- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 2 days ago:
As. Mexican, I agree with you. The conquistadores weren’t people of the highest caliber, and while the catholic monks were better, their mission was evangelizing at any cost, even if it meant killing people who didn’t want to. Even prehispanic people could be brutal.
The main difference between colonial Mexico and USA was that slavery wasn’t a thing here, because the evangelized became full-fledged catholics, having a would and all. Something unthinkable for the slavers, who justified their acts because blacks “didn’t have souls”.
Mexican creoles, the hacendados, found a loophole: Catholics could still be exploited by crushing, multigenerational debt. That’s why we had a century of turmoil after the revolution(s), right after the century of turmoil after our independence from Spain.
Guess my point is: by the time USA invaded and forcefully took half our country, we didn’t have slavers (the hacendado’s loophole was gone), and definitely didn’t trade humans as things.

What if this is karma for invading and taking half of Mexico? There weren’t slavers or shittier-that-usual people in the region before that.
- Comment on Am I a bad friend/rude for not engaging with my friends and giving one-word responses? 4 days ago:
Of course not, if I was chatting with you I’d feel like I was bothering you.
“How are you?”
“Listening to music”
“What band?”
“It’s on shuffle, I think it’s Metallica”
“What song from them? I live Metallica”
“IDK, let me check. It’s ‘Sad But True’. I think it’s actually good”.
—-
“What are you up to today?”
“Watching TV”
“What show?”
“It’s Rick and Morty, but don’t tell anyone”
“Why?”
“I’m don’t want others to think I’m an incel or something”
My mom and mother-in-law are in their 80s, and they’re not great texters but you can tell they’re making an effort, and that counts a lot. It’s not about caring how well you text, but how a series of dry answers might make your friends feel like a nuisance.
You need to “groom” others to care about you so they tolerate antisocial behaviors, but not all people can be groomed this way.
- Comment on Where did Captain Planet go when he flew away? 4 days ago:
I hate to ask this from such a dangerous mind, but… but, does Captain Planet have private parts? Front and back?
If he doesn’t reproduce, he doesn’t need genitals, and he doesn’t need a digestive system if he’s going to dissolve in half an hour.

Socialization is a skill, not a gift. If you want to become strong, you have to work out at the gym, if you want to socialize, you have to interact more with people.
Very few people are bad at socializing, they’re bad at making an effort to socialize, because it’s painful at the beginning, like working out.
May be due to a traumatic experience, a pernicious environment, even plain laziness; but we are not set in stone, can change if we want to, and grown ups enough to live with the consequences if we don’t.

While I think Luigi is more on the right side of history than his victim, if someone is going to claim stealth censorship they better give the steps to replicate that, and plenty of pictures/evidence so it can be verified.
Anonymous (the activists) accounts were prone to this kind of performative denounce, claiming false things instead of straight asking for help or awareness.

The (solar) system leaves them no other way of life! We need to make opportunities for them to orbit a stable planet and become moons.

Why do we need to convince them in the first place? I see them as the equivalent of internet trolls, they know they’re wrong and half the fun is moving the goalposts.

Las Vegas, Nevada (soon to be renamed to “The Alluvial Planes, Snowed” under the new Cheeto renaming frenzy, probably 😉) is a place so littered with luminous signs, sleeping with the curtains open is already asking for trouble. Still, waking up to a giant eye in the distance would be terrifying.

“Can you tell me how other countries have managed affordable healthcare?”
“I’m sorry, as a large language model I don’t have the capability to make healthcare system analysis. Would you like to talk about the beautiful Gulf of Amerika instead?”

This was my impression. What to say may mean just proper etiquette, not lying about going to Aspen. I mean, the asshole wants to invite you to a party, buy you nice new clothes, and tell you how to blend in; it doesn’t sound like much of an asshole phrased that way.

Of course not, silly! It’s about pollution and everything getting cancer.

Knowing the average redditor, they probably had like 6900 posts about Luigi (or every of those banned words) every hour for weeks.
I don’t blame the mods for dealing that way with karma-addicted redditards.

… and in other news: Insurance CEOs are some of the best human beings walking on this Earth! Just this morning, one of them gave $50 to a homeless person who lost everything paying a hospital bill. What a golden heart!

Does the dark universe do “enhanced interrogation” too, or the opposite?
