings" 4 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t the answer be “for what?” I’ll help a friend out with medical payments or car stuff if they can’t commute no problem - if they’re needed asking me for cash for something dumb, I probably aren’t friends with them in the first place.

How shallow would our appreciation of beauty be, if we lived in a world without suffering?
- Comment on How can MicroSD cards store so much data? 4 weeks ago:
They were once as grains of sand on a beach, now their very being courses with images of art, hums with the captured essence of music, blends stories, romance, pain, memories (and, wow, so much furry porn. Jeeze.) They’re given life and purpose, a life millions of years long finally able to burn with the essence of uncountable people - and you think that’s cursed?
