  • Whats the dumbest thing youve ever heard?

  • He is also anti-vax, and allergic to Wifi and Bluetooth… except when he is in our house filled with Wifi and Bluetooth (but we have never told him, he could die!)

    A relative of my husband always requests we turn off the router, because she's allergic to 5g. She starts feeling nauseous and itchy when it's turned on. We used to sigh and just do it.

    However, I've found out she's not actually allergic to 5g or wifi, it turns out she's actually developed a reaction to the power light. Ever since I put a tiny bit of tape of the little green power light, she stopped complaining about the wifi entirely! My husband won't let me tell her about this amazing medical breakthrough though, I wonder why.

  • I had a similar talk with a guy in his 30's, who said that books didn't have nearly enough information density for his hyper intelligent super brain. "It's ok, if you're a slow reader, you can fix that with practice!" was apparently not the answer he wanted to hear.

  • I asked about a certain type of cake that was on sale and wasn't in stock. I asked when it would be in stock. The manager launched into a big complaint, because they always sold out when it was on sale. See, he only ever ordered 10, because they never sold more than 10, and when it was on sale, they would sell out immediately.

    He got very upset, calling me stupid when I said "If you only have 10, it would be pretty hard to sell more than 10".

  • They absolutely exist in towns. If you go outside the more urban areas you'll spot some.

  • No, it's literally a sign in English saying "no foreigners", or the slightly less confrontational "members only". Those are usually the only sign in english.

  • They're less tall than the slab though, so either they were pushed into it from the top, after pouring, or it was cut and then filled with these things.

    Edit: they were pushed in before hardening, you can see the seam on the side, you couldn't get that any other way

  • Plastic, especially non UV resistant plastic, seems like a terrible material for an expansion joint. It also looks very short.

  • with the current format of the meme no combination of words exists for them to compare and contrast humans to animals, other than "females."

    Thats... Incredibly superficial and shows zero cultural awareness.

    One half of the meme is an abortion rights campaign phrase, which is a badly needed campaign because women don't have that right in many places around the world. And it's majorly opposed by conservative men. Those same men also use the term "females" to refer to women in a derogatory way.

    only when you get to the end of the text do you realise it exists for 1 messaging purpose

    This is ALSO a very common method for that exact same group to pretend their misogynist messaging is covered up when pointed out. They go "it's not about dehumanizing women, it's about veganism bro!" Or "that's not the point, you're digging too deep, keep being triggered lol".

    This is a common method to dogwhistle their in-group.

    they could have, I suppose, opened with a woman saying "I'm sure glad I'm not artificially inseminated every nine months so milk can be harvested from my body!" Then cut to a picture of a cow in the second panel. It's essentially the same thing.

    It's the same surface level message. But using their misogynist worldview to carry the surface level message ALSO reinforces that worldview.

    The more you also support that framework, the more the framework is normalized. The more the framework is normalized, the easier it becomes to dehumanize and degrade women.

    And arguing about it in bad faith, which they have to, is also what happens a lot. Because when someone points out a dogwhistle, it becomes less effective.

    Everything is malformed messaging to increase it's viral-spread quality.

    Exactly. But the viral load isn't on the surface. Using a framework to convey normal information supports that framework. The framework is the point, the surface information is a cover.

    And using the surface info that appeals to "the enemy" is doubly effective, because it makes your enemy look deranged, scoring you a double win.

  • Cows aren't people ... Duh ... So that justifies the described actions?

    Potentially correct. As we teach all 3 year olds, different things can go into different groups.

  • This only makes the point better, because there are in fact uses of "death stars", but it's very specific and not at all related to anything it's currently in.

  • Yeah, but in WC3, especially in multiplayer, it was a super hard requirement. 80% of your time would be hero micro

    Don't you know, every item comes with a little laminated card to give you some mostly-irrelevant quote!

  • I hate the RTS+hero game in all its forms. It started with WC3, but so many are doing it now.

    But I love RTS, and I quite enjoy moba-like games. It's just that I absolutely fucking hate the community.
