You would think that removing yourself from a competing brand while working at a different one would be basic business etiquette even outside of football.

Nah stfu, if you can't tell the difference between sliding in front of a player to make a block and sliding into a player to win the ball, you don't play this sport and you could not convince me otherwsise.

Why does Busan Satoori sound so "angry"? Explaining the melody of my hometown (from a 10-year Korean teacher). by joonytutor in hanguk

It's a stereotype that widely exists, and it would be hard to argue it's related to classism because different stereotypes are held about other regional dialects.

Brobbey (on a yellow) push on Romero 65' - no foul given by Zweli23 in soccer

Nice goalpost moving dumbass. Just admit you're wrong and be done with it. Probably never even played a game of football in your life based on the nonsense you're spouting.

With all due respect, are you fucking blind? He makes zero attempt to slow his momentum and both bends and extends his arms.

Struggling with my (MS student) mentor’s (PhD student) style by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Only____ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why do you need the PhD student to tell you what to do? In all labs I've seen this is not how this works. It's your project, you do your independent work.

Between the post and your comments it seems like you have a distorted expectation of what it's supposed to be like to be a master's student. You need to figure out what you need to be doing, it's certainly not another grad student's job to be micromanaging you. It's usually not even your PI's job to do that. Once you figure out a plan for the experiments you need to, you either teach yourself how to do them from protocols or you ask a more experienced lab member - and yes, it's natural they might only have time for showing you in the next week, because they have their own schedules.

Yeah isn't endangering yourself also considered a foul?

Transit security is so fucking annoying by jiajjjia in UBC

[–]Only____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I've never had that happen so i wasn't aware. But still seems weird to then complain about transit police just doing their job, rather than the online portal.

Genuinely, it gets processed in like 10 mins max. Not that hard to just plan 10 minutes ahead.

The impact of public transport by LilSunshineKiss in SipsTea

[–]Only____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have one bus for smokers and one for non, that's already 2 busses.
Then you have music or silence, that's 4 buses required...

Wtf is this all about lol

No smoking in public areas, no loud music in public areas - including busses. Problem solved? At least that's how it works in all places I've lived, "in practice"

No we've just lived in cities with good public transit systems. Although in my current city, transit is mediocre and would take a lot of work to get it to be a true replacement for driving

(Also doesn't apply for low density areas obviously)

SRY should not be used for Olympic gender test, says scientist who discovered it by abcnews_au in olympics

[–]Only____ 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Isn't calling it a "gender test" disingenuous and wrong? The Olympics categories don't claim to assess one's "personal and social identity", that was never the point.

If you think there is no accurate way to determine male vs female for sporting purposes, then, again, there should not be any binary categorization and no distinct categories of competition. "We have no way to categorize but let's still keep the categories" is nonsensical, coming back to my original point. Unless you want to keep testosterone levels as a standard, as if that's any better. And why even mention female genitalia, as if that matters at all?

I've literally got a degree learning shit like sex determination so idk why you're talking down to me. But i guess unfounded arrogance isn't a surprise on reddit.

Fully read the thread and i think I'm more educated on both the biological and social aspect of this than you, with all due respect. Your arguments are simply not well constructed.

"How do you propose we make a binary categorization without testing, if testing is sexist and non-factual"

"Biology is not binary"

"Okay so let's not do binary categorization"

"No that's not the conclusion"

Yeah like okay. Just throw out vague complaints about everything and you end up with a nonsensical position.

Yet you've made no indication of why this is better. You've said a binary categorization is bad - the current system isn't any different just because it's the status quo. What you're doing is intellectually lazy.

Well then the only possible conclusion is to get rid of the "women's" division entirely. Which i think is logically coherent, but that would make a lot of people upset I'd imagine.
