• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because people receiving the death penalty theoretically did something wrong, and fetuses did not. I’m neither against abortion nor pro death penalty, and I don’t really see a contradiction there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess what this product is without looking up what it is!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use pomade and it surprised me how often its branded like that. I have seen at least three brands that unironically use flaming skeletons. Also I have to say dapper dan is not great (at least the modern kind).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Units of measurement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I don’t know what that is but my educated guess is 3.5

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People warn about culture shock, but nothing prepared ne for this solid toilet paper roll in Vietnam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My public school in Louisiana had very similar toilet paper. I’m not sure if its actually the same, but it certainly looks like it.

  There’s a small town in Missouri I visited named Versailles and its pronounced ver-sails.

  So you do know what I’ve been talking about, you just purposely ignored it because you think its invalid? You could not have possibly done a better job at demonstrating to me that you are arguing in bad faith.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care that you think we should switch to metric, you said that Americans aren’t switching purely because they hate change, and they don’t care about the potential benefits just because they hate change so damn much. This is what I’ve been arguing against. I honestly have no idea how you could have read all of that and come to the conclusion I’m arguing against the metric system. Every word of it is about why Americans don’t think the switch is worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  By continuing to act like this you are preventing any actual conversation from taking place. You might as well just say “you’re wrong, no I will not elaborate”. If you’re not interested in having a conversation then don’t respond, no one is forcing you to do this.

  If you would like to have a less sarcastic and rude discussion, I’ll be here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  American are willing to change things, we just pick what to change, and we aren’t being inconvenienced by this nearly enough to change it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We are used to 2 liter bottles, so we still use them. We run 5ks because its been a standard distance to run for a long time. Other countries also do similar things, old habits die hard.

  We use metric for science and medicine because the benefits of metric are much more pronounced for those use cases.

  Honestly, using both really isnt that hard. Its only really an inconvenience if you aren’t already used to it. We aren’t changing it because we’re getting along just fine the way things are, and there are much bigger problems to be solved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes popcorn⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Put it in the microwave and then take it out when it starts popping slowly. I’ve never met anyone else that does that for microwave popcorn and it works perfectly fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get our healthcare system sucks but it isn’t worse than countless children dying of malaria.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It might belong there depending on what they mean by easy. Its pretty vague

  I’m tired of seeing this every time I open Lemmy so I’m unfortunately gonna block you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets upvotes on reddit⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would avoid dehumanizing the people you disagree with. It prevents any real understanding of the situation beyond “Russians are evil”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon can’t have a factual argument⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That person probably knows nothing about any of those countries

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gives dating advice⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The original post was incorrect but you circled back around to being incorrect in the opposite way. Those two things don’t have a causal relationship.

  As someone that has no nostalgia for the series, I have to agree with them. Halo was mid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Admit, who of you is this?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is highly insulting. The way I check on my muffins has no relation to my distaste for the orange gentlemen.

  You really got him with that one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨400,000 species⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even play the guitar, but if we’re challenging each other to play each other’s instruments, then so be it. Come back to me when you can play with this guy’s tone quality and phrasing. You’ll notice its a little harder than it looks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨400,000 species⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know whatever musicians were playing that faster track put countless hours into learning to play their style, but so does every other professional musician. That to me sounds like complete garbage, just as I’m sure slower lyrical music sounds like garbage to you.

  Different kinds of musicians spend their time improving different aspects of their playing. Some of it you will appreciate, and some you won’t. You don’t have to be an elitist about it and pretend your favorite genre is the only one that requires any skill to perform well. Most people simply don’t care how fast you can play those technical passages that are so distorted they sound like white noise to the average person. They would rather perfect their tone and style.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨400,000 species⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say they they are still culturally significant. Just not quite to the extent they once were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨400,000 species⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say one is necessarily working harder than the other. They’re just doing different things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but what is it trying to say? Is it just saying democracy is good because other people want to be a part of it? Why is it even comparing communism and democracy? Why is it using such a terrible example for communism? Why does it think that this observation is useful for making any kind of point even if it were accurate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is this even supposed to mean
