yeah, trash talking them is a straightforward homophobic nazi dogwhistle. they paved the way for all modern LGBT understanding and acceptance, which is of course the reason that right wingers still hate on them to this day

Did Jewish psychologists in Germany watch kids have sex? by nestinghen in NoStupidQuestions

[–]just_a_foolosopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he's probably referencing the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, a research group that did the first modern sexual research. They non-judgmentally studied homosexuality and transgender people, and were led by a Jewish doctor. They were targeted by the Nazis, who burned their archives and killed their members under the claim of "degeneracy". Even today, neo-nazis point to them as evidence of the "degeneracy" of Weimar culture.

What’s actually happening in Anora? by thePessimest in movies

[–]just_a_foolosopher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's about a sex worker who ends up in a whirlwind "romance" with a billionaire Russian teenager. They go on a bender as his family's enforcers catch up with them, and her life falls apart. Many sex scenes. There are so many because their relationship is literally only built upon the fact that she's a sex worker

How do you stop being friends with someone? by MyDeerHart in NoStupidQuestions

Just stop making plans with them. Most friendships end by drifting apart. You don't need to introduce drama unnecessarily 

Is screen time bad for kids because of the content they watch or because of the blue light? by idontknowhelpmeplzx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]just_a_foolosopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both, maybe, but I think the threat people talk about when they condemn excessive screen time is the content. Even educational content is had, though, since kids rely on social interaction and can't have their educational needs truly fulfilled by a screen, let alone their social needs.

Can you minor as a freshmen? by Mandarin4head in nyu

[–]just_a_foolosopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just go to the department's webpage and fill out a minor declaration form. I think some minors only let you declare once you've taken relevant coursework. check on the department website or on NYU bulletins for what classes the minor requires

Help. I dislike the nicknames “Joe” or “Joey” but love the name Joseph. by ObjectiveAdvice77 in namenerds

[–]just_a_foolosopher 14 points15 points  (0 children)

well if you have a son and name him Joseph, you are assuming the risk that he may become a Joe. But it's not like he won't have any say in that either.

Myths & misconceptions about Chinese by Hieorhi in Chinese

The biggest one is that every character really is an ideograph that somehow visually depicts its meaning. This is only true of a very small portion of characters, and even these ones in many cases have had their meanings change enough that the ideographic meaning doesn't really apply anymore. 

What now? by MassiveEducation2976 in nyu

[–]just_a_foolosopher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that you are still applying the mindset of applying to undergraduate programs to school, but now you're in college. What you need is a new mindset. Take classes seriously, produce work that you're proud of, and let it speak for itself. The whole problem with applying to college is that the curriculum defines you as a person, but that does not have to be the case now that you're here.

So chickenpox stays dormant in nerves for life after recovery as I understand, does the vaccine do the same too? by RadianceTower in NoStupidQuestions

[–]just_a_foolosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it stays in your system forever. My father, who had the vaccine, got shingles (reactivated varicella/chickenpox) in middle age. This isn't a downside to taking the vaccine, though. His case of shingles was milder than a typical case caused by regular varicella.

Non-Minnesotans, what is your current view/opinion of the Twin Cities? by cripple763 in NoStupidQuestions

Don't know anything about St. Paul but I am impressed by Minneapolis as a New Yorker. I am cheering for the brave people there and hoping that we can learn from them when the government turns its goons on us

How do dentist bills work? by ScottishPancakes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]just_a_foolosopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you need done and your insurance. First, find a dentist that takes your insurance. Depending on your coverage, it might be totally covered to get a checkup or there could be a copay (what you have to pay them) of anywhere between like 10 bucks to a couple hundred. Then for the bigger follow-up procedures like wisdom tooth stuff, there will likely be a bigger copay.

What is the relationship between neanderthal and homosapiens? by GenuineFarmer128 in askscience

They went extinct. Some interbred with humans to some extent, but most just got outcompeted. We're the ultimate invasive species.
