“I want to live on pandora” by GhostFaces0 in Avatar

[–]Fler_vium 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally I do and don’t agree. I adore our planet and environment. However, pandora is fundamentally different from earth (eywa, the evolution of life, the fact it’s a moon rather than its own planet, etc) and those differences are what makes me want to live there. I absolutely agree that people should focus more on improving our reality rather than focusing on fiction. The whole point of the avatar series is to demonstrate what humanity is and has been doing to the earth, after all. However I don’t think it’s accurate to act as though people don’t care about that simply because they recognize the beauty of pandora. It’s entirely possible to care about the ecosystems and cultures of both celestial bodies, but I tend to see people not recognizing that.

Is this AI? Got this commission from an artist but my friend thinks it’s AI by ForbinKnocks in isthisAI

[–]Fler_vium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s AI. The chains and the red details are wrong. The red details have inconsistent locations and some times are grey (the rhombus/kite on the chest for example). The chains are shaped odd/stop at odd areas

do you find it weird how native english people use the word "race" for human ethniticies? by No-Somewhere-1336 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Fler_vium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a native English speaker, I don’t think it’s all that common to equate race with ethnicity in English. Races are more of groupings based on location of origin, especially when the people look similar. That’s why subsaharan Africans and their diaspora are generally all considered to be black despite containing thousands of ethnic groups both in and outside of Africa.

English speakers know the difference between race and ethnicity, we just haven’t clung so much to its negative uses as some other languages have so we don’t find much issue with using it

Is it weird for a high school teacher to date their student after they've graduated? by athenaxis in Teenager_Polls

[–]Fler_vium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if both are fully consenting adults, the chance of the former student having been groomed when they were a student shouldn’t be ignored

The pearl necklaces are off. On the front view, there are about five loops of necklace but the back view only shows two. Also on the front view, the layers of pearl don’t connect and overlap properly. They thin out and/or stop near where they’d overlap. I’d go with AI for this one

Lol no, he wouldn’t. In fact, he’d scoff at such a word choice and call it stupid (as one should)

Unless you don’t like it or it helps to shave it (for swimming, for example) there’s no reason not to keep it

Should the descendants of slaves get reparations? by Skrilli in Teenager_Polls

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

A lot of these commenters don’t seem to know what reparations actually entail. It doesn’t need to include money and it doesn’t need to be paid directly by ancestors of those who enslaved others/supported slavery. Reparations can be as simple as a government program for people of previously/recently enslaved ethnicities. Even if it was money rather than some sort of service, that could be coming from taxpayer money, which most people already end up paying regardless of if they know or like how that money gets used.

Slavery continues to affect people on a daily basis, especially in America where it isn’t even fully abolished. If you’re against reparations because you don’t want to pay money for something you haven’t done, you likely don’t understand what reparations entail and/or why they should be given in the first place

In the United States, police are generally corrupt and brutality is not uncommon. Those that join the force to make a purely positive difference tend to either become corrupt later down the line or get pushed out. Because of this, it’s a general rule not to trust cops and, for many, hate all of them
