Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 01:23:34 JST Anime Wong @coolboymew I really liked that series. A bit too melodramatically, and the series still has a huge problem with there being too many girls (despite being told there are so few of them playing these games), but it's still leagues ahead of almost all other anime set in a video game. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 01:23:33 JST Anime Wong @coolboymew Yeah, I didn't pick it up till much later (like years). The first season of SAO was paced poorly, and the second season lost me at the start with "I'm not a girl tee hee" Kirito. It bugged me because I felt like the secondary character from that season, Shinon, really deserved to have her own story. She was interesting enough and did not need a Mary-Sue to carry her, or to hog the spotlight. This other series felt like it fixed that somewhat. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 10-Jul-2023 13:45:53 JST Anime Wong @mmmfeet That's the circular problem with them.
>White people are racist, they are only successful because of bias and prejudiced and privilege.
No, groups like Blacks under-perform because they have a lower IQs, are predisposed to crime, and general anti-communal behavior.
>You can't say that, that's racist! Things like IQ is a made up and biased metric, it does not mean anything!
Okay, then are Jews only successful because of bias and prejudiced and privilege? They are over-represented, well above any other European group, in a lot of highly influential places such as finance, law, politics, education, internet (especially social media), and...
>No, they over-perform Because they have higher IQs, are less predisposed to crime, and general pro-communal behaviors!
But I thought these things don't matter.
>They do, but only when it comes to Jews. Also Jews are not over-represented in anything. [Irish-American.jpg] -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Saturday, 08-Jul-2023 06:42:47 JST Anime Wong @Humpleupagus @DireGoy I wasn't entirely disagreeing with you, past the political part. It's perhaps political in function, but I don't think it's an overtly political act. People's feelings have been hijacked, for lack of better words. The moment they come up against some rule, they start doing a check list. "Can I think of a good reason for this rule? Does this rule hurt someone specifically? Does this rule protect someone that's not me?" If none of those pass, then the rule gets attacked from all sides.
Looking at normie politics, this is how, both a left and a right, look at gay marriage. Liberals say "love is love", it's a compassion thing. For conservatives it's "I personally don't like it, but I also don't want anyone telling me what to do, so I won't tell them what to do". Both have basically same outcome of bringing down social norms. They also do this automatically, almost without thinking. It's not in a political in this sense, but literally a virtue. The same way you might say stealing is wrong. Basically, it is itself a social norm.
I get where this comes from on the Jewish part. It's not a product of the people themselves (no one would ever willingly do this to themselves), but from outsiders detached from the well being of society as a whole. Jews may very well control the culture, to the point where we may as well say the dominant culture is Jewish, but it's also obscured to the point where most people don't realize this. They should, but they don't. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Saturday, 08-Jul-2023 04:30:04 JST Anime Wong @Humpleupagus @DireGoy As with most social issues, there are the two main dynamics at play.
The first is that they (and by they I basically mean anyone who grew up in the US, and west in general) learned to "punch up", which really means that they never learned to not be a bigot, but who you are not allowed to be a bigot against. You are not allowed to make fun of or attack Blacks on the basis of race, but Whites are fair game. It's okay to attack Christians, but not okay to attack Jews.
The other thing they learned is that it's a virtue to deconstruct social norms. Christianity is a social norm in the US, so it's fair to attack, but Judaism isn't fair since it isn't the norm. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 06-Jul-2023 06:47:56 JST Anime Wong @victor @blaaablaaaa @Eiregoat The specific law says ignoring pronouns to intimidate people. It will be applied maliciously, but will probably not favor me insisting they call me something stupid, unless you get the cops, prosecutor, and judge on your side, and there's no chance of that. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 06-Jul-2023 05:43:10 JST Anime Wong @Nou @cum_man @Alex_Fog @d0c40r0 @honkwerx @mushroom_soup Neither system is more precise than the other. The advantage of metric is that it's easy to convert units, and the powers of ten rule makes it to scale units.
But it also means that the unit scale isn't always useful for people. 'dm' 'cm' are not as useful of a scale as 'ft' 'in' are. The latter are based on human proportions, which makes it easier for us to visualize without a tool. It's why base lengths that were foot and inch like were so common around the world. 3 feet (m), 4 in (dm), and .4in (cm) are not as nice of a scale as yard, foot, inch. Metric has lots of issues like this, which is why even scientists are forced to invent non-SI units (ergs, barns, janskys, angstroms to name a few). -

I actually want to know what the story is behind terms like "super moon" and "blood moon". Someone has to be behind this stuff because it came out of nowhere. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 26-Jun-2023 06:53:06 JST Anime Wong @ArdainianRight I've not looked too much into this part of history, but I do find it odd that Europe pretty much abolished slavery within it's own borders, while they let it slide and even partook in it within it's many colonies. -

Anime Wong (elliptica@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 26-Jun-2023 06:53:04 JST Anime Wong @Leaflord @ArdainianRight I think that's the thing. The type of slavery we saw in Europe (debt slaves, indentured slaves, peasants, serfs) were significantly different from the slaves we saw in places like Brazil and to some extent North America. -

There isn't a way to know if, at least for just a moment, you are still alive, in the worst pain imaginable, paralyzed and still fully conscious. -

Are you still somewhat conscious at first? Do you have sometime to realize what's happened? Or, are you immediately knocked out. -
