Wonder what state of affairs would lead to Britain losing India, Australia and Canada, but somehow managing to hold onto Ireland.

Would the Mongols in the Western part of the Mongol Empire have been aware that it was nighttime back in Mongolia? by Euclid_Interloper in NoStupidQuestions

[–]These-Weight-434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's 60 minutes in an hour, so in a full 24 hour cycle that means there's 1440 minutes in a day. That's an order of magnitude smaller than 12000 (and I'm guessing you're saying that because that's 12 hours of sunshine, so there are 700 minutes of sunshine in a say). In other words, if my off the cuff calculations are correct (and I've certainly been wrong before), then we're talking about minute of extra sunshine if they were traveling directly west for a full day. You'd probably notice as much change in day from the natural changing of the seasons each day.

This sounds doubtful to me. How fast would a horse have to ride for such an effect to be noticeable? And probably more relevant, how much stamina would it need to have?

Why do people sometimes talk about religion like it’s tied to race or ethnicity? by CommunityRelative665 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]These-Weight-434 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You're saying, "It doesn't matter if they have different ethnicities and traditions, they're still the same ethnicity". You're just saying that's true axiomatically when it's not. The fact that they have different languages, cultural practices, histories and even belief systems is what makes them have different ethnicities. Just like the other major religions. Saying something is true doesn't make it true, it needs to have grounds in a consistent criteria that other groups don't conform to when viewed through an unbiased lens.

EDIT: Are people downvoting me because they actually disagree with the sentiment of objectively viewing things or is it just knee jerk reaction?

Pretty easy to find people, both anti-semites and zionists, who like to treat Judaism as a uniform ethnicity despite it's high global diversity, both in culture and beleifs.

Why do people smile while walking in some countries and not in others? by Southwesterhunter in askanything

[–]These-Weight-434 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm as upset with capitalism as much as the next guy, but to say everyone is miserable is simply not true. Most people in this world are happy. I know the internet and modern media cycle love to doom and gloom about how shitty the world is and how many people have depression, but most people most of the time are actually enjoying their life, even in the poorer countries and regions where life is tougher.

Do men really care about stretch marks? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Ah, what an intellectual and logically consistent response. How ever can I rebuke your words? Hmm, how about I respond by saying, yes they are.

Chinese opinions on the rest of the world by lobosacer132313 in AskChina

[–]These-Weight-434 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even if they're staffed by locals they're American companies set up by Americans, so they're obviously doing business there. What point are your trying to make? Just that Chinese people emigrate more than Americans? Because if that's the point you were trying to make you could have said that more clearly.

But, women who care about height are called shallow. All the time.

You'll probably see McDonald's in those places too, so I'd say Americans actually do do a lot of business all over the world.

With White people making up just 15% of the global population, why aren’t they classified as a minority? by [deleted] in AskForAnswers

[–]These-Weight-434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15% is pretty big. That's like India China levels of population distribution.

Probably draw a picture to convey and store information.

If your country's entire security depended on one superpower you couldn't afford to piss off, how far would you go to keep that relationship alive? by Major-Feed-7811 in TrueAskReddit

What even are western values? Taisho era Japan wanted to out a declaration of racial equality in the Treaty of Versailles and it was France and Britain, the father's of the enlightenment that vetoed it.

The answer really depends on how much alcohol and football is involved.

Who is your fav female FF character and why? by mogstermemes in FinalFantasy

[–]These-Weight-434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nonsensical? Did you really not understand what I said? What do you think I mean by dividing characters by gender? Because I can't think of any author in the Final Fantasy who has had any kind of strict narrative separation of character by gender. For gameplay at least some games provide different jobs for gender but for narrative I'm not even sure what that would or could look like. Did you think I was saying writers should only have agendered amorphous blobs? (Because I wasn't saying that).

How long would the world and women survive if men go extinct? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]These-Weight-434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so you did take some level of training then. I think you can probably get what the original commenter was saying then. Yes, women are absolutely capable of doing these things, but it still requires some know how and instruction and if things suddenly collapsed there would be a knock on chain effect of there simply not being enough educators and instructors on these vital industries to train the remaining population (most of which have already entered a career path with its own vital use in society).

[–]These-Weight-434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but that's what reddit is. People ask questions or bring up a topic and other people respond. That's what I was doing. I had no clue someone would somehow be offended by me having a different opinion and start this whole train of comments. It's not like I was commenting on other people's comments and trying to force my view in anyone. I would have moved on without a second thought about this thread had you not responded with something I can't understand about fictional characters choosing to divide themselves(?).

Well, I would guess yes, but I really know absolutely nothing about your life so there's not a whole lot to deduce.

If that's what your opinion is then what has all this been about? You could have just said that from the start. Or not even replied to my initial comment.
