- Comment on Trump's eligibility 2 weeks ago:
Because his voters didn’t consider the victims human in the first place.
- Comment on Trump's eligibility 2 weeks ago:
I think Americans need to realise that Trump won by popular vote
That mean that most USians are appalling people.
As a Latin-American suffering for decades the consequences of US foreign policies, I’m not surprised.
- Comment on Do deaf people play media with sound on? 2 months ago:
The proper course of action would be to translate the foreign language and add those subtitles in italics.
- Comment on What does "blackpilled" mean? 2 months ago:
A relationship defined in their own learned psychopathic terms.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I don’t care anymore. I just use a few smile emoji, and the facepalm one, because I never found a satisfactory emoticon for it.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 2 months ago:
Same as emoticons did, now with Unicode Consortium approval! 😁
- Comment on The justices of the supreme court ruled that Trump was immune and effectively above the law while being president. What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate? 4 months ago:
I always think these movies end being used as instruction manuals.

Is Threshold worse than Code of Honor?
I’d say it’s worst. Being racist is horrible, but it wasn’t until “Threshold” that ST became actively and willingly stupid.
- Comment on Star Trek Is Showing More Love To Scott Bakula’s Enterprise 5 months ago:
If not the most imaginative, certainly the most inspiring, and it evokes a strong insertion in our reality.

I think obvious that she would have sided with Maddox and disagreed with the ruling. I don’t think her capable of overcoming her prejudices against artificial life forms.

This in particular is from Jack Chick, who also belonged to a group convinced that the KJV is the result of a new revelation.
- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 6 months ago:
Alls I can say is you’re listening to the wrong kind of music is you think all current music is vapid.
And all I can say is that your reading comprehension is lacking if you attribute me saying that all music is valid. I said “mostly”.
It’s honestly quite arrogant to think great artists stopped at our generation my guy.
And I had said so, I would agree. I, however, didn’t.
In any case, if music is your main focus, you could have used more prominence in the question, because your formulation seemed to indicate that there were other things you wanted to “keep up with” too. If I had understood that music was your primary focus, I would have abstained from participating. Which I will start doing right now.
- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 6 months ago:
Do you not believe that music, particularly the lyrics, is a snapshot in time of what the artists ideas and beliefs are?
It once was. Now music is mostly the result of an industry churning sellable platitudes and blandness.
As I believe music is the most emotive form of expression.
When you have sensible artists who talk about things beyond their own petty and minimal experience, perhaps. This is less and less frequent.
In any case, for me music is a very personal pleasure, I don’t compare notes frequently regarding what one “needs to like to be up to date”. I like what I like, and it’s not very transferrable. I rejoice when I find matches, but I don’t want to “learn what I must like” to be “modern” because that “gives me the pulse of the zeitgeist”.
- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 6 months ago:
Because they want to keep in touch with and still feel like a part of their community?
By keeping up with music? Come on!
- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 6 months ago:
There is huge divide between generations from the elders and it’s usually due to ignorance or superiority and it achieves nothing.
Preferred music doesn’t do much about it. Your focus in it was the main thing that confused me.
If you had mentioned having discussions about ideas I would understood better.
I honestly think your view is weird. Why wouldn’t you want to understand your fellow humans more.
Again, you mentioned music, which for “understanding my fellow humans” is fundamentally irrelevant to me. Discussions about philosophy, ethics, or politics are much more relevant.
Or maybe you just want to understand why they like the music they like and nothing beyond that, which is valid, but painting it as “understanding fellow humans” is a little too grandiose.
- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 6 months ago:
So I’m wondering what I can do to keep in the loop with my younger brothers and sisters?
The question is completely weird to me. Why do you care? Why do you think that is important?
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 6 months ago:
I’m childfree and think that too many idiots procreate.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 6 months ago:
to promote stability and perpetuate humanity
🤮
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 6 months ago:
I understand in theory the benefits. But I practice for me It would be a nightmare. Being unable to get away from toxic family members would be horrible. And being the outsider… I’m dating you, not your family. I find the idea of “entering a new family” worrisome and distasteful.
- Comment on Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life? 8 months ago:
If said doctors participate in something that is oriented to appease the public of bullies, I don’t care about their good intentions – they’re accomplices.
The producers don’t care about reducing the health crisis in the US. They care about viewers and the money they bring.
- Comment on Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life? 8 months ago:
Yeah, in Bullyland that’s not gonna be a popular attitude.
- Comment on Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life? 8 months ago:
It makes public spectacle of acceptable targets of bullying. People laugh at them safely at home without facing consequences.
- Comment on Are the languages that can be fluently spoken only if you are descendent of a particular community/country ? 8 months ago:
If you don’t do your homework and you ask in bad faith, you don’t deserve explanations.

I’m picturing Baby Herman now.

Hope you can look at the world more positively and leave the rest of us alone.
Hope one day you wake up, get out of your fantasy world and join us in the real one. Making it better requires looking clearly at reality, not wearing pink colored glasses.
Less dreaming, less prayer, and more reality.
- Comment on Are the languages that can be fluently spoken only if you are descendent of a particular community/country ? 8 months ago:
But please stop this trend of putting words into people’s mouths and negativistic spin on things.
No.
Google “sealioning” and “JAQing off” to understand why not.

Try to find the segment John Oliver did about it. Is hilarious.
- Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you? 8 months ago:
Your comment is too broad. I’m tightening my position back.
- Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you? 8 months ago:
But not the only ones. There are almost infinite ethical considerations beyond being self-serving or nefarious.
- Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you? 8 months ago:
Me. If I found out that you’re being nice but dishonest, I’ll cut my interactions with you almost immediately, and the ones I’m forced to have will be minimal and devoid of any personal information, as you have proven not to be trusthworthy.
