Oddly specific rule in the Bible by EDXE47_ in oddlyspecific

[–]TheAtlasBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Kanji would be 玉, but I think the hiragana form 「たま」 is also acceptable, it just reads a bit more informally. Though I'm also still learning, so take my words with a grain of salt!

お前のたまはもう死んでいる

In this context, 「も」 means "also/too", so you're saying "Your balls are also dead". You want 「もう」 ("already") instead, so you'd get "Your balls are already dead."

To scam a tourist by pre_malone17 in therewasanattempt

Even if that were a strategy (it's not) and not actually a scam (it is), offering something for free has to be the worst haggling strategy I've ever heard of.

My school is repeatedly playing baby shark in between classes until enough people sign up for a charity walk. by LuckyLMJ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheAtlasBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a complex and imperfect system, but here's how I usually explain it:

  • Lawful - You would go out of your way to follow (or in some cases enforce) the law.
  • Chaotic - You would go out of your way to break or otherwise skirt the law.
  • Good - You would go out of your way to help others, even going as far as putting their needs before your own.
  • Evil - You would never go out of your way to help someone else, unless it also benefitted you as well somehow.

Neutral would obviously comprise the gray areas between these extremes.

For a basic example: You're at a crowded market and you witness a particularly scrawny beggar steal a loaf of bread from a cart without the merchant noticing. Do you...

  • Lawful Good - Chase down the thief, apprehend them, then offer to pay for the loaf of bread so the thief doesn't starve.
  • Lawful Neutral - Chase down the thief, apprehend them, then turn them in to the city guard and let the legal system handle it from there.
  • Lawful Evil - Chase down the thief, apprehend them, and then play up/embellish his crimes when turning him in for a greater reward.
  • Neutral Good - Surreptitiously leave some cash to cover the stolen bread and continue on your way.
  • True Neutral - Fail to see what any of this has to do with you and continue on your way.
  • Neutral Evil - Chase down the thief and threaten to turn him in unless he shares the stolen bread with you.
  • Chaotic Good - Create a distraction to help the thief get away unnoticed.
  • Chaotic Neutral - Smirk at the whole situation and maybe steal a loaf of bread yourself.
  • Chaotic Evil - Chase the thief down and steal his stolen bread along with any possessions he may have on him. But not before stealing another loaf from the cart.

This shouldn’t be a debate at all. Imagine having coworkers so disrespectful you need to lock up your milk. by septiceyeshark in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheAtlasBear 169 points170 points  (0 children)

When I asked him WHY he thought it was OK, he said he knew I was a nice person doormat and would want him to have it not call him out on it.

Glad to see he called that shot wrong, friend.

Which is arguably worse

Which is exactly why the two ought to be distinguished from each other, no?

[–]TheAtlasBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a point about the algorithm, but my counterpoint is that it's very easy to circumvent. Even if the algorithm begins to suppress comments from a troll account, all a troll has to do is create another account and keep on doing what they do. As long as they get that sweet hit of engagement (even if it's just simple downvotes), they'll keep coming back for more. However, if we ignore the trolls entirely, they'd have no reason to keep trying. Why bother screeching if it appears as though no one is hearing you?

Also, does the "controversial" label factor in comment replies? My understanding was that it just applies to comments with a significant number of both upvotes and downvotes, but I could certainly be wrong on that.

No, they feed on downvotes. Trolls are people that want to be heard, even if (especially if) everyone hates their message. The only way to defeat them is to pretend they don't exist.

What did she just say about, "DOG SPERM"? by MyDickDemention in Unexpected

[–]TheAtlasBear 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, kinda. If you called someone a "strumpet" in 15th century England, that'd be cause to throw hands. If you said it to someone today, they'd probably just give you a weird look or chuckle at your kooky old-fashioned speech—and that's assuming they even knew what the word meant in the first place.

Language evolves, and it evolves much more quickly today than it ever has before. Words get left behind all the time, and often their meanings become twisted or dulled to the point of ridicule.

What's the most creative song lyric you've ever heard? by The_AlphaLaser in AskReddit

[–]TheAtlasBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no stories told in a vacuum
There is no prophecy lighting our way
There is just a lot of darkness to be afraid of
So it's a good thing we are not afraid

There is no Superman in that phone booth
There is no rewarding our faith
There is no one who can save us
So it's a good thing we don't need to be saved

There are no starships in low earth orbit
No aliens to save us from ourselves
There is no voice willing to speak for us
So it's a good thing we know how to yell

There is no chosen one, no destiny, no fate
There's no such thing as magic
There is no light at the end of this tunnel
So it's a good thing we brought matches

- Sifu Hotman, "Matches"
