  • What book, movie, etc. do you wish there was more of?

    Jump

  • Space Westerns, more Space Westerns pls

  • Pushing Google maps to account for parking time

    Jump

  • I'd settle for G-Maps just showing how long a drive takes if you drive the speed limit. Last time I took a long drive the estimate assumed I'd be doing more than ten over the whole way.

  • Do you think humans can be cloned as of currently? (I mean, not just a specific part of the body but a whole human)

    Jump

  • We're either there or close, but just like last time you asked this, nobody's going to do this in secret. They'd be bragging their asses off.

  • What Was the Golden Era of Video Games?

    Jump

  • It's right now. Indies everywhere, and we've successfully gotten past the worst of the always-online bullshit and PTW that plagued the early part of the millennium. More than half of my "all time favorite" games are still in active production today (sometimes continued by fans), and I'm not a young guy.

  • What is one or more pieces of media you've consumed that kept making more content but needed to just end?

    Jump

  • I'm a big Neal Stephenson fan, but the Baroque Cycle was a friggen' case study in his worst failing at the time: Unable to to tye all the narrative threads into a neat ending, he just. kept. writing. book after book until he finally petered out.

  • When shopping, especially in fashion, do you take brand into consideration?

    Jump

  • If I'm shopping, as opposed to just buying, it's because I don't already have a brand I prefer. Or because I'm thrifting. There a few brands I avoid for quality or ethics reasons, but mostly I'll take whatever fits best at a reasonable price.

  • When shopping, especially in fashion, do you take brand into consideration?

    Jump

  • Perfect Jeans are great for standing and walking, but not so good for biking. But since my commute is twenty minutes and my shift is nine hours, they're still my go-tos.

  • Westerners, what's your impression on the Chinese Diaspora? And what does the people around your area of residence think of the Chinese Diaspora?

    Jump

  • I don't really have a lot of experience with it.

    When I was in college I knew a lot of students who came from China and weren't planning to return after graduation, and I knew a lot of students who were children of professionals who had done the same a generation ago.

    But since leaving college I have not really interacted with first or second generation Chinese immigrants.

    Is it ethical to use mild shock collars on autistic children because many health and educational institutions do that too?

    Jump

  • No.

    And, by-the-by, "other people are doing it" is never sound ethical reasoning.

  • What do you set your Lemmy "type" to: hot, active, new, old, etc.?

    Jump

  • new, always new

  • What are the advantages of portable apps?

    Jump

  • I've only seen it used to play games on school / public computers. The game runs from the USB, since the user doesn't have permission to install software on the computer's harddrive.

  • What's your favourite and least favourite fast food chain?

    Jump

  • Taco Johns is the favorite, obviously.

  • What is your favorite quote, proverb, or piece of wisdom?

    Jump

  • nihil novum sub sole

  • In history we used to see fairies etc. But now we don't. Are we insane?

    Jump

  • fair enough

  • For Americans, what do you really think of Latin Americans?

    Jump

  • Optimi sunt.

    Jokes aside, they're just people like the rest of us, by and large. Except for the Quebecoise...

    Okay jokes aside for real this time, Latin America is too big and diverse to lump together. There's a few commonalities, like:

    • soccer / futbol
    • jus soli citizenship
    • good food

    ...but two out of three of those you'll also find in Anglo-America.

  • In history we used to see fairies etc. But now we don't. Are we insane?

    Jump

  • We used to tell stories about seeing fairies and so.

    We still tell stories about seeing fairies and so on. Nothing has changed.

    I myself have only really encountered a fairy one time.

  • Why are Christian nerds considered the epitome of tough and cool manhood in the USA?

    Jump

  • You might be taking crazy pills. This is just not true on the ground.

  • Why do I look like shit some days?

    Jump

  • It's either you or the day itself. If it's the day, just wait it out. If it's you, it's either your self-perception that's off, in which case some affirmations or treating yourself to even a small glowup might help; or something has gone subtly wrong, most likely sleep deprivation or dehydration. So drink some water, take a nap, use the nice hair product as a treat, and tell yourself you're a sexy badass.

  • Do you think that blue collar work should come under the category of skilled work?

    Jump

  • It already is considered skilled labor.

    1986 saw the release of both the Henson / Bowie film Labyrinth and the Ravensberger board game Labyrinth. What was going on in the zeitgeist that created these two seemingly unrelated classics?
