I am being argumentative for the sake of it. What's there to discuss if everyone is in complete agreement? I enjoy a challenge more than a circlejerk. I'm challenging your ideas with the expectation of the same being done to mine. I want people to try and poke holes into my ideas.

It’s not that I argue for points I don’t believe in - that wouldn’t make much sense to me. If I don’t think an argument holds up, I see no reason to bring it up. Rather, even when I clearly lean one way on an issue, there are often strong counterarguments to consider. Even if they don’t change my mind, they might still be points I don’t have a solid response to, and I find it valuable to engage with them. I think the ability to argue honestly against one’s own beliefs is a strong indicator that a person truly understands what they’re talking about, rather than simply echoing talking points to signal allegiance.
We do, but also, we don't like being called out for it as indicated by the post score
I think the idea with carbon capture is mostly that you power it with the excess you're getting from renewables. Finland for example has so much wind turbines that when it's windy they produce much more energy than the country consumes. In moments like this it makes sense to put this energy into something like carbon capture or hydrogen production.
That fucking pink stick has ruined so many otherwise good videos.
For me, the first telltale sign is showing face. The second is the colorful background.
When I spend time with left-leaning people (like on Lemmy), they assume I’m much more right-wing than I actually am. Conversely, when I’m with my right-leaning friends, they think I’m much more left-wing than I really am. Even my closest friends and my SO frequently make assumptions about my views on certain topics, and more often than not, they’re completely wrong. My political views are such a mixed bag that they don’t fit neatly anywhere on the spectrum. However, the further you move in either direction from the center, the more I find myself disagreeing with the people there. Yet, many - often trapped in binary thinking - assume that if I’m not on their side, I must belong to the other.
I also enjoy playing Devil’s advocate, so even when I agree with someone 90% of the time, I might still bring up points that - at least to some - make it sound like I disagree. It’s just that there are very few positions I’m absolutely certain about, so even when there’s little actual disagreement, I like exploring the perspectives that highlight my own uncertainties.
I'm one of the people still posting quite high cuality content of myself online for completely free (I'm a guy) I do it because I'm exhibitionist. I like being seen in minimal clothing in public as well, this is just a variation of that.
I've been a member on a website that's quite well known in my country for over 15 years. It's like adult Facebook where people post nudes and it's all free.
Recently however people have more and more started using it for advertising their OF and what I find funny/interesting is how I can tell most of these profiles simply by looking at their pictures as they always have this certain "onlyfans look" to them.
I've never used OF myself but the feeling I get from these profiles is that it's way too obvious that they're doing it for the money. There's a completely different vibe to someone's profile who just wants to show off because it's exciting to them.
It's not a hypercar like most other Lamborghinis, you can absolutely daily drive an Urus but it'll still be quite expensive to maintain even if the car itself was free. I'd imagine something like even an oil change costing 500 to 1000 bucks for this thing.
Gives me football vibes. Maybe they're from Brazil.
A little bit of context would be in place. Does he run a drug cartel?
Yes
