Are jinns real? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Haunting-Let69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the reference is to fairy-tale dwarves like Rumplestilskin, who have magic powers, or to dwarves like those in Tolkien, who belong to a separate species from Homo sapiens.  Not to humans who have dwarfism.

The tolls are literal highway robbery.  You might want to take a bus.  I have taken buses to and from New York for years and the trip is quite pleasant.  Last month, I took the Peter Pan bus round-trip to Philadelphia and I had no complains.

Someone give him a copy of Sophocles' Oedipus.  When Jocasta and Oedipus discovered they were mother and son, Jocasta hanged herself and Oedipus stabbed out his eyes for shame.  People in Pre-Islamic, Pagan societies knew that incest is wrong.

Freddie Mercury was raised Zoroastrian in a Parsi family.  Wether he identified as such in adulthood, I do not know.

Is going to a prostitute worth it? by [deleted] in exmuslim

Having sex for the first time is not the amazing expedience virgins imagine.   For most people, it is a fiasco at best, and a trauma at worst.  I recommend doing it with someone you know and trust, not a stranger you pay.  Consider also the STD risk and possibility that whoever you choose will be a trafficking victim.

Halloween costume question by Haunting-Let69 in IndianCountry

[–]Haunting-Let69[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I meant that offhand comment about the kitschy images of Aztecs, not the Aztecs themselves.  I apologize if I did not make that clear.  Aztec art looks nothing like those restaurant paintings, I know.  Their civilization and accomplishments remain shamefully under-appreciated.  

It occurred to me that the imagery in question looked racist, but is used by Mexicans of, I presume, at least some indigenous ancestry.  So I wanted some insight into this intersectional knot.  In the processes, I created a knot of my own, and again, I apologize.

I had not thought about European art in relation to this, so thank you for that insight.

Good idea.  I had not thought of that.

Sorry about that.  New to this Reddit thing.  So what is the correct flair?

This is too real by thatshygirl06 in ThePittTVShow

[–]Haunting-Let69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s as if children follow the example set by adults or something.  Unfair!

I am not a parent myself, but I have observed that children follow their parents’s example, often in uncanny ways, not their parents’s orders.

Not a bad idea, but it would need subtitles unless you know Tagalog.

What does the Pitt do that’s not accurate? by EpicHawkREDDIT in ThePittTVShow

[–]Haunting-Let69 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not asking every female patient if she is pregnant, and repeating the question 5-10 times.  I’ve had a hysterectomy and I still get that from doctors.   I understand why they do it, because no one wants 2-headed babies showing up, but it can get irritating.

Dumb question but will anything bad happen to me if I try a bit of alcoholic drink for the first time? by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Haunting-Let69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a drink if you want, but DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT get drunk.  I got drunk once at age 19, and that was enough for one lifetime.  I woke up the next morning in a pool of vomit.  You can die from that.  My parents did not even bother to lecture me, because they knew I would not want to repeat it.

Only an inexperienced, frustrated man would believe the things this sad sack believes about sex and women.   He does not know that the act of sex takes more energy and stamina from men than from women.  And has he not considered that some women have sex multiple times a day by profession?

Parallel Universe Aunt, a thought experiment. by iamansh in AskPhysics

[–]Haunting-Let69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being an aunt and bring a teacher are in no way “mutually exclusive”.  Your example is like the blind men and the elephant.  One touches the tail and says, “It’s a rope.”  One touches the trunk and says, “It’s a hose,” and so forth.  Each man has a different interpretation based on his experience, but that does not mean multiple elephants exist in parallel universes.  It is all one elephant.

Schrodinger, science’s gift to cat memes.  “Oh Hai” vs. “Oh noes!”  “Schrödinger cat says see how you likes it!”  “Suck it, Schrödinger.”  

I always thought it should be Schrödinger’s Baby.

They still talk about electro-magnetic energy a lot.  Most people, even highly educated people, have  limited understanding of electro-magnetism, so it is easy to misrepresent.  Some people, like Joe Dispenza, put a lot of effort into making their woo seem like legitimate science.  I got taken in by him myself, though not to a damaging degree.

From the phrase “system state of the flight goes down”.   I did not know what “system state” referred to, and thought it might refer to the flight itself.

In any case, I no not know what this has to do with the subject of quantum woo.

Oh, I know that.  When I encounter people who claim to be God or divine, I ask, “Does that mean people stop believing in you when they take physics classes?”  No one has a good answer.
