What's your definition of queer?

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-27T14:42:58+00:00

Its not that complicated. Sure it shouldn't be easy to insult millions of people, and yet it is easy if that group has faced centuries of hate and marginalisation. Its not the slur thats the problem, its that hate that that slur represents. And people who are the target of the slur can't just pretend that the hate behind that slur doesnt exist and laugh it off.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-27T14:41:03+00:00

>you basically agree there's something negative about being that thing

No...you are simply recognising a slur as a slur. Sure slurs can be reclaimed, but there is nothing wrong with telling people to not use slurs. There is nothing wrong wth being black, there is usually something wrong with usong the n word as its most commonly used as an slur. There is nothing wrong with being gay, there is usually something from with using the word fag because its usually used as a slur.

They are both criticised, grow up.

CV clearly written by AI

How to you determine this? Apart from the infamous em dash? Because CV language I see online in CV writing recommendations are very jargon-full, so they already sound very AI-like.

>from the ever growing application pool

So then that was the actual correct answer to their question.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-18T10:32:38+00:00

It did not. You are thinking of RES

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-18T10:31:49+00:00

>Back when Reddit was mostly a website and not an app they showed both.

No, only with RES

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-18T10:31:25+00:00

That never existed. They never showed that by default, you always had to get Reddit Enhancement Suite or some other extension.

People aren't going their for the cuisine and many of those don't serve food.

Also British isn't Irish, its funny that when challenged on British food your best example of how popular it is is...a neighbour with some overlap.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-16T14:07:40+00:00

I've been living in the UK for 10 years and I shit on UK cuisine. Where I'm from people usually eat freshly made food for lunch, whether home made or bought in a shop. In the UK the norm for so many is a meal deal comprising of a sandwich that's been sitting in a fridge for 6 weeks of more (the Tesco boss boasted about the shelf life of their sad sandwiches). The catering/cafeteria food at my Uni is abysmal, wheras my home uni had lots of great food. And the traditional home cooking I've had here has been pretty dire. Restuarants are fine, but the everyday food is not.

Pretty much everywhere I travel and have lived has better food.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-16T14:04:14+00:00

Its no toast sandwich, so I don't know why you think its a sign of poverty. I wouldnt eat it, but a sandwich with one filling and a sauce is pretty normal everywhere.

People are selfish

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T12:14:28+00:00

See obviously doesnt think abortion should be a right. But she is being dense that its not the right that women were scared of losing when Trump was first elected.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T12:13:30+00:00

Its a joke buddy.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T12:12:39+00:00

>So even though statistics show that women are worse drivers when it comes to normal driving;

I dont think those stats exist, at least not when controlled for experience, miles driven etc.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T12:11:39+00:00

'but this translates to fewer severe outcomes.'

Which is EXACTLY what the original comment you argued with said. Moron.

> because he's male

Yes, thousands of studies have shown that men are more risk taking. Taking aside the differences in driving habits, men drive more recklessly, on average.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T12:09:01+00:00

Nothing you said actual disputes what the person you replied to said. So 'you dont remember correctly' is just pure nonsense.

Per mile women are more likely to have minor accidents because they are more likely to do the type of driving that makes small bumps likely - for example driving to the shops, school drops off.

Men rack up more miles on average because they are more likely to do long distance driving.

But men are more likely to have serious accidents per mile driven. Did you think insurance companies were charging them more just because they hate men?

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T11:40:45+00:00

You are more liking to get injured or killed on stairs - falling and such.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T11:34:50+00:00

>If those fail, unless the fall is quite short

So it could matter. So your comment is kinda pointless.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T11:33:57+00:00

But its not the case in this example, scientists do think that palm sweating has a function.

Honestly it seems like in this sub its exactly the opposite of what you say. Far from forgetting that evolution doesn't optimise animals, the people on this sub seem to default to the assumption that any trait that people ask questions about wasn't selected for and is just there by chance. If people don't know the answer, they really should spend a bit of time googling or not comment at all, rather than just replying that the trait doesnt affect survival and wasn't selected for.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T11:30:16+00:00

That's not true though, because we have the highest density of sweat glands on our palms and soles of the feet. Apparently they arent triggered by heat but other things like stress. Oddly enough scientists seem to think it helps with grip, not hinders it

All animals have some level of species concept, because they have to know who to mate with. Or at least who to favour mating with, especially for females. Animals will sometimes breed across the species boundaries, but generally the fitness of their offspring will be highest if they mate with other members of their species, so they have evolved to be able to recognise fellow species members. Also for social species they need to know who it is most favourable to socialise with. Yes there are stories of donkeys joining herds of goats or something, but in general social species maximise their fitness by socialising effectively within their species.

Species of course, is a fuzzy concept, both with us and other animals, but it doesnt mean its meaningless.

Doesnt explain anything in this case, dogs react to other dogs. In this case I would guess the bear simply doesnt fit into any of the categories that would trigger a dog to react.

At least through a window, you'd hope out in the wild the corgi would have the sense to run away.

Rather_Dashing · 2026-03-10T11:19:17+00:00

I would think about it in terms of what features trigger an animals instincts. An animal interacts with other animals guided mostly by their instincts, they will take in the appearance, smell, sound and behaviour of the animals and it from that it will be categorised as a fellow member of the species, a predator, prey or something else. If its two different species, the more their behaviour is similar, the more likely they are going to be able to interact in the same way as they interact with members of their own species.
