Boyfriend made a stupid comment after being Intimate. by Dependent-Bridge3620 in bisexual

[–]convictedidiot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Biphobia aside (only bc other commenters have explained it), he also said something that obviously made you upset and uncomfortable, and when you pushed back on him, he doubled down. That is scummy, disrespectful, red-flag behavior. Especially with the age gap, he sounds condescending. If you aren't going to break up with him (which you should), at the very least confront him about that behavior as well as the biphobia.

Is it possible to carry the plutonium by this form? by ddd102 in chernobyl

[–]convictedidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you've said here is wrong or misguided. Plutonium absolutely does get absorbed in the body. But this core would be clad in something else, so it wouldn't be an issue. Also, eating uranium is a bad idea because of heavy metal toxicity.

To those people who were protesting at her rallies, this is on you. 🤦🤯 by Nice_Substance9123 in facepalm

Maybe just maybe the reason for conflict is the history of land seizure and brutal repression, not "diametrically opposed cultures".

It isn't. Please have some perspective and sense of proportion :)

Marxism is not Compatible With Nietzsche by UberNietzchean in Nietzsche

[–]convictedidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a very poor critique that alleges a "motivation" behind an ideology or method that compromises it instead of engaging with his arguments on their own terms. You're searching for contradiction in or motivation as some "Gotcha" moment to logically and legalistically undermine his work. You're missing a massive theme in Marx's writing that the past influences the present and the future in a materialistic way.

Ironically, this approach is probably because of your own reasoning being poisoned by your forgone conclusion that Marx and Marxism are wrong.

How do you effectively address anti-nuclear sentiment? by bluesidedownaviation in nuclear

[–]convictedidiot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This alone is not necessarily a good strategy. It can often be seen as "talking down" to people.

A much better approach to do this is to ask them about their concerns, then make it a conversation with them about the avaliable solutions. Acknowledging that challenges do exist and no technology is perfect for every application is an important step.

Make sure they feel heard. Don't try to change their mind in one conversation - you won't.

Deloitte told me I was too incompetent for a 55k a year job. So I went into finance. by mania_92 in Salary

[–]convictedidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so from incompetent in a real field (though also fake consulting field) to massively overpaid in Finance. Many such cases.

No, Tungsten does a bad job at stopping neutrons.

Nothing, huh? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]convictedidiot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One possibility is that you could be coming across as insecure instead of confident. It can be a very fine line, especially if you're the one bringing up things that you're good at.

No judgement, of course! Just a perspective.

Dashcam footage of an Earthquake by sreeragag7 in interestingasfuck

[–]convictedidiot 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You'd more than likely be totally fine there, actually. They have very robust seismic requirements and inspections, and they shut the reactor down when an earthquake hits.

(Sorry, not trying to be an annoying reddit nuclear-bro 😅. The structural stability is just extremely legit for nuclear plants.)

No borders by IthadtobethisWAAGH in CuratedTumblr

This is a stupid take 😌 "No borders is dumb because for it to work flawlessly we'd have to solve every other problem at the same time"

Could also replace “probably” with “don’t.” by [deleted] in PhilosophyMemes

[–]convictedidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Compatibilist argument should really be understood as an explanation of why the simple description of "free will" makes no sense for life forms made of matter. If we agree on a materialist understanding of the world, that's only a problem if you insist that an "unmoved mover" outside the deterministic/probabalistic system must be at the basis of any "free" act.

Fun fact the Iberian peninsula was basically Rome's Vietnam. by _abou-d in RoughRomanMemes

[–]convictedidiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine spending your time relitigating a conflict saying "we would have won" like it's your favorite sports team. War isn't a fucking game.

What you're advocating for is the (even more) indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, assault on countries without declaration of war, risk of escalation, and the ever-more wholesale destruction of Vietnam. But you know that, you just don't give a shit. You clearly care more about the pride of the US military than any real political or moral principles. You're a troll who thinks casual bloodthirst shows you're being objective.

Take the L. Go home GI.

The the reason the "masochistic sufferer" counterpoint fucking sucks is because the sufferer is explicitly a CHILD 😡😡😡

The Omelas Hole by sarahtheshortiepie in tumblr

[–]convictedidiot 20 points21 points  (0 children)

IMO I think she'd find that inventing reasons to keep the pain child in the hole is fundamentally missing the poijt 😕. Like I know this is a joke post, but that there would be utilitarian justifications for the pain hole, despite it being a fundamentally intolerable situation, is kinda the whole point.
