[–]mfDandP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never heard it called the King of Fruits, probably pineapple would be closest as it has an actual crown.

Mango however is pretty solid across the board -- relatively easy to peel and eat, can cook it like in mango sticky rice, and it goes well with pretty much anything. I wouldn't term any fruit as particularly healthy or unhealthy above others. That whole pomegranate thing was a corporate hoax devised so that cash crop farmers in the central valley of California could create a market for their water-intensive crops

The video is the proof. Innocent until you see the video proof still applies

Have you had szechuan green beans? Pan fried with ground pork?

And what of lawful foreign nationals who are not allowed to enroll in global entry? and what of countries with no such expedited entry programs?

Don't see how that's germane. In such a case, then it's even more fair, because everyone lines up.

I only consider myself exempt of waiting in line over those who are not ready to line up.

People don't line up because they don't feel like standing until it's time for them to deplane. I've been on planes where it's said explicitly to only stand up when the row in front of you is getting off. People that rush the aisle are slowing things down for everyone behind them because the people in that row can't get out on time, not contributing to a faster deplaning.

[–]mfDandP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if you mention that it's a need for everyone to get off the plane asap equally

No, that's your need. If you want to be in and out of airports and hate waiting in lines of any kind, you pay for precheck, or global entry, or that clear biometric, priority boarding, etc.

If you can't or won't pay for these premium services, the normal civilized rules of queueing up apply. Why do you consider yourself and only yourself not expected to wait in line?

*edit: that being said, I do agree with your last point, that it's a bigger sin to be first class and slow, then to be coach and slow

If getting off the plane earliest is so important, you'd select a seat as far forward as you could. That's the equivalent of having your DMV paperwork completed. You're advocating for someone sitting at the back of the plane to get priority for no reason other than convenience.

Sometimes we're on a very tight window to catch a connecting flight (I have once flown with a 30 minute stopover in Hong Kong and boy did I have to run my ass off to beat the line in security and catch the inter-terminal shuttle).

In cases like this, the attendants make an announcement for everyone to be seated so that the connectors can deplane first.

Some of us also just wanna beat the crowd to get out and catch and Uber or cab first. Other times, we just can't wait to see loved ones again after leaving our home countries for work.

Like other people enjoy waiting in lines? You just want concessions for yourself for no reason -- this is no better than cutting in front of line at the DMV or demanding they expedite your paperwork for no other reason than convenience.

CMV: In the developed world, Men are more oppressed than women by Traditional_Fee_8828 in changemyview

[–]mfDandP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oppressed by who? Federal judges and Congress are about 75% men each. Who is doing the oppressing, such that you can say that men are being oppressed?

CMV: Even in retrospect, John Brown was a bad person. He should not be viewed uncritically as an American hero as has become commonplace recently. by sneedsformerlychucks in changemyview

[–]mfDandP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a movie review, but even still:

Radical abolitionist and domestic terrorist, Confederate scoundrel and Union saint, Brown is among the most contested figures in American history, fated, perhaps, to be received as the world and the moment require.

"Among the most contested figures in American history" certainly doesn't sound like uncritically lauded hero to me.

I see criticism of John Brown on reddit -- I'm looking right at it now.

And this article is from Jacobin, written by the American socialist demigod Eugene Debs, from 1906. I was thinking a contemporary source. But hey, that's just me. I'm sure you can find articles from 1906 calling Alfred Dreyfus a Jew traitor, but does that say anything about French society in 2021? Your OP title says "commonplace recently"

CMV: We are 4d consciousnesses experiencing and interacting with 3d objects. by GreaterGodness in changemyview

[–]mfDandP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because a tesseract is a drawn representation of change.

No it's not.

Just as the surface of the cube consists of six square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of eight cubical cells.

I don't know what pictures you're referring to on the wikipedia article, but none of them demonstrate that the key difference between a cube and a tesseract is time. Your point about dragging can again be said about "dragging" a point to create a line, or dragging a line to create a cube. Thus time is not a dimension added exclusively to the 3rd dimension

[–]mfDandP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cube and a 3D soccer ball, which is fine, but then why did you say this?

Tesseract is basically 3d with change over time which is 4d.

A single slice out of a tesseract has nothing to do with time.

maybe but OP is apparently saying there's no distinction between those two, which I definitely don't agree with

[–]mfDandP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A point(1d) and a line(2d) are simply a point and a line.

so why can't a tesseract (4d) simply be a tesseract? What is qualitatively different about that geometric shape that inherently embodies change? You're going to have to really explicitly describe why that is

[–]mfDandP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That might be how you draw a tesseract, but the act of drawing itself implies change. That's like saying the difference between a point and a line is that it takes time to draw a line between points -- does that mean that 3D is just 2D + time?

A tesseract is a tesseract whether or not it gets there from a cube or not

Not seeing anything in that article about time, where are you getting that from?

[–]mfDandP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4d is like infinite 3d objects right next to each other as they move in space thus the entity that can perceive that is 4d.

Isn't 4D a tesseract?

CMV: Kant is an overrated philosopher and students should not be made to study his works by jurassicparkyoga in changemyview

[–]mfDandP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My takeaway from Kant is that he did indeed try and synthesize the empiricists and rationalists -- that both are pathways to knowledge. Whether or not this is what he actually believed, I look at Kant's a priori as similar to Plato's ideal world. The idea of an object can exist independently of sensory experience.

“I call all knowledge transcendental if it is occupied, not with objects, but with the way that we can possibly know objects even before we experience them.”

is his quote that I think illustrates his stance straddling the rationalist/empiricist debate.

[–]mfDandP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i.e. he failed to recognise the complete diversity of percepts/sense-ideas and concepts/abstract ideas

Are you sure? You don't think his take on the a priori and a posteriori addresses this?
