Some men...
  • He's not teaching advanced science concepts, you don't need a background in science to teach bog-standard science to children

    Science Guy is there to get kids excited about science, not to enforce scientific rigor

  • "I don't appreciate you Brits using/changing our language without consent"
  • Most differences in UK-US English are due to the US sticking with original pronunciations of words, with changes being made by the UK, OR by the US focusing more on Latin-derived pronunciations of worlds of Latin origin. It's literally "The US didn't change the language drastically, the UK just changed the words and pronunciations of things and decided that the ones who didn't change are wrong"

  • Isekai
  • Isekai is wish fulfillment plus doing worldbuilding and exposition simultaneously without having a disembodied narrator

    It's efficient for the format it takes place in, and why a lot of lazy game narration gives in-world characters amnesia

  • People want 'dumbphones'. Will companies make them?
  • Legit the cheapo plastic screens on the less than $100 phones are the most resilient phones i've ever owned

    I had a chunk of metal fall on one, and the only thing it did was INDENT the screen, the plastic was soft enough to bend rather than just crack

  • yogi knows
  • I still think the bear question is completely loaded

    I would ALWAYS choose the bear. Everyone I know would ALWAYS choose the bear. If the random man was a person they were close to, most people would STILL choose the bear because bears are rad as hell

  • What are your thoughts on DEI?
  • If they didn't force a requirement, Unis would "only take the most qualified candidates", which over 90%+ of the time would bar Black and Hispanic non-athletes because it so happens that they didn't have the generational wealth required to have both a stable home environment and access to good schooling, meanwhile the white students with parents and grandparents who got access to extremely affordable property investments can coast right into college

  • What are your thoughts on DEI?
  • Long and short of it is

    Black people move from the South to Northern cities during Jim Crow/already lived in the area with the densest population (because everyone did) >

    White people move away from cities (including those in the north) during desegregation (some suburbs still have bylaws that forbid nonwhites from living there!), but still opt to work in said cities >

    Schools are established in the newly built suburb communities that are paid for by suburb's homeowner taxes >

    The people left to pick up the tax burden for the schools are those that remained in the cities >

    Schools become hilariously defunded that you can actually measure someone's potential income by their ZIP code >

    Measures were put in place so that those from these schools might actually have a shot at getting into college, because underfunded schools dont exactly lead to competitive college candidates >

    Around the mid-2000s a bunch of conservatives and radio shock jocks pushed the narrative that "they are forcing white people out of college/[insert skilled field here]" which evolved to "white people are at a disadvantage when getting into college/[insert skilled field here]" which evolved to "they are letting 'non-qualified' people get into college/[insert skilled field here]"

  • Son, we need to have a serious talk!
  • imo for pedants like myself, it needs to be made clear if the bear is LIKELY to harm you

    If its a black bear, red panda, or the like that is not even fair, EVERYONE would rather be with a bear that doesnt want to be near you rather than some potentially dangerous rando
