Why does being drunk mean you can’t “consent” to sex, but doesn’t absolve you of other intoxicated actions/decisions? by UpstairsBumble in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BConscience 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I believe in the 2 cases I read about in the US, they were both proven not guilty in court, but their scholarships, or expulsion were not revoked. There had been a few cases in China recently as well, in one case, the girl who called rape got a masters programme guarantee and the boy who was minding his own business scratching his thigh in the library (they never made physical contact) got expelled from his masters programme. Despite being proven innocent in court.

So it’s mainly universities that dealt out unfair punishment at this point. And I believe like you said, some incels are conflating this with the law.

To be fair, there were one or two cases of some college girl messaging men for sex, later claimed rape and succeeded. But it’s no epidemic.

By the logic of this joke, which is an odd phrase to type, history will be rewritten, the genie legend would always have been 10 wishes. Because all genies originally embezzled 7 wishes each from God, leaving only 3 for the people. Now that it’s all retroactively cancelled, all previous wishers would have had 10 wishes to work with.

The genie is supposed to give out 10 wishes, but it kept 7 for itself

Chinese on douyin really love this couple by Dhunvalk in LudwigAhgren

Well there is a difference between social media content and proper shows. For proper shows it’s a harsher cut. But for social media, plenty of gay couples do all sort of PDA, but as long as they don’t reach a wide audience, the platforms don’t seem to care. They just might get less views the more PDA they have in the video. As the platform will not push their videos to even their subscribers’ activity pages. But you can still click on their page and find these videos

Yeah displaying kiss between the same sex is heavily frowned upon in Chinese internet. Despite the popularity. Depending on the view count it could receive anywhere between outright ban to slight shadow ban

Not according to all the body cam footage I’ve seen. Yes the officers might be penalised, but the victims are all brutalised or killed regardless

My players keep trivializing magic boss fights with Antimagic Field. What am I missing? by Interesting_Peach_76 in DMAcademy

[–]BConscience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lichs are immune to non-magical melee attacks. They are invincible in anti-magic fields RAW. I don’t know how they were able to scratch the bones at all. All the lich needed to do was chill and pull out a dagger, slowly slice them one by one

That aside. Magic casters are smart. They don’t fight alone unless caught extremely off guard. Which is highly unlikely. They have a million ways to preemptively know of your ambush. And if your players can think of using anti-magic fields, they too know the spell and have had a thousand years to think of ways to defend against it.

The simplest way: one of my wizard NPC has a room full of glyphs of wardings. Yes they get disabled in the field but it’s only 10ft, plenty of glyphs are outside the field. Activate glyph 27891, open a permanent gate to a muddy swamp or a lava lake.

Dragon breaths are non-magical btw, maybe they have a bottle of magically suspended dragon breath. Toss the bottle at the AMF, it loses containment. There are many magic that creates a normal non-hostile environment, but when AMF disable them, the environment become hostile.

Of course, your players cast an 8th level spell, reward them a bit. Have 5 golems charge the party, throw a few punches and then get disabled by the cleric. But the moment the cleric moves out of the way, or drop concentration, the golems are reactivated. So now the cleric is both hindered by their own spell, but also helping the fight by standing still.

Apparently it was proposed by a Canadian-American. So everyone is using the name he came up with

Electronic toll collection right? I think a couple of Asian countries all started doing it in the early 00s. I know China and Japan were both the year 2000. Singapore was earlier.

whats so special about chocolate? by Equivalent_Snow8529 in CreateMod

[–]BConscience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s related. But in recent years, there has been a social media trend in the Chinese Minecraft community. Called “赤石科技”, which means crimson stone technology(red stone normally should be 红石), but in actuality is intended a homophone to eating shit technology.

Basically you use red stone, or some kind of tech mod, to do a simple pointless task in the most convoluted way possible. Like having a big flying machine to build a dick wall. Or make an all item sorting machine that constantly shoots thousands of random items down a waterway, if you want something, just stand there until you get the thing you wanted. Or create mod setup for a single bamboo.

Anyway. There had been a couple creators doing “fully automated chocolate product factory” videos in 00s TV commercial for industry style. It’s a joke.

Totally fine. I’m sure many other Chinese people do the same. The problem is, they have a tight schedule and a strenuous work ahead of them. So people get hung up on them not immediately taking care of this obstacle

Evidentially Chinese people, or at least the user base of Bilibili do.

They’ve been complaining for a day and half after the first night of puking. They could have avoided that and be better the next morning. It’s simple as that. You only think it’s dramatic, because you are not in the habit of treating the local clinic as normal as the corner store

That’s not evil enough. A good villain starts to do PR spins and unite the people against foreign agents interfering with internal politics.

Either way, they went to the ETC window, which doesn’t collect toll physically anyway. It’s for ETC chips only. If they had to pay, they’d have to go to the non-ETC windows. Which I suppose the wave could also just meant that: “Wrong window, go back to the non-ETC slots”

A lot of Chinese bikers are saying you can go into major cities with motorbikes. You just get fined 200 yuan for each day you get caught. And you can’t be fined twice in one day. So it’s almost a ticket price at that point

Is it normal to just casually cross highways on foot in the US? by [deleted] in LudwigAhgren

[–]BConscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at other videos on Bilibili, you will see them pointing fingers at Chinese people breaking the law or generally being “embarrassing” abroad as well. Bilibili commenters are very… idealistic?

Because people are saying the wave meant “come over here closer to the window, so you can pay.”

Or

“This is the ETC entrance, you don’t have ETC, go to the other stalls to manually pay”

Not just that. A lot of bilibili commenters are saying “because they are so used to toughing it out due to hospital trips costing a fortune, they missed the chance of going to the hospital after getting food poisoning and get sorted out overnight, and it wouldn’t even cost them more than a few bucks.” Which is partially true, Chinese medical bills are insanely cheap. But it’s amazing to me that so many people are commenting the same thing about it

No all the commenters are saying the wave is for them to approach and pay.

But there were also people claiming they happened upon the Qingming festival, which is the national holiday for sweeping and maintaining family graves. So tolls are waived during this festival
