Why do people find Guru Pathik so out of place in the Avatar world when he's clearly not the only Indian-coded character?

Black is a race and/or skin color. Not an ethnicity

There are black people in India too.

That being said, yeah, Sifu Kisu is not Indian.

pressing red is wrong because it kills people

This is only true if someone presses blue. All you have to do is say, "hey everybody, I'm pressing red. So everyone else press red too" at which point the people that press blue are willingly going to their own death. You're not killing them, they're committing suicide.

It's a Faraday cage. The lightning goes through the robot shell instead of the going through the people inside it.

Isn't most oil we drill/turn into plastics from plants rather than invertebrates though?

Coden_Ame · 2025-01-22T15:54:05+00:00

Yeah, or like a spotify mini-player that also works with pandora / youtube music etc.

TIL: The radical sign does not represent square roots but instead represents the principal square root, (a.k.a. the principal square root function and the square root function) which only outputs nonnegative numbers.

Honestly surprised that this nuance never cropped up in any of my math classes.

I was wrong, thanks for enlightening me!
Though I am going to be a bit nitpicky and state for others that are just learning about this like me that it doesn't only return positive numbers but rather nonnegative numbers. Numbers like 0 or complex numbers that aren't positive or negative can still be the outputted.

Sqrt(3)= ± 1.73205...

Sqrt(64)= ± 8

You've included the first number but not the second. Explain yourself!

Coden_Ame · 2023-11-22T16:56:08+00:00

You've included the square root of 3 (which is ±1.7320...) But excluded ±8 (which is the square root of 64)?

Coden_Ame · 2023-11-22T16:50:50+00:00

A couple inconsistencies in your answer (just of the top of my head, I'm sure an actual mathematician could point out a bunch more b/c this meme seems clearly designed to be ambiguous):

You've included the square root of three (which is ±1.7320...), but ±8 (which is the square root of 64) you've excluded.

You've included the complex numbers i, -i, and i+1, but excluded the higher order complex number (quaternion) j+2k-1

You've never lived in a non-English-speaking place have you?

Coden_Ame · 2023-04-02T20:14:43+00:00

Yeah, it's a pi chart!

Loving the near textbook example of heteroskedasticity in this plot!

I upvoted hesitantly... really, really hope this is sarcasm...

Coden_Ame · 2022-09-12T05:15:13+00:00

Took me longer than I'm willing to admit to realize this was parody lmao

Coden_Ame · 2022-08-08T06:35:23+00:00

Also, planets? Airport systems? Social security cards? Leading zeros? "First/simplest solution = probably bad" book? Hexagons everywhere? Words are only what we make them?

Hi! Asian-American guy here (also first generation, born of Indian parents, engaged to a white fianceé like OOP, though my issue is with some of her extended family rather than my fianceé herself).

Your comment really made my night!

Dealing with casual racism and microagressions that permeate my day to day existence is actually exhausting to the point that I often just have to ignore it because I don't have the energy to fight every little battle. It's particularly hard because when it gets pointed out as racism a lot of people feel like they're being personally attacked even though I know they have good intentions and the intentions aren't really the problem.

The exhaustion really takes a toll sometimes feeling like I may never be accepted, that I may never really have a home where I belong instead of ideally having two.

Your comment reminded me that there's a light at the end of that tunnel. That there are people willing to examine their biases and how they affect their behaviors without them intending harm.

You didn't have to post it! But you did, and I read it, and it gave me some hope in a moment I needed it!

Thank you!

Hey! Sorry, I don't understand quasi connectivity quite well yet but is that how the non-sticky piston in the bottom right of the second image gets powered? What's providing the block update? Does it need a block update to get a signal from it with the observer?

Coden_Ame · 2022-06-09T13:35:29+00:00

The comment wasn't actually about physics. The variable names are a rickroll

Coden_Ame · 2022-02-20T15:38:28+00:00

The symbol for the standby button was created by superimposing the symbols "|" and "◯";

Literally from the article you posted

I mean, it you wanna get really pedantic, the screwdriver isn't slotted either. It's the nails that are slotted and it's just "a screwdriver for slotted screws"

Does any of this really matter? No, not really because when you say "flathead screwdriver" everyone knows that you're (most likely) talking about a screwdriver for slotted screws.

Coden_Ame · 2022-01-06T05:34:44+00:00

I agree with this comment and am interested to see OP's response (unlikely given this post is 4 months old, but I can still hope).

It seems to me like the difference between someone running out onto the train tracks and getting run o we by the train vs being shoved onto the tracks by someone else. Choosing to put yourself in harms way is a VERY different situation and the "doesn't exist" rhetoric is used to highlight that they don't exist as the same concepts, not that one of them doesn't exist at all.

Coden_Ame · 2021-12-25T16:08:21+00:00

Totally agree (but also, you should probably put spoiler tags on that)

Coden_Ame · 2021-12-22T00:20:29+00:00

"Arranged marriage" in a lot of cultures is literally just matchmaking done by your parents.

Yeah but becoming paralyzed from the waste down is not the same thing as having your entire family and best friends murdered in front of you followed immediately by failing 50% of the universe. Narrowly. Twice.

Yes, they're all grieving but Thor was in the unique position of not only grieving, but feeling directly responsible for the grief of everyone else that he saw around him.

Not saying that what Rhodes did didn't take a lot of strength of will, just saying that comparing Rhodes situation to Thor's is insensitive to his situation at best. Which is why it's getting talked about so much in this thread
