  • Perhaps majority is the wrong word, rather she is the most popular with horny humans. Im not referring to humans in general but pointing out that I’m saying Lisa is no. 2 on a ranked list. People are freaking out over Maggie when Lisa is also right there and far higher.

    So I suspect they’re both on the list for the same reason, and Lisa is higher because her adult version is used way more often and is more familiar.

    EDIT: Jesus Christ, the list has Louise Belcher. She’s 5




  • If it’s a video. I fcuking hate when I’m trying to find a tutorial, or recipe, or some other help and the results are people recording their screens while they dick around with zero subtitles or chapter headings.

    I can scan text for the relevant part within seconds. I’m not interested in two minutes of WHATS UP LADIES AND GENTS, missing the crucial step because it looks so similar to the irrelevant steps either side, lack of subtitles for my poor hearing, or hard to see on my tiny phone screen etc.

    Videos are easy tutorials/references to prepare because you have all these channels of information you can use simultaneously. They are the hardest medium to find specific information in because they use so many channels of information.

    I think that videos are enjoyable to consume, but they’re not good at passing on information, especially if the recipient is resistant already (because you’re asking them to do extra work to support your point).

    Tell me about it. NZ has the most right-wing neo-liberal pro-American-politicking cabinet we’ve had in a long long time. (The PM is also so incompetent he’s polling the lowest approval we’ve had for a long time, possibly ever). They got in power off the backs of post-Covid economic hardship, despite having no proposed solutions other than funding landlords and cutting environmental policy.

    If it had been put to the citizens, I believe we would’ve been for it. But the current cabinet doesn’t want to piss off American partners no doubt, hoping abstaining let’s them sit on the fence a little longer while pretending we’re ultimately n9t the bad guy. That will be the reason for most of those abstaining.

    I’m disgusted.


  • Yes. It would be necessary to live a modern life, given almost everything we use/eat comes from some unethical source. We abstain from the things that are important to us, according to our values. Lyrically if a song does not itself promote [terrible thing] then the music can be separated from an artist that does.

    However if it is important to you that your listening does not generate income for those people, don’t listen to their music in apps (eg Spotify, who pays based on plays), nor on their official YT channels (which are likely monetised).

    Also, be mindful that playing/listening to it around others is a form of ‘conspicuous consumption’, one of many ways our actions become ‘Word of Mouth’ advertising. This may lead others to believe you support the artists specifically, and depending on their values, they may be derisive or hostile. (Or, they agree with [terrible thing] and believe you are alike.)



  • Yeah turns out it wasn’t anonymity, that was estimated because the internet has a greater amoun of dickery than real life.

    But really, Assholes online are also assholes in real life. Same for kibd people. What the internet did was allow assholes find and network with each other, and make environment uncomfoetable enough that kind people leave. Only assholes are left.

    The people who are first to review are those that strobgly dislike it and closed it early (or with some point to make). Everybody that strongly likes it is busy enjoying it and won’t review until they take a break or are done.

    Give it time and see the reviews in a couple days.
