I've just jumped from Reddit. It's great that this story is posted here now. It needs to be repeated once a year for those new or who haven't heard it yet. Great story!

That's a lot of rape... Humans have such a fascination with some types of "moral problems" yet seem to care nothing for others.

I mean, in this day and age why isn't [insert what I know to be true] accepted by [everyone who I perceive to be wrong]. Hegel leads to another Russian smart man who argues a bunch of it might be due to this idea of perezhivanie; how we make sense of what is happening (particularly dramatic events) through our cognition, our emotions and filtered through our needs.

How we make sense of stuff leads to how we behave/believe. This is impacted by our social environment, how we are brought up, our experiences, and our reasoning of those experiences.

It's why it is argued that information alone will never change someone's mind about something, it needs to be attached to an emotion and an experience to unpack.

DS9 was before it's time in some ways and benefits from binge watching.

Nothing dramatic, but I was wanting to engage in communities after just being a lurker but found engagement difficult, read about Lemmy when Boost for Reddit died, noticed Boost was back in playstore, so here I am.

My problem was I watched it expecting Cornetto trilogy and got stoner comedy so didn't enjoy it as much. Going in expecting stoner comedy (when in the mood for it) a few years later increases the enjoyment factor.

Is there somewhere online where you can have an "open discussion"? I've been struck a few times by how some ideas (even presented in a balanced way) just get downvoted hard.

I'm glad someone else is outraged as I was, enough to make a shit post about it on the internet anyway.

My beard of the past 20 years started falling out to look like this recently. Actually pretty sad day when I decided it looked too mangey and I shaved it.

Now my kids call me Mr potato head.

I may be an idiot, but I see these pictures and wonder how on earth they get this many aeroplanes on and off the carrier?

Thanks, I will check those out. I found some mini painting communities to be equal parts inspired and intimidated by too!

This could still happen. If he got back in again and I was Mexico I would be building that wall quick smart.

Failing that there is a good has strut replacement place in Auckland too.

Enjoy that no kids thing! The break without them every now and again is so essential. We only manage one or two weekends a year with four of the blighters.

Probably not, I was curious. It's a pretty petty thing to be annoyed about.

The internet is full of people that may like to share some idiosyncrasies for the entertainment. These things are unique and at the end of the day is truly unimportant.

Except I'm right and that person that has no divider at all is possibly on watch lists.

Bonus points, you just use the utensil you pull out. Buttering bread and get a spoon, doable. Go for a soup spoon and end up with a fork, hard mode activated.

These are an essential piece of beach/holiday gear to fix your jandals(flipflops or thongs in Australia)with.

Sadly it feels (unsure about factual numbers) that NZ is heading to similar styles as the US in terms of politics.

Two elections ago our slightly right of centre main party used popularist Trump/MAGA style campaigning and got slammed for it.

However the latest govt has bypassed a bunch of good process (using urgency) to just repeel a bunch of stuff the previous govt put in place.

I love hearing about "other" (from the perspective of my own growing up) ways of eating food. We have chopsticks and use them infrequently so they are in the "everything else" drawer.

Skim of plaster and a couple of coats of primer/sealer? (I'm not a builder)

Lame, I would have picked this up, I own the physicals and have acquired the digital versions, would love to get the digital version on Kobo.
