- Comment on Is America going to have a population problem like other countries are have nowadays? 7 hours ago:
Trump’s anti-immigration push isn’t going to help things, but the USA has an oddly high fertility ratio given its wealth. It will be a problem, but not as bad as other countries.
- Comment on Will the next president of America have to do a world wide apology tour for this administration? Kind of like celebs do when they get their ass in a sling. 18 hours ago:
I don’t think it will work. Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for not being W Bush and then the USA elected Trump twice.
- Comment on What do you think of the posting of easily searched questions here? 1 day ago:
They’re posting them in a defined location called “No Stupid Questions”. I’d rather they get posted here then other locations.
- Comment on What year did white people start twerking in earnest? 2 days ago:
Yeah, it does. It isn’t a perfect descriptor and it varies over time. However, if you are taking about a group self identifying as an ethnicity that other groups could recognize, you could probably get a timeframe of a dance that they started to do within a few years. You’re obviously not going to get an exact date and time, but you can get an approximate idea in years as to when a dance when from not being done to being done.
- Comment on What year did white people start twerking in earnest? 2 days ago:
I’m talking about a self descriptor, not a genetic test. If a group of people self identified as “White”, what group would I expect to see.
- Comment on What year did white people start twerking in earnest? 2 days ago:
White people
- Comment on What year did white people start twerking in earnest? 2 days ago:
Forgive my American centrism, but what other culture would use the term “white” when discussing a group in relation to Black and Afro-Carribean cultural elements?
- Comment on What year did white people start twerking in earnest? 2 days ago:
I’ve seen somewhat similar responses to questions I’ve asked, so you aren’t alone. That said, your question is well within what this place is about. Also, this is Lemmy; downvotes really don’t matter as much as Reddit.
- Comment on What year did white people start twerking in earnest? 2 days ago:
Likely mid 2000’s at the earliest. Southern rap was really the first popular genre to put the dance in music videos, which is where white people would have learned it.
- Comment on What year did white people start twerking in earnest? 2 days ago:
Yeah, but it is an appropriate question as white people didn’t really twerk until the name was created.
- Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have? 2 days ago:
There was a meme online of “drunk or a toddler”, which is a decent explanation of being drunk. You are still yourself, but your id is far more in control than typical. For some people who self medicate with alcohol (bad idea), they’ll likely describe their drunk selves as a more open and honest version of themselves; in the wine, truth.
- Comment on If the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas was made today in these times would it be too meta on the current society? Or would it be seen as trying to push an agenda? 3 days ago:
He isn’t intentionally portrayed as heroic in the movie, but a lot of MAGA adjacent people have come to see him as heroic.

The problem with Daenerys is that her turn wasn’t well written, so it didn’t feel earned.
- Comment on If the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas was made today in these times would it be too meta on the current society? Or would it be seen as trying to push an agenda? 3 days ago:
So MAGA?
- Comment on If the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas was made today in these times would it be too meta on the current society? Or would it be seen as trying to push an agenda? 3 days ago:
It would be really hard to make the movie today without making the main character MAGA and making the frustration of the main character far more of a farce than it was in the original movie.
Once you make the character MAGA, you’re going to be seen as pushing an agenda no matter what you do.
- Comment on Is anyone else apprehensive to down voting even if you're being down voted? 4 days ago:
Here, it is usually because I didn’t say things in the right way some leftists want.
- Comment on I got my day all planned out! 5 days ago:
Can’t be drunk all day if you don’t start in the morning.
Hope you wake up with all your fingers.
- Comment on Why Does Everyone Seem Ahead of Me? ??? 6 days ago:
Very few people post depressing stuff on Instagram.
- Comment on If it were suddenly revealed that a significant number of questions posted in this comm were ai bots would that bother you? 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t be too surprised for some of the instances.
- Comment on Why Aren't there More Fem-Focused Werewolf Stories? 1 week ago:
But dub con hetero and original mpreg Omegaverse fiction kind of answers some of the underlying questions that OP is asking.
The sexy werewolf in these stories exhibit certain traits which align with the male gender over the female gender. Outside of furry fiction, I don’t know what a woman werewolf taps into.
In contrast, vampires seem to be more gender balanced. There are a lot of stories out there of a woman vampire seducing an acolyte and her being a woman can be part of the story and not distract from the allure.
- Comment on Are we SURE Reagan didn't cheat in the elections??? 1 week ago:
There was a major collapse of the Democratic Party in 1968 which never really recovered until Obama: Carter got elected because of Watergate, Bill Clinton got elected because of Perot.
And bad as it looks in retrospect, Nixon and Reagan were very popular presidents at the time.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 1 week ago:
Yeah, but we’re already at a point of subscription multiplayer, significant DLC, and major patching already. There may be a market still for discs, but physical rental is mostly dead.
We’re already at a point where the physical space to sell media in stores has shrunk substantially over the past decade. We just might be at a point where it is small enough to no longer be worth supporting it.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 1 week ago:
I think it will depend on the studio. Not every studio is going to take the Nintendo approach.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 1 week ago:
I understand the argument you’re making. What I’m saying is that those who care about your argument are likely in a tiny minority of current players as most would have already left the market by now due to other actions made by console companies.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 1 week ago:
I can see consumers being a lot more sensitive to prove increases than the removal of discs.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 1 week ago:
I don’t think the sales are going to be that affected. Hell, most of the people complaining probably were never going to buy a new console at all.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to convert latitude and longitude to a point on a jpeg map? 1 week ago:
I’m going to have to look at that, that seems to be the closest to what I’m looking for. Thanks.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to convert latitude and longitude to a point on a jpeg map? 1 week ago:
I need a map for that.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to convert latitude and longitude to a point on a jpeg map? 1 week ago:
I don’t have one yet.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to convert latitude and longitude to a point on a jpeg map? 1 week ago:
I want something more zoomed out and cleaner.
