Ukraine-born Miss Japan winner relinquishes crown following affair
  • That's definitely not about me, because she apperently faced exactly the same critics as the ones I advanced.

    There is nothing racist in acknowledging OBVIOUS differences and respecting them

    I hope you feel better for how not racist and good you are

  • Ukraine-born Miss Japan winner relinquishes crown following affair
  • This particular group of people is very well defined, just by anyone with 2 functioning eyes.

    I don't want an Easten European women to represent Japanese, as much as I don't want a Japanese to represent Easten European. It makes no sens. You are being obtuse on purpose if you still pretend you don't understand that

    Edit: this country is like 99% of a single ethnicity. So yeah, skin color and DNA have to change in order to represent them

  • What groups you are unwillingly associated with? How you handle it?

    I ll start : I have been following a pretty known tech/Linux journalist, and always found he is a fun dude to listen to, with interesting tech takes

    The fact that he is also very openly "american conservative" (aka, religious & weapon nut, anti abortion, etc) annoys me, but i keep those things separate. And he does keep it separate too (politics channel vs tech channel), which is a great decision.

    NAC makes you insensitive to alcohol

    N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a harmless (EDIT: please check at least https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcysteine for possible side effects) compound which protects your liver, you can buy after searching like for 10 seconds

    I ve been taking it for a week (1 pill, 600mg per day) before noticing that drinking doesn't do anything. Went to a party, drank 3 pints of beer, one after another, with absolutely zero effect. Usually, just 1 pint is enough to get socially talkative, 3 pints of beer i am supposed to be very obviously drunk.

    Another time, drank a third of a bottle of wine (at my place, so it cannot possibly be watered down), the only effect was nausea (which never happened before), again, zero drunk-ness effect.

    Now, depending on people that anti-alcohol protection might be an advantage or drawback. I just found it interesting, so sharing here

    Edit: as one comment points out: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30019966/

    Piped/Invidious

    In the lght of recent events (gloogel complaining about uBlock) I tried to investigate other available options out there. While Piped.video definitely works, it looks like it is only fluid for popular videos, and as soon as I want to watch something a little more obscure, it is basically impossible, I have infinite wheel spinning.

    Have anyone here tried self hosting Piped/ Invidious, and could share a feedback about performance /usability ?

    Fresh water, anyone?

    The following activities:

    • Visiting a new place, making new encounters and otherwise having a memorable day
    • Kissing a girl you I never kissed before
    • yeah orgasm too

    All produce kinda the same feeling of drinking a glass of fresh, delicious water on a long, hot day

    I had this feeling so many times, and wondering how many people think the same?

    Some other clues which indicates I am not totally insane

    • in english, men are "thirsty"
    • in french, women are "fresh"
    • .. ?

    How do you call in English

    Imagine an XL table:

    _ A B X 1 2 Y 3 4

    If "A" and "B" are called "headers" what do you call "X" and "Y"?

    EDIT: thanks everyone, i ll go with "row headers" as opposed to "column headers"

    The current trend of drawn waifu/ anime porn/ child-looking-like sexualised girls is CRINGE af

    I just can't, and sadly it's worst in Linux community. Like dude's face hair makes him look 45, but no, he does a desktop with a cringy looking 15 old anime girl. (That, on top of hiz annoyingly high pitched voice but whatever) I just stop watching the video on the spot, it's beyond dumb.

    The stupid NSFW tag on Lemmy? I turned it ON to occasionally see boobs, not some drawn pictures of underage kiddo, this pisses me off so much, JUST FCKING STAHP with this shit.

    I have an impression suddenly, in a span of 2 years everyone started to jerk off on that bullshit and are proud to show it
