coldv , to asklemmy in The magic genie has appeared to grant you your wish. What small thing do you wish for that would have the biggest positive impact on the world?

Not sure if it’s a small thing but I think I would change it so good deeds make a bigger impression on people than the bad.

It’s a bit of a rainbow sunshine kind of wish but it’s human nature to remember bad things easier than the good, it’s a survival instinct to protect ourselves. But with all these conflicts and discrimination, big or small, if people don’t let fear dominate, everyone would cut each other more slack.

Of course this requires everyone to have the same mindset to work, that’s why I think making that small change in human nature at its core is the only way, and only a genie could pull that off.

coldv , to world in Hamas releases first video of a hostage taken to Gaza

I think they are scared shitless

coldv , to asklemmy in What's the worst spoiler that you've inadvertently given to someone? (Please use spoiler tags.)

Apparently like this:


<span style="color:#323232;">::: spoiler Bible Spoiler
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Jesus dies in the Bible!
</span><span style="color:#323232;">:::
</span>

To appear like this:

Bible SpoilerJesus dies in the Bible!

Line breaks are a must. It seems like some apps like Voyager doesn’t support spoiler tags so you may need to look again in the browser if this doesn’t look right.

coldv , to asklemmy in What's the worst spoiler that you've inadvertently given to someone? (Please use spoiler tags.)

The Walking Dead. Twice.

First time was when a coworker was telling me how good second season was and I should give it another shot. I ended up binging it then later talked to him about how shocking it was when it was revealed

spoileryou’d turn no matter how you die.

Turns out he hadn’t finished the season yet.

Second time was the third season when

spoilerMerle died. I was rewatching it with someone and when Merle was acting all heroic before his rogue suicide mission, I commented that it’s such a trope when a hated character do something uncharacteristically selfless before they die so they could make us feel something for them in the last minute. In my weak defence, when I watched it for the first time, I thought it was pretty clear it was a suicide mission, but apparently it is not.

coldv , to world in Japan Court Rules Against Mandatory Transgender Sterilization

Japan is amazing to visit but I would never live there. There is an incredible amount of discrimination that is normalised in the society.

coldv , to world in Australians vote No in referendum that promised change for First Nations people but couldn’t deliver

As a POC, I am not surprised, but I was still optimistic because there was no way to vote “no” without looking like a racist cunt. Well turns out Australia has no problem with looking like a bunch of racist cunts.

coldv , to world in Australians vote No in referendum that promised change for First Nations people but couldn’t deliver

Yup. Sounds like Australia. Proudly admitting they’re racist, and afraid even of a symbolic gesture that has no actual power in the parliament. I’m just embarrassed that it is now official.

coldv , to worldnews in Israel calls for all 1.1 million civilians to leave Gaza City within 24 hours

This is barely even a “formality” before a massacre. Israel was looking for an excuse to go all out without any restraint and they got it. It’s fucking tragic that these bastards are playing with civilians lives. Fuck both authorities.

coldv , to foodporn in Hot dog fried rice

I’m sure Uncle Roger would approve. The spring onions are being used as garnish! Also it looks like they’re using a proper wok! They’re a wok fuckboi like Uncle Gordon!

Seriously though, it looks great. Nothing wrong with throwing hot dog into fried rice. Fried rice is basically a fancy way to eat up leftovers anyway! It sounds like something you could get in a Hong Kong diner/Cha Chaan Teng

coldv , to til in TIL in Australia the name of the band "AC/DC" is pronounced "Acca Dacca"

As an Australian living in Canada, yes it’s Macca’s in Australia, but a Canadian friend also told me they have McDicks.

coldv , to world in Spanish FA president Rubiales resigns over Hermoso kiss

That really took longer than it should’ve. I would love to be a fly on the wall of the conversation that finally convinced/force him to resign.

coldv , to world in China Is Cracking Down on Cantonese Language Advocacy in Hong Kong

As a Hongkonger… Fucking heartbreaking.

coldv , to asklemmy in What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

Oh my! I spent so much on camping! I get so excited by all the gadgets that people come up with.

coldv , (edited ) to asklemmy in I got a terrible night of sleep and have an interview this afternoon. What are some things I can do to help my brain?

I would say meditation or a power nap, but if you are super drowsy, I think you will likely sleep through it.

You could go for a long walk in a park (ideally close to your interview location) to get your body active and hope that the energy would carry through to the interview instead of tiring you out more.

But the safest option is still to ask to reschedule because of illness. Cold, IBS, migraine, plumbing issue… Your choice.

Edit: so happy that it went well!!

coldv , to asklemmy in Do you believe in God?

I remember I actually stopped believing in God at the same time I realised Santa wasn’t real.
