I don’t know what you’re smoking, but I want some.
Running around bare foot in a work environment (especially on a ship) is objectively unprofessional for multiple reasons.
The same with break dancing in your chair.

- Comment on Amazon Doubles Down on AI Dubs for Anime Despite Backlash: Creative Director Wanted 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t have to be 1 to 1 accuracy for me. All that matters is it makes sense for the scene / what’s been going on. If I’m particularly concerned something is being lost in translation I will compare it with the subs.
For the most part I’ve noticed poor translation dubs on the 1st episode of shows so just write it off as a bad dub and fully move to original audio and sub’s.
- Comment on Amazon Doubles Down on AI Dubs for Anime Despite Backlash: Creative Director Wanted 3 weeks ago:
For me dubs depend on the show. Some shows have good to great dubs others have shit dubs.
It also depends on when I’m watching a show - I’m not gonna switch to dub halfway through when shows that didn’t have dubs when I started get them.
- Comment on YSK that Chris Hughes, one of the founders of Facebook, says the company must be dismantled 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, probably so he can start a similar company and get his piece of the pie.
- Comment on Can pets tell who's petting them without looking? 1 month ago:
I would imagine so - smell alone probably gives them a pretty accurate idea, but people also pet differently (probably not as uniquely as a fingerprint but differently enough)
Some people are heavy petters some light, some only pet in one direction, some only pet certain areas (head only, flank only, etc.) And so on.

Even if the kid was throwing stones it still wouldn’t justify killing him.
- Comment on U.S. consumers are so financially strained they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2 months ago:
Not only rock bottom pay, but crazy long hours.
10-12 hour shifts plus overtime. Thats straight bullshit.
I can understand it in hospitals (although nurses and {most} doctors need to be taken better care of then we do now.) Because it takes a while to safely switch care providers, but industrial work and long hours is just raping workers for profit.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 2 months ago:
Its kind of already happening here - just for different reasons.
There is very little engagement on Lemmy besides in a few communities. What little engagement there is - is driven by a few users.
Even broad conversion topics get very little engagement.
I get not everyone wants to be a topic “starter” (i know I don’t), but they can’t even bother to either:
1: just post a tiny comment (look at “what are you watching” in the movies / TV subs on piefed.Social; seems like a real easy topic for anyone to engage in and yet there’s only ever like 10 posts and zero upvotes)
2: upvote topics or posts; While the points don’t matter - they still show and promote engagement.
Its honestly rather frustrating.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 2 months ago:
In single-player games I occasionally “lightly” cheat.
Using “infinite” mods or unlock “everything” mods just ruins all the fun for me.
But unlock a specific thing or get a small amount of rss type cheats that reduce grind I like.

- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 2 months ago:
The study found that tattooed mice produced significantly lower levels of antibodies after vaccination. This effect is likely due to the impaired function of immune cells that remain associated with tattoo ink for long periods. Similarly, human immune cells previously exposed to ink also showed a weakened response to vaccination

Lol. So full of yourself. No one is trying to bring “seniority” into this.
Saying you sound like a teenager who just discovered drugs is not the same as saying you are a teenager* (*so shut up - the adults are talking?)
- Comment on Psychedelic Truth 2 months ago:
No you really didn’t “try to hint at it”.
Honestly you sound like a teenager who just discovered drugs and really enjoys them so you went down the research rabbit hole.
And there’s nothing wrong with that in and of itself, but everything you said sounds like it’s coming from an arrogant/privileged place.

I mean the government stops you - at least in the USA. If they find you, no matter how ‘responsible’ you are being they will charge you/kick you off the land unless you “own” the land.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Same, although I think the 1st book would have been better if it didn’t focus so much on the humans for at least the first half of the book.
Like I think it would have had more impact if we were guessing what was happening off planet instead of ‘seeing’ it.

Yes it’s better in a group. Or at the very least just playing on a multiplayer server is better imo than single player. (At least until npcs are in)

That quote is being proven true right now though?
People don’t really remember what happened with the nazis. Most of the people who actually lived that past are dead now.
And the vast mojority of people lack enough empathy/understanding to be able to ‘walk a mile in their shoes’ as it were and extrapolate the horrors from the most readily available histories.

I’m glad they are officially dipping their toes into audio dramas after killing off all the fan dramas.
But why does it have to be another damn prequel.

Yeah I feel like not hearing people use “groovy” is more because things aren’t feeling very groovy lately.

- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x09 "Terrarium" 5 months ago:
I mean I try not to pick everything apart. It’s just some things are so ‘in your face’ to me my brain goes into an error loop.
Especially when you are looking at something thats only purpose is atmosphere vs something that affects the story.
In this case the floating rocks are merely set decoration whereas the orbit through the atmosphere is a pointless artifical timer to add unneeded drama to a situation that already has enough. (And also already has another artifical timer with the vaccine d plot that is only there to make Una the episode’s ‘bad guy’)
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x09 "Terrarium" 5 months ago:
-
Yeah it could be, but still - it was unneccessary. Just having a close orbit would have given the same amount of extra (unneeded) drama.
-
That would just make it even worse that they were dicking around instead though?
