- Comment on The gender pay gap is at average 15% in North America. When shopping though, items that are marketed for Men or Women specifically seem to be on average priced the same. 9 hours ago:
“Pink tax” is a thing, though. Not just in North America.
- Comment on Can the Internet be an ethnicity? 12 hours ago:
I find the concept of ethnicity to be weird and fuzzy at best. Like, even within my own country there’s a whole bunch of different cultural sub-divisions (not talking about the russian army, obviously). West of Ukraine almost speaks a completely different language from Kyiv residents and might have more in common with Poles or Hungarians in terms of cultural background.
I think it’s absolutely valid to claim Internet as your cultural background, but the label of “ethnicity” is not defined well enough to use it that way and people love to argue semantics.

Endorsing China and Russia is definitely not very leftist of them

Orb: On the Movement of the Earth is, in my opinion, the best show I’ve ever watched. Also strongly recommend Vinland Saga and Summertime Rendering.

Denji can’t have nice things, ever
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
I haven’t noticed any performance issues and my PC is pretty old. I expected more hassle with installation, but you literally point it at game’s exe file and click 2 buttons.
I’m guessing there might be issues if you uncheck some of the restrictions like matching boss size to arena size, but I haven’t ran into anything on default settings.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
Tried out Elden Ring randomiser mod, can feel my addiction returning.
Also have been playing Blue Prince on and off. Phenomenal game, but also not easy.

Isn’t that also how fugu gets its poison too? I think the pufferfish grown on farms where their diet is regulated aren’t poisonous.

- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Do other fingers get their own names in those languages, though? Or is thumb special, like in English?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
In almost every other language there isn’t even a separate word for “thumb”, it’s just one of the fingers.

I have not (thankfully) experienced the condition in real life, but Sanderson usually does his research on portraying this kind of stuff, so he often hits close.

- Comment on The pipeline 3 weeks ago:
Soviets removed the “proletariat” from the dictatorship very quickly. About the same time when Lenin decided he didn’t like losing elections or having any sort of political opposition whatsoever.
