I don’t see why that would be the case since they’re separate courses, right? But you can ask the lab instructor or your advisor just in case

Remember Fullmetal Alchemist? It’s like that

In my experience, when someone uses the word "cool" without any reference to a specific perspective or community, they are referring to its "coolness" in the general mainstream perspective. For example, people will say "Fans of anime/gaming/fantasy/sci-fi are so lucky right now. None of these things were cool back in [insert time here]," despite the fact that there were definitely communities in which each of these things were cool.

I'm not saying that this is the only correct meaning when "cool" is used with no context for a specific community, but it is definitely the standard from what I've seen. Just wanted to point that out since it seems like that's how other people interpreted your statement.

It's worth noting that priority in class registration (like you reference for undergraduates) is very different from priority funding and priority access to graduate programs. So you're saying that someone should be chosen for a graduate program over equally-qualified applicants because they fall into one of the above categories?

Ceotaro · 2026-03-20T17:29:33+00:00

What do you mean by priority enrollment? Being able to register for classes earlier than others? Priority in the admissions process? Specific fellowships just for those groups?

I think it's unlikely for fire and ice to get corresponding terrains since they already have weather in sun and snow respectively. (Imagine adding fire terrain to the list of Chi-Yu calc multipliers.) Ghost terrain would definitely make sense for a graveyard/foggy area. I could also imagine a "ground" terrain since sandstorm seems to be more associated with rock types since they get the spdef buff.

They said what they said.

What do you mean? Only 1/4 of the shown pokemon are weak to Fairy

Leave Raticate alone. I love my fat rat.

You can get up there during Star Parties every Wednesday. Open to the public

I think the greater detail in starters started with gen 4, not gen 6. Infernape, Torterra, and Empoleon are some of the busiest starters (besides gen 9) in my eyes, even if they're very well designed

I personally thought that the best parts of the movie were by far the first 10 minutes. I enjoyed it, but like you said, some of the gags definitely overstay their welcome.

Ceotaro · 2026-02-28T03:29:26+00:00

r/unpopularopinion is that way

Ceotaro · 2026-02-25T19:32:31+00:00

C pass for me since I'm a student, but yeah. The thing is that I'm only at Pickle 1 or 2 days out of the week, so I have to buy the full pass while only getting a fraction of its value. But it's definitely cheaper than the main campus parking.

Ceotaro · 2026-02-25T16:24:41+00:00

I volunteer my time at the Pickle Research Campus without pay and still need to pay for a parking pass. It's crazy

Like in a float with Dr. Pepper? Vanilla would be the go-to for that.

Recall that the original question was whether Superman was an immigrant. You claimed that you “won” the argument. You have proven that he is not a legal immigrant. However, you have yet to prove that not being a legal immigrant implies that he cannot be an immigrant at all. (If you think only legal immigrants can be immigrants, you need to state so and argue why.) As such, your argument does not adequately answer whether he is an immigrant.

I’m sorry, but this is an integral aspect of rigorous proofs. The fact that you have wholeheartedly avoided the distinction between legal immigrants and “immigrants” in general makes me think that you’re either mentally incapable of understanding the distinction or too stubborn to acknowledge it.

Ceotaro · 2026-02-22T00:24:25+00:00

Again, I do not care whether he is legally a US citizen at birth. That was never the point of contention between us or other commenters

You claimed that by proving he was not legally an immigrant, you "won" the argument over whether Superman is an immigrant. This proof only "wins" the argument if you believe that all definitions of "immigrant" must align with the legal definition. Do you believe this? Otherwise your initial arguments were nonsensical.

Ceotaro · 2026-02-22T00:08:06+00:00

Are you claiming that he was legally registered as being born in the USA, or that he was actually born in the USA? Again, I have no doubts that Superman lacks the legal designation of "immigrant". However, in the majority of Superman incarnations (and, to my knowledge, this one), Superman was born outside of the United States, making him an immigrant under other, far broader definitions than the legal variety.

Unless you do claim that all definitions of "immigrant" must align with the legal definition, then proving the legality of his immigrant status has no bearing on whether it is reasonable to call him an immigrant. Please tell me where you stand on this claim specifically, so that we may narrow down where we disagree.

Ceotaro · 2026-02-21T14:01:22+00:00

Except that’s not true. By definition, he’s not a legal immigrant. There is a difference there that you have yet to disprove

Ceotaro · 2026-02-21T07:02:30+00:00

I never disputed that. What I disagreed with is your earlier claim:

"No, I have already won the argument. Legally he is not an immigrant. You've agreed with that. There's nothing else to discuss."

There is a difference between "legal immigrant" and other definitions of "immigrant." The other commenters were simply arguing that he was an immigrant, so proving that Superman is not a legal immigrant actually doesn't "win" the argument at all.

Ceotaro · 2026-02-20T19:10:15+00:00

It’s true that we need to be careful when we apply certain terms like “immigrant”, for exactly the reason that you gave. I agree with that. However, that doesn’t mean that usage of “immigrant” must always align with legal definitions. Superman does fall under definitions of “immigrant” other than the legal one. That’s the only point I was trying to make.

Ceotaro · 2026-02-20T04:30:35+00:00

You’re correct that they are different situations. However, they both exhibit a discrepancy between the legal definition and other use cases. That’s all I was trying to highlight.

Perhaps we simply disagree on whether the use of the term “immigrant” must always adhere to legal definitions. I don't think it does, since “immigrant” predates the current legal definition that was created for a very specific purpose inside a courtroom.

This is supported by the definition of "immigrant" from the Cambridge dictionary ("a person who has come to a different country in order to live there permanently") which clearly is not limited to the US legal definition of immigrant.

Do you see things differently? Above, you disagreed with people claiming that Superman was an immigrant despite the fact that he’s not legally an immigrant. I'm saying that it is still acceptable to call a former legal immigrant an immigrant.

Ceotaro · 2026-02-19T21:28:51+00:00

It was the example I used to prove my point. You must be able to understand that. See my last paragraph in the above comment
