“You are what you eat”. If someone only consumes fascist propaganda right-wing media, then they will become more fascist right-winged.

To OOP: You might not be able to turn off their TV. But you should share unbiased or left-leaning articles, shows, news, etc. And try to get them to “eat” a more balanced diet.

There are novels that don’t measure up to the writing of visual novels.

There are comics that don’t measure up to the art of visual novels.

There are video games that are less engaging than visual novels.

Broad generalizations like this are so useless. It’s okay that you play one or two visual novels and they weren’t for you. I don’t particularly like visual novels either, but to discredit an entire genre because of it is just ignorant. I’ve played some visual novels that were excellent and pushed the boundaries of video games. See Slay the Princess and Doki Doki Literature Club. I’m playing Date Everything right now, it’s not exactly innovative, but I’m having fun with it.

Well, I’m pretty sure the Earth is in orbit around a star [citation needed], so I would think solar panels on Earth would also be in orbit around a star.

I mean, I suppose that technically a lone satellite with solar panels in orbit around the Sun is probably an extremely limited form of a Dyson sphere — it’s not as if there’s some firm lower bound on what percentage of energy output from the star that needs to be captured. One could presumably scale up incrementally.

By that definition the solar panels that are already on the Earth are a tiny Dyson swarm. And honestly, I approve.
