only if you aren't keen to share them with your friends. if you watch an obscure show or movie or read a rare book, most people will be eager to share it with their friends, and th…

well, it didn't say their descriptions were WRONG, just different. The insinuation is that highly social people were informed by what their peers think and say, so their descriptio…

we gotta stop chasing the whole "line go up" ideology. I know that's all capitalism is and how it exists, but we need to be okay with just simply doing well for the sake of doing w…

haha you built kpopping.com?? I'm not into kpop, but I have loads of friends who are, so this is super impressive!!

I had a great conversation about this the other day with a bunch of strangers- we all shared the exact same early 00's internet experience and were all reminiscing about those halc…

I used Rothko as an example of a famous and in my opinion highly underrated artist that those who "hate art" love to use an example of "bad art" because "anyone could just do that"…

art is subjective, you need to really think about it, and reflect on it, to engage with it and enjoy it at its greatest depths. For some, this exercise is part of the joy of art. I…

a lot of capitalism is just gambling, and being able to rig the casino so you keep winning doesn't somehow make you a smarter gambler, it doesn't make gambling less wrong, it doesn…

the phenomenon of "red sprites", massive discharges of electricity upwards into the ionosphere that counter every single lightning strike, are only now being observed and photograp…

maybe he just has big fingers.

what I've noticed is that many arguments have little to do with you, the "opponent", or the topic argued about or even which of you is right. it's more about the arguer re-enforcin…

instead, don't do it because it's disrespectful to people. A lot of people weren't made aware- or didn't have the option- to object to that TOS change. Saying "well, THOSE guys do …

enshittification is the cute fun name for the concept of becoming a nigh-monopoly by buying out your competition with private equity and destroying it, and then- because the free m…

in all kindness, you're such an incredibly niche example of actual usage of this, that only proves it should've been opt-in instead of opt-out. I don't need to know what my tabs we…

they themselves said why: Disney is responsible for cancelling, burying, and destroying the records of a lot of shows that fans seem to really love. TAG, the largest animation unio…

every piece of writing, every sketch and illustration, and a lot of discussions about the process or development of shows/films/books/games/etc are copyrighted and under NDA. Have …

no, of course not. Especially not disney. they need every shred of everything, for liability's sake. If someone brings something to HR, they need to be able to tamp it down. They k…

the people who recently leaked a bunch of governmental memos about the republican party a day ago were all furries who were dissatisfied with their far-right hatred of trans people…

I figure its the same reason behind similar issues all across different industries right now, as well as why there's so few jobs in general: a race to the bottom in terms of minisc…

after everything I've seen and the litigation coming out of europe, I really can't see AI lasting long after they're obligated to prove rights for the data they're training on. the…
