I just can't stand the "adult woman talking/singing in a breathy small child's voice" style that's so popular in Japan, and Hatsune Miku is that squared.

Edit: here's a related article for anyone curious about why that phenomenon may exist. In a nutshell: gender inequality.

Ugh, I knew it'd be Jordanlund before I saw the instance. I like them as a fellow forum user, but they should NOT be moderating anything. They remove comments they disagree with and use the moderation reason as a "you're wrong and my opinion is the final word now" field. Absolutely bullshit.

That's social conditioning, not biology.

If the government doesn't take care of his poor, minorities, what are they doing.

Facilitating the transfer of wealth to the richest fraction of the population.

People too computer illiterate to understand this situation.

I came to mention the same. Static phenotype ≠ static genotype.

Ugh, blockchain. During the pandemic, I had absolutely no work to do so my boss asked me to make a presentation for him to present on the merits of blockchain. When my response was that it's overhyped bullshit, he was not thrilled.

I made the requested presentation but it made me feel dirty, so I alt texted every slide's graphics to include the counterpoint to the bullshit benefits being presented.

Who writes and administers the test? And who ensures everyone has equal access to education so a non-voting underclass isn't created?

The United States used to have a "voting literacy test" which effectively existed to keep non-whites from voting. It was practically impossible to pass, so it was at the clerk's discretion who could or could not vote.

I just bought a copy at Thrift Books! I'll have it framed.

I don't understand anything that's going on here. Why is the text pasted over? Why are the top and bottom cropped off? Why is someone telling me that it's funny? Here's the original.

Many people, myself included, prefer to read. I can quickly skim an article to make sure it's worth investing some time into before reading it for retention and understanding. I can also read far faster than a narrator can narrate the same. Overall, written word is just a significantly more effective medium for me. Others may have different reasons.

I'd love to know if anyone who actually cares about this feels similarly about horoscopes or Meyers-Briggs assessments, two other completely fabricated ways of classifying people.

My Trumper father used to complain about things like choosing your gender being made up. It's all made up, dad! We literally make everything up, just some dipshits gatekeep what make believe is acceptable or not.
