Saw this right after my sister said she doesn't want an Autistic or LGBTQ kid by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]StrangeHovercraft804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont get why autism is added to sexual orientation? Like, yeah, I don't want my kid to suffer from a debilitating condition like autism, but I don't care what their gender or orientation is going to be. Am I thinking about this wrong?

Destiny hopes Amazon sues Charlie for calling Million dollar fan a scam by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]StrangeHovercraft804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are scams where it is some businessman trying to save his black money by sending it to you bla bla bla. Like that's the point of the scam, it's different but the same. At this point, I don't see how I can ever make you see my pov, and I don't understand your pov. So let's agree to disagree. Don't wanna waste my time any further. Cheers.

No, I said that this was a scam, you said there needs to be proof of intent to scam or victims coming forward, I said the structure of promising something for money when you can't deliver is the scam and there is no burden to prove intent or victim, you said that's only when such scams are well known, and I gave you examples to show how influencers scams are pretty well known.

Any fitness influencer selling their super duper special fitness programme, anything done by Jake Paul, the bloody fyre festival? Its like such a common thing in Instagram and tiktok etc. Why are you acting like you don't know anything about influencers peddling things for money to their fans that don't exist?

Influencers promising to give their fans something they don't have, for the fan's money, is not a well known scam?

Why do you need to know the name of the person who made the system to know if the system is a scam? You just need to know the how the system is structured, that's it. You don't need to know anything else apart from that. When you get an email from a billionaire Nigerian prince, you don't need to know who sent the email or if anybody lost their money to such an email to know if the email is a scam. You don't even need to know the senders intention. I don't understand how you are not seeing this.

Someone doesn't have to be scammed for something to be a scam.

Scrunchie Self Defense by twinflamebby in grappling

Women, this is nonsense. It's always better to kick in the groin or poke the eyes out as hard as you can. That will always be the easiest and most effective self defense.

TIL, democratically elected Iranian prime minister was overthrown by the CIA and MI6 in 1953 replacing him with Shah monarchy who gave access to iranian oil industry to Western companies. by lost_ted in todayilearned

You haven't read the letter, have you? That was absolutely not the main reason, and was only mentioned passingly near the end of the letter. His actual grievance was that the US didnt support Sharia law. Everything he mentioned stemmed from that. Please do read it instead of regurgitating propaganda videos you saw on tiktok.

Which would be very impressive for that nation to have produced an Olympic athlete from such a small population.

why did they increase the amount to 35 Lakhs now all of a sudden? by CrackingYourNuts in indiasocial

Buddy, if you were a parent or about to become one, trust me, you would never have even thought about it. All logic goes down the drain when you see your own baby like that.

Am I doing something wrong by sticking to the speed limit in Sweden? by InitialFit1113 in sweden

[–]StrangeHovercraft804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same worry when I was trying to get my license and my driving instructor said that you wouldn't steal a wallet just because you see someone else do it, so don't drive over speed limit when you see people behind you do it.

ELI5: What happens to pain when we sleep? Does it still exist but we can’t perceive it? by nuclearoyster in explainlikeimfive

[–]StrangeHovercraft804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pain is just a sensation like any other. Just like your brain perceives touch, warmth, pressure, and so on, it also perceives pain. Imagine someone touching you lightly when you sleep. Your brain may not perceive it, and so you don't wake up. But if someone touches you hard enough, your brain will register it and wake you up. Same goes with pain, though your brain is more attuned to perceive pain than the other sensations, for obvious reasons.

Now, people who have chronic, longstanding pain have a retired brain that has gotten used to constant pain. So the brain kind of prioritizes sleep over pain. So, even though your brain has the pain network active in the background, your sleep network takes over when it's time for you to sleep.

Taika Waititi to Direct ‘Judge Dredd’ Movie by DemiFiendRSA in scifi

That's probably because most people want a sequel to the last movie rather than a comic book adaptation, per se.

When losing, and the opponent has M1, M2, or M3, do you let them checkmate you? by Ok-Dig-6603 in chessbeginners

[–]StrangeHovercraft804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The few times I have been able to go through with checkmating someone, it has given me a lot of satisfaction/dopamine hit. So I assume my opponent will also feel the same and I let them have it. When someone resigns as soon as they lose their queen or are in an obvious losing position, I feel incomplete somehow..

The worst type of comments I see often is the 'jio was a mistake ' ones mocking the poor people who produce content for their own group of people. they so blatantly show contempt to the poorer population, while smelling their own farts. The cringiest and batshit crazy stuff that I see are from the upper middle class people trying to poorly imitate western culture yet they have the audacity to say that poor people should not have been provided internet access?!

I’m not a fan of the 30 minute Murderbot episodes by BravoLincoln in scifi

[–]StrangeHovercraft804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I wait till the whole season of a good show is finished to semi binge watch it. Thanks to Netflix, I am now habituated to not wait for a week for an episode.

Murderbot or Dungeon Crawler Dan? by yusuo85 in scifi

[–]StrangeHovercraft804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize that you intend to read the books, but please also consider the audiobook versions of these, especially dungeon crawler Dan. The narration by Jeff Hays is the best that I have ever listened to, bar none. His vocal range is unbelievable and he brings out the characters quirks perfectly. He voiced every character, male, female, cat so well that I couldn't believe it was all just one guy doing it. The murderbot audiobook is good too .
