    What is the definition of a meme, again?

    Jump

  • To me, a meme requires an image and text. That image could be a gif or a still image, but it needs an image. I do not consider images of plain text to be memes—those are just posts posted in an unnecessarily data-fat way.

  • I have a feeling covering deserts with solar panels will have some sort of negative impact on the environment. Those are habitats too, although inhospitable to most organisms.

    Still, I see you point. It makes more sense to invest in green energy sources we know work and are already cheap. A combination of wind, solar, and hydro should be more than sufficient to supply the world’s energy needs. Although I still think we should be investing heavily into cold fusion research, because that’s still the holy grail.

  • How do you successfully maintain a calorie deficit over the long run?

    Jump

  • Long-term, sustained weight loss is about lifestyle change. Don’t set a goal and implement dietary and/or exercise changes you have to force yourself to stick to; instead, you have to find a lower-calorie diet and exercise routine that you actually like. Some “dealing with hunger” may be necessary in the beginning if you’re used to frequent eating or large portions, but your body/brain should acclimate to your new diet in a few weeks. If you can, the best eating schedule is actually one with no meals, but around six healthy snacks throughout the day. This is because the frequent eating keeps your metabolism up throughout the day, which burns calories faster. You want to aim for no more than 2,000 calories a day if you’re counting them. I would also recommend taking a multivitamin (most people should be taking one anyway).

  • Leaf Blower vs. Animal Rights Activists — Full Footage from Seattle

    Jump

  • Yeah, but at the same time, what these activists are doing is largely unproductive, a waste of their time, and mostly just serves to make their pursuits unpopular. This is bad activism.

  • When you’re interrupting your husband and Chuck Berry singing together by screeching into an adjacent mic impromptu when your only job was to play tambourine, your “art” is objectively bad.

    And her reprehensible treatment of Lennon’z son is well documented, you can Google it.

  • If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is it considered a hostage situation?

    Jump

  • No. Alternate identities in people with DID (dissociative identity disorder) are not literally other people; they're different identity complexes within the same person. Such a person would need a good therapist/psychiatrist, not a hostage negotiator.

  • My in laws sink faucet converges at the end

  • "I personally do not care. Good day, sir."

    You should care about grammar and punctuation. They aid in communication and everyone wants to be understood clearly, no? Sorry if I came off too harsh. My last line was intended to be an expression of exasperation about how common poor grammar is in general, not specifically directed at you. Anyway, I hope I haven't put you off learning. I know us grammar Nazis can be annoying, but we mean well.

  • Who is an artist or public figure you still enjoy despite them being cancelled for bad behaviour?

    Jump

  • I don't think social mores factor into it all for him. When he said he finds the position of trans people genuinely funny, I think he was being honest. I do think he went too far with his jokes about them, simply in terms of sheer number; it was a social faux pas that strained the credulity of his stated position, but I personally believe him when he says he just finds the whole situation very funny.

    I think he doesn't care what other people think of his comedy at this point, and I don't really have an opinion on that. I suppose I sort of respect it, but I also think he's definitely passed into the realm of bad taste at this point. I don't think he means anything bad by it though. Maybe he is insensitive, but comedians aren't known for their sensitivity. I understand the criticism against him for it and think it's valid.

    I'm not defending the offensiveness of his jokes, just stating that I think they're just jokes to him, and he doesn't actually mean them in a mean-spirited light. If I were to talk to him about it, I would probably ask him how he feels about White comedians that make jokes about Black people, who also claim they're not advocating anti-Black views, and just find the humor in their situations. I imagine he might reveal himself to be quite the hypocrite under that line of questioning. Most of us are hypocrites.

  • Report Warns Millions of Americans Are ‘Functionally Unemployed’

    Jump

  • I agree with you as well of the spirit of what the study in the article is trying to do, but I do object to the terminology they used, as it muddies the waters unnecessarily. A term like "underemployed" is much better than "functionally unemployed."

  • How do I deal with the outside world when I have germaphobia and don't really like outside?

    Jump

  • This. It is very treatable, but requires a good therapist and a strong desire to overcome the condition. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can be used to help you understand that the anxious thoughts are entirely irrational, and then willful counteracting behaviors (e.g. going outside, resisting the urge to wash hands, touching stuff without a Kleenex, etc) gradually erode the problem behaviors until your brain is effectively rewired. It takes dedication and consistency, but if done, it’s very effective.

  • Do any of you actually know someone who legitimately believes there's an actual "War on Christmas?"

    Jump

  • You have to remember, a lot of American Christians are descended from European Christians who were so extreme and weird that no one wanted them around, so they fled to the Americas to escape “persecution.” So, these Christian persecution complexes go way back. They’re a part of our history. Well, not all of ours, but some.
