  Exactly that, correct

  While it is true that we have collectively made significant progress with technology, (if that’s what you mean by “nurture”) it hasn’t changed our aggressive behaviour as a species which is what OP was questioning. Sure, we have made significant changes culturally, technologically, and with memes- so what?

  There’s not enough generations of humans to evolve significantly under 1000 years. Especially since we have been living under relatively no evolutionary pressure to change dogma and violence

  If you don’t eat you die. So yes, chips are better than nothing

  I can’t say I’m a frequent user of delivery services. I see Uber Eats at least has an option to say beforehand if you agree meeting at the door, driveway or whatever and sometimes I, I choose to make things easier for the driver…

  But having to haggle on the phone sounds ridiculous. There’s a thousand reasons you may not be able to walk out of your apartment ffs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to talk in an American accent but how can I transition into it slowly for people who know me without them noticing a sudden change?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disconnect yourself from absolutely everyone you know and everywhere you usually go; take a long vacation somewhere relatively close but isolated enough from where you live.

  Then, pretend this is actually a trip to America. You can fake photos online, AI makes this very easy for you today. Return to your normal life and carry on with the American accent. Continue taking fake (or if you can, real) holidays to America to justify the accent.

  Thanks for this follow up and for sharing! That was interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does it look like for a YouTube creator when the audience uses something like NewPipe or Freetube?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And adding to my previous comment, +1 on NewPipe uninterrupted and +1 from Freetube. All Australia if that’s of any use

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does it look like for a YouTube creator when the audience uses something like NewPipe or Freetube?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay! +1 NewPipe, might add that I started the vid about an hour ago, got interrupted by a phone call and only now I finished it. The views jumped from 9 to 24 by the time I returned to watch.

  I’m going to give it another view without interruption now, same NewPipe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to stop thinking about an interaction from my past?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Long post sorry, I had something similar happen to me.

  Everyone here is spot on in that this guy was an asshat. There are others saying you are giving this too much thought or weight and that you should be able to stop doing that at any given time.

  That’s true, but not easy, otherwise you wouldn’t be asking how to stop thinking about it. The key to stop giving shit like this so much weight lies in figuring out why it bothers you so much, and don’t just answer “because he was rude”, instead look at what attitudes/ thoughts/beliefs you have that are making you feel bad about it.

  Once when I was 18 I started working at a very prestigious place in a sort of apprenticeship trial thing. I was left completely unsupervised, not given any deadlines, not told how to do things, and although I did a really good job, I was too slow and the manager wasn’t happy about it. Instead of just saying to me that he needed someone working at a different pace and just tell me to find work elsewhere, he scolded me, gave me a really patronising speech about how maybe I wasn’t cut out for the job and that perhaps I should consider finding happiness through motherhood since I’m a woman. Not even kidding, he was that much of a piece of trash. And of course I was fired.

  So that particular episode really haunted me for years until one day I realised I was working in that very same field, doing a really good job elsewhere, and that the only reason he was that rude was just cruelty, nothing wrong with me. It was something obvious to me from the very beginning, but it took my subconscious or whatever a good 6-8 years to fully believe what I already knew.

  Now it’s your turn, you’ve done the first part which is becoming aware of it, what’s left is believing it. Good luck.

  This is true but easier said than done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People not from English-speaking countries, was it possible to watch cartoons in English subbed?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to talk about Argentina during the late 90s- early 2000s. There was no streaming yet, however some shows came with a thing called Secondary Audio Programming, aka SAP, which you could enable with a button on your remote control. There were NO subtitles though, so if you didn’t understand what was being said you were on your own.

  Personally I liked to watch most Cartoon Network shows with SAP.

  I don’t think I’ve ever bought any series on dvd before the streaming ages, so I won’t talk about that. However, if you were going to the cinema you could pick if you wanted the original with subtitles or the dub. Most live action films not for kids were more often available in its original voicetrack but the reverse was true for animated and children’s content. You had to search more or go to a late night screening to watch Disney with subtitles for example.
