He forgot about Greenland and moved on to his next anger fixation. He’ll cycle around back eventually.

You’re missing the point I’m making, but at least you feel smart.

The lesson of the Trolley Problem is that you need to start thinking about your options before it gets to that point.

There’s also plenty of spaces on lemmy to discuss US politics. Not every space needs to accept posts like that.

On the surface, Cross Ange is just another fanservice mech anime. The first few episodes will filter out a lot of people before of the gore.

If you stick with it, you get one of the more aggressively feminist anime out there. And I do mean aggressive. Every character arc is a metaphor for something women either have to deal with primarily or exclusively in society. The show actively punishes the female characters who can’t recognize themselves as victims and rewards the ones who do and work to fix their situations. The final villain is an incel power fantasy. I’ve seen next to no discussion on Cross Ange in this context online.

If I have to choose between buying into a US run surveillance state or buying into a Chinese run surveillance state, I choose to buy neither.

I was wondering why his face looked familiar. He was featured on Big Thinkers.

I’ll rewatch it later, but the only thing I remember about him was that he learned how to use his other hand as his primary after the mail bomb blew up his dominate one. Probably the only reason he had an episode at all was the bombing.

You could, idk, maybe not buy prepackaged surveillance camera that rely on someone else’s computer to work.

The idea that in the past hundred years or so, a mud flood wiped out a global, advanced society and the world governments are suppressing the truth. It got a recent resurgence on tiktok.

The Olsen’s Twins 18 Count Down websites were a thing.

Not just random websites any creep could make, but something mainstream TV talked about too.

More obscure, but Greg Kelly “complimenting” an underaged worker for her bathing suit. He would later be fired. He’s on Newsmax now.

I honestly hate the dualshock design. It’s more about aesthetics then it is ergonomics. The controller was always too small for me and the thumb placement never felt right. I really liked the original Xbox controller and was pissed they never released a large version of their controllers afterwards. It was the only one that never gave me hand cramps after long sessions.

The N64 controller wasn’t a good controller in hindsight, but it was an experimental controller, because like I already said, Nintendo didn’t know how game devs would want to use an analog stick. The center was ambidextrous, so there were three different holding configurations. I have more issue with the Game Cube controller with it’s analog nub. It wasn’t comfortable to use ever and they should have realized that by then.

People mock the N64 controller, but it was designed to allow developers three different configurations to design their game around and let them decide what was best. It’s really not a bad shape overall.

It’s was weird hearing the “debates” about where or not men should still open doors for women in an equal society when the obvious solution was for everyone to hold doors open for everyone else. Are you at the door first? Hold it open. Is the other person’s hands full? Hold it open.

I’m just happy that around me, everyone just holds doors for everyone else, regardless of gender. Guys hold open doors for guys. Girls hold open doors for guys. It’s not weird.

25 years ago. Every study on social media and mental health back then showed it was bad.

It was sort of funny, but it only had one punchline and wore out quickly for me. Shock humor has a really low retention rate. Compare that to say, Rejected or the parody GI Joe PSAs, they’re really not great and a wonder why Youtube hired them to make their old copyright volition training videos.

It was run by genocidal fascists before. Just different ones.

Other people have already confirmed he was a racist, but think Clinical Xenophobe is a more apt distinction. He was a unconformable around minorities, but he was also unconformable about the ocean and the color violet. And he wrote about his discomfort. He didn’t write political manifests. This isn’t a case of separating the art from the artist, but seeing the art to see the broken person behind it.

That one was full mask off. Couldn’t be explained by someone trolling. Couldn’t even be explained by a profit motive. Just an attention seeking child.
