Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

Open to reconsider my views in light of good-faith counter-arguments but also willing to defend what's right, even when it's unpopular. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • Have you ever dated someone? What is like?

    跳过

  • It starts by being the best feeling in the world and then you just slowly get used to it and it becomes quite mundane. Some people intrepret the honey moon period ending as the amount of love decreasing but in reality it just changes. This happens to everyone. Also, the first time is usually the best feeling one, especially in the beginning, while probably not objectively best of all the relationships you're going to have.

  • What would happen if dead leaves suddenly became the most valuable currency in the world?

    跳过

  • Immediate inflation is what would happen.

  • Taylor Swift Fans Are Leaving X for Bluesky After Trump’s Election

  • “Some of Taylor Swift Fans Are Leaving Twitter for Bluesky After Trump’s Election”

  • are there any Lemmy clients in Android that allow for filtering out posts based on key words?

    跳过

  • lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/Trump/i"))

    Put that into your adblocker custom filters. Just change the lemm.ee to lemmy.world (or what ever instance you're on)

  • "Florida is a conservative Christian state"

    跳过

  • And go where? Get off twitter and come to Lemmy to get dogpiled for not having views that perfectly align with ours. People wont get off twitter untill you offer them a better alternative.

  • If you are allowed to shop online for one last time before being banned from online shopping for 3 years, would you buy/stock up on anything?

    跳过

  • I rarely buy stuff online and when I do it's usually something I could buy locally too but I get it for cheaper from China.

  • Murdering someone is the easiest and quickest way to earn yourself a page on Wikipedia

    跳过

  • Shooting up a school is the easiest way to go from nobody to everyone talking about you the next day. Grim but true.

    If I were a dictator I'd probably make it illegal to publish the names or any other information about the shooter. Even better if media wouldn't report on the shooting at all but I feel like prohibiting that would be taking it too far.

  • What song did you love until you found out what it was about?

    跳过

  • I doubt it's a real thing that has a name. I tried asking chatGPT about it and it said it's called melodic masking / auditory masking but I didn't really find any information that matches my experience.

    It's not that I don't hear the vocals, I just struggle to register it as language. It just sounds more like yet another instrument.

  • How much of a game changer was USB-C for you, compared to other cables?

    跳过

  • No more than any other cable.

  • On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food?

    跳过

  • I like fast food. A steakhouse hamburger from Burger King is just as good, if not better than most hamburgers I've gotten from restaurants. On top of this I don't need to wait 30 minutes to get it, I don't need to deal with waiters and I can just leave when I'm done rather than wait for someone to bring a a check.

  • What specific traits or habits do people close to you recognize that would reveal an impostor trying to mimic you?

    跳过

  • Personally, I never have my radio on in the car and I near-always back into parking slots.

  • Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?

    跳过

  • If you can't make an argument for your view using your own words, then I'm not interested in going any further with this.

  • What song did you love until you found out what it was about?

    跳过

  • I don't know what the vast majority of songs I listen to are about. I have some genetic defect that makes it near impossible to hear lyrics. It all sounds like melody to me.

  • Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?

    跳过

  • questioning morals of not endorsing genocide

    That’s a somewhat skewed lens to view it through, as not everyone agrees that what we’re seeing is a genocide. I definitely don’t think it is. I’m open to hearing arguments to the contrary, but so far, everyone I’ve tried discussing it with either gets emotionally captured or doesn’t argue honestly and in good faith, so the discussion goes nowhere.

  • Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?

    跳过

  • ..is an absolute statement in itself.

  • What are your jokes for younger children?

    跳过

  • What gets louder as it gets smaller?

    A baby in a trash compactor.

  • Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?

    跳过

  • Personally, I don't see morals as entirely subjective.

    I'd say that 'worst possible misery for everyone' is objectively bad and any attempt to move away from that is better.

    How to filter out large amounts of posts

    跳过

  • If you're using browser you can add this to your adblock custom filters. Just make sure the instance matches the one you're using so incase of OP, replace lemm.ee with lemmy.world

    lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/Trump/i"))

    Now that americans elected a fascist as their leader is it ok to insult all americans?

    跳过

  • Do you apply this same logic to Gaza considering their leadership?
