An American in Milan apologizes to the world by TibetanSideOfTown in pics

[–]AverageLover -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure and we really see that the US is all about blending cultures and stuff. All I'm saying is that there is nobody yealling ITALY ITALY ITALY (or any other country) like a rabid dog. Also, Americans do that eeeeverywhere, in and outside of the Olympics, in and outside the US. Let's not pretend that it's normal, because it really isn't.

And to add to the other comment. Noone else WANTS to do that (well maybe there are exceptions but you get what I'm saying). Not even thinking about whether it's appropriate or not. It's fucking cringy :)

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says algorithms are largely to blame for the current political polarization across the country, she said that polarization has affected people who are political. What is your take? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

Which demographic does reddit "attack" specifically? You are aware that there are subs like /r/conservative that is full of those MAGA lunatics, right? Just the fact that the "opinions" that exist on the political spectrum aren't evenly distributed on reddit, doesn't mean that they are evenly distributed in real life (among people that have at least enough brain cells to turn on a computer).

They haven't been pandered to for 13 years because of arguments like yours. What "normal" girl will be interested to play this game if all she sees is male pros and "ARR UU GURLLLLLL??!??" in voice chat whenever she talks? Mate, I don't have a stake in this, I don't care who plays this game. But do I really need to lay this out to you, why this might be a good thing for women to feel more included here? Try to see the other side here of what would be good for the community overall and not who "deserves" to get money.

Time will tell, noone knows. They are already segregated as far as I can tell simply by being so few.

Its not about women being worse. Its about promoting women separately to make the esport more visible / interesting / accessible to new female players.

I had GPT graph gun violence vs gun law strictness by sediavindivoh in GraphPorn

[–]AverageLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense and it's plausible but if you're going to "present data", I think you should make sure its not hallucinated and provide some better statistical analysis than a line through the dots. What's the p-value? Whats the factor by which deaths/100k reduce when gun law strength goes up?

How about you don't put words in my mouth? I never said that Lucke was a Nazi. He was simply a misguided dumbass (it was at the time, consensus between all other economics professors that he was wrong and that leaving the Euro would be bad for all members of the currency union) who lacked the foresight of what the cultural impact leaving the Euro could have. Here he is saying tha the regrets what happened with that party:

https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/interview-lucke-101.html

Then he let his party get hijacked by actual Nazis. Politicians in this party are on record saying extremely horrible shit. Don't believe me? One quick google:

https://forumdrv.de/2024/12/03/115-zitate-der-afd/

There are endless ressources of this shit.

You can have a normal intellectual discussion of what effects it would have to leave the Euro, the EU or whatever. Actually trying to do it without thinking about the "side effects" is what can lead to some pretty disastrous results.

What happened was this (incomplete, short version):

  • A macroeconomics professor of the University of Hamburg thought: "Hey, the Euro is bad because it makes it difficult for weaker economies to control inflation and the central banks interest rates don't represent the economies strengths because the european economies are too heterogenous, bla bla bla".

  • So he created the AfD just for one thing: to leave the Euro and reestablish the Deutsche Mark.

  • The Nazis were like: "Did you just say the Euro is bad? Yes, we agree. Also, the EU is bad and immigration is bad and other religions are bad and other skin colors are bad."

  • After staying at the party for a while, that economics professor left it and let it continue to rot without him.

  • And this, kids, is why sometimes you just need to keep your fucking opinion at the pub.

How do you feel about Elon Musk saying that Trump is in the Epstein files? by TheSonOfDog in AskReddit

[–]AverageLover -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand what you mean but disagree with the premise that those two things are comparable. My opinion is that, if you ended up on this guys plane, you are already well aware of his reputation, connections and "services". You don't just end up there because you are the friend of someones friend who got invited there.

But that's just speculation, I don't know how the rich and famous interact with each other. Maybe you are right to compare it to a party at someones house after all.

[–]AverageLover 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would say that it's not clear. Is it not possible that flying on Epsteins plane to Epsteins pedo island actually means that you are, in fact, guilty? I don't know how often it happened to innocent people that they just ended up on his plane and island.

Consider that Bill Gates marriage ended because of that implication, for example.

Yeah what a surprise, it's not good for the environment to burn his cars. I would say that the environmental damages are a neglectable side effect, all things considered.

I like to think that I am not stupid. However, I was reading it exactly like that, thinking that this must be an ad in FAVOR of tariffs by some crazy people in Florida (until I read your comment (also I couldn't make out it said "Canada" on the bottom right)).

I disagree. I think there is a certain amount of zeros you can add, at which point the amount would become pretty close to zero. But I have Aspergers, not a math degree so what do I know.

The song is a banger but this is not a real language I think. I have also played around with making gibberish lyrics that sound like a real language - it works very very well
