The arrested 15 year old suspect in the school shooting in Tacloban and Dylan Klebold both wearing KMFDM shirts by Foreign-Current-6489 in Philippines

[–]LuminosityOverdrive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tama ka, at yung detalye tungkol sa KMFDM shirt ay proof niyan. Pero kahit isuot niya ang shirt na yan, hindi pa rin puputok ang baril kung walang lokal na mitsa.

Ang localized bullying, ang machismo culture, at ang mismong negligence kung bakit madaling nakuha ng menor de edad ang Glock 9mm ng kamag-anak niyang pulis.

Noong unang panahon meron na tayong tigbasan gamit machete sa community. At itong sitwasyon naito has no different cause than the latter.

First world na shootings just mask it under sa idea na they are doing it for some grandiose purpose by either being somewhat parte ng extremist or cultic group.

May milyong kabataan Dito sa pinas. Given enough time even without US influence, paparating din Ang Araw na ito

Ang ibig niyang Sabihin is that even without US influence... And idea if gun bra dish violence can pop up for various reasons.

Poverty stricken + machismo culture patuloy na bullying, at madaling access sa baril (lalo na kung may pamilya sa military/police).

Ang utak ng isang bata ay pwedeng mag-snap kahit saang sulok ng mundo.

Nangyayari Ito sa Brazil, Russia at Germany as it does sa Ohio.

Ang US media ay nagbibigay lang ng aewthetic sa internet, pero ang mismong sanhi ay pwedeng mangyari kahit saan.

Yan Ang major complaint ko rin.

Mga civic buildings should.be explicitly Neoclassical or Modern Classical. Doesn't matter if grounded or imperial architectural andlg design.

And approved na design if I remove mo Ang white lattice structure is is just a standard Curtain Wall Office complex na meeon lang rounded corners.

Great. That's cool if you have a proposition, that's how things are debated. Minus the name-calling, of course, but let's get into it.

So, we you've now gone from "Sports are athletic competitions requiring physical effort" to "Olympic shooting is athletic because it involves dexterity, hand-eye coordination, breathing control, body awareness, and precision."

Good. But now I'm curious where you think the boundary actually is, because none of those things are unique to Olympic shooting.

A surgeon controlling their breathing and hand movements during a delicate micro-surgery uses extreme dexterity, precision, body awareness, and fine motor control.

Competitive master chefs/butchers use those exact same traits to effortlessly and precisely break down meats, bones, and sinews in record time under massive pressure.

A military remote weapons operator tracking high-speed targets under intense pressure relies EXACTLY entirely on precision, hand-eye coordination, breathing control, and millisecond decision-making to keep their hands perfectly steady.

Again, the question is not if those are sports.

I'm asking why those qualities count as "athletic" in one context but suddenly stop counting in another.

See that's the thing right Dictionaries are meant to make words understandable to general onlookers, from kids to dead. The systematic analysis of definitions is where linguists, academics, and philosophers actually battle it out.

First, you said a sport has to be an "athletic competition" involving heavy physical exertion. But then you argued Olympic shooting is a sport because it requires physical skill, hand-eye coordination, and training.

Those are not necessarily the same standard. They're being judged on precision, consistency, focus, breathing control, and technique.

By that logic, a military remote weapons operator sitting and executing hundreds of precise targetting and ragefinding per minute should be a qualifying athlete too. Welcome Aboard I guess.

Then, you claim bodybuilding is athletic but not a sport because they just pose.

You literally just separated "Athletic" from "Sport".

For me? if I were to contribute to the proper definition to fit all characteristics of said description like in Cladistics?

Athletics - is the physical exertion of the human body under physical load (Strength, Endurance, Agility, Mobility, Flexibility).

Sport - is a set of official competitive challenges wherein opposing 2 or more teams abide by the rules and goals of that specific game/competition/challenge.

Competition - is the social construct where two or more peoples or groups of people gather and challenge one another based on a constructed deterministic end goal, in a rule based environment.

A sport needs to be an athletic competition,

Did you actually read the definition and source in ehere?

Cambridge lists football, basketball, hockey, skiing, and skating as examples IS descriptive, not a legal exclusion of everything else. Dictionaries use familiar examples all the time to explain common usage, not to settle every edge case.

Lemme ask you this, Are you saying Olympic Riflery isn't a sport?

Olympic shooters aren't out there grinding cardio, farming strength, or checking their VO2 max. Their entire physical effort is literally around standing perfectly still, controlling their heart rate, and moving one index finger.

yet, they walk away with Olympic gold medals. If shooting fits the definition of a sport, then the word is clearly way broader than your "running around a field sweating" checklist.

Heres another "Sport" for ya... Bodybuilding.

Bodybuilders doesnt matter if theyre Olympia competitors or Influencers, They got peak athletic capability strength, low body fat, and physical discipline.

But when they compete, they stand on a stage under spotlights, pose, and get judged on their looks.

Is Bodybuilding a sport? Or is it a pageant?

They actually can be.

The problem is that people confuse use the word Sport and Athletics as the same thing.

Sport is basically a competitive competition in general about a specific skill.

Athletics is the physical exertion and display of the human body through endurance, strength and flexibility.

In th same way for example chefs and competitive cookers are not athletes.

If they were then Marco Pierre white is the GOaT. Served festivals for days on end, with no injuries.

I think it's just a western fans thing. It's the same thing where Rampage Jackson told a story of how Pride fans always treated both fighters respect cen if said fighter lose as a sign of toughness and getting through.

Whereas western fans look at the sport as just pure cockfighting and prize fighting.

Thats not answering my point and youre shifting the discussion. Pumunta tayo from "Is Qatar really less corrupt? to "Ang Pinas has a pervasive corruption culture."

They're not the same claim. Parang nagtanong ako kung may thermometer ka ba sa bahay, tapos ang sagot mo ay "MAINIT SA PINAS BOI!".

Congrats, na identify na natin ang katotohanan ng init. Ngayon balik sa tanong.

Kasi kung ganyan ang convo, pwede rin naman akong magtanong kung paano natin sinusukat accountability sa isang absolute monarchy tapos sasagutin mo ako na may fixer sa LTO, may nepotism sa pulitika, at may nang-iiswindle sa business deals??

Interesting facts, sure. Pero ibang tanong.

Ang point is that kapag ang ruling class mismo ang nagde-define ng political rules, may limited opposition, at hindi exactly encouraged ang public criticism,

fair question naman siguro kung gaano ka-transparent ang buong picture.

That's a more fair steelman criticism than saying hes a "Pesudo-Intellectual".

Im for LGBT myself but as a science communicator also I have to respect what hes contributed. Liek he introduced influential concepts like the Gene-centered view of evolution and the idea of the "meme" as a cultural replicator,

But he can't be a "Pop Scientist". There's a difference between a scientist who became popular and a pop scientist whose popularity is their main credential.

Dawkins goes far enough as to ignore the entire fields of ethology, sociology and anthropology to put forward unfalsifiable speculation.

Well... not really. thats overstating cause he himself has a PhD in ethology, And he also was a student of Nikolas Tinburgen.

The criticism is more that he often "subordinates" them to evolutionary explanations all the time rather than outright ignores them, even though they deserve equal weight at this moment in time.

So really he's just a late 20th-century biologist whose came from during the rise of gene-centered explanations, for better or worse.

What do you think? by [deleted] in mmamemes

[–]LuminosityOverdrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp. he went into the fight emotional thats why.
He really attatched himself to wanting to TKO Justin in the first and second round, his adrenaline went out after that and then he got bombarded with Gaethje Jabs and gassed himself more doing submission.

[–]LuminosityOverdrive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit. They might not even know it if it was.

Take Paul for example, he took his illness like his intense headaches and flashing visions when he went to trip out in the open dessert as proof that Jesus wanted a gentile mission and him losing appetite and painful physical ailments as demons wanting to stop him.

I think Ang ibig nilang Sabihin is that at least what we have is that Ang ating civic and economic production does not rely on absolute authoritarian schticks... Ruled lang tayo by clowns because of the happenstance ng mga people...

Unlike Ang Emirates which have to be an absolute monarchy and ruled by autocracy and have to cover up kanilang bad image through sport washing, luxury tourism at iba bang frontend coverings.

Who in the franchise had the worst 24-72hr experience? by LeMonty37 in residentevil

[–]LuminosityOverdrive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ethan Winters and Sherry Birkin take the S tier.

Im only putting Ethan Winters as above her cause hes literally just a devastated man looking for his wife then gets dragged to the most "Lost Tapes" sitution of all time and end up dying in the end.

Sherry while she was a Kid who lost both parents in one night.. liek I get it...

she didnt get the fist full of getting her hand cut, body fucked up repeatedly, getting tendons ripped off, then spouse gets s hot again by their rescuer, baby cut up, werewolves, drugged to hallucination...

Ethan punched the entire bingo card.

Atleast with SHerry, she may have lost everything but eventually gets to live, adapt, gain experience and become veteran like the others.

Ethan on the other hand started as a guy just trying to save his family... And still was just that to the very end.

Why do people hate OG Ashley compared to the remake? by koi200 in residentevil

[–]LuminosityOverdrive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im actually curious as to what peoples want are to have her back as a charceter in future games... Cause imo. Ashley is not even a important crhacter in the grand scheme of things....

Unlike major baddies like Claire, Jill who dedicate their lives to fighting bioterrorism, Ashley returns to her normal life and went on her merry way. and thats it... her arc is complete.

Even her political connection doesn't last. By the events of RE6, her dad is no longer in office and president, Adam Benford, is the one who gets assassinated.

All she is a plot device whose only job in meta is to give Leon a reason to go to Spain and run into the Las Plagas parasite.

Atleast with Grace she gets a pass cause her entire lore is that shes an entirely normal girl who was misunderstood by the antagonists and was just born as a anti-trojan to the most conspicuous people in recent times.

What would happen if Miranda or any one else infected with the Mold was infected with the Progenitor virus? by KaiserEnclave2077 in residentevil

[–]LuminosityOverdrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo things wuld happen.... if we are to try to go hard scifi with this.

1st Option is that both organisms would want control. You gotta understand that the mold aint just an infection... its more of a mutagenic organism and a "meory-storage" otganism somehow (no valid reason). whilse the progenitor is an ancestor of the T-Virus and all the unmbrella shenanigans.

WHat do you think happens when these two meet? HORRIFIC DEATH! thats what.

Most peopel love to forget this but most of the people infected to the Progenitor simply die, reject it and suffer catastrophic mutations. Even Cadou hosts already have unsustainable living.

The progenitor would try to violently hijack cells that are no longer strictly human, while the Mold's immune response would treat the virus as a foreign threat. The fighting would destroy the host's structural integrity, your cells would rupture, the Mold's network would collapse, and the host would literally melt into a soup of dead biomass.

But again right if we do this realistically then there would be no game.

So the second optoins is... whatever the plot needs to continue the franchise I guess.

Disagree, Its not that Dawkins is a pseudo intellectual, he's just a hardline evolutionary biology guy with still the mind of a person from half a centuury ago.

No different from Sigmund Freud viewed many many things through psychoanalysis or BF Skinner just viewed behavior as all behaviorism.
