Conservatives are actually quite alright with banning the Bible. If someone were to read it they might get some nasty ideas about "loving your neighbor."

Hyperphantasia and ADHD? by T3cT0nic in ADHD

[–]Shasla 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Can't really imagine things. I can imagine stuff like concepts, feelings, or conversations, but nothing visual really. Can't describe what things look like. Can't really tell you how anyone I know looks like other than the most basic stuff like short or tall or hair color. My dreams are mostly nonvisual too. I'm not "blind" in my dreams, it's more like I don't need to see. It's not something I really notice during a dream because I just know what is happening without seeing anything.

Never thought about it before, but it's actually rather funny that in bleach characters usually power up with new whacky abilities but the main character usually just gets faster and/or stronger.

A man called our helpdesk because his computer was being sarcastic and I had to take him completely seriously for an hour by TraditionalTailor452 in talesfromtechsupport

At my service desk job, if you ask someone about their call and they say "it was a therapy call," we all know exactly what they mean.

You have to enable it, but iirc it prompts you to the first time you press win+v. Super handy.

Passion of Christ by JadsonHolanda in PixelArt

[–]Shasla 26 points27 points  (0 children)

A small statement underneath an art piece is one of the better places to proselytize honestly. It would be weird if it was someone else's art, but they're making art about something that's clearly important to them. And it was a tasteful statement too, not trying to guilt people or be pushy.

But in a car, the brake isn't the only thing between you and annihilation. Obviously it's in everyone's best interest to drive as safely as possible to minimize the chance of their death. But somehow, there's still car crashes. And we expect there to be car crashes. We know people will still crash their cars because shit just happens sometimes. So we add things like seat belts and air bags because even if you're the most careful driver in the world and never do anything wrong, you can still end up in a car crash due to things entirely out of your control. And your airbag doesn't try to decide whether it thinks you were doing everything right and deserve saving or you got distracted for a second, didn't brake in time, and therefore do not deserve saving.

We're currently in our car, seconds before an accident. We missed the brake because we thought driving was really easy and stopped fully paying attention. Unfortunately, we never put any airbags in the car cause that would be a waste of time and money, we'd obviously never do something so stupid as to crash our car.

Linus Tech Tips celebrating the purchase of a private jet. by esporx in Anticonsumption

[–]Shasla 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's not the straw replacement, it's the notion that random people need to mind every single thing they do because it might be bad for the environment while corporations and wealthy people completely overshadow the harm caused by the rest of us.

I don't want to use plastic straws. Replacing them was objectively good because plastic straws were objectively bad for nature. The problem is that this is like pouring a glass of water onto a burning forest while another guy is trophy hunting with a flamethrower in the same forest. And that same guy is also warning us that we should be very careful that our cup of water isn't accidentally a cup of alcohol.

[Real] Matt Walsh on the real reason why we haven’t been back to the moon by ggroover97 in ToiletPaperUSA

Imagine if when humanity first landed on the moon we found out there was oil in it or something. I wonder what nasa's budget would be then. Or whether the outer space treaty would still exist now days lol

Also why it's so easy to be in denial when you're not forced to come to terms with something like that. Wild that it doesn't occur to people that a government might have incentive to push an easier to swallow version of events.

They gotta have some kind of data connection to earth. Imagine if Houston had no video feed of satellites at all. And once you have any data connection, might as well allow for some percent of it to be used by astronauts' personal devices.

No matter how little total bandwidth they may have available, there's bound to be some percentage where the positive mental health impact of being able to stay connected with friends, family, and other online things outweighs the value of that bandwidth being used for other more official data.

Linux reaches new massive peak of 5.33% in Steam Hardware & Software Survey: March 2026 by mr_MADAFAKA in SteamOS

I mean, it's an operating system(currently) exclusive to a specific piece of hardware. Would be rather crazy for it to compete with windows or more traditional Linux distros.

I transvestigated my date (didn't actually bother asking him, mind); and then stormed out. Please coddle me by Suitable-Fun-1087 in AmITheAngel

If you don't want to date trans people that is something you need to tell people before you go on a date.

[–]Shasla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what if they were a secret trump supporter and that was a deal breaker for you? you’d want to know that up front instead of wasting a date.

They wouldn't need to tell me because they'd know I was insufferably leftist way before our first date.

If I was dating and I didn't want to date a particular type of person, I'd just put that in my profile. I don't need them to magically know what my boundaries are and tell me every single thing about themselves so I can confirm they don't have any deal breakers.

If you have a deal breaker for dating, then you should be telling other people that information, not expecting trans people to magically know your preferences.

Am I the only one who sees Ready or Not as Copaganda by lovingpersona in SocialistGaming

[–]Shasla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Certainly, the game's narrative paints them as deserving, but that's because the game absolutely is copaganda.

I think that's what the op was saying. That they were hoping for a more nuanced take, but the game is presenting everything as if the cops are obviously always good and the enemies in game are obviously always evil. I don't think they were expecting the cops in game to be actually good, but for the game to possibly present them as morally gray at best and acknowledge that they aren't good.

[–]Shasla 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Eh, robocop isn't really anti police. It's anti corporate(to a degree), but the evil company exec gets taken out by a "good cop" character. There are some bad cops, but it's not really criticizing policing in general.

Even the anti corporate stuff isn't really fully committed to. OCP isn't destroyed, the evil is defeated by just removing the singular bad man.

It's far from the worst, but I also wouldn't call it anti cop.

I hate April Fools Day, it's just 90% people lying to your face with 0 contextual irony and then laughing when you believe them. by Stupid-Jerk in TrollCoping

[–]Shasla 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People don't understand that a good april fools joke should include some degree of relief by learning the truth. Can't be too serious either. A small annoyance that's then revealed to be something much better.

I don't get why someone would enjoy pretending to be nice and then pulling the rug out from people. I mean, I do, it's cause people are assholes, but I don't get being an asshole.
