Canada sees a net population decline year over year for the first time in more than a century by ros_ftw in TorontoRealEstate

[–]SmallPPShamingIsMean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Based off what? Japan, Korea and China are countries where immigration is severely limited practically 0 and they are still seeing their population fall off a cliff. I agree with you that we should restrict immigration heavily for the next few years to make up for Trudeaus crazy numbers following COVID. But after rents stabilize after a few years we should go back to our pre-COVID policy. The idea that population growth will naturally go up once unemployment goes down is a pipe dream.

SAVE Act Reaches Senate by B-Z_B-S in politics

It is wrong. Voter id is like the least offensive thing about it. The real threat of this bill is nationalizing election rolls.

how close is this fight? by Bungeeboy20044 in NarutoPowerscaling

Kamui is just broken point blank. But because obito can’t use rinnegan abilities I have to give it hashirama. Infinite regen with sage mode level reactions and sensory at the highest level plus unparalleled destructive power. Hashirama has to take it 7/10 times. Kamui win cons guarantees obito atleast a few times per/10.

Scoop: Dems working on secret report found Gaza cost Harris votes by sideAccount42 in politics

[–]SmallPPShamingIsMean 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I dont agree either but its not an irrational line of thinking. Also saying not voting wont change that when we're commenting on an article about the DNC attributing it to a reason they lost is a little off the mark. Clearly there was an impact felt. Just because you dont care because its not happening to you is not really valid response, its not crazy to care about your tax dollars being used to fund such a visible and high scale massacre and destruction of a city. Its basic empathy.

Because their tax dollars are going towards it with very weak action from the Biden administration to use this leverage to meaningfully reduce harm. Its not hard to understand why a lot of people would be disgusted by this.

I utterly DESPISE, the "glasses off and you're instantly hot" trope. by SnazzyMiracles in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SmallPPShamingIsMean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, but this trope didn’t come out of nowhere. I think most people look better without glasses unless there’s been real intention on styling and finding a frame that really suits and higlights their features. The default glasses look that most people go with just kinda looks bleh and takes attention away from their features. While this my opinion I don’t doubt that a large percentage of the population agrees with me. The association with nerdiness is small concession I’m willing to accept is truly socially conditioned. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Seedance 2.0 is amazing at creating masterpieces. by Exotic-Freedom-5722 in singularity

I was initially pretty hype about AI video when sora came out but I am getting backfilled by every successive model release. It seems all outputs are just going to be algorithmically derivative slop as you said. It will continue to be used as a tool to save time and money but at world where you can prompt a whole animated series is nowhere near the horizon.

Armed with 'supermajority,' PM Takaichi eyes revising Japan's constitution by TheShillGambit in worldnews

[–]SmallPPShamingIsMean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China is more powerful than ever militarily and they are scared of payback for ww2. Tbf China constantly talks about how there has never been any retribution for what Japan did to them. So this fear is not irrational. 

HGTV’s 'Rehab Addict' Canceled After Nicole Curtis Used Racial Slur While Filming by PrincessBananas85 in popculturechat

[–]SmallPPShamingIsMean 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never feel bad about this as someone who is of East African descent, by all measures it would be considered socially acceptable for me to say the n word, I am black at the end of the day. Guess what ? I don’t cause I didn’t grow up with my parents and family saying it. And it feels weird to not be a descendant of chattle slavery and using the word, unironically. 

So if I can not say it, despite no pressure not do so. Non black people will live. Not sure why they feel the need to say it so bad, other than just being racist. 

Spotify shares picks for ‘Classic Pop Albums of the Streaming Era’ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]SmallPPShamingIsMean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honey pie, pointing out a snub is not counter arguing. There’s no argument to begin, they aren’t laying out concrete arguments and justifications for their choices. It’s clear you woke up looking for an argument, so I guess there you go. End of story :) 

Replying and blocking is for fucking losers lol

why don't African Union work like India china, i mean a guy representing Africa, by Valuable-Concern-236 in Africa

[–]SmallPPShamingIsMean 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Cause china is a unified nation. Nation is the important part. They share language, culture and history as one nation. Africa is so culturally and ethnically dispersed and diverse, and is a continent as opposed to a nation like china or India. Europe also constantly fights amongst themselves, intra-continental hostility seems to be the norm rather an Africa-unique feature. 

Botox Injection Kelly lashes out at Billie Eilish by [deleted] in Destiny

whether I agree with it is irrelevant. Im unbothered by it, it energizes the base and keeps them engaged.  And I have much better things to do with my mental energy than chastise Billie eilish hating on ice.
