I don't care about amplification. I don't buy that silence wrongthink bs. Something is true or it's not. Use your brain to determine if it is true. I used mine, I don't think it's true. I'm not going to refrain

Is that a question? It's alright for people to like what they like. It's alright for me to point out that they're mentally captured by a propaganda corporation.

They don't share ownership of anything. The owners do whatever they want, then lip service the fandom after the fact, and the fandom takes it because they can't cut loose from their attachment. A die hard fan that won't drop

But they don't stop watching it, their identities are invested in it. There's sunk cost fallacy going on there. They don't want it to suck, they want it to keep getting better. And it doesn't. And they complain. But they

Imagine caring about this at this point. Some corporation dictates to you what lore youre allowed to remember. "Canon." I will never understand fandom. I used to love star trek. I have a good friend whos a hardcore trekky. He woul

Again, I don't agree with it. I replied to this comment already. I'm just clearing up a lie, that this material is sourced from a white supremacist website. It's not. It's sourced from an Indian guy who makes his living

The original source for this article and that article you're referencing is this video https://youtube.com/watch?v=-1Mg4nXJ21Y

I didn't post anything, the video I linked to is in the article in the OP. I'm just clearing up the claim that this is sourced from some white supremacist website. It is not true. I don't claim to agree with anything in the v

While I don't agree with the sentiments expressed here, it's an excerpt from this speech https://youtube.com/watch?v=-1Mg4nXJ21Y and not original to the website that published it.

Actually, the source is this speech https://youtube.com/watch?v=-1Mg4nXJ21Y

by big-green-man 2y ago
There's a link to the speech this excerpt is from. The guy speaking is very clearly Indian. The source of this is not from a white supremacist organization, of course they'd salivate at finding it and publish it but that's no

You just blew my mind. I'm taking a dive on this.

This probably occurred at the behest of the German government. Germany has a real personal drive not to have pro Israel sentiment associated with terrorism and mass murder.

Well, that feeling of wanting to have kids isn't really universal. It's not really primal, like needing to eat or something. The desire for sex pretty much is. Is it evolved? I guess everything is evolved. Some people have the des

I mean, do you feel sad for photographers, painters, digital artists that every stock photo used on every website in the world comes from a stock photo website and wasn't hand made by an artisan? Is it some slight against Duke Ellingto

If you walk into a steakhouse and order the porterhouse and you get taco bell Beefy™ meat, that's one thing. If you pay the restaurant a monthly retainer to feed you steak whenever you feel like wandering in and you get such treatment,

I'm not a Spotify user, but I've got to go against the grain here and say "who cares?" Have you ever bought a CD in the days of CDs because you heard a song or two from the album on the radio and found that only those th

Well, you're not exactly primally driven to reproduce. You're primally driven to engage in some behavior, and experience hedonistic pleasure from it, with the side effect of reproduction. Reproduction is expensive, so evolution cr

What you're describing is polygamy, and I've considered it for myself. It is corrosive if it is adopted as a social institution in a culture, but if a free rider here or there (such as myself) pulls it off, better for them. I have

by big-green-man 2y ago
I think people who like ideas like polyamory have misconstrued notions about what monogamy is, which is a general cultural problem in western societies these days. I don't own my partner and she doesn't own me. I give myself free

I told my son this when he was 3. His mother was livid. I don't see the benefit to lying to children. And these kids were 11, I promise hes not the first person to tell them, at least one classmate has informed them of this.

Do you bring home a salary/are you profitable? If you make just above the IRS reporting threshold you can get a free or almost free plan from the marketplace (deadline is tomorrow), and if you don't make much it can be pretty chea

I've got some ideas: 1) make the "switch" dialog when you open a new tab a button, instead of just one part of it being a button. Same with the undo on closed tab. 2) reloads on open sometimes open closed tabs or pages that w

I think their facetious point was "windows does nothing more for the user than Linux" which I tend to agree with, care to share some examples of what windows does better than Linux besides forcing you to update, forcing you to u

The first 3 points are basically the same point: not all Linux systems use the same desktop software. There's a part about adobe that really belongs in point 5. On the 4th point, everything has a learning curve. When you want to use so

I was really ready to agree with the article as it got started. But it took a turn for the usual. I was hoping it would go into how Americans cheered people like Bonnie and Clyde, how america has always had a soft spot for "justified&q

This is being framed as a bad thing, but it is a good thing. Something going on in the country as the status quo, and someone wants to take it to the supreme court. Without discretion, the court has to take up the case. That means they ha

Yes, that's how it works. Radiation hits a body, it glows at a temperature at which it radiates the same amount of energy hitting it and that's the steady state. This applies to every body in the universe, radiation hitting the ea
