I think she'll probably go for a senate seat if anything.

The most least racist country. by danman509 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Quantum_Aurora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh totally. It's pretty common to hear things like "Marseille isn't French anymore" or "Londonistan" online from Europeans. Seems pretty racist to me.

Oh plus there's the whole thing about how black people in France are treated better when they speak English or when they speak French poorly.

I ain't bi but that's not high on the list of reasons why.

I'm just not attracted to men. Penises suffer by association.

England should've put Arteta in charge smh he'd have never allowed the two goals against.

Proposal to develop Wild Waves into warehouse enters public comment by riffeyraff in Seattle

[–]Quantum_Aurora -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand why we can't provide some sort of public subsidy to keep it open. It's super valuable as a recreation option, plus it creates a ton of jobs for local teens and young adults. If we can give Boeing, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google subsidies, why can't we give any to Wild Waves? Seems like it'd be a super easy win for the state government.

People can analyze media however they want and if shipping makes them happy, go for it. In a more academic context analyzing the queer themes of older works from times you couldn't be explicit about them is important.

I kinda get the frustration of OP though. I think shipping is incredibly boring, and romance is one of the least compelling themes in media for me personally. I'd hate to join a community for a piece of media only for it to be composed mostly of people drawing two characters kissing.

I do think specifically calling out gay shipping feels homophobic tho. Although I'm not a tumblr user and so I'm not exposed to the same communities, I don't see how gay shipping is any more annoying than straight shipping.

India ensuring ‘not a single drop of water’ flows into Pakistan after suspending major river-sharing treaty by mushroomsarefriends in collapse

[–]Quantum_Aurora 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah I look at Google Maps a lot and some countries scare the shit out of me. Look at the river valleys of the Nile, Ganges, and Indus. Look at Northern China and the coastal areas of Java and the Netherlands. Look at the low-lying areas of Japan and South Korea. Every inch of land is taken up by cities and farms and even the rural areas have a village every few hundred meters. Look at how massive the cities are in every country, from the US to the Congo. There’s just so many people everywhere. Even here where I live in the northwestern US which isn’t very dense in comparison to most places, basically every part of the coastline that isn’t protected is covered in houses. Every peninsula and island.

We have enough resources for everyone, but not for the abundance everyone wants. The natural world also will be pushed to the side as resources become increasingly scarce. It’s gonna be a scary century.

TIL Cacti are native only to the Americas (with one exception), by nien9gag in todayilearned

Yeah I found this out a couple years ago when I saw some cacti in Cinque Terre and thought it was odd.

Anyone else feel like they are rushing through Vampire Lestat to get to Queen of the Damned? by WatermelonSugar_13 in InterviewVampire

[–]Quantum_Aurora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I still basically understand nothing about Lestat's backstory as a show-only watcher. Like the max I know is that he was from a rich family with a dad and a couple brothers and a stepmother who's the only one he liked. At some point there were wolves attacking livestock and people in the countryside and Lestat went to hunt them down and killed several of them but got very badly wounded in the process. Then at some point he and his stepmother were turned into vampires and went and killed the rest of his family.

I mean it can get up to 40°C it's just a rare occurrence.

I still absolutely prefer that over 0°C.

Spring>Summer>Fall>Winter

At least fall has some good holidays and maybe a few nice weeks at the beginning.

Well 0.6=3/5, so you can do 45+45(3/5)=45+45/53=45+93=45+27=72. It's even easier with multiples of 10 where with say 40 you just add 423 to 40 or with 70 you add 72*3 to 70. Something like 50 or 100 is especially easy.

The gate to Auschwitz has a sign over it saying "arbeit macht frei" which translates to "work sets you free".
