the fediverse is too complex to free people from centralized stuff

Not really, people understood email just fine, and fediverse isn’t that different. The problem is there’s a major subtle push to make anything open source look way more complex than it is. It’s basically an open secret that microsoft did this with linux, and I’d be shocked if social media companies aren’t doing the same.

it’s extremely biased towards leftism

That’s inevitable. Anything foss will appeal far more to the anti corporate/ anti capitalist leftist people.

The difference is that plastic does genuinely have good uses

What about people afraid of jellyfish? They’re older than bones

There’s a difference between time and our measurements of time. The core concept of time, as in the rate of change of anything, isn’t an artificial concept. But the units we use to measure time are artificial.

I’d say it’s more accurate to say the abuse of religion/abusive religion uses the abuse of anxiety. Yes, abusive religious organizations exist, and they all use anxiety about some cosmic punishment to excuse and enforce their abuse. I absolutely agree with you on their existence and how terrible they are.

I don’t think that’s universal and inherent to religion. There are religious groups that are simply good sources of community with either no focus on any cosmic punishment, or that don’t agree that any “cosmic punishment” exists.

I know you aussies have that law that allows us kiwis to join you as another state of Australia, but I hope you know just how fucking impossible it is for that to ever happen

That doesn’t explain why you would want to replicate the aesthetic of a text encoding bug in the epstein files

Fun fact: early microwave ovens were designed to defrost hamsters

You clearly seem to think that personality is at best a minor part of how women choose a partner. For the majority of women, personality is a huge part in them choosing who they want to let into their life, with physical attractiveness coming after that. For the rest of women, I’d be wary about dating them in the first place.

If you want to find a partner, I recommend you stop trying to find one. Wash up, clean the dishes, go outside, and find people to hang out with. Find a club, do some sport, play some music, or join a church (don’t care if you’re not religious, they’re good places to meet people). If you’re clean, confident, and can hold a conversation for more than a minute, I guarantee most people won’t notice race.

Also, I get that you’re most likely a rage bait account. I don’t care. I know there are people who genuinely feel like this, so if you don’t care, I hope they will.

trust me, your free time will be gone

I disagree, because I’d count that as free time.

Scripted dialog is usually idealized, not realistic. Whenever a script includes someone getting tongue tied, it’s always to say something about them. There are characters that do often mess up words in a script, like the nervous young person with a massive crush or the constantly distracted old genius

Way to assume there mate. A. rabbits and magpies are invasive species that hurt both farming and the nz native ecosystem, and B. rabbits are pretty tasty in a good curry or stew.

I don’t know where you live, I assume aussie, but here in nz magpies aren’t protected. And while I don’t think they are officially classed as pests, they definitely can be.

Really the only times I’ve been in a situation where I both didn’t have a gun and would like one is when I’m out on the farm and I see a rabbit. Or a magpie.

Edit: to clarify, this is in nz. Both rabbits and magpies are invasive.

I agree that it’s a genocide, but why is it not a war? There’s definitely plenty of fighting

Or we use binary to write all bases, since binary is the simplest. So English uses base 1010, and the alien is using base 100.

This system does break down when trying to use a base that isn’t a positive integer. I’ve heard of people trying to use base e (yes, as in euler’s number) for maths research.

Like Withers from BG3?

There are definitely cultural differences, but for its size, the US is really homogeneous. As an example, Tom Scott’s video on “jingle bells, batman smells” shows way more regional variation in the UK compared to the US, despite being smaller than some states.
