  • Can we see a photo you took recently?

    Jump

  • I realise I haven't taken many photos of things I find interesting lately. I went over my photos for a whole year ... Most of them are work related or too personal to share.

    But.

    I found this ant colony with their brood inside a friend's pantry. I only moved the items around a bit, exposing them, and they moved the whole colony overnight.

  • Not joking I'm curious

  • Overestimation of microplastics potentially caused by scientists' gloves

    Jump

  • That would be good news, and also concerning news

  • Asking the real questions

    Jump

  • I like the aesthetics of this comic, but I never find it funny

  • Do you feel distressed and like have an identity crisis when you have moments of your life that you can't remember? (especially childhood)

    Jump

  • No. If anything, my crisis are because of what I do remember. And thankfully childhood memories are never a problem.

  • Is the internet getting emptier?

    Jump

  • I may be curious, are you working on something like software or something like research? And when you say to map where people agree/disagree, do you mean in general or specifically their agreement/disagreement of how they perceive the Internet is changing?

  • Excuse me, would you please be so kind to point me in the direction of all these sauropod hypothetical natural disaster posts? Which comm? This is the first I see, but, granted, I've been busy lately

  • Girl in blue must have the worst case of eggplant allergy ever. I mean, it's an oddly specific question to ask

  • Squirrel seen 'vaping' in London park

    Jump

  • I'm not saying someone changes solely because of lots of arguments. Or repeated exposure, which I agree, are more likely to cement a position if they are essentially the same argument over and over. But arguments in general add to whatever experiences eventually change someone's mind. Just another factor.

    What's your impression of a person who says they're Machiavellian?

    Jump

  • That's different from someone saying "I'm Machiavellian", which is what OP asked. But taken at face value, without context, one would understand we are talking about someone labelling themselves as such.

  • Typically, no. Not in person and not online. However, winning an argument - in particular one that brings fairness or justice as a consequence - feels very rewarding. But I still don't enjoy the actual arguing part.

    Discussing different points of view though, I don't always consider this arguing. As long as it remains an exchange, it is pleasant. If I have to attack and defend something personal, then no.

  • I'd say it is very unlikely someone will change their mind because of an argument. But it is likely that someone will change their mind after several arguments, and some reflection. It may take years. This person may not see things the same way you do once they change, but they may change some of their views.

    Jump

  • Cringe edgelord. Or just a delusional idiot.

    Because of the evil implied in machiavellianism, I'm sure they have plenty of unsavory behavior they would love to see your reaction to.

    True Machiavellian character would not disclose it if they are aware of it.

    Move on, ignore and, if possible, block.

  • What do you cook when you want to impress your guests?

    Jump

  • I can cook for myself alright, but I don't impress people with my culinary skills. I'm not a fan of cooking.

    When I need to save face because there are guests, (rarely happens but it does) I do pan fried salmon and steamed vegetables. It's very difficult to get it wrong. It's easy to season. Looks presentable. I learned to cook the salmon from a short Gordon Ramsay video that you can find on YouTube. Practically foolproof

  • Congrats, you spotted a flag! You seem a bit confused about the color. It's red, very very red! Here is why:

    He's angry at you. Why? Because you don't do as he says or wants.

    He then trash talks about you. Why? Because he is angry, and wants to hurt you, but not openly on your face no no. Because if he did hurt you openly, he knows you are smart enough to never again do what he wants and as he says.

    Did you get that right? I said, He wants to hurt you

    Finally, he asks you to go be with him. Why? Well he wants you for something. But if it were to give you love and affection, he wouldn't be trash talking about you in the first place. He just wants someone to validate him, someone he can control. Obviously. Nobody in their right mind wants someone who they say is a slut and they are angry at. Unless, of course, you can still fulfill his need for validation and control.

    Run away Don't give this person the time of the day
