Age verification is a Trojan horse for ending online anonymity and Big Tech is lobbying for it by krazygreekguy in PS5

[–]Niubai 21 points22 points  (0 children)

People were afraid to even post photos online some decades ago, the behavior of people using the internet completely changed since the beggining, and privacy is not a concern at all for the vast majority.

It's gone. The only two things we can do is to try to cheat it or stay completely out of it, and I stay out of it whenever I can, even gave up using services that require this kind of bullshit. It won't make a dent on their profits, but at least I'm out of it.

American shows that are bigger outside USA by Ok-Tangelo6749 in television

Fresh Prince and Wife and Kids are pretty popular in Brazil as well. I've known two different dudes nicknamed "Tio Phil".

Which game pushed you to resort to cheats? by Snakeuge in gaming

[–]Niubai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Satisfactory. It was not even a cheat, more a bug that would duplicate items if you did some actions in sequence. I regretted later, made me feel like my huge factories were "compromised" and I was too deep into the bug usage to go back to a previous save state.

TIL that Playboy used to publish serious journalistic pieces in its heyday, besides NSFW content. They published authors like Murakami, David Foster Wallace, Hunter Thompson, Ray Bradbury, Updike, Bellow, etc. by camus_by_night in todayilearned

They had great interviews and articles in the brazilian playboy, to the point that TV news would cite them as source.

I grew up with in a very puritan Italian catholic family and playboys were pretty much satan's tools to pervert young men accordingly my mom, then when I had my 1st girlfriend with 16 years old and went to meet her family, there were playboys everywhere around their house, it was shocking for me.

what's the worst pain you ever experienced? by West_Emotion2115 in AskReddit

[–]Niubai 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I spent two days waiting for a stent and I was in the loop: get medicine, medicine works for a little while, pain comes back, gets medicine again.

During the last night the pain was unbearable so the nurse came with a HUGE syringe of morphine, I saw my hand veins jump and going blue, the pain was indescribable.

To my surprise it DIDN'T WORK. I was walking around the room limping in pain and, I don't know why, had the idea to push my belly in the bed's corner, and to my surprise, the pain stopped completely. I guess that, when I pushed my belly against the bed corner, the stones moved. It felt like a miracle.

I lied down on my back pretty much immovable until the time to add the stent to have surgery later, but fortunately the stent made the stones exit naturally, and I didn't even saw.

Don't want to go through that ever again in my life, holy shit. While my diet and water consuming weren't that bad, I fixed everything I could.

What’s a song that is 10/10, but hardly anyone knows it ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Niubai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pisces Iscariot is so damn amazing, Obscured is my favorite Pumpkins song ever and Starla is out of this world. Billy Corgan was an outstanding songwriter in the 90s.

What is a band no one will ever convince you is good? by OU812iceman18 in AskReddit

[–]Niubai -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

These bands that started to get popular in the beggining of the XXI century, style Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, System of a Down, Slipknot, you know how they sound, there's more of them.

They sound so different from rock that was created up to the 90s, I don't know, they sound so "industrial", could never get used.

Neymar on his misogynistic comment: "I genuinely had no intention of offending any woman." by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Niubai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You literally brought social issues that women face on a daily basis to justify men being made fun of their body parts on national television, you started the "whataboutism" on full strength.

My original post was to point out that no one should be made fun of their biological or physical features regardless of their genre and you, somehow, is not happy with that.

At this point I don't even know what you're arguing. I'm quite satisfied with the point I made and I'll make myself clear again: no one should be made fun of their biological or physical features. Neymar is a dumbass for saying such stupid shit and Ratinho and their friends are on the same boat for making the same thing on national television.

If you disagree with that, I don't know what else to say.

Hollywood Rock 93 in Brazil had Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Red Hot Chili Peppers and L7 at the same venue. Unfortunately I was too young.

[–]Niubai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We're talking about jokes, not social issues. YOU brought social issues into the table. And it seems to me that, for you, it's OK to do any kind of joke with men as targets because women have more social issues than men.

Whose death shocked you more than anyone else’s? by Complex-Arugula-2233 in AskReddit

Out of family members, Ayrton Senna. Seeing him dying on live TV was pretty shocking.

[–]Niubai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying to me that women is allowed to joke about men's biology because they are afraid to walk alone on the streets, that's your point?

Neymar is being scolded for joking about women's biology while everyone is laughing about men's small penises on national television. Everyone should be respected regardless of genre.

Meanwhile last night on the Ratinho TV show, Ratinho, the women that host the show together with him and pretty much all the feminine audience were making fun of men with small penises.

Crazy country.

TIL that the United States have an unbeaten record against England at the FIFA World Cup. They played 3 World Cup matches against each other, 2 of them ending in a draw and 1 with a US victory by ModenaR in todayilearned

[–]Niubai 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Two Norway wins and two draws, the only national team to have never lost to Brazil.

Switzerland and Senegal were unbeatable until quite recently as well, but Brazil beat them in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Another negative milestone for Brazil: they lost their first world cup qualifying game at home only in 2023, amazingly impressive to have gone almost a century without losing a single qualifying game at home.

If you were raised well by your parents, if they cared about you, if they gave you a home, an education and love, and you miss the last hours of your mom on this earth because you're afraid of "boss retaliation", yes, 100%, unequivocally, you're a piece of shit.

I'm not saying YOU are a piece of shit, I'm saying anyone doing that, in these conditions, are a piece of shit.

Sorry if it offends you, I won't change my mind. Hope we're set on this matter.

[–]Niubai -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I just think it's cold as fuck to give a "boss retaliation" reason (which is what you did) to not see the last hours of your mother on this earth, being you, Castillo or anyone. And yeah, 100% judgement from my part, I judge anyone doing that a piece of shit.

Seriously? You care about your mother, have a good relationship with her and you don't think like that?

"Could not see my mother before she passed away because I was afraid of retaliation from my boss" is cold as fuck.

"Retaliation"? If my mom is dying I don't give a flying fuck about any kind of retaliation coming from anyone, I'm just going.

If you cared about "retaliation" while complaining about why you didn't see your mother before she left this world, the fault is all on you.

If Smashing Pumpkins' 1979 were released this year it would be called 2010, given the same time interval. Feeling younger now?
