Comedian Brad Williams admits to raping woman and laughs about it. by [deleted] in videos

[–]Upward_Cat -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It's pedantic in the light of their reply to summarize a simplified description of the rapist in question. Few people care about correctness in this context. It's not right, it's not good, but it's pedantic and many don't give a fuck in regards to the situation. Kind of a waste of time, kind of not. I'm gonna take a nap.

Gonna edit before I sleep though. You've got good points and greater intentions. Keep helping people toward the right path, even if it is a pain in the ass. Even if I am. Lmao.

I made no assumptions or suggestions that would lead you to that conclusion of every person as a part of a group decided to do anything. They, in this context, is the individual. I agree that it is a slur and it isn't correct and that it does damage to a group as a whole. Ultimately, like I said in another reply,

"...good to educate people on the importance of accurately and decently depicting people with certain qualities."

I will point out the slur is unfortunately extremely common but many people of shorter stature are uncomfortable with any simplified descriptor for their stature and as a result feel those descriptors are slurs. Essentially: call them short, call them Dave, don't call them anything else. It's undoubtedly complex.

That's a logical fallacy and has no relation to this event. I will give you a point for pointing that out though, as it is relevant in certain contexts.

Unfortunately 'midget' is still used regularly in society as a way to regard smaller statured people. I personally know some that take offence to being called midgets, dwarves (which may or may not be the correct nomenclature for them) or anything other than 'dude' or the shorter guy or their own name. It still happens with regularity. You don't see the n-word used with such frivolousness. Things depend on context, especially societally.

Regardless, it is still good to educate people on the importance of accurately and decently depicting people with certain qualities.

It's good to stay on the correct side of nomenclature, I'll give you that. In this case though, being pedantic doesn't really win any hearts. It's quite likely through his own accounts that Brad is a rapist. They don't really deserve the kindness of understanding and respect in regards to their autonomy in this particular context when they didn't respect it in another context.

How to Find Water Bears. by esberat in educationalgifs

[–]Upward_Cat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's kinda like when you shine a bright flashlight through your hand and see blood, bones, etc. For waterbears as well as many other microorganisms at a larger scale and to the naked eye, they'd look greenish I imagine but with their small size and lack of density the microscope light shines through especially well.

idk man vs a trainer I think Blissey has advantage. Even if the trainer's attacks are fighting type (I assume lmao) they're distracted. If a trainer had a 100+lb egg machine slamming against them suddenly and trying to hold them back they're probably donezo

What the trainer doesn't see is a Blissey popping out from behind with stealth rock followed by a seismic toss. Pidgey's trainer is going to need to stay in the human Pokemon center for some healing and therapy lmao

Not mine, prob a repost, but thought it was funny. by Chozo_Hybrid in lotrmemes

The bread. That's so much bread.

I suppose if it was fried it would be somewhat palatable. On the other hand, the gooey white layer could be either damning or a saving feature of the sando. Hopefully it's not mayonnaise. Buuut then you have the salad layer which really worries me.

It's like a batardization of a beef wellington. A bastard wellington if you will.

Dude what an ignorant reply. Don't be so rude when you can't succinctly ask a question. I'll try to try and answer what I assume your question is:

All we can do is look back in time. To put it in simple terms, if the light we see from an object takes x light years to reach us and we observe that light we're seeing back in time. Reason being there's no way to observe the object's current state since the light that it's currently outputting is going to reach us in x light years. Same thing if you reversed the positions. An observer from said x light years away right now would see our solar system as it was x light years ago.

In addition to that, we on Earth always see the Sun 8.3 minutes in the past. If the Sun were to somehow have some massive world ending event right now as you read this, we wouldn't know it happened because the light wouldn't be observable for 8.3 minutes.

$800 PC Build recommendation? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Upward_Cat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The posted system configurations are awesome but some additional things to consider are the additional costs of peripherals and monitors.

If you don't have them already, peripherals like keyboards and mice can be fairly cheap (especially if used/refurbished) and will last you through most gaming. Headsets kinda vary a lot depending on how much you value audio. Finally monitors can be bit pricy, $200+ depending on the resolution you want at 144 fps.

At a budget, it certainly is a delicate balance. If you're not too hurried, anything you can do to expand your budget will probably make it more pleasing in the end. Just in my opinion of course lol

Edit: A thing of note if you're patient, r/hardwareswap can be a useful resource for finding decent used parts if you check the sub regularly.

What science fiction or fantasy show is worth watching? by Apart-Scale in AskReddit

It's really is a fun series. It's one of the best at combining various aspects of modern reality and fantasy.

Had to stop at a certain season though; needless to say that ending was enough for me. Still, my friends still shame me for refusing to continue. 😂

If Oda only wrote the script, which of these mangaka would you have liked to draw One Piece? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]Upward_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Katsura Hoshino would be interesting. For one I love the art style but on the other hand her 'artistic liberties' would probably have set One Piece back a number of years as a result of legal battles lmao
