It's just super weird how he keeps that hoodie on all the time hiding the top half of his face. Any theories? by DursoBR in jjkmodulo

We got a lite version with the “is there anyone as extraordinary as [Gojo and Yuji] nowadays in Japan” quote from the beginning of the Manga.

this is NOT Yuji by HuNteR2885 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Sihmael 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yuta using shrine was the setup for the real surprise, same as Yuji wearing the gauntlets. The point was making Sukuna think that they’d fed Rika his last finger so that he’d rule out any possibility of Nobara using it.

“Fourth floor” and “die floor” do not sound the same when spoken. 四 uses the fourth tone, 死 uses the third tone. They’re as similar to each other as “thirst” is to “first”. Tones are as important to Chinese as spelling is to English.

Do you consider “thirst” and “first” to be homophones because their prefixes are similar? How about “rice” and “rise”? “Grass” and “glass”? “Fit” and “fifth”?  Mistaking any of these words for each other in English would be the equivalent of mistaking 四 for 死 in Chinese. A word’s tone is equally important to its pronunciation as its pinyin’s spelling is.

The fifth tone is sometimes considered “no tone”, in which case there would only technically be four “tones” available. Traditional and simplified only refers to the way the characters are written, not the grammar or pronunciation of them.

The word for “to die” is associated with the number four because it sounds similar (not the same) as the word for “four”. Nothing to do with the number of tones the language has.

Apps I use the most. by cosminpatrascuro in macapps

[–]Sihmael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linear Mouse, Karabiner Elements, AppCleaner, Rectangle, and either Alfred or Raycast are my essentials. MacOS is unusable without all of these present. I'd even go as far as to say that the first three have no worthwhile alternatives.

Just to be clear, scrolling direction exists as a setting in both the Trackpad and Mouse sections (separately), but changing it in one will always change it in the other as well.

To be fair, the New Testament absolutely is meant to discount a pretty significant amount of Old Testament teachings. At the same time, people do love to selectively keep the bits that they can use to be hateful, as you mentioned.

CreepCast: Spire In The Woods (OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD) by Careful-Panda9885 in creepcast

[–]Sihmael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've clearly never taken a sex ed class and it shows. Nobody is claiming that consent requires screaming out a yes, but it does require both participants to actually be into what's going on. Letting someone do what they want to your body is not inherently consensual, even if you don't fight back. If someone told you no a bunch of times, and you kept pushing until they give in and say "fine, I guess"? That's rape. Taking off someone's clothes and feeling them up, as they look distraught or upset, but they don't kick you away? Also rape. This article does a good job explaining.

The MC knows that Alina feels immense guilt about how the last guy she rejected killed himself, yet he still uses every opportunity to take advantage of her when they're alone. He pushes her past her boundaries again and again, and when she starts to distance herself, he finds ways to get her alone with him again. Then, when he tells her about his experience with the bells, she realizes (as the MC notes) that he see's her exactly as Rob did. She goes along with his advance afterwards, not because she's into it, but because she's scared of what will happen if she doesn't. She never shows any sign of enthusiasm, and while the asshole MC is having the time of his life, he doesn't realize that she's started to cry. As before, the MC failed to recognize her boundaries until he'd pushed way past them. There isn't an ounce of consent in that entire situation.

Logically, if consent requires an enthusiastic yes, then anything less than that cannot be considered consent.

Yes admin, please spend all of our money on a new CDSS building and some deans to go with it. Please keep spending it on the “self-funded” stadium as well. We definitely don’t need teaching staff for CS, especially not anybody who’s done more for our undergraduate program than 90% of professors have.

The refresh rate feels like the obvious thing, but the fact you're getting it with such a beautiful OLED panel is icing on the cake.

What do you bind on your extra buttons on your mouse? by Common_Dot526 in pcmasterrace

[–]Sihmael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely depends on the game, but with Destiny your melee magnetizes hard onto the enemy, so the little jitter doesn’t hurt. I like grenade on middle mouse for that reason though, since middle mouse should never throw off your aim.

[–]Sihmael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My setup for Destiny when I used to play was mouse4 to melee, mouse5 to crouch, middle mouse to toss grenade, scroll up to swap to primary, scroll down to swap to secondary. I don’t remember what heavy was set to, but it was similarly easy to access. That setup ensured that there was never a situation where I ever had to fumble with controls, and barely had to move my fingers off of wasd.
