- Comment on Jii-san Baa-san Wakagaeru • Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again - Episode 4 discussion 6 months ago:
Grandma turning young again for real this time, the implications are interesting. How will they fix the ethereal hourglass? The foreshadowing was interesting and it seems like the episodes are starting to move an actual story.
Also the development between the Mino and Shouta was pretty strong this episode. They both seem to be very much interested in each other! And Shouta contemplating keeping the farm, his granddad busting out in tears, that was so sweet.
Another wholesome episode, can’t wait to see how next week plays out.

- Comment on I don't really know how to deal with coworkers who emotionally dump their issues on me 6 months ago:
I think the reason may be two-fold.
The first part, in the eyes of most older people, a man is not supposed to be emotional or give into their more “feminine” feelings. This means they don’t want their wives or children to be the ones that hear the things that concern them or probably scare them, deep down. Most of the stances of conservatives seem rooted in fear, not reason.
The second part is that you are another man, a younger man, and because they don’t know you well you are less risky to tell these things to. They can confide their fears in you because you are a young man, with a life ahead of you and you’ll give them an ear even if you don’t intend to. Really they are probably hoping someone will hear them even if they can’t really pour their hearts out.
- Comment on Who is seeing the real America? - "For Chinese people in North America, the truth is rapidly submerged by the deluge of misinformation in simplified Chinese" 6 months ago:
Poor people that question their circumstances or don’t follow the rules are dangerous for rich people. America has systematically reduced the wealth of millions of African-Americans and rather than vilifying “reparations” everyone should be fighting for equality and justice. Of course the current trend is to subject anyone below a certain wealth threshold to ever-tighter conditions to keep them from ever gaining or building reasonable wealth.

Of course not. The last comment was made based on the title and not the content, which focused completely on African-American crime. I will stand by the fact that the media perpetuates this in English too. If one event occurs, the media makes it appear as if it’s a widespread trend and overplay the frequency and severity of such events, while implying specific races are responsible. All of which is a blatant effort to maintain status quo. “The poor cause crime, the rich follow the rules”

Yeah, I had to make an edit after actually using my failing reading comprehension skills.

While this is probably a much easier thing to achieve with people who are comfortable in languages other than English, a lot of media is doing an excellent job of this narrative in English as well. It’s almost as if some of it is actually true!
- Comment on self hosted newbie question about moCA router 7 months ago:
Get your own Arris Surfboard without the Router elements, make sure it is DOCSIS 3.1 and the maximum bandwidth exceeds your current speed provided by the ISP. I would recommend the SB8200 but check with your ISP to guarantee that they will accept a connection with that model.
Purchase any router you like. I’m sure you can find plenty of router recommendations online. If you wanted a rack router you could even get one of those, but it sounds like you just need a solid wireless router that has good coverage and a few ports on the back, which is pretty standard.

I need to read more of the court case, did he just create a ton of free accounts? If that’s the case, then he shouldn’t be charged with anything because the worst crime he has committed is breaching TOS. Don’t they have arbitration clauses in those?

I love how the article mentions these defrauded cloud providers by their headquarters, as if this obscures the fact we’re talking about Amazon Web Services and Microsoft respectively.
- Comment on Why is "Dear X" considered more formal than "To X" in e-mail/writing? 7 months ago:
At every single company I’ve worked for this has been the accepted form of opening an email. There are hardly any circumstances you should be using “Dear (insert name here),” in a work email.

- Comment on Detective Conan themed Buses and Trams in Hakodate, Hokkaido Japan 7 months ago:
I got to ride on the Conan train from Sannomiya (Kobe) to Osaka. It was such a cool experience, the train from top to bottom is retrofitted with a Conan-themed interior and a nice livery similar to the one in the picture there.
- Comment on Detective Conan themed Buses and Trams in Hakodate, Hokkaido Japan 7 months ago:
Conan is serialized, so a lot of the content has to be “filler” so to speak. Otherwise you wouldn’t know what’s going on if you’re watching in random order. There is some progression, like new character developments and plot points, but most of the series is just Conan and friends solve mystery with little emphasis on plot moving forward.

- Comment on Biden urged to ban China-made electric vehicles from the US 7 months ago:
Yeah this whole subsidize, too big to fail horseshit was status quo fifteen years ago but Stellantis isn’t even an American company. Let the Jeep factory shutter, stop giving into their demands for government fuel. Dry them up, let them go down. If they can’t survive without the subsidies, better more effective companies will.
- Comment on Biden urged to ban China-made electric vehicles from the US 7 months ago:
You know what, the US automotive industry has only served to produce useless vehicles with lower quality standards than anything other manufacturers produce. They cost the American taxpayers over $30 billion during the market crash of 2008 and most “US” brand parts aren’t even made in the US anymore. Toyota makes more “American” vehicles than GM or Ford do at this point and Chrysler is owned by Fiat!

- Comment on Who is Granted Personhood? Frieren’s demons and the trouble with the “inherently evil race” trope 7 months ago:
Demons in Frieren aren’t even Chaotic Evil, they’re just straight up True Evil. And why the author has a problem with it is completely subjective. From a narrative perspective, demons being True Evil is nothing new. In fact, the way Frieren depicts demons seems to be pretty close to how original demons have been depicted in literature. They don’t have feelings of their own, they only act upon impulse and they can’t truly emote, only shadow or mimic the emotions of actually emotional beings. All this with the goal of consuming someone or something.
There’s no trouble with the “inherently evil race” trope in this sense. Now, if Frieren were to make all the demons a specific color or make them talk in a specific way, then we start to teeter onto some troubling parallelism.
