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

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.

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 lemmyshitpost in well guess what else is yellow ?

Oh science being green rings a bell.

Varyk, to lemmyshitpost in well guess what else is yellow ?

I feel like the dad is describing exactly how I color tabbed my folders.

Maybe there was some kind of standard back in the day?

Varyk, to comicstrips in He appreciates them!

Awesome, thanks

Varyk, to science_memes in Corvids...

Don’t take anything away from them.

Varyk, to lemmyshitpost in Did You Know?

This is a great point

Varyk, to star_wars in Is there a good list of which materials are considered canon beyond the films and how definitive is that list?

That’s very illuminating. Thank you for the explanation.

I didn’t know about any of the old expanded universe

Varyk, (edited ) to star_wars in Is there a good list of which materials are considered canon beyond the films and how definitive is that list?

Oh they have an actual list. Interesting. Thank you

Varyk, (edited ) to star_wars in Is there a good list of which materials are considered canon beyond the films and how definitive is that list?

Thank you

Is this an explicit division of Canon?

And none of the books have ever been considered Canon as far as you know?

What is her is not part of the Star wars universe was never explicitly stated by Lucas or by Disney right?

So is this general consensus by fans?

Varyk, to star_wars in Fan theories about racist caricatures in phantom menace do not hold water

My post was about even though there may have been lazy production and editing(accidental racism), this is not an excuse to blame the voice actors for being intentionally racist(intentional racism), as fans constantly repeat without knowing anything about the production or voice actors.

You said I discounted accidental racism(which is in my post).

I agreed that I discounted accidental racism since it’s a poor excuse to accuse someone of intentional racism.

Varyk, to star_wars in Best fan cuts and edits of the movies, specifically 1-3?

Oh rad thanks, I’ll check them out

Varyk, to star_wars in Best fan cuts and edits of the movies, specifically 1-3?

Not so much hard to find as never released, it sounds like?

Which makes sense of course.

Varyk, to movies in what are some of the most glaring and significant mistranslations in movies? add spoiler tags if necessary, please.

Alita or Akira? I’m not familiar with an Akita
