- Comment on As a Chinese American, if I wanna travel internationally, is it better to just say I'm American, or pretend to be a Chinese National (to hide from Anti-American sentinments)? 1 week ago:
This is an interesting take haha. I’m Canadian and have never once heard of Americans being nicer than Canadians - it is part of our national identity that we’re"oddly nice". I’ve heard more of the “Americans are big and take up space” commentary from above, and have even heard it in Canada (and we share a lot of cultural similarity). Not saying you’re wrong, I just found this such a reversal of my experience I had to comment. Overall, I love my siblings to the south :)

I love this reasoning. You are social because, at some point in the degree, you spoke with another human

I fear there are heavy “lunch is served” overtones to this, and I don’t mean a catered meal 😬

I knew there was a mechanism but not the name for it! Thank you!

I find myself wondering if you can stop payment on your credit card? You’ve attempted to work with the company, so I assume that meets the cc provider requirement of attempting to resolve. Not sure, but worth a shot

I hear they released a single “gold edition” T-Rex with adorable little dragon wings on its back. Fluffy, of course

- Comment on obesity even kills stars, but the bigger they are, they shine brighter too 1 month ago:
That’s bananas. I knew the relative sizes were absurdly imbalanced, but no one has explained it in a way that I could imagine those differences. Thanks very much!

I’ve never heard it described this way. If accurate… I get it now
- Comment on YSK this woman is called Kathlyn Boyle. She is the most powerful woman in Silicon Valley and one of the closest friend of JD Vance. 2 months ago:
I don’t think I agree, recently at least. I can instantly think of several male examples (Trump’s orange, Vance looks like a thumb, how can Musk be SO white), but relatively few female examples (Hillary’s powersuit maybe?). Perhaps just where we put our attention, or how polarised everyone is that this type of comment will always come up, but I don’t think it’s as gendered of an issue as it was. At least not as related to politics.
On a related note, I also hadn’t come across Hillary’s cankles, but had enjoyed much laughter at McConnell’s skin sack lol

We predictably comment on powerful men’s appearances as well.
- Comment on Regular gym-goers probably avoid the gym on New Years Day because it's too crowded 2 months ago:
I did this today, for this exact reason.
Typically I’ll find home workouts for the first 3 weeks of the year, or go at known low times in the day
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 2 months ago:
I love that you didn’t give up the complex creations. Unlike the other commenter I have no idea what a hurdy gurdy is, but I can appreciate the value of overmaking stuff. Glad to hear that you didn’t let the capitalisation of steampunk kill your passion 😊
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 2 months ago:
Agreed. I don’t always need the author to explain the origin story of characters. Let me guess a little.
Shoot I don’t remember this arc, don’t suppose you can share a quick synopsis/analysis on your comment?
For good reason. Phenomenal series, it’s what hooked me into reading in the first place

Spinach needs love too! 🤔 Absolutely. It’s shocking how much clarity you get on human behaviour when you assume much of it is based on unconscious/animalistic tendencies haha. And yes, #2 is a good shorthand for this - I take a lot of heart from knowing we’re like other advanced life, makes complex existence a little less… existentially isolating, I think?

Fear may be better said as “the unfamiliar”, but unfortunately I’m confident in this point haha. Did a psych degree, and basically our reptilian brain (fight/flight/flee centre) makes those snap decisions based on previous experience (familiar: friend or unfamiliar: foe?). We can relatively easily override it (e.g. curiosity about the newest swiffer), but if we don’t know to do that, our brains default to “oh I’ve heard of that one before, is friend”

Also stressed ppl are better consumers. Less critical thought, more impulsive behaviour to alleviate anxiety

Psychological safety in play ^^ humans are animals, we trust what we know, fear what we don’t. All of marketing is geared to that simple fact
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 2 months ago:
It’s been a minute since I read the books, but I think I remember having a similar theory. Maybe it was a missed opportunity by RJ, cuz I remember continuously wondering when the grand reveal would happen that it’s actually all Mat (and canonically, I can’t think of a reason that wouldn’t be as valid as other men’s memories, I don’t think the story arc ever kills that possibility lol).
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 2 months ago:
Maybe you could help a new generation learn the value of intentional steampunk :) bring some of the passion back to the hobby, as it sounds like many just accept it as presented. Share it as a “when I got into this, we made this shit” and how you did it. I might be wrong, but I’m weirdly confident you’ll eventually find a cross section of steampunks that would be interested in the creative element
