Varyk, to memes in Government money

Have to start somewhere, and starting with ubi is a lot better then the crooked system in place now.

Not when you factor in the productivity and social harmony of a healthy citizen population.

Varyk, to asklemmy in What is the origin of the phrase "to have faith in humanity"?

By the way, did you ask this 6 days ago, because I just received a notification this morning?

Varyk, to movies in which movie has Danny trejo's best acting?

I think I’m with you there.

It’s either machete or I have to watch him again in Desperado. I feel like in Desperado I was like “Oh yeah that is a murderer.” But he had to maintain that for the whole of machete.

I think humans are largely wired similarly and it’s mostly nurture that influences one’s “moral” compass.

I don’t think our morality is evolving in any meaningful way, but I am optimistic about our ethical development as a direct result of our increasing interconnectedness via travel technology and more significantly, social media/online news.

The invasion of Ukraine, for instance, is inciting a much stronger public global reaction than international conflicts historically have and I believe even twenty years ago(or less; Crimea), nobody would have cared that some faraway place was fighting another faraway place.

I think humanity and humans individually are developing empathy past our preoccupation with the monoculture we’re born into as a direct result of physical and digital proximity. Understanding and believing that we, all humans, humanity, are all related and connected is much more difficult to ignore or discount via ignorance these days, leading to a further-reaching awareness and empathy for situations distance may otherwise have preempted.

Oh awesome, haha, this is a ringing endorsement.

Fair, thanks. I have an unpopular opinion about deniro and pacino though, so heat doesn’t crack my top (any number) in cinema.

I haven’t watched it in a decade though, so apparently I have to watch it again because everybody still talks about it 40 years later

Oh rad, thanks, I’ll check it out

Varyk, (edited ) to asklemmy in After a lifetime against, I'm considering joining social media. Any advice?

I’d say if you aren’t on them and don’t need them, there’s no reason to dip your toe in.

It’s okay to be a little weird and save tons of time and not have to read worthless comments.

I was part of the main ones, but got rid of everything, LinkedIn Facebook, all of it. They are useless or detrimental personally, and I don’t need them for my job.

This is the extent of my social media now.

Varyk, to asklemmy in How would you feel/react if your home address was announced & published very publicly the same way celebrities experience?

Slightly annoyed and then I’d move. I live moving and I travel light so it wouldn’t be a huge inconvenience.

But I agree that it is terrifying and awful for people who prefer to put down roots or have their lifestyle tied up in being public figures.

Has nothing to do with OPs question or my answer, but to address a single tangent you’ve offered, yes, people are complex.

Varyk, to asklemmy in Why does America say 'merry christmas'?

Euphonics?

Varyk, (edited ) to asklemmy in What's the consensus on swearing here

I assume there is, but the asterisks make me laugh every time, like when Aubrey plaza has her mouth blanked out every time she swears at Scott Pilgrim

Varyk, to asklemmy in What's the consensus on swearing here

It’s a f****** feature, not a bug, you twat cock. Hm. Twat cock’s fine.

Murreh crizz-mats

Varyk, to asklemmy in Why does America say 'merry christmas'?

That’s called euphonics, and I agree
