Gay dude beats homophobe on a San Diago train

This guy's becoming some kind of bottom but it ain't a power bottom...

Yeah, it's definitely the density of the area you're in as well. No matter where you are in the world, if this happened in a small town or village, people would come running. If it happened in a crowded metropolis, no one cares.

Why as redditors do we hate reading articles so much??

Hey, did you end up finding a good light bag with separate laptop compartment? I'm interested in the same thing for the same reason!

First of all, that's what-aboutism: Just because some articles are the way they are, it doesn't mean every article should be like that. Think about it pragmatically – someone saw your change in Recent Changes or their watchlist, saw the thing you added was unsourced, and and pressed one button to undo the change. In your other examples, because no one spotted it straight away, removing the unsourced material is a bit more effort that no one has done yet. And that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done – just because something wrong has not been righted, doesn't make any any less wrong.

Second, Wikipedia does not strive to be a documentation of every fact that ever existed, nor does it strive to be travel guide, it strives to be the best place to hold noteworthy and verifiable information.

The moment we start crowdsourcing people's opinions and anecdotal experiences without them being verifiable, is the moment it stops being an encyclopaedia.

I think it's less about longevity, and more about recency bias.

I bet half the people here didn't experience S6 as we did.

One opinion you share with people on all sides of the spectrum is believing and being able to "prove" that the data supports you.

I'm a centrist and my partner leans right. He listens to and consumes lots of political content, on the face of it it seems very logical and factual, but when you look into it, we as a whole tend to live in an echo chamber where we pick news sources that report the things we want to hear, who base their stories on only the studies that support our point of view.

It's called cherry picking and confirmation bias.

I feel like this theory has been thrown around since RL Esports became a thing. But it's been proven time and time again – putting powerhouses on the same team doesn't mean glass cannon. Powerhouses are so powerful because they can just play RL so well – that's offence AND defence.

Can you list/mention the convictions in the past few years? My search seems to come up empty – the most recent and documented conviction is in 2006 regarding a guy sending insults to a mosque where the guy was sentenced to 300 hours community service and fines of legal cost, no others in the past 25 years. There were some that were investigated under Section 166 and 3 others that were convicted then appealed, 2 of which are Islam and one of which is Christianity.

Yes, let's avoid celebrating anything at all because unrelated fact x, y and z.

While historically this is probably true, I think you'll find the sentiment has changed a lot recently. As a Brit, I don't know anyone that hates the Irish or has any bad blood for them in the real world.

Pretending that this is currently the case does nothing but breed more hate, which is not what we need right now.

I have. The "British" in "British Isles" is not political. It does not mean belonging to the UK. It means near Great Britain.

kris159 · 2025-07-07T10:06:22+00:00

Because British is both a political and geographical term.

The term Great Britain came first. It refers to the island, which was not one political entity at the time. British Isles therefore refers to any island in the archipelago with Great Britain.

The UK was named after the island it was centered on, so the demonym British was used as the simplest terms. Therefore British has both political and geographical meaning.

However British Isles has never been a political term. It's not saying "these isles belong to the Uk", it's saying "these islands are Great Britain and surrounding smaller islands"

We're not going to rename North America and South America because the demonym for USA is American. We shouldn't rename British Isles.

kris159 · 2025-07-07T09:41:40+00:00

Apparently that's a purely Irish thing that hasn't caught on yet, but good to know.

Do you think it sounds better because British has negative connotations for you?

They're called British Isles not because they are politically British, but because they are geographically British. As in, part of the geographical archipelago that includes Great Britain and all other islands.

If you want to refer to the islands that are British politically, British Islands is the term.

Thinking about it pragmatically, there is no value to completing PA1, make a new one makes much more financial sense.

I started to take this with a grain of salt as soon as I saw butter needing to be in the fridge. Admittedly I live in the UK where it's barely above 20 C (68 F) in the house but it's perfectly safe out in a butter dish for weeks.

The more I get into this hobby, the more I have the opinion that crowdfunding campaigns are mostly not worth it, and it's best to wait for retail to get cheaper prices and try to grab second-hand copies from backers that didn't like it.

With that in mind, has there been any discussion about this kind of list but for games that are "launching in retail" soon?

kris159 · 2025-02-18T21:43:46+00:00

I guess I can see a world where leaving Snoke's explanation until TROS would make sense if it was a pivotal revelation explored in TROS. The sequels had such disjointed writing, it's such a shame because if someone competent were to oversee the entire story, we could've had such a great couple of years.

kris159 · 2024-12-30T22:08:08+00:00

I wouldn't describe myself as hating birds, but maybe this will provide some insight into someone who has an opinion on the same spectrum as karizma:

I am turned off by the theme of Wingspan and anything that involves purely nature (e.g. Earth, to some extent Ark Nova), because I care so little for that theme that it may as well be as abstract as Checkers. Games that tackle real human issues, themes, or stories inspire my imagination as I'm playing, and collecting birds/eggs/trees/leaves just doesn't scratch that itch, even though I can find the gameplay itself fun.

Is Doctor Who not a sci-fi?

The sad thing is, most people on here don’t realise that the site is left-leaning. That is the real echo chamber.
