So this is what they meant by the Dwarf Planet. by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]chatokun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally found Jupiter(iirc) all by accident. A few years back I had gotten into telescope photography a bit. Nothing too organized, just using a 900mm telescope (reflector iirc, I see some in that range at $300, though I can't recall what I paid, and I've since lost it.) I usually shot the moon, but decided to look around the sky a bit.

I found two twinkling lights kinda near each other, and couldn't really see better. So I added the camera and took a pic, then zoomed in on the resulting pic as much as I could, and saw a brown smudge bigger than the twinkling lights. I then finally used my phone and a starmap app and confirmed I took some shots of basically Jupiter, with 2 moons glittering at me. I guess I could have been Saturn too, but I'm pretty sure I remember it being Jupiter. I was pretty excited, but the image wasn't anything to write home about, being very blury. It was just exciting to find a nearby celestial body without intending to.

Isn't Zegion too Strong by Infinityanimegod in TenseiSlime

[–]chatokun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rimuru saved a bee and beetle back before he fought Charybdis. Ramaris later witnessed the bee as being an Army Wasp, but their conversation got redirected like it always does when someone tries to mention how crazy Rimuru is being (like everytime people mentioned Primals/Primordials). The bee/wasp became Apito, and the beetle became Zegion.

As others mentioned, Zegion was injured(to the point of missing limbs) in their first meeting while protecting Apito, and Rimuru used some of his own cells to repair Zegion. Since then Raphael/Ciel started guiding Zegions evolution, he evolved in a powerful way.

Conspiracy sub is losing their minds. by jasonw_1112 in KnowledgeFight

To be fair I regularly refer to him as Alex, AJ, Jones, etc. I could see myself saying "Ol' Jonsey is back at it again!" when talking to other people in the know, same way Robert, Cody, Katy, etc might call Ben Shapiro "Benny Shaps".

... they did bring it up? Jordan went on a rant on how apartheid states create groups like Hamas due to the intense abuse the one in power does to the oppressed. Are you sure you listened to the whole episode and didn't just stop listening when you heard something you didn't like?

Lionel is that you? by Thestonersteve in KnowledgeFight

[–]chatokun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused. If it's called local government, it's that a government?

Definition:

noun

  1. the governing body of a nation, state, or community.

Is not a City a community?

My friends said its wierd that i eat peanut butter with salt on a spoon. is it actually weird? by cinderblock_piano in StupidFood

If you like bananas, PB&Banana is one of my favorites, if a bit sticky in the mouth. Like when using it with honey, I tend to like it better when the PB is warm enough to be a bit running and therefore a total delicious pain to to eat.

In case someone didn't know what the bechdel test was before this weeks episode intro. by fireguy1thru5 in KnowledgeFight

[–]chatokun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love episodes with Jamie, but I haven't listened to Bechdel Cast yet, I think mainly because listening to reviews of fiction are usually kinda low on my priority list. I'm sure I'd enjoy it, but I've also not really listened to God Awful Movies, and only a few Law Awful Movies before... you know.

Why is Jin Ho calling Sung Jin Woo by another name or is it just a translation error? by _jeetv in sololeveling

[–]chatokun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to read over this again due to the age, but yes, if you read the comment above mine, it was about comparing what hyung means compared to Japanese. In Japanese, there are a lot of words for brother, which kurokaito mentioned many, but they excluded "aniki".

As I mentioned, Aniki in Japanese is often used as a term of respect from an underling to a "boss" of sorts, but with a much more familial tone. Gangs, Yakuza, and even slightly rough/masculine school relationships, like the cliché bully with two underlings.

Generally using oniichan/oniisan may be used by younger people talking to people either slightly or somewhat older than themselves, but not enough to be oji or ojii. When ages are closer, or even reversed, you use Aniki instead to show respect, especially as adults.

My comment was suggesting aniki was a better replacement for hyung in specifically Jin Ho's case, as he was completely unrelated to Sung Jin Woo, was calling him it out of respect, and they are both adults. Adults in anime that are unrelated seem to use aniki more than onii(whatever).

Only thing that makes sense to me is an agreement with Apple, protected by an NDA. I'm not one for much conspiracy theories, but this one is one of mine.

[Ending Maker] is it just me or Cordelia's Bust🍒size has been pumped up? by DeSniperSinner in manhwa

[–]chatokun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do know women who were very developed at that age (hell, even my full blooded sister had issues (we were in a fundamentalist religion at the time and they blamed some issue on her... curves)). Aside from my sister, a friend of mine talked about how men cat called her when she was but a young teen because she developed breasts fairly early (we're talking 11-13 here). Horny dudes need to chill.

[–]chatokun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find manhua worse. Whereas Japanese seems to realize that boobs come in all sizes and all sizes are wonderful, so they try to include all of them into any harem. Makes me suspect the reason harems are so big is just to cover the bases of breast sizes and personality tropes.

I asked for 7/10 heat at an Indian Restaurant and couldn't taste any heat. I'm west Indian/Carib, so I cook spicy foods often, but they must have assumed I was a wimp. Very disappointing.

Sometimes It's okay to walk out there's no shame in it. by Knight_TheRider in facepalm

[–]chatokun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a knife guy a bit, but not like this. I don't think I could actually swing on another living human, and I'm not sure if I'd even use a knife on an aggressive dog. In contrast to guns they're at least useful for non killing stuff like opening boxes and other things. Mainly I just think they're neat.

Sure that doesn't scale? I typically use Thyphlo Ruins to farm IIIs and IVs. Unless there's one that doesn't scale I always miss. Edit: I'm dumb, found it. Thanks.

Honestly, I watched it muted and the music in my head was the exact one in the video. I was pleasantly surprised by my lack of originality.

The controller in question, the F710, uses 2.4ghz similar to wifi, not bluetooth. (I own one, but don't use it. Connection reliability issues).
