- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 8 hours ago:
In Attack on Titan, magic (titan powers) had historically an edge over humanity, but the story is in part about how Humanity’s technology has advanced to almost surpass those magical powers and shift the power balance.
- Comment on Framing Logic - The Insane Influencer Logic That Tricked Million of People 9 hours ago:
Don’t let your guard down. It’s easy to fall into confirmation bias when bs arguments are dissected in front of us, but we’re constantly bombarded with wrong and fake information, often from bad faith actors. It’s even worse when the arguments seem to validate our own preconceptions. Always be critical.

I mean you can do a smoldering sexy look at someone if your eyes face sideways. Makes total sense.

Or goats just find forward facing eyes to be sexier.
- Comment on 2 Years in Dubai | Brutally Honest Review 2 days ago:
The guy sounds like a douche to be honest. So his perspective is likely pretty different than mine. Most of his pros are things I really don’t care about and the cons were like, “yeah, duh?”.

Sorry doctor, I only accept free rage, organic, pfas free blood transfusions.
- Comment on The first ever earthquake fault rupture captured on a security cam in Myanmar 1 week ago:
I wonder how this actually works. Because technically property lines shifted too. And in many places, official property lines are still demarked with some sort of marker on the ground, not by GPS.

And very soft and squishy ones at that…

Why the down votes? I mean, it’s not a great video, but not terrible either.

There are 8 billion people. I’m not unique and that’s fine.

I’m a hard core vegan. I’ve been banned because I’m apparently a “carnist troll”. In their defense, they unbanned me after I appealed.

Well keep getting dumber until only the elites can afford education.
- Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve personally never been banned on reddit, but been banned 2 or 3 times on Lemmy for being too argumentative.
- Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview? 3 weeks ago:
That’s very important context for this question
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 3 weeks ago:
Languages don’t have to do it. Languages are organic and evolve constantly. A language is not a set of rules, it’s what people speak. The books just try to formalize it. But each language has limited set of sounds, so older names of places often used only those sounds because people literally couldn’t pronounce other sounds. Or when the name is something totally different, it’s usually very old names for things, ans they often get changed! (recent examples are Turkiye and Kiwiv). You also can’t force people to use certain words, it either comes naturally or falls out of use.

They care more about toilet design than literal toilet architects. It’s almost funny.

If you hate yourself and your mental health, do peruse the comment section of this article. It’s really good for losing faith in humanity.

Well that’s a risky gamble…

Depends on the job tbh. I couldn’t care less about a software developer with face tattoos even if I think less of their life choices.
- Comment on For all you inked people 5 weeks ago:
Make up not being permanent is a big reason why it’s perfectly OK to use it even if you look like a clown. I’m a dude and occasionally use make up at certain parties.
You seem to agree with me that face tattoos are a terrible idea, but you empathise with their idiot younger selves. I get it, and probably IRL I would not be so merciless. But I prefer that my kids know that face tattoos are a terrible idea even if some people will show them some sympathy.
- Comment on For all you inked people 5 weeks ago:
OK, fine. I will take face tattoos on a case by case basis but they’re walking on thin ice.
- Comment on For all you inked people 5 weeks ago:
I’m general I agree, but I draw the line at face tattoos. If you have face tattoos I assume you are dumb as sticks.
