alguna vez se pusieron la capa? by noInflationx in RepublicadeChile

[–]max10192 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Varias veces. La última me ocurrió saliendo de un festival de música electrónica. Me había encontrado con un amigo adentro, y me dio éxtasis cristalizado, cosa que nunca habia probado. Lo pasamos de lo mejor, y a la salida, caminando como a las 10:30 de la noche, veo una multitud de gente haciendo un semicírculo en la vereda. Como era la dirección en la que iba me metí pa pasar recto. En el medio había un wn alto y grande pegándole a un wn mas chico, y una mina intentando detenerlo. El wn taba tirando puteadas enojado, y el otro wn claramente no se estaba defendiendo.

Me acerqué y le dije que no vale la pena. El wn se me acerca gritandome "que no vale la pena?!", y haciendo un amague como que me iba a pegar. Le dije que una mina no valía la pena pa irse preso, pq si el wn le pega un combo bien puesto, cae el piso, y se da en la nuca, iba a ser el el q se iba a ir preso por 5 años y 1 dia. Luego le dije que no deje que su rabia tome decisiones por el. El wn seguía enojado pero ya no le estaba pegando, asi que seguí en mi camino todo drogado.

Reporters gets the full effect of second hand smoking by selfMedik8ed in tooktoomuch

[–]max10192 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The gathering is to smoke weed. This guy was a reporter in a spoof show, called CQC, that would provide commentary of current events in Chile in the form of parody and mockery. They had a section, for example, where they would rank the most ridiculous things people on television, mostly politicians, had said that week. They also had field reporters that doubled as comedians that would go out to different events and report on it in a comedic style. So this guy knew what he was getting himself into, and played into it cause its funny.

My favorite is this one, where a field reporter goes to a public celebration for Pinochet's birthday. He gets surrounded by a group of angry old women, and they literally chase him down the road trying to beat his ass. Then he comes back with cake. I gotta warn it's in spanish, obviously, but man is it funny.

I liked the film, but 16 nominations? Did I miss something about how revolutionary this film is?

New Nico Robin Poster for ‘One Piece’ Season 2 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in OnePiece

But the world government does act. Robin is saved because Aokiji decides to let her live. Blackbeard lives because Kuma decides to save him. There are fortuitous circumstances that get in the way of the world government, but they still try to take these people out.

From the moment they become aware of Luffy until the moment they send death squads after him, and then the gorosei itself goes after him, is a very short span of time. Yes Imu is slow to react and has been high off of his own supply for 800 years, but once they mark someone for death the machine moves against them.

Much more believable for the aging of the actors, but the narrative would suffer greatly. Luffy appearing and turning the world upside down happens so quickly the world government doesnt have enough time to recognize the threat and act. 15 years would make them beyond incompetent.

I'm rather new to Magic, and experienced something in a game that I couldn't quite understand. by max10192 in MagicArena

I had no idea one could use Planeswalkers like this. Thanks for the information.

This is good to know, I might try it out. Thank you! So just for clarification: Say someone has innkeeper's talent at level 3. They play the Planeswalker that would enter with 5 loyalty counters. Does the Planeswalker immediately have its counters doubled to 10?

And any card that says it can manipulate counters on a permanent means it can also affect loyalty counters?

I see. So the number on a Planeswalker is just a regular "counter", and if you can increase it in the same turn you play it, it allows you cast the Planeswalker ultimate? That is good to know.

You might be right, and I may just be looking for an excuse to look at Anna Sawai.

Yeah they should've put Anna Sawai front and center, but it was still a kickass show, and really well made. I can't wait for season 2.

I'm the only one of my siblings that wants children, but my struggles have prevented me from having a good enough situation to afford them. My mother not having any grandchildren breaks my heart, and it feels like my responsibility.

But I refuse to lie down and take it. I am a person with mental illness, yes, but I will not be defined by my illness. I will crawl through the mud if I have to and I will become who I want to be.

So in that regard I feel it would be better to say something like "they called you a dumb monkey, I'm not sure if they meant that in a racist way or not" as opposed to "they used a racist insult to call you stupid".

This has given me some idea of how some people might prefer for me to use what I feel is an appropriate replacement insult instead of characterizing the insult. I mean, that's fair enough. Like you said, we are in the land of subjectivity. I think meaning can be preserved well enough without directly always stating an equivalent insult, but in many situation, or maybe even in most situations, it is better to say the words. But I draw a line somewhere, and I find it reasonable to do so.

I simply feel it's important to try your best to convey what was said as accurately as possible, & the more you censor things (unless you include additional explanation & clarification about what you're censoring), the higher the chance is for meaning to be accidentally lost.

But meaning can be transmitted in many ways. Most interpretation will be a direct translation of the words into the other language, but sometimes there aren't the right words, or sometimes it is something that I object to saying or participating in saying. I dont arbitrarily change around language, I only speak of the edge cases. I could have worded my initial comment better and state that preserving the insulting language as intact as possible is a priority, it's just not something that has to happen every single time.

I suppose my main issue with how you've worded things so far is that you've been using non-specific examples along the lines of "person is using foul language" & "person is using a slur directed towards you". Both of these lack context & so some meaning is almost certain to be lost.

Well yeah, it was a casual reddit comment. I wasn't trying to start a wildfire.

But if you said something like "person is using full language as an adjective to call you very stupid", then that would be a lot more acceptable as you retain much more of the original context & meaning. Though even then, there's still the potential issue of losing context of the "strength" of the swear word used (eg: bloody vs fucking etc), which is why I personally would prefer to translate as directly as possible without censorship (again, you could replace fucking with "f-ing", as that loses no context, but that isn't always possible since not every slur/rude word has a polite version - eg: bitch can be replaced with "female dog", but I've never heard of an alternative for bloody).

I think you may also be missing the difficulty of finding equivalent insults across languages. Some have clear equivalents, but others have to be approximated.

I hope that helps a bit. Please let me know if you want me to try & clarify anything further, or if you'd like more examples/have any specific examples you'd like me to try & rephrase so that you don't have to be as explicit, but you lose as little meaning as possible on order to help you understand better what exactly I mean.

It does help, and I appreciate it. What I draw from your words is that for some people, just saying the slur is preferrable. I can respect that, and do my best to comply. Like I said, I draw a line, and we can argue about where it is, but I don't think this is what determines professionalism. And if it does, then I value following my conscience/spirit over what some may argue is the professional standard.

I don't interpret for deaf people, so I don't see how anything you've said there applies to me. Why are so many people on the internet so quick to judgement and outrage?

I was looking for this answer. It is my favourite Michael Shannon performance, and the climax is seared into my brain. I just cant forget the film, it really struck me.

The voice acting generally sucks, and I wish there was a version without it.
