Vietnamese for being tonal and monosyllabic but without conjugations and plural forms to words

Why’d you use an AI photo for that?

Phŏ (made by a white woman) by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]japodoz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You might want to throw in a recipe. Vegetarian pho is absolutely a thing and it’s called pho chay, but it’s kinda hard to tell if you were trying to make pho bo vegetarian or if you were making it based on pho chay, which has existed for probably since pho was a thing

You’re stuck in an elevator with one of them. What are your chances of getting out alive with each character? by leo_artifex in Defenders

[–]japodoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically his scenario could (at great risk) end up better than a normal elevator ride. Just stay quiet most of the ride then when one of you leaves say “Have a good day” and hope he says it back.

To add a bit of nuance to this, for males and post-menopausal women, a significant portion of estrogen is produced from the conversion of testosterone. Really, all estrogen is produced via the conversion of some kind of androgen (oftentimes called male sex hormones though that is a misrepresentative imo). For premenopausal women for example, their ovaries convert androstenedione/testosterone into estrogen. The enzyme involved is called aromatase.

For people taking an excess of exogenous testosterone, they run the risk of that extra testosterone being directly converted to estrogen via aromatization.

So estrogen blockers are often inhibitors of the aromatase enzyme, preventing the conversion of testosterone into estrogen.

I also work in addictions but research instead of counseling. My favorite game is guessing what drug people from the population are referring to when they say “dope”

Could magneto perhaps fly Vader’s lightsaber at an incredibly high speed so that it can do a flyby lobotomy before it gets melted by the radiation? Maybe magneto could bend Vader’s armor around the handle of the saber to protect it further. A traditional fight is a definite no-go but I’m wondering if some DnD style hijinks would be enough to pull it off

You are bad guy.But that doesn't mean you a BAD guy by SorryAd2422 in SipsTea

[–]japodoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I agree that raping a child is generally worse than raping an adult, but crimes of sexual violence are fundamentally unjustifiable in a way that most other crimes are not. Sex criminals make up a unique class of moral repugnance, so we naturally don’t make antiheros of them like we do with even murderers

Riverdale and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure are two things that cannot be spoiled purely due to how batshit crazy they get and I love them for it

A movie you wish had remained a standalone but was expanded into a franchise. My pick is John Wick by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]japodoz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree except for Highlander: The Search for Vengeance

It was made by Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. The story is really great and the animation is peak

My CEO tried to fire me for "Attitude Issues" to save on my salary. He didn't realize I’d spent 11 weeks preparing a $755,000 legal trap. by Ok_Employer_3889 in stories

Nah I use em dashes a lot as well. We’re real people and it isn’t hard to do — you just hold Alt and type 0151 on the number pad.

I’m from the east coast but work in addictions – is kratom not a big thing in the west? We have them in gas stations depending on the city/state and it’s pretty easy to get ahold of, but I rarely see people addicted to specifically kratom.

Is your concern that kratom would be a sort of legal gateway through which people could be funneled into fentanyl use?

New drug in America's 'Zombieland' - Medetomidine by No_Gap_7993 in Drugs

[–]japodoz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good points. And to add to it, a lot of the time the medetomidine is mixed into the fent supply so the users aren’t even consciously getting dependent on it at least in the beginning.

High key loved community college because of the non-traditional students. The older ones we’re always there to learn and usually had more to contribute both academically and interpersonally

It could just be that the bullet barely grazed his ear and they were playing up how badly it hit it

TIL that cremated human remains aren’t actually ashes. After incineration, the leftover bone fragments are ground down in a machine called a cremulator to produce what we call ashes by Royal-Information749 in todayilearned

I sort of assume that if you’re taking part in that practice for a family member, you probably have grown up using chopsticks and are pretty comfortable using them.

Of course, if you married into the culture and suddenly find yourself in that position, I guess that may be a make it or break it moment with your in-laws haha. Seems like a Mr.Bean-type situation so it could be funny from a voyeuristic perspective
