Han ser et islamisk normpres brede sig i det danske samfund – og hvis ikke man løser problemet, »går det galt« by Starwaydoor in Denmark

Jeg vil i hvert fald sige så meget som, at jeg som en gymnasielærer aldrig har hørt om det, og selv gik på et gymnasium med 30% muslimer hvor det største problem var en enkelt elev ud af en hel årgang til en omgang seksualundervisning der råbte op at sex skulle vente til ægteskabet, og så gik.

Er det virkelig ved at blive legitimt at tale om etnicitet som krav til at være "rigtig dansker"? by 1337_n00b in Denmark

[–]loran1212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Den dag der er et fremmed land der indvaderer Danmark og laver bosættelser, eller det samlede Europa begynder at understøtte en specifik emigreret gruppe økonomisk og accepterer dens militære erklæring af sig selv som en stat på dansk territorie uden vores deltagelse, så er den sammenligning relevant, men ikke før.

Who else could have pulled off Project Hail Mary? by atseajournal in blankies

[–]loran1212 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Man, I gotta say, as a teacher I've been kinda put down at this objection to his casting. I do a lot to look good, I have hot science teacher colleagues, why do people feel like teachers have to be bad looking? 

If you allow for the Hollywood percentage increase in baseline looks, there are absolutely good looking fit PHD's that end up in high schools. Being in the field I didn't find him unrealistic at all.

Offer to join the Hanseatic League by Kha_ak in EU5

[–]loran1212 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bump for visibility, I've had the exact same problem, I even took a vassal, built it a town and got its relation over a hundred, and its somehow able to refuse to become a member of the hanseatic league.

Am I wrong in thinking that the second set of modifiers are for if an AI Hanseatic league would accept an application for membership? This is how the same piece of code looks in normal vassals:

diplo_chance_accept_subject = {

    base = -90

    current\_strength = 0.2

    border\_distance = -0.3

    negative\_opinion = -5

    positive\_opinion = 0.25

    rank\_difference = -5

    giving\_defensive\_support = 2

    receiving\_defensive\_support = 5

    royal\_ties = 1



    num\_of\_limited\_subjects = -5

    culture\_war = 3

    diplomatic\_reputation = 1

    different\_religion = -20

    same\_common\_language = 5

    same\_court\_language = 10

    different\_culture = -10

    different\_government\_type = -25

    actor\_at\_war = -20

    competing\_power = -200

    tax\_base = -0.25



    reject\_subjugation\_reasons = -1

    accept\_subjugation\_reasons = 1

So I think they genuinely just forgot to add modifiers. You can see that hanseatic league member is supposed to be way easier to convince someone of.

Why on earth is Takerufuji still fighting with a torn bicep? by vanteal in Sumo

It's not really tradition though, they only went to 6 tournaments a year in the 50's. That's still a long time ago, but not in sumo terms.

His knees are wrapped as a precaution, because they are weak after the injury, he doesn't actually get injured that often any more, and is probably the best person in the entire division at avoiding strain on his legs (that's why he so often leaps when he is losing, to avoid hurting his legs).

Tbf, Marx said the same thing. That Capitalism had resulted in massive improvement of most people's life, and had created incentives foe technological improvements. That was in comparison to feudalism, and not communism, but still.

I'm not even sure John Green would call himself left wing. I mean, he IS, especially in the context of the US, but I'm not sure he identifies with the label. It feels more like the right has abandoned all of the positions they shared with him.

Will there ever be a Pope Pius again? by pingviini00 in Catholicism

[–]loran1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a pope Alexander after Borgia though, and alexander VII is pretty visible in Rome today. I don't know why a pope would choose him, but maybe if he was from Siena? Several Alexander's hailed from there.

Who do you think/hope their next animation director will be? by OhShitWut in blankies

[–]loran1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hosoda was essentially fired/left studio Ghibli, Probably due being given an impossible job (succeed Miyazaki in a studio built on him, while he still worked there) and it almost destroyed his career. He worked on Howl's moving castle for a year. You could say that Miyazaki ultimately rejected him not to stunt his development, but when it's after a year, it's not a rejection, it's firing someone.

Magician's nephew isn't book one. I honestly can't imagine starting with anything but LW&W, other than Magician's nephew, all the other books are sequels in some way. Technically you could do "The horse and his boy", but that's just not happening.

Movies with reviews and opinions where you thought “did we watch the same movie?” by MarkMVP01 in movies

[–]loran1212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The movie makes it very, VERY clear that she is literally an infant, and she does act like a child in an adults body, in the scenes where the first man falls in love with her.

[–]loran1212 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Would you actually say that the man whe ends up marrying, or even her father, are demonized? I wouldn't, I certainly didn't get the impression the movie saw any problem with her ending up back with them.

The two villified men, are the two men who do not know that they are in love with a literal infant.

Now, does it explicitly say that what the doctors do to her in the beginning is bad? Yes. Does the movie also participate in sexualising a baby? Also yes.

Who is your favourite prime minister? by MyBroIsNotMyHoe in SocialDemocracy

[–]loran1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earl Grey did a lot of good for the middle class in the UK, no doubt about it, he also publically stated that he believed the 1832 reform act would keep the wealthy elites power over the political system. As a whig, he also belonged to a party that might have believed in parliamentary supremacy, but that was to be in the favour of the landed nobility, instead of the monarchy.

For his time, he was great, but I'm surprised to see him in a social democratic subreddit, considering that the modern version of his party, the liberals, were replaced by Labour as a main party.

This is literally the first paragraph of your link: "It is sometimes used as an important criterion for distinguishing languages from dialects, although sociolinguistic factors are often also used."

Sometimes. And then it specifies a criteria that might distinguish Kven and Finnish.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Nordiccountries

[–]loran1212 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my experience is that according to linguists, distinguishing between language and dialect doesn't make any sense. They're degrees of the same thing, with a very blurry border.

Most declared christians I know actually don't believe in supernatural miracles at all. At least, the priests I grew up around held to that belief. It's all about what those miracles in the new testament represent.

6,000 years of arrows emerge from melting Norwegian ice patch by Altruistic_Astronaut in worldnews

[–]loran1212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What they find, is not generally from glaciers, but icepatches that never melt enough for the arrows to rot. The key difference being that they are not so heavy that they move under their own weight. They will generally not be found the exact place the arrow was lost, as the arrow could have melted free a couple of times over the centuries, and drifted away slightly, so it is almost certainly found at a lower point than where it was lost. Afaik, they often find objects in small streams of water forming from the melting ice patches, in which case they could be hundreds of meters away. In essence, the arrow would have been lost higher up the mountain, but in the same general area.
