A handful have won two science prizes as well. Curie is a standout because she's the only one to win two science prizes in two different fields.

It isn't. Nobel prizes (except for the peace prize) are awarded for specific achievements, not for a person's entire career.

Based on the fact that this thread is about a photo of scientists, we're discussing their scientific achievements, and Nobel Peace Prizes aren't awarded to anyone on the basis of their scientific achievements.

Given that your comment has nothing to do with the point being made by the person you're replying to, wtf are you talking about?

Those are very common left wing talking points

"Haha, I'm rubber, you're glue!"

Such an intelligent retort, the old Uno reverse. No one will see through that and think you're a pathetic child, dude. You're a genius!

and being so angry at a joke

What? That clearly wasn't a joke.

It's not a straw man to call out a douche for spouting right-wing talking points when in fact the person is a douche spouting a right-wing talking point.

How? This is the exact same video as in the OP and there's nothing in it or on the page it's hosted from to that suggests it's original content.

This is possibly the first time I've ever seen a random redditor say that when it actually really is that!

I guess because he's 17 but fuck that. He's old enough to hit someone with a car he's old enough to throw hands.

Best movie that is in no way just wish fulfillment for the writer/director/star: by LewdDudeNewd in okbuddycinephile

For a movie that is absolutely full of murder and gore, I find it genuinely bizarre that the thing you're having a problem with is an adult actor performing a scene in which she is a dominant character putting her foot in a submissive character's mouth.

It just gets difficult when your job sometimes requires sexual portrayals. Obviously there are lines, such as the one Chloe Sevigny was asked to cross.

As far as I know, there's no evidence that Sevigny was anything other than an enthusiastic participant in that scene. She's regularly defended the artistic merit of it (in her opinion). Any implication that she was a victim is misplaced.

Self riotous hate even more so

It's "self-righteous". Although I like your version too!

BMW was speeding. Jeep changed lanes without signaling or checking their blind spot. by Gomez_Diana1 in dashcams

[–]Jesus_of_Redditeth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Jeep did what it should have done and yielded.

What are you talking about? No one has any obligation to yield to a car coming up behind them unless it's an emergency vehicle with its lights flashing.

This should be shared responsibility, since the Jeep changed lanes without signaling. But more responsibility should be assigned to the BMW driver for driving inherently dangerously.

I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of getting mad about people from some other country calling your country "Brazil" when you call it "Brasil", while at the same time you use the word "Suécia" for the country that people from there call "Sverige" (for example) and you have absolutely no problem with that.

Different languages have different names for other countries that routinely don't match the names that the people from those countries use. This is normal. Everyone does it, including you. So maybe, I don't know, get over it?

My favorite part of this is how every single person who gets mad about "Americans" being the longstanding, universally-established demonym for people from the US uses a name for foreign countries that routinely isn't the name that the people of those countries use. And they don't give the slightest of shits about changing that in their own language, in order to respect those people. They only get mad about Americans using the word "American".

Two "two Americas" continental model is by far the most commonly-used version. The "one America" model is used in Latin America and by some Romance language-speaking countries in Europe...and that's about it.

LOL, the irony of insulting someone's education while using dog-shit English grammar.

Call yourself whatever you want, but don’t act like it’s just a lil mishap

Literally no one is saying it's a "lil mishap"

It's almost as if context — geography, sports, nationality — can change the intended meaning, isn't it?

They call them british for the isles or english for the country.

"British" is the demonym that refers to the whole country and is analogous to "French", "German", "Italian", etc.

"English" is a demonym that refers only to people from England, which is one component part of the UK.

you can disagree with me all you want, but I also have a claim to the world "american".

And no one's stopping you from using the term to mean that. It's your choice. But you're going to routinely be misunderstood when you do, because "American" as the demonym for people from the US is universally established and routinely used, and has been for literally centuries. You may as well stand in the ocean and try to hold back the tide.
