that’s awesome!
- Comment on The 10 Commandments apparently mentions absolutely nothing about protecting children from abuse. 6 days ago:
they are probably covered by other biblical laws that apply to adults… like, if you rape one you just have to marry it because you can’t burden the father with damaged goods, unless it didn’t scream enough, then it shall be stoned to death.
- Comment on We hardly remember how our parents raised us when we were newborn/infants. How can we be expected to raise our own kids after they are born ? 6 days ago:
The Grok AI nanny will take care of them.
- Comment on Internet Archive Faces Copyright Lawsuit Over 'Myspace Dragon Hoard' 1 week ago:
I remember when blogs were full of full albums to download, if an artist complained about their music being shared there were a few that would keep the download links but it was just a mp3 of a baby crying. They should do that with him. Anyone trying to hear Anthony Martino on IA would find a baby crying.

nah, I’m talking about a fixed banner on top 0 on every page taking to a competitors list they do not control :)

- Comment on Those who strongly promote patriotism are not happy when it happens in other countries. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve dealt with actual nazi/fascist groups in the past and I’ve read a great deal of their theory material, and I disagree with people saying “nationalism” because the people strongly advocating nationalism kinda advocate it internationally, that every country should be strongly nationalist - which includes control over the national resources, control over immigration, etc, etc, they want this for every country. The mouth-breathing street thugs are just mindless bigots, but here in Latin America, because of high miscegenation, there are plenty non-racist fascist organizations (not gonna call “anti-racist” because they are pretty tolerant of racists) that bond just over xenophobia lol
Main themes are “anti-globalism”, anti- anything considered “progressive”, etc etc, and I don’t know how it goes for white supremacists in the USA since they’d have trouble with land claim and shit, but even European bonehads like Ian Stuart openly support nationalist groups from Africa, Middle-East, East Asia, Latin America, etc, because regardless if they see themselves as superior race, their idea is to keep Europe white, and the rest which to their own ethnic group, and if those other places were Nationalist, they would be more prone to “love their land” or whatever to not immigrate to Europe.Patriotism for me is a bland word used for political campaigns to evoke a vague sense of duty and sacrifice and make people support their government when their government is fucking them over. Nationalism is a strong ideology that goes beyond the horizontal political spectrum (for Latin America, for example, most right-wing parties use patriotic propaganda with national symbols but are in favor of privatizing national resources to foreign companies - read American companies - , while far left parties use nationalist rhetoric about strong sovereignty and protectionism (average “left” is pretty neokeynesian and, weirdly enough, are going after free commerce blocks )

- Comment on Social media may be messed up, but it helped us know [who the/how] bad person is 4 weeks ago:
So there is this guy, best friend of my father since before I was born, I knew him for my entirely life. He always worked with food trucks and when I was teenager I worked with him and we would often work until 4am. All kinds of people would show up, early it would be families with kids, later people coming out of clubs and nightlife, then even later it would be cops, drunks, prostitutes, transvestites, crackheads, drug dealers… he always treated everyone equally, he’d give free hotdogs to homeless and beggars, the guy had a huge heart and everyone liked him.
Later I had moved to another city and comes Facebook. I add him, see a lot of right wing bullshit content he liked and shared, even stuff coming from openly homophobic people and it was shocking because he is gay. We have an ugly argument and I didn’t speak to him for about two years, felt like shit the whole time, kept remembering what an amazing and generous person he is, that was always up to help everyone around him. Next time I was back in town I went to his house to apologize, he said he didn’t even remember we had an argument.
People are complex as fuck, and social media got us burning bridges for believing they are evil.

But did you see them IN PERSON? How good is your score now, uh?
- Comment on At one time, a man seeing a female's naked knee was equivalent to a man seeing a female's breast today. 4 weeks ago:
At one time, a man seeing a female fully naked was the equivalent of a man seeing a female today too… because, you know, everyone was fully naked all the time, clothes hadn’t been invented yet…

- Comment on Eventually, coffee moves from a drink that gets you going to an emotional support drink. 5 weeks ago:
I also always see people saying that having a coffee or a smoke helps them take a shit in the morning, because they wake up, have a coffee and cigarette and they take a shit… well, I wake up, don’t do either, and after 5-10min I take a shit too…
- Comment on Eventually, coffee moves from a drink that gets you going to an emotional support drink. 5 weeks ago:
Were I was raised there wasn’t a taboo over coffee as a “drink for adults” (something that I learned from American movies and found quite funny), when I was a kid I’d drink coffee with milk because I didn’t care much about coffee, but nobody would bat an eye I did… I also never understood that thing about people drinking coffee and getting energized, from what I learned the American-style coffee has about half the caffeine of the regular coffees we have here (Brazil), and not rarely I have coffee with bread or cookies before bed (if I didn’t have dinner and I’m feeling too lazy to make something), it doesn’t affect my sleep the least and I never felt the least energized with coffee. I always thought this thing about caffeine getting you high was a joke from movies, but people in real life do seem to claim it :S
(well, I do remember teens smoking oregano thinking it was pot and claiming to be high as well…)ps: Nope, I’m not addicted to coffee. The regular breakfast here is coffee with bread and butter, but most of times I don’t have breakfast before leaving so I don’t drink any coffee the whole day, and I go weeks without drinking it. If it isn’t to have a coffee with bread, cookies or biscuits, I don’t have coffee at all.
- Comment on When boomers said they wanted to "protect children" from the media, they created MPAA ratings and the Parental Advisory stickers. When Gen X wanted to "protect children" from the media... 5 weeks ago:
I’d say they are even lobbying for that, anyway, average congress member age in the USA is 57 and in the EU is 50. Those aren’t boomers.

Boomers are retiring, and all Big Tech CEOS from the last 10 years are Gen X (a few Millennials too)

Whenever I saw people in the 2010s complaining about planking, harlem shake, ice bucket challenge, and then tiktok dances early this decade, saying kids are stupid and shit, I remember we were jumping at bushes and going downhill on shopping carts getting ourselves wrecked at curbs because we saw that at the television lol

- Comment on 15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees. 5 weeks ago:
I should have specified minimum and maximum body temperature. Doesn’t matter where you are from, if your body temperature is like 15ºC or 45ºC you will hardly survive
- Comment on 15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees. 5 weeks ago:
Celsius was designed for water, we should have a scale where 100 = maximum temperature human is expected to be alive and 0 = minimum temperature human is expected to be alive (and 50 normal human temperature). That’s a humane scale.
