[article] Japan is inventing trains
  • I listed some reasons in the comment literally right after that.

    "Trains already exist" doesn't address literally any part of the other project. Horses existed before cars, too.

  • What is *love*?
  • English is kind of weak in this arena because we only have one word for love, but we can modify it to be more useful: romantic love and fraternal love. Any other use stems from these two, and will basically boil down to "I like ___a lot."

    Another specification is when people ask "Do you love them, or are you in love with them?"

    "In love" means romantic love, I think. You want to spend your life with this person, probably every day, will overlook their faults and are enamored with the things they do, the way their brain works, etc.

  • A cool guide to sushi etiquette
  • Asia in general is just much more "honest" than the West. If you're fat, they won't beat around the bush and say "you're beautiful the way you are." If you're ugly, they won't hide in platitudes, they'll say "damn, it must suck that you're so ugly."

    It's not malicious, these are simply facts that they don't ignore. And, to be honest, I think it's healthier in a lot of ways. The west has a ridiculously massive weight problem that we just completely ignore - or even actively support - because people are afraid to make anyone feel bad.

  • Bill Gates says not to worry about AI's energy draw
  • They weren't meant to be causative, and I stand by both of my statements. Her writing is objectively bad, and it's a small miracle that she didn't manage to ruin this series like everything else she's written. Yes, I know those are strong words, and yes, I do believe them.

  • Too real
  • Biden is open to outside opinions, and has not outwardly said things like "finish them off," or "finish the job," or "I'd give them all the weapons we have."

    Your choice is between Biden and Trump, no matter how badly we all want that to not be the case. Stop supporting the worse option just because you're mad at the world and want chaos to rule.

  • Trump Used "Palestinian" as a Slur. Biden and Debate Moderators Didn’t Say a Word.
  • You must be middle-aged. Elderly people regularly lament that they thought they had less impact on the world than they really did, and wish they hadn't been so complacent. Stop being complacent.

    Trump's first election killed millions of people from his lack of leadership/malicious misinformation during covid. That was political, and caused directly by the president at the time.

  • A Rant about Front-end Development
  • I'm sorry, but the vast majority of this really just boils down to "all my coworkers suck." Why the fuck are you still there? It sounds like literally nobody you've ever worked with knows how to do web dev

  • Too real
  • Biden is a hardcore religious Genocidal Zionist complicit in Genocide. But only Democrats could ignore this massive elephant in the room as if it doesn't exist and pretend everyone should ignore it with them.

    Nobody is ignoring anything. In a first-past-the-post system like we have, a third party candidate cannot win. It's virtually impossible. We simply see reality, and would prefer to have a chance of avoiding genocide instead of helping Trump guarantee it.

    Your righteous anger is ultimately working against your stated cause. Stop indirectly supporting Trump.

  • Too real
  • Now they're willing to vote for their blue god emperor that's bragging about how much he loves supporting Genocide.

    So your plan is to either vote for Trump and guarantee genocide, or vote third party, helping Trump gain office, and guaranteeing genocide?

    Cool, great plan, that obviously ends super well for everyone involved.

  • Bill Gates says not to worry about AI's energy draw
  • So no matter how much one hates Rowling (I don't, she's done more good than evil by far still), she's smarter and more decent than most of the humanity. That sucks.

    Lol. She lucked into an amazing world that managed to remain a good story despite her writing, not because of it. She's not an idiot, but literally every other piece of writing she's ever put out kinda slams the "smarter than most of humanity" line.

  • Definitely not interested enough in the characters for an anime - they're all really strongly stereotyped and (IMO) annoying. The game was decently fun, though! A bit of a grind, but I had a good time with it
