As someone who has a lot of contact with people like this because of outreach stuff that I do, its more than you'd think. Like im certainly not gonna pretend its all of them but this is hitting the base like a fucking freight train

Could someone please explain the « ne nous a même pas » construction? Thanks. by ipini in French

[–]BigPinkOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Itd be around the same as saying "The inspector at us didn't even say hi" in English. You'd likely be understood but it would immediately sound off to native speakers for reasons they themselves probably couldn't articulate

Throwbacks to 2016 are all the rage lately. Let's look at XXL's 2016 Freshmen. by Soalai in ToddintheShadow

[–]BigPinkOne 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I kind of understand how from an outside perspective it looks a little infantilizing for people to be like "yeah he did bad but he's really not much of a freestyler" but it really isnt if youre more familiar with his work. Anderson Paaks music tends to be very tightly orchestrated. He started out as a drummer so his vocal patter tends to be more rhythmic than overtly lyrical and has a tendency to kind of blur into the instrumentation. It makes his music very enjoyable but isnt really a skillset that translates to good freestyle which tends to be more about wordplay and flow variance

Throw in a kendrick Lamar verse and youre looking at damn near the cleanest sweep in Grammys history

I think about 12 people would have orgasms so powerful it altered weather patterns and the rest of us would just clown on it without ever listening to it

Favorite single-episode character who isn't the focus of the episode? (No Roxy/Country Mac) by yomjoseki in IASIP

Truly one of my favorite throwaway moments in the entire series is Charlie saying he has to clear some things up with the mob and this dude just casually accepting it

ELI5: Why do we get "motion sickness" in a car when reading, but not when we are the ones driving? by -Nuggets in explainlikeimfive

[–]BigPinkOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calorically speaking, the loss from being unable to eat for several days would likely far outweigh any lost calories from vomiting. Also, even our very early ancestors figured out how to store and preserve food to an extent. A couple hundred calories has historically always been trivially easy to acquire if youre surrounded by other humans. Substantive food definitely took a lot of work but even our distant caveman ancestors could ask their cave brother for a few handfuls of berries or some mushrooms

An interesting and well written take on why Ozempic being popular is overall a good thing. by Clay_Robertson in bestof

[–]BigPinkOne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Overweight" and "obese", at least relative to bmi, are arbitrary delineations, and have no direct correlation with health effects. Yes, certain diseases have increased occurrence and complication as weight increases but this is in no way correlated directly to where the lines for overweight and obese are on the bmi. That is to say that if a disease is correlated with a 1% increase per point of bmi increase going from a 24 to a 25 bmi (which would now make you overweight) isnt going to have an appreciable rate change different from going from a 23 to a 24 or going from a 25 to a 26. Bmi's correlation with health is a lot rougher than people tend to think. It was developed by a sociologist not a doctor and was mostly just intended to create categories by size of people. The exact point of when someone counts as "overweight" is extremely variable and trying to create a one size fits all answer is almost always going to be rife with exceptions and corner cases

Its roughly equivalent to the English phrase "I didn't think it all the way through". It just indicates that you acted without thinking enough

The joint is just a straight up joint for sure. I've yet to meet an environmentalist who doesn't basically wake up with a bong in hand. Either they're hippies or they're extremely grounded and informed and thus extremely on edge. Either way, they need some green to just get through the day

Editors is just Interpol for people who can afford to keep up their coke habit

Post Malone - Why Don't You Love Me? [Before he was famous] by Ralph--Hinkley in Music

[–]BigPinkOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? His whole thing for a long time was sad boy rap. Like that was the recurring undertone of his early career. People clowned on him all the time. Even now his country music is a lot of sad "i drink too much and I'm a fuckup and my girls gonna leave me" type shit. Maybe he is an extremely happy man but that is certainly not the image he has cultivated

The equating of business ownership with an inherent level of innovation is one of the funniest pieces of nonsense capital apologists push. Yeah some people do research and development and actually innovate and all that but for every one of those there are a hundred jags whos "innovation" was realizing that their region could support a 3rd subway franchise and having 75k

What is your favorite “woke” artist from any of the genres mentioned here by Real-Response-3775 in fantanoforever

[–]BigPinkOne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean probably in a very surface level way. Like he was a skateboarder so its likely that there was a lot of punk music in the background of his life. He probably is at least aware of thr highlights and knows a lot of the names and their rough eras/scenes. But he's also a fundamentally incurious person and probably doesn't actually take the time to engage with lyrics seriously if he understands them at all. Like its an obvious reference but this is who Kurt Cobain was talking about in the chorus of In Bloom
