  • Are Brita filters bullshit?

    Jump

  • I dunno about brita specifically, but my walmart water filter has served me well throughout the years.

    Back when I moved in to a friend's house and started drinking his tap water, I would get sick all the time. I knew it was the water, I could feel it. Every time I drank it, it tasted weird, metallic, and I could tell I was poisoning myself.

    Ever since I started filtering it, I stopped getting sick. Haven't looked back and have been drinking walmart-filtered tap water ever since.

    Haven't been sick in years, either.

  • What's something incredibly useful you can buy for roughly £100 or less?

    Jump

  • Food.

    That's honestly all my money goes towards these days.

    And utilities.

  • It's really just preference.

    What you really should be looking for are "circumaural" headphones. These are headphones that cover your entire ear.

    Whether you get open-back or closed-back is entirely up to you. Don't let anyone convince you that one is strictly superior to the other.

    They both have their benefits and detriments.

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • Black Lives Matter is a fine name for what it supports.

    I didn't study the etymology of feminism, but in practice it has always resulted in fighting for women's rights while ignoring or paying lip-service to men's rights.

    There's no feminist platform that advocates for removing men from the draft or including women in it, for example. I don't believe that the differences between men and women, especially today, are great enough to give any preference to one sex over the other. Most of us are suffering because we are poor.

    From my experience, feminists will say feminism is about equality to fool people who don't know any better into supporting a cause that is practically about female superiority. They believe it's woman's turn to be the oppressors and to them that is 'fair.'

    This is exemplified by how it's socially acceptable (even encouraged) to make disparaging comments about men, but making similar comments about women will get you ostracized. You can't say you're for equality of the sexes if you laugh when somebody says "I hate all men" but get angry if someone else says "I hate all women." Neither is acceptable, but feminists will disagree.

    Jump

  • I'll accept that feminism is about furthering the rights of women.

    It's not about equality, though, which is why we never hear feminists complaining about men in the draft.

    It's also a terrible word to use if it is about equality because it clearly favors one group over others. If you want to support equality, you should use a different word.

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • Not really.

    Black Lives Matter is a movement specifically to shed light on how cops abuse their power towards people of color and frequently go unpunished for it. Black Lives Matter is not about addressing how white people may suffer at the hands of police brutality and if you're trying to argue that it is, then you're either disingenuous or ignorant.

    You do have a point though, where both feminism and Black Lives Matter focus on one group over people over others.

  • What is an anti-hero?

    Jump

  • Great distinction.

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • No it's not. It clearly favors one side, but then people are saying it's about equality.

    If whatever feminism is trying to describe is truly about equality, then we should use a term that isn't biased.

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • There should be a different word that doesn't favor one side if it's about equality.

    Anyone who is tired of people misconstruing the meaning of the word 'feminism' should be trying to find a better word that means what they are trying to convey.

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • What is this referring to?

    How dairy cows need to be pregnant in order to produce milk, so they're artificially inseminated and kept pregnant throughout most of their lives?

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • It's a really shit word to use if it's supposed to mean equality.

    Are there any other words we can use to replace feminism that doesn't show bias towards one side?

  • Thomas Sankara was a true hero that was killed because he dared to threaten the status quo of "haves and have-nots."

  • Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?)

    Jump

  • Nah.

    For one, I don't like a term that's supposed to promote equality clearly favoring one side in its name.

    For two, most feminists I've met genuinely hate men and think they're owed superiority, not equality, for the treatment of women in the past.

  • In the star wars holiday special, there's a segment where Princess Leia sings. This act retroactively makes her a legitimate Disney princess.

    Jump

  • Good point.

    I don't know if we should consider Disney Princesses that weren't created under the Disney Company.

  • What animated TV series would you like to see being made in the future?

    Jump

  • That could be absurdly good.

    I'd like to see it on Adult Swim.

  • What's the deal with exodus from GitHub?

    Jump

  • I don't know, but I like it.

    The less power we give to Micro$oft, the better.

    Jump

  • I'd wager some innocent soul thought they were being clever by pointing out what makes a disney princess, and then more innocent souls lapped it up to feel like they're "in the know."

    Kairi is a Disney Princess and that was a centerpiece of the plot in her story, but she does not sing as far as I know. Certainly not in the first game where this lore was established.

    (she honestly has barely any lines or presence at all, which sucks)
