African or European coconut?

That, but fakakted.
- Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly? 1 week ago:
It’s much more likely that it would either fly away at another trajectory or circle back several times before eventually hitting us. In order for it to become another Earth satellite, it would have to miss us at a very precise angle and speed in order to get trapped in a stable orbit around us.

Ah, well, they don’t need to worry about being caught or identified, they can just stop you in the street. I thought you were referring to scammers or something.
- Comment on How to create a hand-held EMP 2 weeks ago:
would be very useful if masked men approach you and try to photograph you with a potentially illegal biometric collection application.
Anyone trying to collect biometric information in such a brazen manner is not bright enough to use it for anything useful. There are so many more subtle and clandestine ways to obtain it that don’t risk being caught or identified.

Okay. I mean, are they like old-timey sexist jokes or something? Because if you’re saying modern humor isn’t sexist/racist/whatever-ist, I’d strongly beg to differ.
- Comment on Say what you will about Kirk, but he made some great points in his debating 2 weeks ago:
No, you still don’t get it and I don’t think any further explanation on my part is going to change your mind, but just know this is about mass psychology, not the particulars of any political system or culture. You think you’re protected from this kind of hysteria, but you’re not.
Anyway, best of luck to you and yours.

Took a look at his posts. I mean, yeah, a lot of them are kinda just dad jokes and/or only chuckle-funny, not real funny, but I don’t see the boomerishness. I think that word has kinda just become a slur for people online who one doesn’t like at this point.
- Comment on Not proud of myself. But I do it all the time 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry, maybe I’m OOTL, but what about this is particularly boomerish? And why all the hate?
- Comment on Say what you will about Kirk, but he made some great points in his debating 2 weeks ago:
I’m fully convinced that it won’t happen here, unless we’re directly invaded.
As I said, you’re making the exact same mistake many made in America. Dictators come to power when a population is suffering and their government has profoundly failed them. In such times, they’re so desperate that they’ll vote for a strongman outsider who promises them their wildest dreams. This is not an American error that the Irish are immune to making, and if you think so, you’re just as ignorant as the Americans you think so little of.
- Comment on Say what you will about Kirk, but he made some great points in his debating 2 weeks ago:
Oh, yeah, this type of insane bullshittery could never happen in Europe. Except that it already has and continues to. You’re parroting the same, lame “it can’t happen here” crap many of my American friends were in 2016.

Actually, the current generation of AirPods Pro (2) do as well, you just have to update their firmware to the new iOS 26 version.

LOL, reported. I hope you someday learn how to recognize that you’re the very thing you hate.

Everyone in and out of academics knows labeling speech “violent” is an attempt to get it censored. Stop being naïve.
- Comment on My friend exposed a guy for bad stuff. Now he's created a site where he archives everything my friend posts online & deliberately twists it to make her look bad/discredit her. What should she do? 3 weeks ago:
Go talk to a fucking lawyer and stop seeking advice from people online!
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 3 weeks ago:
Then she too wasn’t using the word correctly. She may have meant the affective portion of it, which she probably didn’t have.
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 3 weeks ago:
There’s nothing in the context of this quote or Elon Musk’s that suggests they’re talking about empathy being taught in schools and it making boys weak. In both cases it’s more a response to Democrats using the word a lot in their political speech to try to bring coalitions of people together.
- Comment on No I'm really not sorry. George Floyd was a father too, and before old Charlie had his personal turning point he called him a scumbag. 3 weeks ago:
I would encourage people to read the Wikipedia page on George Floyd. He was a complicated and flawed individual, who definitely did some bad things and didn’t make very good decisions all the time. But he tried to improve later in his life with mixed results (at least with regards to drug addiction), and that counts for something, I think.
Derek Chauvin and Charlie Kirk, by comparison, tended to get worse as their lives went on. Chauvin may well have framed Floyd for a drug crime and Kirk espoused factually false information to millions of people just to gain fame and power in conservative circles.
These people are not the same.
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 3 weeks ago:
Then please explain the quote above.
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 3 weeks ago:
The man simply didn’t understand the word at all. Empathy is our capacity to understand the minds of others. It does not convey approval or agreement, simply understanding. Psychopaths have empathy; it’s how they’re good at manipulating others. You have to understand someone to manipulate them effectively. All humans possess some degree of empathy, as do most animals.
There is an affective (emotional) component to empathy that effectively causes your mind to conjure the same emotion you perceive another person (or animal) to be feeling. This is why you cry when watching an emotional scene in films sometimes. Psychopaths do not have this component, which is why they seem emotionally cold to people sometimes. Psychopaths have to fake this in order to blend into society, and they learn to do so over the course of their lives.
Charlie Kirk simply didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about in this instance, and Elon Musk doesn’t either. As someone on the autism spectrum, I’m not surprised Musk has some difficulty with the concept.
- Comment on If a country needs to employ state-sponsored patriotism, it's usually because there's nothing to be proud of about the country. 3 weeks ago:
Actually, it’s usually a Nationalist tactic to paint any/all opposition as being treasonous, thereby laying the groundwork for targeting them with the military.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned? 4 weeks ago:
Got it time. Lemmy will become like Reddit given enough use base and time. It’s inevitable.
- Comment on bro who tf invented the SPOON 💀 like u see a puddle and thought “yeah imma scoop that” 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think this is difficult to understand at all. You want to have a tool to scoop liquid, hold it in your hand, and allow you to pour it into your mouth. So, you invent a cup or a bowl. Then, you want a tool that allows you to do this in mouth-sized bits. So, you invent a spoon. Or, if you’re really smart, a straw.
This really isn’t that hard.

- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I don’t agree children shouldn’t be watching porn. I started being exposed to it around 10 years old and I’m fine. The real issue is having the proper support structures in place. These involve confronting children’s burgeoning sexual impulses and treating them with respect, rather than trying to “preserve innocence” or “protect” them from “sin” or “indecency.” The people most concerned with protecting children from the indecency of pornography are typically the more deprived of our society anyway. As usual, the issue is more preparing children for adult topics rather than protecting them from them.

I was really referring to the first book, in which a character invites the Trisolarians to conquer Earth because she’s pissed off at her own government.
