OmgItBurns , to Ask Lemmy in If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death.

I haven't gotten to the depths yet, but some responses seem earnest. Different degrees of proof needed when confirmation bias is in play.

OmgItBurns , to Asklemmy in What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?

What has helped me with this was seeking out local bands and seeing them live. Check out local bars with live music nights or open mics, wander around the biggest city in your area and look for interesting flyers and stickers, or [other useful advice]. As a bonus, when you find bands you like they often play shows with bands that are of a genre you'd never seek out yourself.

OmgItBurns , to Asklemmy in What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?

I felt that was true for a long time. There are a lot of sub-genres out there that don't promote that kind of thing. Honestly, and this is probably me wearing a conspiracy theorist hat, a lot of hip-hop that essentially glorified a lot of horrible traits was just what a lot of old, rich white dudes figured would make them money.

OmgItBurns , to Asklemmy in Why do people say "Catholics and Christians" in (USA) when Catholics are also Christians, as if they refer to it as a different religion.

I grew up going to various Christian schools as a kid. While it wasn't a common viewpoint, I did hear of it from time to time.

The reason behind it, to my knowledge, was that Catholic practices would often be significantly different from other denominations' practices. The biggest thing I can think of is the veneration of and praying to saints.

OmgItBurns , to Asklemmy in Employed lemmings, how did you get hired?

I'm a software dev. I went to a recruiter and shouted "ME WANT JORB!!!1" and they gave me one.

However, I was only able to get my foot in the door because of friends I made in school.

OmgItBurns , to [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation in Are housecats aware of how much bigger people are?

I like how the link makes it look like scientist cats are being talked about.
