  Look, people showing cleavage are aware it’s going to draw attention. In the same way women know if they put words on their tits you’re going to read them. There’s a difference between noticing something and staring right at it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High School DxD returns with release of two new volumes in October⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always loved that there was a controversy because another studio took over the anime and ruined “the artistic vision” of the creator. So much so he basically made a whole season rebooting a previous one just to make his story. His masterpiece including:

  Pailingual… The spell is powerful and feared (by women), and used to gain information.[1] It has, since its introduction, become one of Issei’s trademark spells. However, it has been banned during Rating Games When cast, it causes a mysterious space to expand and unfold with Issei at the center, and only Issei and Ddraig can hear the voices that it creates Pailingual is an area-effect spell that causes women’s breasts to speak, revealing their thoughts and plans and allowing Issei and his allies to come up with counters or defenses

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An important thing to remember is that your job represents about a third of your life and almost half of your waking life. People as a species are sociable and want to know more about the people they spend the most time around. A lot of those interactions are not inherently trying to get something from you but are rather people just being interested in the person ls around them

  That’d be pretty fucking gross

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the whole DC "cleanup" pointless?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not pointless, it has a very clear point: centralize the police in the single territory free from the federal/state devide, where the entirety of the government that controls the country functions, and place under the direct control of an autocratic ruler who has previously used control of this territory to avoid consequences for his crimes

  The primary difference is he’s doing it in year 1 in preparation for what he’s about to do instead of retroactively in the last 20 days to try to save his ass. If that doesn’t scare the shit of of you then it should

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the US infrastructure leads to a confirmation bias. There probably aren’t that many people who are actually “bad” drivers out there. The majority of people aren’t getting tickets, damaging their car, or hurting people most of the time when they drive. Our culture being so car centric however means that the actually bad drivers don’t have a choice but to be on the road. Bad driving also calls a lot of attention to itself because it’s dangerous. So when you drive you frequently see bad driving when realistically most people are just fine drivers, leading to you thinking more people are bad, and thus you must be better

  That and American exceptionalism probably

  I never said useless. Mustard Gas is really useful, State Sponsored propaganda is useful. Usefulness does not equate to goodness as much as capitalist will try to convince you otherwise

  “It’s just the corner of the fireworks store that’s on fire, I don’t see what you’re concerned about”

  Spencer Weart identified the dangers of global warming in the 50s, we ignored the warnings and now people and entire species are dying. Excuse us for trying to prevent accelerating the problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three questions about superpowers, which is the best, and which is the worst?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always liked this old Cracked video which argues that Zach Morris’ Time Out is low stakes enough to not create a superhero world but just kinda makes everything work for you

  In a world without other superheroes? Rogue’s powers from X-Men are probably the worst. You can never have physical contact with other people for the rest of your life and there’s no other powers to steal. Lose/lose

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"A guitarist who's also an astronaut" sounds more impressive than "An astronaut who plays the guitar", despite both meaning the same thing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s typically because you lead with the thing people would know them for, or the thing that person is more known for in general. So because there’s so few astronauts, it’s pretty fucking impressive that you think I’m more likely to know their guitar work than their space career

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human civilization won't last forever; someday there will be a last movie ever made⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This year alone:

  • Sinners
  • The Phoenician Scheme
  • Companion
  • Bring Her Back
  • Black Bag

  Which are all original movies that are genuinely good. Expanding to others there’s:

  • The Legend of Ochi
  • Ugly Stepsister
  • Novocaine
  • Clown in a Cornfield
  • Eddington
  • K-Pop Demon Hunters
  • Oh, Hi!
  • The Ballad of Wallace Island
  • Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight

  You don’t put in the effort to see original movies and then bitch that there aren’t good movies

  You’re citing examples from the 6th, 4th, and 18th centuries and arguably the last one isn’t even about intellectual property

  Even ignoring the blatant “what aboutism” if your justification for why it’s ok to steal video game ideas is because some Byzantians were mean to you 1400 years ago just know that nobody is going to take you seriously

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wyoming to host massive AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  AI Data centers noticeably fuck with the grid. As a result they are facing internal and external pressure to generate more of their own power. Microsoft is opening a nuclear power plant. I would not be shocked to learn through solar, wind, and coal they provide the majority of their own power

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree, that looks like a record player. You can see the plastic cover and what looks like part of the plate on top. There’s also a VCR and I doubt there were many instances of PS3s and VCRs being plugged into the same CRT. I don’t doubt it happened, but this is giving more late 90s/early 2000s than mid/late 2000s

  You’re correct, I had mixed up several of them in my memory. I think 6 is what I was thinking of where you can say “fuck your civil war, I’m out”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RPGs that are optionally pacifist?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically speaking Far Cry 5 meets this definition. At the beginning of the game the big bad guy arrests you and says to wait while he brings you the person you’re trying to save. If you sit there for 10 minutes doing nothing he returns with the person and lets both of you go. Most people just start murdering instead

  Ted Lasso is feel good TV about a guy who takes his traditional skill set outside of his country to a different career (football coach to soccer coach) and different culture. It has a focus on being kind and embracing other cultures. Obviously OP is implying a cultural dissonance with this being popular given the American political landscape

  Dead Rising 2: Off the Record did have a sandbox mode and in my opinion was the most fun game in the series. The original had an infinite time mode but you had to get the true ending I believe to unlock it

  So you’re saying I should view the speed of sound in a medium like the speed of light in a vacuum? That it’s the “speed-limit” of how a wave propagates and so trying to exceed it is impossible for a physical wave?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plague kills Arizona resident, marking first recorded death since 2007, health officials say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bubonic Plague never went away and it doesn’t make much sense to vaccinate against it. It’s still carried primarily by fleas and other small blood drinking bugs, prairie dogs can also commonly carry it. Plague is treated relatively easily by antibiotics and isn’t usually fatal or likely to cause long term damage. As the title indicates there’re usually 7-10ish cases of plague per year in America and those are rarely fatal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is wrong with being "Black Pilled"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do incels have some core complaints with validity? Yeah, online dating has been designed specifically to make the majority of people using it feel bad. There are genuine problems that men face in society that women don’t and they don’t get support for. However you can’t pick and choose the members of your ideology, only your choice to share it with them

  The ultimate problem is that red/blue/black pill ideology is all rooted in the manosphere and incel culture. By utilizing their terminology you are associating yourself with a group of misogynists, racists, and terrorists

  Which is to say someone who says “my MS makes my life difficult enough as is, so I choose not to struggle with dating on top of it” is different from “I’ve been blackpilled because these Stacys won’t consider dating below 8.5/10s”

  There’re other points to be made with regards to being “too ugly to date”, why people dislike non-traditional sexualities, and modern dating culture. However, I’d bet if you went into the real world and talked to real people about specific struggles leading to deciding to no longer date without a bunch of internet words you would see a lot more support
