- Comment on Google used to show ads I didn't mind. Now Google is THE reason I use adblockers. 2 weeks ago:
Were the adblockers in the mid 90s blocking parts of pages like banner ads, or were they just the popup blockers? I think I may have used the latter.

I believe the issue was that the UK seemingly wants sites to block people under 18 from seeing porn by collecting IDs from everyone. Rather than police the ages of its users or remove all adult content from the instance the .zip admin decided to just block everyone from the UK to forestall any legal issues that might arise.
- Comment on Most American headline 2 weeks ago:
There’s no contradiction for these people. All fetuses have a right to life and children should suffer if they don’t have enough money. Shoulda worked harder at the bootstraps factory if they didn’t want to eat shit their entire lives.
They max out at a 4 on Kohlberg’s morality scale, ie the laws are immutable and nothing can change them. The law says that everyone should live and our system is perfect because it’s our system.

Yeah I mean I’ve been commuting 2 hrs a day in Japan for almost 10 years now-- you’d think I would’ve seen these brake lights by now

If Japan introduced that they never caught on, unless it’s specific to an area or model of car.

Is that true throughout the country? One of my friends lived in the inaka and I was under the impression he got a halfway decent amount for each of his kids every month, and both he and his wife worked.
- Comment on How strong is fermented bean curd supposed to taste exactly? 3 weeks ago:
I like natto but I never would’ve considered blue cheese as an analogous taste. It’s like beans but more earthy, and if textures are an issue for you it might be a little hard to take. Keep in mind that you don’t have to stir it up and get it really frothy like some people do though.
A lot of people eat it over rice but I like it just on a spoon. I usually add a bit of spicy mustard and a small bit of tare sauce (the natto packs are often sold with tiny packets of mustard and tare included).

Mythology isn’t a problem. The issue is convincing huge swaths of a population to believe mythology is true.

- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 4 weeks ago:
I’m less familiar with old Trek (TOS), so maybe it’s an unfair comparison, but the slapstick elements of percussive maintenance in SW seem wildly less serious than the types of repairs happening in say TNG. I can’t think of a time Geordi had an mechanical problem he couldn’t figure out and smacked it to get it working again.
- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 4 weeks ago:
It’s one thing to not understand your car alternator when you can call a tow truck, and quite another when you’re traveling light years in interplanetary space. Plus we do see things getting fixed, but it’s never in detail. In Star Trek you get plausible technobabble: “We can’t go to warp because all the relays are blown on the nacelles, and it’ll take at least 4 hours to replace them.” In SW you get “We can’t go to light speed for some undefined reason. Let’s watch Chewie moan angrily while smacking something with a wrench, then R2 shoves something in a hole and gets blown across the room via electric shock. And now the hyperdrive works.”
- Comment on Where does technology come from in Star Wars? 4 weeks ago:
I think I read somewhere that during the filming for the original trilogy scenes they read Chewie’s lines in English so the actors would know what they were reacting to. Not sure if it was the same for R2

Not sure about the UK, but the prep school circuit in the US gives a bump for getting into elite universities, and the connections made there can be just as lucrative as the ones in colleges.
