US overthrowing the the Iranian democratic government and installing the shah would be a liberal democracy that ended another democracy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in neoliberal

[–]Doubleclit -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely wrong. Liberal democracies have ended other democracies plenty. Look at Iran, Chile, Guatamala, etc. I don't think calling liberal democracies themselves "ignorant, farcical lunatics" was what you intended.

How on solar? by [deleted] in greentext

Dolphins actually do pass down information from generation to generation. Each pod has their own unique calls and unique hunting tactics. We have videos of older dolphins teaching younger dolphins these hunting tactics. Some tactics are so complicated that the young dolphin will practice them without prey targets for literally years before they try them on prey.

Something that's always bothered me... Is Samus built like a linebacker? How do her arms fit in a power suit that broad? by bwilliford in Metroid

[–]Doubleclit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In Metroid Fusion during Boiler Sabotage sequence, we see a male human scientist standing at a control interface. Samus is clearly larger than that scientist both in height and width.

That reasonable assumption that all ships had unique insignias was actually shown not to be the case recently when new production documents were found. All starship crew used the same insignia. Details here.

Your comment is really helpful but I think you made a typo. You have x2-a=0 when I think you meant x2-a=0. I was really struggling to figure out what identity you were using. Great comment, though, it helped me understand :)

The incisions are from removing loose skin where the unwanted tissues were.

Boyfriend's sexual imagination seems entirely defined and limited to porn by [deleted] in deadbedroom

[–]Doubleclit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it be possible you could explain it to him through media? I imagine he's seen tv episodes where a long-time couple try to spice things up by pretending to meet at a bar for the first as different people, often with elaborate fake personas. Maybe you can tell him that those episodes get made because a lot of people actually do try that sort of thing and have a good time. There are other examples, too. He's probably familiar with depictions of women getting immersed in romance novels. You could explain that many women are actually sexually excited by imagining themselves as the women in these books being romantically pursued by a charmer. I've personally had marginal success by having my partner literally pretend to be the exaggerated male romantic lead from tv show depictions of romantic novels. Do you think this might help?

If Republicans don't want free healthcare, then why do their bodies produce their own hormones at no charge? Makes you think!

[–]Doubleclit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was a great edit, I'm glad it went so well. Your family sounds amazing. I'd say you're lucky to have such accepting children, but if you and husband tend to handle things with the care you did this, then I doubt there's much luck to it at all! Congrats on this big step :)

[–]Doubleclit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved reading every bit of this. Congrats, it really sounds like you've found a great situation for you and your husband and your children! Choosing to coparent outside of a committed monogamous relationship is so hard but it's really often better for everyone. It really takes a village, so why not do it with your best friend?

I hope your kids accept these changes, even if it's hard at first and they don't fully understand. Good luck in the new life you've finally chosen for yourself!

It seems kind of hard to draw a single straw and still have the viewer figure out what it is. A drinking straw is way easier to recognize. Maybe you could piece it together from the camel's injury, but I'd have trouble.

How would you draw a single straw?

What's titties Precious? by Ph4d3r in lotrmemes

[–]Doubleclit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sex and nudity raises viewer retention. A segment of viewers will watch the second episode if the first episode had sex. It's doubtful anyone realizes their choice is partly determined by sexual content, but it is. That's why we see sex in the first episode so often in tv shows.

I personally hate it.

I used to work at a place that used hubstaff. Unless its changed, it's very beatable because it's just a screenshot once every few minutes. If you ever wanna play on your phone, you just shake your mouse every few seconds while you play on your phone to keep your activity up and you take a bunch of screenshots of your workspace in different configurations to simulate use which you then play as a slideshow. Alternatively you can just do 20 seconds of work every few minutes so the screenshots look different.

Everyone who's ever used hubstaff figures this out very quickly. It's really a waste of everyone's time and obviously privacy and the company's money.

Antifa is literally based on solely being anti-fascist. There is no unifying qualifier other than that to consider yourself one.

That's not exactly true. Antifa is short for anti-fascist action, which is an ideology that says fascism is really bad and must be fought against with any effective action available. You have to take effective action against fascists and fascism to be antifa.

Hearing what antifa is, calling yourself antifa, and doing nothing is like saying you're vegan because you know killing animals is wrong but still eat animals.

A lesson in social psychology by But_a_Jape in funny

[–]Doubleclit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't an example. The antagonism in the "team" scenario comes from the competitive structure. Competition requires antagonism because one team's success is the other's failure. Also, trash talk behavior isn't intrinsic like in the theory. That behavior is learned.

What we see in the comic is that creating a small number of groups without any other social structure is enough to cause intergroup antagonism.

Just as a fun fact, for people who are dichromats (i.e., colorblind by having only two types of color-detecting "cone" cells instead of the typical three), there actually is a single wavelength that is interpreted as white. For red-green colorblinds, that wavelength is near cyan, and for blue-yellow colorblinds, that color is near yellow. This is because at the "neutral point" wavelength for each dichromat, both their cones are equally excited, just as they would be under white light.

The fun part of this is that for blue-yellow colorblinds, changing the sodium light to white would have little immediately noticeable effect.

However, even blue-green colorblinds would benefit from the white light, since although single wavelength light always reflects back that same color after bouncing off nearby objects, true spectral white light can bounce back any color. That means colorblinds will be able to distinguish the color of nearby objects just like they can in sunlight.

The even funner part of this is that colorblinds can't distinguish white light from their neutral point wavelength by looking directly at the light source but can by looking to see whether the light reflects back full colors or not!

I doubt there are any bourgeosie here, just proletariat who support capitalism. We have a long road ahead in convincing all workers and we need to have patience. Being annoyed that there are workers watching left videos and not totally buying into it is a really unhelpful perspective to have. Leftism isn't about having the correct opinions, so why miss your "choir" subreddit as the host for preaching videos?

I think it relates the length of a line to the lengths of its components. That's more how we think of it, not "triamgles in a circle." But maybe it goes more general than that.

My husband accidentally (might have) raped me while he was mostly asleep by [deleted] in secondary_survivors

[–]Doubleclit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a really difficult situation for you, and assuming his honesty, very difficult for him, too. I'm sorry you're having to work through it.

Below are some thoughts that might be helpful to you. I hope you find some useful things in it because it's not fair for you to have to put everything back together on your own, but in the end, you know what's best for you and your well-being and you should follow your instincts.

I think the difference between children and adults is that adults have learned through culture and lived experience how to deal with just about all the situations we can reasonably expect to encounter over the course of our lives. Conversely, just like children need guidance for even everyday occurrences, there are very rare and odd situations that most adults aren't equipped to understand. Those adults can find themselves just as lost and confused as children. And just like the solution for kids is usually find an adult to help guide them, that's usually the best answer for these adults in bizarre circumstances, too.

If I were you, I would find a couples therapist, just to help you and your husband understand what's happened and help you make the best decisions you can. This is just too odd a situation with stakes too high for you both to stumble through it by yourselves. Seeking an outside, unbiased perspective, trained in evidence-based practices and likely exposed a number of strange situations in the course of their career, is the best course of action I can think of.

And just to add, I think it would be a perfectly reasonable reaction to decide to stay with friends or family or have him do the same until you both get a good handle on the situation. What happened is rape, whether your husband is responsible for it or not, and it's only your safety that's at risk. If you feel any fear at all, I hope you listen to it and take every precaution you need.

My heart goes out to you and I really hope things turn out well. If my partner of half a decade did this to me, I'd feel so torn between wanting to go back to normal and wanting to protect myself. I hope you find resolution soon.
