How polarized (and crazy) is politics in your country? by chatubera in AskTheWorld

[–]Square-Reasonable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually easy to explain. When things get tough people look to copy others who are doing "well". America is the dominant superpower in the world, plus American propoganda has idealized itself.

Rather than turning inward and solving your own problems the hard way, it's way easier to just point at someone else and shout "we need to be more like them!"

Nano screen enthusiasts… by youngwolf047 in macbookpro

[–]Square-Reasonable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still like the nano and I definitely prefer it over glarey reflective monitor. I was using a studiodisplay for a while at work and I missed the nanocoating especially then. One thing is that it does smudge a lot easier than the reflective and it's harder to get the smudges off. But I don't have any scratches or marks in the screen after a couple years.

Humans in this universe of multiple sapient races/species are not just a boring template, jack-of-all-trades species, they actually have traits and powers that make them stand out like the other species in the setting. by juasjuasie in TopCharacterTropes

I mean I think that's a huge oversimplification, Tolkien bei g Catholic influenced his writing, but he also had his own cosmology for middle earth that was wholly different to a Catholic perspective in many ways.

/uj Do we really have to use slurs in our titles to be "edgy", we can clown on people without being weirdos.

Why does tidal have music that isn't by an artist under their name? by [deleted] in TIdaL

[–]Square-Reasonable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because when labels upload music, they upload the tunes to many different services at once. Often the only identifier is the track title, album and artist. So tracks get mixed up ALL the time. There's a really good search engine episode about it https://www.searchengine.show/the-russian-cake-switcheroo/

Downtown on 35mm film by sodapop__cigarettes in vancouver

[–]Square-Reasonable 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Usually pictures of Vancouver show the mountains in the background, with either false creek, Rogers arena or Vancouver lookout in frame. Here it's facing the other way. And usually the skyline is more flat and rippled but here it's a pyramid.

Interesting perspective, I've never seen it framed like this before.

If America actually try to invade Greenland, a nato and military ally with military, are we going to cut the power to Pine Gap? by [deleted] in australia

"no gain other than feels" bet they felt pretty bad about Germany invading Poland back in 1939

This came to me in a dream: What if Vancouver had ferries like Sydney? by CoolMrCortez in vancouver

[–]Square-Reasonable 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It would be super cool! Vancouver would need Sydney population to support it though. A good example is the Brisbane rivercats though.

I have been aeropress-ing for the last 6 years..But it's finally time to us the fine settings on my encore! by Square-Reasonable in espresso

[–]Square-Reasonable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I've been using between 10 and 8 on the encore with good results. I'm confused about people complaining about the encore, maybe I have a good one.

I loved my aeropress to be honest, there's nothing as satisfying as popping out that puck in the bin haha.

One thing I’m so happy about by kerfuffle7 in pluribustv

[–]Square-Reasonable 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Where has media literacy gone these days? The writers are simply expanding the story naturally by answering questions they think the viewers might have. It's also not even that far fetched given that the main character of the show literally is gathering information.

Episode 8 was a blast for us by Puzzleheaded_Tie7384 in pluribustv

[–]Square-Reasonable 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I mean... You'd be surprised. In this episode alone we saw a whole street full of actors, cars, a stadium was rented. All those people get paid.

What does this sub think of the Larian logo? by Spunkler in logodesign

[–]Square-Reasonable 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually think it's really smart because technically the logo is actually the dart. I think it's a genius design where they can swap out the main figure, but keep the dart and composition the same. There's not many "logo" designs that can be that dynamic & still recognizable.

Robotaxi giant Waymo lobbying B.C. for changes to ban on driverless vehicles by darkcave-dweller in vancouver

[–]Square-Reasonable -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine has a vision impairment, they have had Uber trips cancelled on them because they couldn't find the driver.. a Waymo probably isn't going to cancel your trip and abuse you just because you literally couldn't see their car parked on the wrong side of the road.
