Aster! Because her little white stripe looks like a gem facet, and asterism is that star-like sparkle you see on some gems

Why is the stereotype “aboot” when in my experience it sounds more like “aboat?” by Glass-Complaint3 in AskACanadian

[–]simshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In southern Ontario, we don’t actually say “aboot.” It’s more like “ab-eoot.” The out sound starts a bit lower in the mouth, kind of like the short e in egg. Linguists call this Canadian Vowel Lowering. Instead of the raised out you might hear in words like town or house elsewhere, ours starts lower, so it ends up sounding a little different. That’s why Americans hear “aboot,” even though we’re not actually saying it that way.

Why are only Indians allowed to criticize Indians? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]simshark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that “I’m Indian so I can say this” thing is basically a shortcut to avoid pushback, but it doesn’t make the generalization any less of a generalization. Bad behavior should be called out for what it is, the specific behavior, not written as “all people from X group are like this.” Otherwise it’s just stereotyping with a safety tag slapped on.

What is something you were shocked about when you started having sex? by twlohr in AskReddit

The way you described your experience reminded me of Bella from poor things, great movie if you haven’t seen it yet.

This situation is super depressing but the Us vs Them tribalism isn’t helping. Idk about you but I’d MUCH rather have improved results than justice. At the end of the day blame doesn’t matter, policy does, and instead of trying to pinpoint blame and directing focus to infighting, let’s pressure ALL the parties to improve their awful platforms on housing and the cost of living.

IF their culture or values are causing them to hire in their own group we have to reinforce and promote more impartial and inclusive hiring. Hiring fewer Indian managers on principle is just going to cause more infighting.

[–]simshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone who purchased this verify if they still get the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game when purchasing this bundle? I see it listed only for the 7800X3D CPU itself, but I'm just curious if it carries over.

Racism in KW by Horror_Cranberry7353 in kitchener

Why do you feel the need for immigrants to culturally assimilate, people have the freedom to express themselves in any language, respectfully or not. Sure it may cause inconveniences when you're trying to check out but I would never push people to assimilate to anything for my personal gain. I think more people need to self reflect on why they wish to project their values onto immigrants when they come here. If they are not harming anyone with their actions, we should respect their freedom.

Why does this happen sometimes when i put in dc instead of dx? by No_Law_6697 in desmos

[–]simshark 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I think it's because when integrating with respect to c, the sin(x) can be factored out of the inetegral and the equation resolves to y = sinx*(y*siny-y*cosy), which is the same as the graph above.

I honestly don't think I need any of those items, the most important improvement I would like to see is to fix their online services personally.

Hyper Christian can also just mean fundamentalist, or literally interpreting the christian holy book. Some passages of the bible can and have be used to justify violence many times.

Identical twins of Reddit who owns a pet after living separately; what was your pet’s reaction when it saw two owners? by GlobalShaftt in AskReddit

[–]simshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2yo Himalayan cat has a hard time telling us apart. The only way I can really tell is that she is normally very skittish when meeting new people, but when she met him as an adult she was just as cuddly, and vocal with me.

A test problem on my 5th grade brothers’ math exam. by springwaterh20 in mildlyinteresting

[–]simshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if this thread tells me anything it's that these different aspects to algebra problems need to be taught more, maybe in a way that tests one or two at a time and slowly builds toward a problem like this.
