Yeah, my mom and I (in the Philippines) saw an American talk about having lots of money quite loudly in a shopping mall. We were put off.

What search engine do you use?
- Comment on Has America Reached Its Tipping Point with Ignorance? 2 weeks ago:
Something similar happened to us in the Philippines. There was a huge propaganda and disinformation campaign on Facebook by the Marcos family (rumored to have partnered with Cambridge Analytica). Which led to people falsely thinking that Marcos I’s regime was a golden age, and now we have his son as president.

Now I feel bad for the people whose anxiety I accidentally triggered…

I can relate as someone who realizes they’re actually more interested in the Humanities after choosing a STEM preparatory course. Then I remembered that the reason why I chose STEM is because my country doesn’t give a shit about professions other than being a lawyer, doctor, or engineer.

Or you can read world history that isn’t just Eurocentric stuff. Hell, I bet most people don’t know European History in depth. You can even get into scholarly theology, from Christianity to Hinduism. Read philosophies like Confucianism, which will help you understand a bit of Chinese culture.

Get into folkloristics, it’s pretty fun. You can get into all the Slenderman stuff because it’s literally untapped mystery you can’t just rely on secondhand sources, all the research is centered on one controversy that somehow killed his popularity but not every other religion. My “job” (it’s a hobby) is basically having to read the hundreds of all the Slenderman blog ARGs ranging from 2009 to the present day, as well as all the freaking Slenderman and Creepypasta comics. It’s just interesting how religious patterns emerge out of something spontaneously created on the internet, like Zalgo vs Slenderman having parallels with every other religion with “divine rivalry”. Interesting anthropological subject.

- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
Well, one of the reasons why I used 3rd party apps to begin with was because the mobile Reddit app was an unoptimized buggy mess for me, which often overheated my phone.

I use Stealth with the express intent of not contributing to Reddit (there are no ads on Stealth) while consuming their server’s resources. It’s a sort of protest in its own way. Especially since those niche interest subs are the only way I could quickly get information about the community without having to scroll through discord servers— hell, in Lemmy-Kbin most of them are run by bots reposting from Reddit, and there is no way I can manage or advertise my own magazine, what with my busy schedule in my university.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on Lemmy, so correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Voyager, which I’ using right now, pretty good? You also don’t have to install an app, even though the apps on the Google Play store are pretty good.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 6 months ago:
I hate how everything has to be monetized nowadays, or how money is to be expected for everything. Eventually people who provide free service or altruism will be seen as competition.

Not a lot of people are lucky to get funded unfortunately :(
- Comment on Why are so many countries in the world “developing” and poor, while essentially only Western countries have a high standard of living? 1 year ago:
Colonialism has done really bad things in the African and Middle Eastern continent. When they withdrew they irresponsibly drew the borders and now civil wars happen all the fucking time
- Comment on Why are so many countries in the world “developing” and poor, while essentially only Western countries have a high standard of living? 1 year ago:
Not just the US. Cambridge Analytica is trying to manipulate our politics through scummy means such as misinformation. And our country is being fucked by the effects of Climate Change while western countries are celebrating because “it’s more sunny and warm now! :D”.

Also you’re too focused on trying to defend yourself from any potential accusation? What about that point someone made that in some points of history, regions of relatively high cultural development change over time?

I mean, not many people would call Eastern Asians “white people”

I’ll call it that way.

- Comment on Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here? 1 year ago:
Intelligence doesn’t trend to an objective “perfection of the brain”. Someone with 190+ IQ can still believe in false conspiracy theories due to the nature of the human brain. So someone with a high IQ would easily solve a problem and deduce patterns, but will still fall to human cognitive biases.
