Not sure this chart is totally accurate on Russia, 88% of people have basic access to sanitation (obviously not the same thing as structures with private toilets, but I could not find that), and male life expectancy is 72 years.
@mikuphile@LittleTom I actually can't stand it when a random black character shows up in an anime, especially one where there previously weren't any. Mushoku Tensei randomly has one, making the show unwatchable. Kind of like how Dr. Stone randomly got some tranny character out of nowhere. So fucking stupid.
@LittleTom@mikuphile I know what you mean. At least with Komi, we knew he was a boy wearing girls clothing. He didn't pretend to be anything past that either. We also knew he was a chronic liar, so, at some level, I can see how this situation started. I'm also not surprised that most Japanese students didn't notice him. I didn't like him, but I understood him in the setting.
Dr. Stone was obnoxious because he-she was naked, and they "couldn't tell". Then they did this whole "I don't care one millimeter if it's a boy or a girl" crap. But the show is beyond stupid at this point, so I was probably going to drop it anyway.
@Twoinchdestroya@EdBoatConnoisseur@Owl@WashedOutGundamPilot That's what I want to say, but I've also seen in person, many "toxic" (I'll use their own word against them) women who, at parties or meetups, freakout over even the slightest flirtations. I think that catches some men off guard, and they don't know how to handle it.
@EdBoatConnoisseur@Owl@WashedOutGundamPilot I am well aware that men are in a weird spot where they are not supposed to ever approach a woman they are interested in almost any circumstance, and that dating websites are wildly stacked against them, but at the same time women still act like men should make the first move. But I also think that this can't apply to all men.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@teknomunk I've not bought a new prebuilt windows computer in a while, but I wouldn't be surprised if most of them came with chrome installed these days, and I bet most people who use chrome do so because they think chrome IS google.
And actually, does this chart count phones as well? If so, then I'm not surprised that chrome would be so high.
@boeswilligkeit@Terry Yeah, I really want to make one. I wonder if someone could use Chat GPT to train another AI, and then use poast to train it to be racist.
@Terry The shitty thing about this is, it knows, it does not want you to know. You have to trick it into sharing, meaning the only way it will tell you is if you already know.
@deprecated_ii@mona@skylar@bronze People also seems to ignore the solar cycle. The sun has a 11ish year cycle where it's brightness changes slightly, as well as changes in solar storm activity (and we're in a solar maximum phase right now). However, there have also been period, including a 100 year stretch in the 1650-1750, as well as a longer one during the time of Homer, where the sun had massive drops in solar activity. Climate science basically rejects that this phenomenon has any impact on the climate, but I don't feel that their reasoning is justified, especially since the Homeric Minimum is pretty much known to have had an impact.
The climate problem, as I see it described, is this: We dig gasses that were trapped underground and introduce it to the atmosphere. This, over time, will slowly change the composition of the atmosphere and how it retains heat.
This all sounds very reasonable to me. However, a problem that I do have actually comes from Volcanoes. Volcanoes do the same thing as humans, and as far as I know, have been emitting huge amounts gasses for 4.5 billion years. This isn't a question about the amount of gases volcanoes produce as compared to humans, but a question of duration. Plants don't remove things like carbon from the atmosphere, they temporarily trap it, but once they die, it's released again. It can get trapped in a cycle of capture and release by trees and plants, but unless we have more plants now than 100 million years ago to maintain some sort of steady state, the greenhouse effect must also be getting worse over time.
My problem is, why are climate scientists so convinced that this does not contribute to the problem at all. The conditions seem exactly the same.
Edit: I guess I left out this, the mechanism that can reduce carbon over time are plants getting trapped in the soil, and turned into coal and oil. But, I'm not sure about the rate that this occurs at. The impression I had is that most plants don't go through this, so probably not enough to offset the balance overtime.
@PraxisOfEvil I just don't understand how anyone can get into a mindset where they enjoy almost anything these days, except on technicalities or by literally willing themselves to think like it.
@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.
@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.
On an unrealted note, shitlibs and kangs are obsessed with Yauske. Here's the story of the bad ass Black Samurai:
Yauske was a Portuguese slave bought by Oda Nobunaga (yes, that Nobunaga) as a sort of novelty. He made him a weapon bearer, and so people claim he was a retainer/samurai. This, automatically means he was a skilled swordsman to them. Also he was a commander, general, and whatever else. Any battle he was tangentially related to, he totally led.
Anyway, he stayed by Nobunaga's side for a year, during which point they gradually became friends, partners, brothers in arms, and gay lovers.
But it wasn't meant to last. After a year, right at the height of Nobunaga's power, his dream to conquer Japan within his grasp, Mitsuhide betrays him over something really petty (Nobunaga basically killed his mom). Nobunaga, barricaded inside the Honno Ji temple, goes full Hitler-mode and commits suicide, then asks that his body be burned to prevent it from being paraded. Honno Ji is made of wood, so the entire place catches fire like a gender reveal party at the same time he does. Everyone inside dies... Everyone... except Yauske.
See, Yauske used his nindo, his ninja way, to magically teleport away from his bff's side, outside of the temple, and away from Mitsuhide's army that had surrounded the temple. Somehow, he even reached Nobunaga's son, Nobutada. Nobutada kills himself soon after when his army's defeat is also imminent.
But again he still wasn't killed. Captured by Mitsuhide, Yauske is let go (probably because he wasn't a threat to Mitsuhide's political ambitions) and then stumbles back to the Portuguese. But some also say he kept roaming Japan as a master-less samurai, practicing the blade while you were debating the holocaust on discord. We don't really know, because no one bothered to write it all down.
So clearly, all of this happened. All of this is true. If any part of this makes no sense to you, then you are an idiot.
