It’s nice to meet all you. I am she/her, can speak Toki Pona and English (non-natively), and locatable on Reddit as MozartWasARed. The links at discord.gg/sEuSSDz6TQ and deviantart.com/…/My-copyright-policy-and-the-impa… are pertinent to me.

What, no president?

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

Because capitalism.

It depends on the place, but sometimes a relaxing video helps.

Enforcing an equal opportunity environment is only authoritarian if your definition of authoritarian is anything that challenges antinomianism.

Things like tanks, guns, and flamethrowers aren't going to work in the water. Even just the dolphins could take humans down. It would be like the emu war, just without the weaponry and with the enemies being smarter.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

I mean things every average combatant can wield.

I did not know that, I always thought water blocked all motion.

Thinking of all this makes me really hope nobody anywhere is making us look bad in the eyes of cetaceans like is happening with elephants due to poachers, as an advocate/contributor of interworld communication.

Where to find online communities of people making stuff mainly as a hobby?

Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

I know of a few places.

The tag on the one I wear says sweatshirt on it.

There's a reason I drew this.

The first thing that often comes to mind is I have honeymooner's nose. It's a medical condition where my nose stuffs up whenever I'm aroused, which is like having the libido equivalent to Pinocchio's nose. All my BF's find out and are all like "wait, so you didn't have a cold all this time" and people go from under-suspecting I like things to over-suspecting I like things.

Despite this, this leads to another thing that comes to mind, being that I'm asexual. I can technically tolerate physical time with a guy if I prepped, but I don't "want" it, look forward to it, or enjoy it. It's just a long ass chore. I do have fetishes... an ice fetish, probably the third thing about me that would surprise any guy I would date. But body to body connection does nothing, hence the asexuality label. If my honeymooner's nose acts up around a guy, it's because they somehow triggered the fetish.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

It helps to think of it in terms of the etymology. If you're homosexual, you're interested in the same gender, and if you're bisexual, you're interested in both genders, which means if you're asexual, you're interested in neither gender. However, it doesn't mean you're interested in nothing, as that's not necessitated. This confusion is where the terms "libidoist asexual" and "nonlibidoist asexual" come from, the latter being one with absolutely no drive and the former being one where a trigger can pop up in a random place that is itself mutually exclusive from one's experience with human relations.

It's also the hallmark of an asexual if physical experience is not necessary. The norm among humans is that, once a certain age is reached, they become dependent on physical satisfaction. There exists a scale I document though that goes from dependency to feeling averse. This is why it's often stressed it's a spectrum, but the rule of thumb is you are considered asexual if you can pass as perpetually physically satisfied without any work.

Aside from relationship surprises and having the full Bruce Lee package, the first one that comes to mind is my mum wanted to reuse my grandpa's unisex name and named me after him despite the gender difference. Despite him being my favorite family member, it feels awkward whenever I'm at gatherings.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

I don't know for sure, but there are some debates that simply don't make sense to me. For example, whether or not dark matter/energy exists is something many just absolutely insist upon. To me, I would imagine, if something exists, being "measurable" is a badge or prerequisite of its existence, but here we have a name for the black omnipresence essence everywhere, the substance of nothing, so to speak, to the point where one of the theories put forward about the gravitational anomalies in the outer solar system is that it's simply dark matter. I'm not buying it. I'm of the school of thought that what we see really is just plain nothingness. For those who constantly accuse the "it could be aliens" theory, it ranks up there to float around a go-to for everything.

Another one are the constant asteroid theories. What made the moon? An asteroid. What tipped Uranus? An asteroid. What killed the dinosaurs? The ice age An asteroid. It doesn't come off as very critical, especially when imprecisions are growing out of them all, for example people went from saying dinosaurs were all genocided specifically by the asteroid to some people saying there were some who became birds to some saying all of them became birds and animals to saying the asteroid did almost nothing to any whole species.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

ELI5: Why didn't the asteroid also reduce life the first time or also create a second moon the second time? Why those specific outcomes for those specific asteroids?

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

I acknowledged that in the last sentence.

Isn't it judging a book by its cover that something so unknown to us is seen as so applicable as a go-to before we know what applies to it? It would be like seeing fire for the first time and thinking "we only know one thing about fire, that it's hot, therefore anything that's hot must be heated by internal fire".

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

That's kind of what I mean, it's a cop-out, especially considering that we know so little about it. For all we know, it could be tiny microscopic black holes, and right now, we wouldn't know the difference, yet we assume it's something we "just know about". Typically in science (or at least it used to be this way), you don't resort to going with the placeholder hypothesis until the more specific ones are absolutely ruled out, so that we don't draw a conclusion in a way that seals the deal on other possibilities.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

How so? I was always taught/told (in the context of science and science class) that it's better to not have an explanation than to not know how to explain something is and just go with something out of pressure. This is that in practice as I'd rather wait, for example, to have better instruments to see if Planet 9 (which there's a demand to identify with clarity since we suspect it to keep hurling small bodies into the inner solar system) is really dark matter (however we might identify it) or if it's an obscure planet, a small black hole, or a phenomenon we don't even know about yet.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

Your comments all seem to imply that you think dark matter is something scientists just randomly assume to be true

Isn't that what a placeholder theory is? They definitely treat it as a go-to, not just with my example, and it's not like I'm the only one who questions it.

People can think of anomalies without taking a leap on it. Dark matter as a hypothesis should not be treated as objective, because that's what a conclusion does, nor should it be, to use a pun, what we gravitate to. We make the instruments to learn, not confirm what we already believe.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

As opposed to randomly building stuff without fully knowing what it's designed for? How do you build a detector for something you know so little about you wouldn't recognize it if it ever were detected? I'm aware an attempt to make them was made, but even the criteria these apparatus' go by can lead us in other places, and often seem to. That's a sign it's premature. They haven't detected. Which is the basis for the findings I showed. It's natural to float around many hypotheses, what goes against critical thinking is to scapegoat it.

A performance in his honor sounds best. Other things seem either rather worldly for him or too difficult such as restoring Constantinople.

Do we need to create increasingly more children for a stable economy?

So in the whole anti-natalism/pro-natalism conversation (which I'm mostly agnostic/undecided on, currently), my friend who is a pro-natalist, argued that the success/stability of our world economy is dependent on procreating more children each year than the previous year, so that we not only replace the numbers of the people who...

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

To my current understanding (especially of whatever economy we speak of), that depends on if there's hyperinflation (have less children?), hypershrinkflation or whatever it's called (pump out those wee babs?), or hyperstagflation (akin to the first thing?). In a world where the ratio between people and money is equal to having less, I never understood why there is no "human standard/factor" in the "gold standard" sense, though then again these are the same people who insist on unchecked social incentive.

Do artistic ones count?

Most unique looking celebrities?

I'm working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It's been helpful to study celebrity faces because it's easy to find numerous reference photos. I've actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it's been harder to find unique looking...

Not if it causes anyone to treat people as anything besides the individuals they are.

There are many defenses for generalizations but they're all based on ethical laziness. For example, there is a growing number of people who dislike people from Russia due to them being in the news, something I probably don't help. It would be one thing to speculate to oneself, to wonder if Russia is the Florida of the Asian world for a reason, or that maybe their ethnicity lost the lottery when it comes to mentality, but to put this into practice on a general level and exhibit scorn to people "just because" they're Russian is wrong. It is unfair to anyone affected by a general opinion that they're treated based on association if they go against the grain, and being a good person just stops being incentivized. It's the mindset that gives us Hatfields and McCoys, or, in Russia's case, chronic crime families because Russia itself often punishes whole families for the crimes of a few family members, which I'm sure has no bearing on the sudden power of the Russian mafia, wink wink. Nations, spiritual groups, genetic groups, fandoms, you name it, people always think it's good to generalize them and it helps nobody. It's simply a form of assumption.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

I wouldn't discourage you, though perhaps this is because that's not exactly the same thing. Like I said, generalizations aren't bad to keep in mind. The seat you choose on a train is your discretion, and a stranger with features indicative of someone who might give you a hard time is a fair thing to gamble against. But you wouldn't be generalizing them themselves. I too am LGBTQ+ (via asexuality) and would jump at the opportunity to avoid many seeming incels or radical feminists (to use two examples, and not judging radical feminists themselves, many just clash with the sphere of asexuality) if I were choosing something like workmates, but I wouldn't do anything to verbally single them out based on things about those individuals I have not confirmed, such as making inclusion harder for them. In fact, if I had to choose either "innocence" or "guilt" as an emergency default, I'd choose innocence.

I eat them, but I too find then distasteful.

Hulk. He's an angry green guy with muscles, created with gamma radiation, nothing special. After a while, he feels less like a super hero and more like a Super Smash Bros fighter.

That's the neat part, you don't. It's pseudoscience.

The only change I think anyone would notice is the town got big on graffiti art. It's everywhere now.

Whoever invented the internet seems to have succeeded in this.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

I can't remember the last time I spoke to anyone who wasn't concerned with some kind of securing of human rights somewhere in the world. If anything, I've always seen some kind of disagreement over "what form" (because apparently "human" and "right" are not straightforward terms for some people, which is rather disheartening as someone who wants a reason to see humanity as intrinsically good). There are tragic world events I'm sure are themselves undeservedly lower on everyone's "care about this" list because thoughts manifest according to atmosphere and not clockwork.

The Beatles are pretty lowbrow compared to the hype given to them which is based mostly on charisma instead. If they made their song debuts on The Masked Singer, not nearly as many people would be particularly drawn to them.

shinigamiookamiryuu ,

If that's the reason, where does the idolization come from? Even as human individuals, the Beatles members are worshipped to the point they can save a dying business by talking about it. It's suggestive of the fact there's some unspoken gimmick at play.

To use an analogy, if a culture is the lock, a language is the key, and some keys just don't fit certain locks.

Awfully generous of the UK to go out of its way to respect Mongolia. I guess you gotta honor that Klingon code.

Scariest/creepiest production logo?

When I was little, TV shows and movies apparently liked to make their production logos creepy. That logo that appeared either in the beginning of a VHS tape or DVD or in the end was enough to get some of us to not sneak out of our rooms at night and watch our favorite shows/movies. And as I grew older, I'd be confirmed of the...

shinigamiookamiryuu OP ,

They do.

The idea that a mugshot should be universally unsmiling is a social norm, it's not a law and I wouldn't see it like some kind of rule. My psych ward mugshot from the beginning of my dark times is still visible to anyone who looks me up by name, and I am quite thankful I was smiling in it, even if the only reason I was smiling was to try to imply nothing was wrong with me. Smiling is also a form of acknowledgement.

Sorry, habit of mine, didn't know Lemmy out of everyone wouldn't like people being communal with old posts. Found it while looking up the stuff I mentioned to see if it's area-specific (which it is, the only caveat) and the search engine for some reason has a Lemmy bias.
