- Comment on Are fossil fuels vegan? 1 day ago:
But what about self farmed eggs?
It’s not uncommon for people in rural areas to have chicken around. Those chicken are taken care of, and roam around big spaces. Those chicken will also lay eggs on their own without any harm done to them. Most harm done is denying fertilization that would be similar to denying of reproduction to pet dogs or cats.
Situations happening in industrial farming are not universal.
- Comment on How to Decide what an Appropriate Medical Response is for Loved Ones 3 days ago:
I don’t know how is your country situation. Over here it is said “don’t go to emergency room unless you have an actual emergency”. Triage will make you wait for longer than an actual doctor appointment in a uncomfortable room full of sick people, not the place you want to be when you have a small disease.
Also emergency room doctors are trained more in stabilizing emergencies. For small diseases you’ll get better diagnosis and treatment in a general doctor.
I would advise in learning what constitutes an emergency or not and act accordingly.

- Comment on Anon is a fact checker 2 weeks ago:
It’s more like:
“All loneliness epidemic” == “All lives matter”.
You don’t like a particular demographic and then you invalidate their particular problems saying that everyone have them.
It’s exactly the same argumentation. We all know that really all lives matter, the same we know that people is more lonely in general. But the same it is a specific problem with US cops killing black people disproportionately compared with white people there is a problem with men being more lonely in relation with women.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think is that much the age (above 18 please) than the knowledge that you are not taking advantage of that person (or knowing that that person is not taking advantage of you though this is harder to notice).
If there’s a huge age gap you will get looks. But the looks of others are not that important as long as you know that what you are doing is right.
Are you taking advantage of the other person because of their age? If yes then don’t do it. If no, please continue.

Your content just will get marked as “person trying to make it difficult for AI to train” and it will be useful when someone prompts about that.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 2 weeks ago:
I remember a quote from a famous porn actor “nacho vidal”.
“I’d rather have my kids playing with “fake plastic penises” around the house rather than playing with fake plastic firearms.”
I’m not comfortable with the idea of kids playing with sexual toys. But it makes me feel something weird that I’m not more weirded out by kids playing to kill with fake guns.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 2 weeks ago:
I’m a very fluid person. So I think I have great inside in the differences between genders and sexualities in loneliness.
A lot of it have to do with “be approached”.
As a girl (pretty girl I may add) presenting person a get approached a lot, a lot of people I don’t know want to talk with me. It’s ridiculously easy to make new acquaintances and friends. Everyone wants to talk and be around you.
As a man presenting gay I also get approached a lot when I’m in “gay spaces”. Again it’s impossible to be alone unless I voluntarily would want to.
Yes, these two have the handicap that a lot of approaches are “sex related” of by people wanting sex. But not all of them, among so much approaches there’s always some that doesn’t just want sex.
Then, as a male presenting person in not gay spaces and even more so in straight spaces. I don’t get approached, never, at all. Zero people talk to me just because they want to be near me. If I want to meet somebody I always have to be the one initiating the approach.
In my experience this is the root of the issue. And the experience that most people complaining about “male loneliness” are talking about.
There are other type of loneliness. As a Queer I’m quite familiar with loneliness related to being different, and people literally hating you for what you are, or not accepting you. But that’s a different thing. The male loneliness is that feeling of having the burden of all your relationships in your shoulders, knowing that if you don’t go after people people won’t ever go after you. And that can be devastating with time. Because your self worth get tanked, specially if you are introvert and have a hard time approaching people.
I suppose it won’t end until it get normalized to approach cis men the same way it’s normalized in the other situations I talked about. The reason of why people don’t approach cis men as easy can be discussed, I get that there’s a fear/danger factor in approaching a cis male, specially after being approached by so many menacing people in your life. But still, I do think the root of the issue is that.
- Comment on project paperclip be like 2 weeks ago:
I do not think german nazis were too motivated against africans, specially african-americans. They were ultra racist against Jewish and Slavic.
The American nazis were the ones obsessed with skin color against black people.
At least that’s the impression I get when reading about those times.

Now I have a doubt. Could you have a stable orbit around the singularity but inside the event horizon?
Maybe you could live a comfy life there.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 3 weeks ago:
Moat of these platforms are not recording things that benefit from horizontal recording.
Take into account that the content on this platforms tend to be personal videos. A person talking, dancing, something like that.
We all have read the copypasta about vertical videos back in 2002 but times have changed.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 3 weeks ago:
There’s no conspiracy here.
It’s far more comfortable to watch vertical videos in a phone instead of having to rotate it constantly for each video.
It’s also more comfortable to record videos vertically using a phone, which makes a direct translation to post a vertical video in a platform that’s phone oriented.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 3 weeks ago:
Most people don’t do that. The format of the videos is going to adjust to its public. Short videos meant for TikTok, stories or shorts, are going to have a vertical format because that’s the way most people will enjoy them.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 3 weeks ago:
Most people watch videos on a phone where the vertical format is more convenient.

If you are happy you are happy.
It would be different to discuss if it would be long term sustainable.
- Comment on Why is blue and pink traditionally associated with men and women? 3 weeks ago:
I read that the paintings “pinkie” and “the blue boy” were famous at the time when mass consumer products started being commercialized, thus the association.
- Comment on How does one join a terror group? Like example ISIS , do people go to a secret website sign up and get provided flags, bomb parts, or whatever? Or is it just a person saying what they did was for ISIS 3 weeks ago:
Most recruiting comes from legal extremist groups with linked ideologies.
Usually terrorists will approach you, more than the other way around. After you’ve been profiled you may invited/coerced to join.
If they want you to make an “action” (they usually not call them terrorists attacks), they will provide you with minimal information, and the supplies will only be provided strictly when needed. Depending on what you are doing it can be hours of weeks before the action. Training will be non-existent. Most terrorist actions do no require training, just a human to do simple actions. If you are in an active warzone it would be different, you’d be trained as militia. But for typical domestic terrorism they won’t really provide training right of the back. If with time you grow into the organization they may train you in shooting if you would be doing actions which require shooting a weapon, or in explosives if you are going to be more involved with that. But terrorist groups tend to rely in recruiting already trained people more than in training them themselves.
As for ideological brainwash, you are expected to have some good degree of radicalization before joining, but a great degree of brainwashing will happen in jail once you are caught. A terror group is another prison gang, and they will try to keep you inside their ideology while in prison so you can continue working inside and, maybe, outside once you are out, probably not with direct actions anymore.
At least that’s my understanding on what happened with ETA and AlQuaeda here in Spain

- Comment on Do gangs that collect protection money actually do any protecting? 4 weeks ago:
In general they are the ones breaking your windows if you don’t pay. Paying for protection is more like paying for them not to fuck you up. If other person does something to you it’s not their problem.
At least that’s how it works here.

- Comment on 'Consumers are not okay with okay': Take-Two boss says BioShock 4 is taking so long because the company's goal is 'to make the best entertainment, not necessarily the most entertainment' 4 weeks ago:
I really disliked bioshock 3. So I have little hope.
The story was over the top but without saying anything interesting or iconic.
Gunplay is a weird mix between call of duty and bioshock and it doesn’t work.
Upgrade system along with only two weapons felt weird. Topics are less useful and less common than in previous games.
“Choices” in story are not choices, completely useless.
Companion AI is bland, they promised a revolution with Elisabeth but it’s just a fly tied on a cord, there’s zero AI in it. It can’t die so there’s nothing to interact. It just moves around you, pretend to seek supplies and to hide from bullets but it’s all fake, it cannot be hurt and she just tosses you supplies on scripted events.
The bird is hyped and have zero impact in the gameplay.
And I could go on…
Bioshock 1 is a thousand times better game in every single aspect.
- Comment on Black Holes 5 weeks ago:
Different things.
The singularity of a black hole is located in space.
The initial singularity of the big bag happened “everywhere” the whole universe was supposed to have infinite density.
The mass of the black hole is finite. It’s very dense but it have a quantifiable amount of mass.
For the big bang the mass was also infinite as far as we know. Everything was singularity, every “energy” in your body was part of that infinitely large singularity.
Beyond that we don’t know much about both, there are barriers which prevent direct observation of both.
The expansion of the universe is a completely different matter, as it’s not only expanding, it’s expanding faster that out gravitational models predict, like the universe is not only “ignoring” black holes, it’s expanding despite all observable matter, and all untraceable matter (dark matter), and it’s expanding faster and faster driven by an unknown phenomenon we call “dark energy” for giving it a name, because we have remotely not idea of what’s going on.
- Comment on Black Holes 5 weeks ago:
The original comment were referring to the ring singularity which is different from the accretion disk.
The singularity is unseen, we suppose it’s a ring in rotating back holes, but we have no idea. As anything inside the event horizon, we cannot see what’s going on in there.
The accretion disk is the disk of matter falling into the black hole, it’s outside the event horizon and can be observed.
