  • What's your favourite non-English cuss word?

  • No the Sophists tried to persuade people through rhetoric instead of dialectic, which is why Plato hated them.

  • Absolutely. Basil with tomato, mozzarella, some spinach if you want to bulk it up and get more nutrients, and a balsamic glaze.

  • In my house we have the Dish Fairy. Its always exciting when she's paid us a visit.

  • [War and Peas]

  • In Geoff Ryman's novel "Him," both Mary and Joseph are ace. They reproduce via some kind of turkey baster method. And Jesus is a trans man.

  • What would you pick to be reincarnated as AND WHY?

    Jump

  • Black vulture. The way they just glide on air currents looks amazing. Scavenging seems easier than hunting. And they're social animals, as opposed to turkey vultures (these being the two species in my area). Plus they look really cool.

  • What is something that desperately needs to be standardized?

    • weight measurements in baking recipes (instead of or in addition to volumetric measurements)
    • password requirements. Not using the same password for different sites, just using a formula, but it's hard when some sites require the use of characters that others forbid, or some sites cap password length at a character limit lower than other sites require as minimum.

  • What are some of the most colorfully vibrant and innocent images or photos out there, under the Creative Commons License?

  • What are your Lemmy upvoting/downvoting habits? How do you judge posts/comments?

    Jump

  • If i comment on a post or reply to a comment, I upvote it. Case in point.

    If i think a post is in the wrong place, I downvote it. For example, I follow a lot of art communities. In artshare I upvote literally every post because I think creativity should be encouraged, and sharing your creative journey should be encouraged. However, I feel like the traditionalart community is for sharing professional art pieces. I've already seen your same piece in 4 other communities,et me have one place for polished art.

    Eta: if someone comments on a post I make, I almost always up vote. Unless the comment is complete garbage, im grateful for the engagement.

  • What movie do you think is really underrated?

    Jump

  • Repo! The Genetic Opera

    The music is incredible. The Gothic setting is great. The father/daughter storyline is complex. I wish it was more popular.

  • TIL it takes the average mammal 12 seconds to poop.

  • A tempting offer

  • Im saying people will work more jobs, but fewer hours at each of them. The kind of jobs meant to keep you part-time with no benefits.

  • There's nothing inherently wrong with being a landlord

    People in lefty spaces like lemmy do not typically agree with that.

  • Home ownership is not ideal for everyone.

    Obviously, all humans deserve to have a home. Not all of us want to own a house. I would rather have the flexibility to move around, and much prefer to leave repairs and maintenance in the hands of the person I'm renting from.

    I get that it's not fair for rent money to passively make someone else wealthy, while they get to have the equity of a house. I'm not suggesting we keep that system. Housing (at least a portion of it) should be available as a public good.

  • What song/band did you not expect to like - but ended up loving?

    Jump

  • Agree on Pink Pony Club, a lot of her songs took me a few listens before I became a fan.

  • What song/band did you not expect to like - but ended up loving?

    Jump

  • Lords of the Lost, a Goth metal/glam rock band, performed Blood and Glitter at Eurovision 2023. I wasn't a fan at first, and their style is not one i gravitate to, but the song grew on me. Since then, they've put out one good song after another. If you want a song that expresses dislike for other people while still wishing the best for humanity, check out their latest release: I Hate People.
