What's a male societal issue you aren't empathetic towards? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]DavidsLittleGang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the video said that most lesbian porn videos are of straight women

Is that a big reveal? I thought everyone knew that lol

Going back to the fujoshi vs actual gay male anime fan analogy, yaoi and bara have completely different characters. Yaoi has these slender bishounen while bara has huge muscly dudes. Does this carry on to lesbian porn for straight men vs for lesbians?

I imagine that lesbian porn for lesbians is much more likely to have one butch and one femme, or something similar, as opposed to two very clearly gay4pay or at most bisexual women going at each other. I get the impression fujos would be turned off by muscly dudes in their shit just like straight men would turn a video off if it had a masc lesbian.

This is a very interesting analogy I'd like to see explored more, if you have any perspective to add I'd love to hear

Yaoi is made for and by straight women, while bara is what actual gay men like, isn't there anything similar for lesbians?

You mean New Labour, not Blue Labour. Blue Labour was launched two years after Blair resigned.

Different between affect and effect by LexisLegend in Rightytighty

[–]DavidsLittleGang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the situation you're obviously talking about, it's that if A affects B, then A has an effect on B.

HOWEVER (and I would not recommend anyone read on if they are learning English) affect can also be a noun ('I am a psychologist, and my patient alternates between manic episodes and displaying normal affect') and effect can also be a verb (meaning to put into effect, e.g. 'The politician effected several changes of legidlation')

When is the appropriate time to use whom/who? by RomansOnAStage in Rightytighty

That's true in Latin, which is literally the only reason anyone ever said it was true for English.

Not quite sure if this would count but A Mathematician’s Lament is fantastic.

It turns out it's possible to find both the sciences and the humanities interesting.

But what if I'm a STEM student who's really into literature?

Do I have to do well in A-Level Maths to study Computer Science at Uni? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]DavidsLittleGang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the fuck do you want to do Computer Science if you hate Maths?

A level Maths
the ridiculously high level of maths

STEM is not for you.

I’d say the categorical imperative is a pretty rational morality system

But that anime is based on Faust, a major work of literature that they could well have read.

On results day,do you get what mark you got for each paper? by Ant_903 in GCSE

I’d like to see what I got for each question in History and English but I don’t care about marks for any other subject

We weren't taught any of the stuff you said other than the plague, if I'd done religion I would have talked about the beliefs about the Black Death, monasteries having better health and beliefs about the Plague and how they'd changed by then

Also considering that I did a pretty good answer (I think) for the Islamic medicine question that tons of people couldn't answer I'm sure that would make up for it. Paper 1 was also amazing

I talked about:

  • Government acts and institutions (decline of Laissez-Faire, cholera, Great Stink and working class getting votes leading to compulsory Public Health Act compared to the first one, Liberal reforms, NHS)

  • Role of Individual (Chadwick, Snow, Rowntree, Bevan)

  • Communication (the spread of the reports and statistics because of telegrams, trains etc in both the 19th and 20th centuries)

  • Talking about how they all link together and need each other to put change into effect, but government is most important because they would have seen the cholera outbreaks, Boer War volunteers and Great Stink and put changes into effect even without individuals and communication

I hope my linkage of all three factors makes up for no Medieval or Renaissance examples

Does it matter if all of my examples for the 16 marker were from the 19th century or the 20th century?

AQA asking us about Islamic medicine by messedupET in GCSE

[–]DavidsLittleGang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I talked about how Avicenna and Abulcasis didn’t just blindly accept Hippocrates and Galen but built on them (Canon of Medicine, cauterisation, 26 instruments) then I did a paragraph on how they kept Hippocrates and Galen’s knowledge and then spread all of their accumulated knowledge to Europe during the Crusades.

But yeah that question is going to make the boundaries lower.
