    I'm drag's experience, conservatives tip the best. America is falling into fascism, and Americans are the ones who leave massive tips. Civilized countries with leftist labour laws don't have as much tipping, if any.

    Charity is something capitalists invented to get out of paying taxes.

    If you're convinced they're so inferior, then how does letting them die make more sense than manipulating them into doing what you want? You know what they should be doing. They should be saving the world. If you're better than them, then be a leader. Tell them what they need to hear to do the right thing. Genocide is much less fun than domination.

    Not everyone is as clever as you. Most people need hope in order to get motivated to take action. Being able to try your hardest without any hope based motivation is the sign of an iron will. It's very rare. You should tell all the less exceptional people to have hope, because that's how you get them to do things.

    The other side is how noone has gotten to the point of studying the history of technology.

    Drag is pretty sure lots of archeologists have studied technology. For example there was the search for the recipe for Roman concrete.

    Thinking everything is fine leads to apathy. Thinking there's nothing we can do leads to apathy. The correct thought is that it's bad, but we can fix it.

    It sounds like you and drag agree that the winter solstice is only in December in the Northern hemisphere. You've taken on drag's correction and understood drag's point. Thank you for being so reasonable and open minded.

    Drag would also like to clarify that the winter solstice does not mark the start of winter in climates that don't have winter. For example, in places that have a six season calendar.

    Drag doesn't want to be referred to gender neutrally. Drag wants drag's gender affirmed. It isn't hard. You're going to all this effort to switch between "you", "they", and "them" based on complicated grammatical context rules, when you could just use a single pronoun in all cases. You're going to all this effort to inflect pronouns that drag doesn't want. Drag just wants you to take it easy and use a single pronoun. Why make things hard for yourself just so you can make them hard for drag too?

    Drag didn't say it's true. Drag said it's not fictional. Fiction and truth are not a dichotomy. They're not even mutually exclusive. There's plenty of things that are both or neither.

    The Winter solstice (Dec 22nd) marks the start of Winter.

    Only true in some places. It's not a universal fact. Lots of places don't even have winter. Yet, Christmas is still celebrated. You're making arguments about Christmas everywhere based on your own location's individual climate.

    Drag was making a point about how not everyone likes sex, and calling it a "facet of human experience" is a little grandiose from that point of view. Drag used the video game equivalence to illustrate that point to heterosexual non-gamers. Drag likes to fuck dragons, but drag respects asexuals and thinks about how allonormaty affects them. It's asexual awareness week.

  • Julius Caesar was assassinated for wearing red boots. Barrack Obama was lambasted for wearing a tan suit. Purple is associated with royalty, white is associated with clergy, and gold is associated with superiority. Red and Blue have powerful meanings in America, and so does Green. Which colour is the most political in your opinion?

    Xi wants to experiment with using xi/drag person-independent pronouns on this account. So far xi likes using the pronouns, but xi's only written 4 comments and already someone accused drag of talking about Chinese politics when xi mentioned dragself. Xi knows xi's pronouns are confusing, so xi would like to put xi's pronouns in xi's displayname to clear things up. But the character limit for display names on lemmy.nz is only 22 characters, and xi's handle already takes up 16 characters. Xi would need 24 characters to put xi's pronouns in xi's display name. Xi knows some instances also have a separate field for pronouns, and the pronouns get displayed next to the name without taking up displayname characters. Xi would like a place, or at least enough room, for xi's pronouns, please.
