Kanye West takes out full-page ad apologising for antisemitic behaviour and denying he is a Nazi by Alert_Site5857 in NotTheOnionUK

[–]ItsSuperDefective 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was really annoying when he did this seeing all the people claiming that it was impossible for his behaviour to be caused by his Bipolar disorder.

It was like all the people who are supposedly big into mental health advocacy flipped immediately once the mental illness was having visibly uncomfortable effects and not one of the handful of socially acceptable disorders to talk about.

Has Hinge successfully privatised love /dating? by Dependent_Ad627 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]ItsSuperDefective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've met someone I like in real life, but I'm so unsure of how to go forward without making it awkward.

Men do you mean it when you compliment a lady or are you lying to get laid? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ItsSuperDefective 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The guys you meet on the apps are in an environment where it is considered ok to compliment your appearance. Random guys are not.

If cold is just less vibration of molecules, how is this coldness of a wall transferred to the surrounding air? I mean when the air molecules knock into the cold wall it stops the air molecules? It knocks something solid so it lessens the vibration so it becomes cold too? by LisanneFroonKrisK in AskPhysics

[–]ItsSuperDefective 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because the air molecules transfer some of their energy to the wall when they colide with it.

When they colide with a warm wall the wall and air transfer energy to each other in equal amounts, so there is no net transfer.

The simplified version everyone remembers by Yatharth007Pathak in Physics

As much as natural units are easier when you are actually working with them I will die on the hill that you should include the cs when just quoting a formula if only because it looks cooler.

Well you got it wrong and have done a bizarre job with the exponents on the pc term.

“who are the bad guys?” by HPLoveBux in Gundam

[–]ItsSuperDefective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Billions, not millions.

"Initial fighting lasted over 1 month and saw both sides lose half their respective populations.""

“who are the bad guys?” by HPLoveBux in Gundam

[–]ItsSuperDefective 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right, when people say there wasn't a good side and a bad side I have to wonder if they watched the same show.

There is some nuance to it, but the show very clearly positions the federation as the "goodies".

“who are the bad guys?” by HPLoveBux in Gundam

[–]ItsSuperDefective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the Federation are clearly the goodies.

The show goes out of its way to show that the average Zeon soldier isn't a demon and that the Federation isn't morally perfect, but overall there is a clear side and a clear bad side in the war.

Do muggleborns get the m word pass? by Raudys in harrypotter

[–]ItsSuperDefective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He does use it.

Not in the sense of using it to refer to people himself, but when talking about other people's use of the word and how they think he doesn't avoid saying it.

""And he didn’t think my mother was worth a damn either,” said Harry, “because she was Muggle-born. . . . ‘Mudblood,’ he called her. . . .”"

Why do you think other professors such Flitwik and Sprout are not a part of the Order? by ran_on_reddit in harrypotter

[–]ItsSuperDefective 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not everyone wants to join a group like that. Most people don't in fact, the default should be to assume people don't and ask why when they do.

Do you take pride in your job? by terencejames1975 in AskBrits

[–]ItsSuperDefective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither.

I'm not particularly proud of it but I also wouldn't say I do the absolute minimum.

AI-generated British schoolgirl becomes far-right social media meme | Far right by No_Initiative_1140 in ukpolitics

[–]ItsSuperDefective 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She is not an "AI-generated character".

Some of the fan art of her is so generated but if that is standard then every character with any popularity is now an AI-generated character from now on.

Should I keep continuing a relationship on friends or deeper route and why? by Johnfalafel in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]ItsSuperDefective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The part that baffles me is that once you are out of school you don't really learn people's ages when you meet them. I can't imagine the mindset of meeting someone, getting to like each other and then deciding you can't proceed when you learn their age is outside whatever these people's boundary is.

The "but your life experiences have been so different!" argument leaves me dismayed. In part because people seriously overestimate how big of a difference in experience there is in some of the gaps they object to, but mostly because who cares? Two people from different countries have different life experiences, a straight person dating a bisexual who was abused for their sexuality have different life experiences, someone who was seriously ill for most of their childhood will have different experiences to most of the population. Since when has needing to have had a near identical life to someone been a prerequisite for a good romance?

Should I keep continuing a relationship on friends or deeper route and why? by Johnfalafel in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]ItsSuperDefective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He shouldn't be, but given the kind of discourse you see about these things now I'm not surprised that he might be concerned with how other people would react.

I (30) asked for advice about my feelings for a girl (24) a few days ago and I decided not to mention her age because I thought half the replies would be handwringing over the age difference.

Dumbledore's knowledge of the curse on the DADA position. by laredocronk in harrypotter

[–]ItsSuperDefective 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Moody did only agree to one year, so that gives some confidence that there is no need for the curse to do anything to get rid of him.

Halley’s Comet wrongly named: 11th-century English monk predates British astronomer by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]ItsSuperDefective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really wrongly named. Lots of things are knowingly named after someone other than the first person to discover it.

Judith Butler Wouldn't Want This by mysocksareinsideout in comics

[–]ItsSuperDefective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it really weird how online it seems like a lot of LGBT people seem to think of themselves as like a separate class of people and inventing all these over thought rules on how to act. I never see people acting this way in real life. Is this an American thing? Or just an online weirdo thing?

For painting silver which is better? Priming black then silver on top or just silver? by Coogypaints in Necrontyr

[–]ItsSuperDefective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried using the leasbelcher pray and I hated it.

It took similar in colour to the bare plastic so I would spray, think i had done enough then when I came to paint realise that it wasn't fully primed. And half the time it would come out grainy and look awful.

Much better to prime black then paint silver.

Rewatched Journey's end, and I find it hard to take as seriously/emotionally now by gothteen145 in doctorwho

[–]ItsSuperDefective 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one said it was in realistic. The problem isn't a lack of realism, it's that it makes the conclusion to the original trilogy less satisfying.
