  Colonialism has done really bad things in the African and Middle Eastern continent. When they withdrew they irresponsibly drew the borders and now civil wars happen all the fucking time

  Not just the US. Cambridge Analytica is trying to manipulate our politics through scummy means such as misinformation. And our country is being fucked by the effects of Climate Change while western countries are celebrating because “it’s more sunny and warm now! :D”.

  Also you’re too focused on trying to defend yourself from any potential accusation? What about that point someone made that in some points of history, regions of relatively high cultural development change over time?

  I mean, not many people would call Eastern Asians “white people”

  I’ll call it that way.

  Barrier of Bureaucracy

  There was that whole controversy about the Wish trailers because of Youtube compression…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Intelligence doesn’t trend to an objective “perfection of the brain”. Someone with 190+ IQ can still believe in false conspiracy theories due to the nature of the human brain. So someone with a high IQ would easily solve a problem and deduce patterns, but will still fall to human cognitive biases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel superior⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t logged in on Reddit for a while. It feels good not to doomscroll for hours a day. Lemmy is less addicting and less time-wasting and actually has valuable comments whereas Reddit’s comment section is mostly pure garbage that I feel compelled to upvote (probably my compulsive tendencies though). But I still use Reddit to search up stuff, however on Old Reddit I think they added a feature where they put recommended posts IN THE COMMENT SECTION and you have to scroll for a while to access the other comments. Idk if that’s new or it’s something I just noticed but that’s such an asshole design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are slavery reparations fair?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, they deliberately made it so that the populations of African countries can easily be enslaved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy shit? Do you have a source for that because damn. It’s something I would expect though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to influence your dreams the next night?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s so sweet!
