I’ll steelman her POV because it seems people are (rightly) confused.

Asexuals are requesting a day of recognition for what she sees as a negative-identity. Keep in mind, conservatives are often meritocratic.

It’s like if there were a day for “coffee refrainers”, for everyone who doesn’t like drinking coffee. I’m sure if someone dunked on that day and the coffee refrainers, it’d all be in good spirits.

But if someone dunked on asexuality, I’m sure it’d cause a lot of upset and defensive argument, which implies more “merit” to asexuality.

While progressives can go “who cares, just leave em be”, conservatives see all “non-deserved” attention as an affront to meritocracy, that needs to be squashed.

To be fair, I’m pretty sure the slave race of house elves continue being slaves because “they love being slaves”.

I was giving $20 a month to Effective Altruism, for years, before someone told me it’s a messed up organisation. I stopped, and since then haven’t given money to anyone. Except $3 a month to Wikipedia, but that’s small fries.

I did a chunk of research looking for strong climate focused charities, but if they didn’t state veganism anywhere on them, I passed and come up empty handed.

I think if you’re expecting traditional horror, it’s more likely just going to frustrate for sure.

You either have the fear the director is trying to evoke, or you don’t.

Fair enough, a CBC News review said

“Even though [Skinamarink] has cemented its place as one of my favourite releases of 2023, I almost feel I’d have better odds playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun than finding someone to recommend it to who’d actually enjoy it.”

It’s not a narrative film as much as just a mood, an evocation, tapping into a very unique experience.

SKINAMARINK.

Two kids wake up in the middle of the night, and things are just … Not right. The door’s not where it’s supposed to be, the chairs in the dining room aren’t right, mum and dad are acting odd…

It’s such a primal form of horror for me, when simple things are just - different… It’s either painfully boring for people, or uniquely terrifying.

Trailer

As much as I’d love a sale, the game is really quite tough. My partner was/is streaming it on twitch, she’s a moderately good gamer and she spent probably an hour on one of the mid stage duets.

I do have “Less Hard” as a difficulty setting that drops the notes you saw in the trailer, probably in half. And if people really want an “Even Less Hard” mode, I can add that in probably a day or two.

I think he had a good grasp on consumer desires. Which seems to be really tough for the majority of people, perhaps business people in particular.

Oh god I didn’t even notice I was replying to you.

Gross, you’re the worst, most bad faith debater I’ve ever had the displeasure of talking to.

You don’t argue in any sense of data or fact, just shitty little retorts amounting to nothing more than “no, actually”.

Don’t bother replying, I’m blocking you across all instances until you get an education, maybe when you turn 18 or something.

Meat products are, per kilo, much more costly for their nutrient profiles compared with plant based alternatives. Any time meat is comparable, this is because of government subsidies. There’s a reason third world countries rely on plant based foods, because they’re objectively cheaper.

There are many cultural practises that we’ve left in the past. Culture is not an excuse for doing objectively amoral things. I can’t say it’s my culture to sacrifice children, even if it is.

I’d put convenience under the umbrella of pleasure. If we all lived our life based on convenience, people would drink drive, people wouldn’t care about consent, just because it’s easier doesn’t mean it’s right.

If my morality was based on whether it cause friction with my family, what weak morals I would have? “In this house, we say the N word!”, “okay yes sorry mum, here I go saying the n word again!” Like, stick up for what’s right, don’t crumble because it might upset those who are objectively morally incorrect.

Plant based food is objectively cheaper, culture doesn’t permit amoral acts, convenience isn’t a valid reason to do wrong, and if mild social pressure from family is enough to cause one to act immoral, then those morals were pretty flimsy to begin with.

Why doesn’t your mother take a vitamin?

Can you… Provide some of those reasons?

Eating meat. It contributes 15-20% of the entire planets greenhouse gasses alone. And people do it just for pleasure. It’s mindboggling.

I’m luckily sensitive to most medications, and find good success with herbal stuff like valerian and passionflower, any of the GABA ones really. They don’t make me sleepy as much as they get rid of that little burning anxiety stress that keeps me awake.

It’s worth a shot for some people.

Sure, but if the OP is talking about “bad president” taking away rights, and the only right being infringed you’ve mentioned is immigrants getting deported, doesn’t every president have an immigration policy? Therefore isn’t every president infringing on said rights?

I just want people to be specific. Right wingers are so slimy and nebulous in their prose, avoiding all specifics to ensure they can’t get fact checked. If you’re gonna make fun of em, I just ask one to be specific.

Honest question, what inalienable rights are being taken away?

Oh god I want to gift ALL OF MY NEIGHBOURS BATTERY LEAF BLOWERS. I bought one, it’s amazing, and we’re about to go into autumn 🤢

I don’t care much about the supposed fidelity, but having a group of mates around each pick an album from my stack is a lot of fun.

It stops people from focusing too hard on the music and going “oh wait lemme queue up this track” etc.

Are you guys just generating insanely difficult code? I feel like 90% of all my code generation with o1 works first time? And if it doesn’t, I just let GPT know and it fixes it right then and there?
