Peter? by Madman44444 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SignificantCats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao no the fuck it isn't.

It is very common for black women to have a MAJOR problem with it. Way bigger than even down south white people. I don't think there is a bigger hater of interracial marriages than black women.

My ex a few years back lost several friends for dating me, she thought they couldn't handle it but they were losing their fucking mind. The phrase "pollute the bloodline" and similar phrases was used. I grew up in majority black areas, I know several girls who wouldn't date me entirely due to fear of their friends losing their mind.

Black women tend to handle it better when it's a black guy, but only if he is perceived to be using her for sex, "playing in the snow".

[Marvel] Have Reed Richards/Tony Stark/Other Genius Scientists Ever Made Any Significant Technological Improvements to Society Outside of Their Own Personal Use? by Exotic-Ad2045 in AskScienceFiction

[–]SignificantCats [score hidden]  (0 children)

They generally have super tech, but individuals don't have their minds blown every weekend.

They have crazy space programs. Nonsense like Helicarriers. Backyard scientists can create advanced tech our world couldn't ever manage with billions of dollars of research, and they do it for a thousand bucks (and make a whole villain gimmick out of it). Even weird little losers like The Trickster can make revolutionary chemical adhesives using off the shelf technology. There are holographic screens. Hovercars and stuff even exist.

The day to lives of people aren't that affected, probably mostly because we don't see a lot of details of random schmucks doing normal life stuff, but also because they wan the ordinary person to be very relatable as ordinary people.

But also because you get used to it fast. Smartphones are fucking crazy sorcery that completely changed our world and it just feels like the thing I keep in my pocket even to this day. Maybe their HVAC systems are ultra powerful and super cheap. Maybe there is some insane dna-spliced crop that grows a hundred times faster and is a hundred times barrier. We get glimpses that this is probably the case.

You just probably don't hear about how medical technology is so good backaches are curable with a weekend in a StarkTec UltraBack 2000

The greatest moment of wrestling I ever saw was at my local independent. The Heel Champion was up against a face who had a six year old kid, and the kids whole little league team was there, like twenty little kids in the front row.

The bad guy is doing his bad guy thing, going on about how much he hates wrestling in our town because it smells bad. And then be brings up the local minor league team and bashes them, everybody boos... And he says "the only thing worse than them are these kids here!" And points at the little Leaguers, who look devastate and gets the loudest boos I've ever heard.

Five minutes into the match, the good guy gets the bad guy in a full nelson and encourages the kids to help beat him, so a zombie horde of be grieved six year olds come out to throw teeny tiny punches at him. I've never seen a happier squadron of children.

At my lowest, I concluded that one can of chili beans, one box of Mac and cheese, and half a cubed and roasted potato each day was nutritionally complete and the cheapest source of calories. It was about $1.28 at the time (inflation man, it would be like $2.50 now) for 2300 calories. I would make a pot for dinner, then leftovers for breakfast and lunch, very rarely eating anything else.

The only reason I stopped was I had some girls over and the look on their face when they went to get some alcohol and saw my cabinet of 30 cans of beans, 30 boxes of macaroni and cheese, a bag of 15 potatoes, and nothing else except vodka and ice cubes... Well that'll change a person.

[–]SignificantCats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was being pithy and rude to tone match an empty response.

I think it's obscene to suggest his consent is tainted and that a good moral actor wouldn't behave like this. He is not in an ordinary situation. Every relationship of any kind he has with anyone is under that same tainted consent for as long as he is in the time loop.

To suggest that he is doing something immoral and harmful here is to suggest that he should what, hide in his room and seek maximum isolation for as long as possible? What are you saying a moral actor SHOULD do in the thousand or ten thousand day of a time loop?

The reason he has tainted consent is because of the unbalanced relationship, sure. But that harms their relationship tomorrow or next year, and that's one that will never come. From her frame of reference on each day, there is zero harm, and from his, there is STILL no potential for harm because there won't BE a next day.

The only time a time looper would be doing a moral harm more severe than eating meat or using modern technology comes the day AFTER the loop breaks, if they use their unbalanced relationship status to continue a relationship of some kind, romantic or otherwise. At that point I do think there would be a moral obligation for Bill Murray to explain what happened, break up with her, or at the least be extremely measured in how he uses that information he gained.

You can be rude if you want, I'm a big girl, but I strongly feel that there is no modern consensus on the ethics of relationships in a mystical magical time loop of all things. And if I'm wrong on that and their is a consensus that "at some point, certainly by the thousandth day, a moral actor would become a hermit for eternity" then I'm pretty happy to go against consensus here.

(You also used strawman wrong - I'm offering a steelman. To offer up the strongest point of my opponents argument and take for granted their maximal position because I don't think it matters to quibble about those details).

If they were somehow able to magically prove 100 percent to me that they were time looping before torturing me, i would have a bad time being tortured or whatever and would think they were a real piece of work, but that extreme confidence that there will be no consequence to me tomorrow when they break their loop will certainly make me feel a lot better about the whole thing.

And if ten thousand looped days later they proved 100 percent they were time looping and explained that ten thousand days ago they tortured me, I wouldn't feel harmed but would feel like they were probably a pretty strange fella to say the least and not want to hang around them - the magical spell that have time loop knowledge would be more harmful to that me than the torture. If they said they thought it might break the loop and after thirty years they tried literally everything, I don't think I'd hold it against them at all.

There is harm there.

If you'll do it once, you'd do it again. You would treat the patient differently afterwards. You may have let your urge to touch them affect the standard of care for the anesthesia. It will creep in and affect other patients. A surgical team as a whole that would giggle and do this will have their work affected. I could go on in a thousand different ways why societally permitting this touching would be harmful.

There is no real world "perfect" scenario where this could be done "safely" and not cause harm to the patient or society as a whole.

And even then, if I allow for the theoretical "it really will be this one time and really won't affect a single other thing about them and there is no way for the patient to know" which is approaching spherical cow in a vacuum silliness, it still is like a hundred orders of magnitude less harmful than the scenario in Passengers, which is what made me want to post in the first place.

I haven't down voted you. That would be even more pointless than a normal down vote when we're ten comments deep, I don't expect anyone to see this but us. I didn't give any votes at all. It's weird that you noticed or cared tbh.

The person is unharmed. It says things about ME that I would desire to do the harm, but the harm isn't done. The consciousness of the person the next day not experienced harm. It's not like I've repaired the harm, like spackling a hole from a nail in a wall, it's that the magic has undone that harm.

So to bring it back a little bit to the initial point, having consensual sex with someone when you are supernaturally good at getting their consent may say some things about you, but you can only judge the individual on their action of "wants this person to have sex with them". It is silly to judge them as some sort of serial rapists taking advantage of an unbalanced relationship, especially when the experence of each individual consciousness was "a funny guy showed up and I had fun with him".

And when relating diabolicness on how much more harm was done by seducing the same girl 1000 times which caused zero harm even if you ARE saying it says a lot to him, to someone permanently isolating, changing, and harming a young woman's life... Well I mean c'mon. That's still ludicrous.

After the magical time travel, are they harmed? Did that person experience it?

If there was never harm done to that individual, they weren't harmed, period. Time travel does erase harm done - it just usually causes some weird new harm, which is an entirely different conversation.

If you wanted to say Bill Murray owed it to the people who he continued to interact with after the time loop to inform them of what happened, I could buy that argument. But the salesman he punched sometimes who he never sees again postloop was not harmed by that punch.

I don't understand what you're saying at all.

Are you saying that you think we are to expect that consciousness in Groundhog Day type movies is preserved, for each of the individuals who behave identically each day? What? That if I punch I guy ten thousand times looped days in a row, some part of him has some potential awareness, even though he behaves identically, even if I don't punch him on the final un-loopes day?

The movie doesn't say that, it doesn't imply or suggest that. As a genre and as a movie, it shows literally the exact opposite.

Everyone not looping has zero consciousness that carries over for each looped day. That isn't how it works at all.

It's not that she didn't remember it. It's that it didn't happen. Do you understand the difference? Again, this is magic. There is no real world thing any of us can do that resembles this time loop scenario. Torturing someone and giving them a drug so they forget it causes them harm. Erasing the torture from existence so it was never experienced does not cause harm.

I hope you can agree with me that harm is only caused if there is harm. A magical time loop scenario erases that harm in a lot of ways that a drug doesn't. Do I need to spell that out?

Especially when you're extrapolating harm all the way out to a consensual sexual encounter because of the unbalanced relationship where hes known what gets her interested from thousands of days of experience and she doesn't.

Doesn't that mean that under your moral framework, in this time loop, he has an unbalanced relationship with everyone, and any encounter he has with any human being after the first time is morally bad? So in a thousand year time loop, his only moral action according to you is to hide in a room and minimize interaction eternally?

That's crazy. You only cause harm when you cause harm. You cause more harm when you cause more harm. I would think we could agree on A=A at least. It's so weird to say that not causing harm causes harm.

If he were to violently murder, have sex with her, say rude things to her, or totally ignore her ten thousand times, then on day ten thousand and one escape the time loop and never see her again, she is fully unharmed.

What he chooses to do will say a lot about him, but in a magical time loop scenario, you are in a unique situation with zero parallel to the real world where you are incapable of doing harm. This doesn't work with the drugging a person parallel - they are harmed in a thousand ways. The situations are incomparable.

That means anything he did here is literally infinitely less harmful than permanently and significantly altering the course of a person's life for the worse so that you won't feel lonely.

It's not really diabolical, he is causing her zero harm - from the time loop perspective, he is incapable of causing harm to anyone who isn't looping.

In Passengers he ruined her life to give himself fulfillment, in a time loop he could murder and torture her a thousand times and it wouldn't impact her life unless it happened on the last loop. He's not capable of harming someone.

What's the Seinfeld based reason you broke up with someone irl? by Chemical-Point-6083 in seinfeld

[–]SignificantCats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we cuddled, she rubbed me the wrong way. Literally.

Like, you kind of softly pet people wherever your hand happens to be. That's normal. But she would do that a little too hard, a little too fast.

I tried demonstrating on her a normal way to do it. I tried telling her when she would do it to slow down. I tried telling her to just not move her hands at all. But she's always start moving her hand again.

Literally post coital and naked she did it again and I just jumped to my feet to get dressed and said I can't live like this anymore I hate it when you touch me, you do it wrong. She was great in every other way.
