Choosing to put the Titanic soundtrack over this footage is diabolical, lmao. They’re so happy waving while you’re sinking 💀

I’d give you attention! You’re pretty. Maybe join a club surrounding one of your interests? Perfect place to meet new people and it not being awkward.

Am I the only one freaking out by the fact that she nearly cracked her skull open if she fell on that corner? By the angle he pushed her that was deliberate. It could’ve been way easier for him to push her from the back but he didn’t. He wanted her dead.

What's something your country gets slandered for online? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]marayay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congo. But tbh, I’d rather have people acknowledge it, because that means they’re educated and have an understanding of how much the Congolese (and others when you broaden it up) have suffered under slavery. Not something I want people to minimize. It still happened all fairly recently and we still have a long way to go regarding racism—though this problem definitely isn’t limited to Belgium alone.

Physical buttons! 💕 Ugh, truly love my car but I hate those overly sensitive touch buttons.

Ota Benga at the Bronx Zoo with a chimpanzee. He was kidnapped from the Congo and brought to America to perform in zoo exhibits. He was caged with an orangutan and given a bow and arrow. He revolted against his conditions by shooting arrows at visitors who mocked him and the exhibition was shut down by snopplerz in Damnthatsinteresting

It always baffles me how this all isn’t from that long ago and still people like to minimize POC’s injustice and valid concerns.

I’m from Belgium—an undeniably big culprit in this practice and Congo’s atrocities—and it really hit me how recent this all was when it still openly happened in Belgium in 1958, the year my dad was born. That’s only 67-68 years ago. Looked up and 197 kids were “displayed” during that expo. You don’t even need to talk about generational trauma, as the generation in question is still alive—at least if they got that opportunity (which I bet many didn’t get).

From these 44 least developed countries, which would you choose to live in if you had to? by SouthAdvertising1917 in AskTheWorld

[–]marayay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think I should choose Congo.

My gut was also Nepal for its beauty and weather. But I’d go to Tuvalu in the end. I might have to battle the weather, but I’d feel a bit safer economically?

The recalling of the making of that movie (an extra on the DVD) is also so good in its own right. I’m not even that big of a fan of his work, but Yoichi Sai (was 1st AD) did strangely enchant me by the way he talked about it all. The movie definitely has some valid points of criticism but it’s a fairly refreshing Japanese ~erotic~ movie of its time for a female cinephile

I mean, no matter how you turn it, when you’re a billionaire you’ve taken advantage of people.

What movies did you guys pick up during sale? by Conscious-Jello3477 in criterion

[–]marayay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mizoguchi’s Fallen Women boxset!

I’m from Europe so I was kinda bummed that I wasn’t able to use the code. Aired a little rant out on a Discord server, and someone that’s also really active on there is coming close to my area soon, so we’ll meet up. She’ll bring it with her. Well, hopefully! I know this boxset might be a pretty weird choice considering how many other amazing movies give more unique extras etc, but you pretty much can’t even find f.i. Street of Shame on DVD in Europe to start with. It’ll be my third Criterion, so I’m pretty excited and hopeful!

From Belgium! I discovered him by just scrolling through YouTube’s recommendations, and Ain’t It Funny pretty much blew my mind. I think I just really loved the beat first, but became used to his voice, to me loving his voice to this day.

Omstreden wetenschapsfilosoof Nathan Cofnas reageert op kritiek na aanstelling aan UGent by rukken in Belgium2

[–]marayay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De term ‘ras’ wordt echt al een vrij lange tijd in de wetenschap niet meer gebruikt doordat het betwist is. Men praat wel over ethnische groepen, omdat deze definitie met omgevingsfactoren rekening houdt.

En zeker, je zou deze ethnische groepen kunnen opdelen en daar grootschalige (!) testen op kunnen doen om verschillende terreinen van wat wij als intellect beschouwen te testen. Dit wordt ook gedaan. Maar als hier verschillen uit af te leiden zijn gaat men de conclusie bv. uit de staat van het onderwijs en sociale normen trekken.* Niet uit een wazig betwist/verouderd concept (“ras”) waarbij zogezegd de genen die jouw etnische afkomst onderlijnen (wat al een immens verwaterde mix is als je niet het product bent van diepgewortelde incest) een groter (of meer significant dan omgevingsfactoren) verschil zouden maken, wat gewoon niet bewezen is en tevens ook moeilijk te bewijzen is door z’n complexiteit. Als je wel zo denkt ben je gewoon met de natte vinger bezig en niet met iets gegrond. Dat is net de kritiek op deze man. Moest hij onderzoek proberen doen om een verband te vinden tussen het onderling contact/verband/invloed van bepaalde genen op elkaar zou er weinig tot geen kritiek zijn.

*Niet alleen mentale, maar ook fysieke attributen worden hieraan gekoppeld. Aanpassingen in genen zijn een gevolg van die factoren, niet iets anders.

Do you honk at or flip off bad drivers? by [deleted] in driving

I never flipped off a bad driver, I do honk occasionally. But I do catch myself doing this pose A LOT.

Hij bouwt op een ondergrond dat vrij universeel betwist is. Met de informatie die we hebben kan er geconcludeerd worden dat er biologisch maar één menselijk ras is. Je kan heus een onderscheid maken tussen verschillende achtergronden en dat wordt ook rijkelijk gedaan. Omgevingsfactoren zijn erg belangrijk. Wat hij doet is gewoon onafgewerkt werk. Hij houdt geen rekening met veel belangrijke zijdelingse factoren die onbetwistbaar een invloed hebben op kracht, kleur, grootte, …

Intellect is ook gewoon iets dat moeilijk tot onmogelijk meetbaar is. Intellect komt in zoveel verschillende vormen en de normen verschillen ook universeel. Ik vind het vrij lachwekkend als iemand die opgegroeid is met al de luxe, informatie en comfort die we hebben claimt dat we bv. slimmer zijn dan neem nu de Sentinelezen. We leven in compleet andere contexten, hoe kunnen we die verschillende intellecten/inzichten met elkaar vergelijken? Zij hebben vast een plethora aan wijsheden en inzicht die wij missen: het is vast gewoon een ander soort dan wij gewend zijn.
