- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 6 days ago:
You are reading waay to much into that title, man. Their claim is it doesn’t make people more misogynistic. There are still tons of reasons to care about how media conducts itself.
Or do you imagine it’s just a neutral thing that the whites-only crowd would make it impossible to be a black actor again?

I skimmed this, but only because my brain is huge and I already know everything you’re saying, and also I’m busy trying to locate a methane leak in my kitchen. Even so, I think you explained this fine. Don’t worry about it. Rest easy and get yourself calm. :)

I sure don’t.
What state is that, anyway? - Comment on Use this science wisely. 2 weeks ago:
First, keep your left foot firmly planted! Cock your right foot up like you’ve seen Michael Jackson do.
Next, spin your left foot around 360 degrees while jiggling your right foot like your heater’s on the fritz!

There’s just no way to exercise your rights without seeming completely insane.
This guy’s silence is not why he seems creepy. It’s his body language, his mannerisms.
JCS has another video about… I forget. They call him an anti-hero a lot. The anti-hero definitely talks too much, but he exercises his right plenty and mostly just seems like a tragic, lovable doofus.

Ha, I had no idea these existed. If anyone would, he seems like the type to, though.

once something erotic has merit beyond the erotic it often loses its porn classification in the public eye.
This definitely poses a problem. Er… depending on what we think a problem is, I guess. But the stuff I’m thinking of, it would be very hard to do this to.

people dismiss it for the sexual focus.
I stand by this: porn is a largely untapped medium for insanely stupid comedy.
I know we’ve all seen lemon stealing whores and whatnot, but like, we could have so much more than we do.

Dude, you have got to stop taking all these ricochets. Not everything is a point to tally in the war between mars and venus.

The current predatory system will raise the limit on the 40 work week if they’re allowed to. 60. 80. You might not even get a weekend. Unions fought for your weekend.
AI does not fundamentally change this relationship. It is the same predatory system.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 5 weeks ago:
It might. Like, maybe a little?
Oddly, you’re the one kind of lacking nuance here. I’d be willing to oppose the Internet in certain contexts. It certainly feels less and less useful as it’s consumed by AI spam anyway.

What kind of selfish, emotionless psychopath do you have to be to legitimately think that libraries being unused, forgotten, and closed is a good thing?
You ever thought about this: maybe if you visited your library in person more often, you’d actually have more friends.

Fox News is dangerous. It turns your grandpa into a lunatic.
Hm… how do we square that one.

Literacy what? Just let me watch something funny.
This is like the most pro-illiteracy thing I’ve ever read.
Do you feel you’ve become more stupid?
My muscles were weaker until I started training. As it turns out, the modern convenience that allows me to sit around all day doesn’t actually make me stronger by itself.
It is people that are increasing inequality.
Yes, what if the billionaires simply chose not to, hm? Have I ever thought of that? Probably not, I’m very stupid.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 5 weeks ago:
Because when your employer catches on, they’ll bring you back up to 40 anyway.
And probably because those 15 hours now produce shit quality.

For labor people don’t like doing, sure. I can’t imagine replacing a friend of mine with a conversation machine that performs the same or better, though.

just pushes them to double down.
It pushes them out of communities. You’re not really understanding the strategy here. The point is not to make them believe, it is to silence their ideas with a bit of social conformity. This is the same reason you kick nazis out of your bar before they start bringing their friends.
If you make life difficult for people with obscenely bad ideas, you encourage them to either stop or at least be quiet about it. That quiet inhibits spread. It creates new taboos that people are afraid to cross.
Regardless, saying to your loved one "Okay you don’t trust the scientists, but you do trust me, […]
Their loved ones are welcome to do this. They should, actually. I can’t really help them do that, though.

Well, let’s imagine that vaccine antibodies do actually stick around longer for a moment. All right. Who cares?
I could certainly think it was interesting. But concerning? In what way? “Oh no, I accidentally have too much money.” Okay. And?
This is essentially an appeal to nature fallacy. We don’t need to imagine she has a point to make; she’s trying to scare people.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 5 weeks ago:
Yeah.
I think it’s important to give explanations like Mystik’s loudly and often, and maybe a bit quipier if it’s too long, because constant exposure to talk radio and other conservative propaganda is partly why they fell into this trap in the first place.
But if they’re not listening, you just gotta call them stupid weirdos and make them feel uncomfortable in public. Make their friends laugh at them, make it seem like your side is having more fun. The fear of being excluded will eventually pull them over, willingly or not.
Unless it doesn’t. In which case, we’re talking about a breakdown of the social order that is… I don’t even know, man. That might be beyond fixing.
