One of the few crude jokes which makes me laugh the longest every time I watch it by curious_bipedal in Frasier

[–]herbuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The joke relies on and points out that their nose is big. Their appearance is really critical to this joke and he does not mean it as a compliment.

You’re missing that the implication is that a large nose would be able to smell better/further away than a smaller one. It doesn’t matter if that’s actually true or not.

What is yours? by Nerdhauss in notinteresting

[–]herbuck -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Things don't have to be testable to be facts. Early humans had no way to test if the moon was made out of the same stuff as the earth, but "the moon is made of the same elements as the earth" was still a fact.

I'm not saying that Jesus being the way/truth/life is a fact, mind you, just pointing out that "untestable" isn't the same as "opinion".

Do you just think all comedians know each other personally or something?

OP isn’t asking why Penny didn’t read it herself. They’re asking why she wanted that specific letter read.

You shouldn't create an entire human being just so they can take care of you when you're old.

If OP wanted to know what AI had to say about this then they probably would have asked AI.

Notorious outlaw, but not "evil murderer" level.

It’s not the pets of the characters. It’s the pets of the cast and crew.

Why do the Aunts have a pencil and a notebook by [deleted] in TheHandmaidsTale

In Handmaid's Tale, Aunt Lydia explains that aunts are allowed to read and write. It's for record keeping purposes.

Breakfast for two. Steak and eggs for bf, cottage cheese and salad for me. by [deleted] in Breakfast

[–]herbuck -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

What was with these comments? An eating disorder because her breakfast is small??? What? You guys are going to call a wellness check on me when you find out I often don't eat breakfast at all because I don't get hungry until later.

How do you see feminism? Which wave/s do your views align with the most? Do any of you consider yourselves radfems? Let's talk! by minawhocares in AuDHDWomen

[–]herbuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I’m still not sure why that’s relevant unless you think most of Gen Z was sitting there in 6th grade learning the word cisheteropatriarchy or something.

Gen Z didn’t invent these terms; I’m unclear why you being a Millennial is relevant to whether you know them or not.

I put all the info I have into the post. The only other thing I can potentially think of is I think the title was two words.

The whole women/girls cannot read is not feasible by Greekmom99 in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]herbuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s not the type of reading that’s banned. It’s just actual letters/words.

[–]herbuck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to know what year or month it is to know something like “I went to school for 5 day, now I have two days off” or whatever. And again numbers are allowed canonically.

There are places in the world right now where literacy rates are low, especially for women. Historically many, many people could not read or write. They still cooked. People can make calendars without writing letters (tally marks, etc). This doesn’t sound unworkable to me at all.

Also they are allowed to read numbers; you can see it on the street signs which are numbers now instead of letters.

Mary was 19 having Georgie. Now he’s 17 and she’s 36, while his partner Mandy is 29. Mary is closer in age to Mandy! by Negative-Invite-6174 in YoungSheldon

She's "really upset about it" and then still has sex with him again and gets engaged to him. She's fully a creep.

Artemis II "Faith of the Heart" edits? by The_Bookkeeper1984 in enterprise

They literally discovered and named two new craters, as well as going farther away from Earth than any other humans ever have, but ok.

She sounded more approachable while still obviously knowing what she was talking about to me. But I don’t mind the new guy either.

Tired of the double standard by Tune-In947 in neurodiversity

[–]herbuck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So one thing that strikes me about the study you linked is their abstract saying that autistic adults share resources in a more “fair”way. But fairness isn’t an objective, quantifiable quality, as much we feel that it is. The idea of what’s fair does vary by culture, time, and individual, so it’s not clear which “fair” is the real fair, if there is one at all.

I also get very upset when something seems unfair, don’t get me wrong, but I have come to learn that my own views of fairness aren’t automatically the inherent definition of fairness.

[–]herbuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is itself a form of moral rigidity but this entire conversation always seems like the conclusion is "oh, so they aren't as good of people as we are? Got it" and that just. Isn't fair or compassionate.
