- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 1 week ago:
I’m trying to tell you that privilege affects us all. im saying that words like ‘i don’t see it here’ are a form of dismissal you need to be wary of using. Im not “trampling on STEM”, im explaining that preconceived notions of fairness you have can color your perspective, because you have not been forced to see otherwise. when i said “be careful not to dismiss”, i meant that your words were toeing the line towards dismissal. i can see upon reread that it could be taken worse than i intended, so i’ll be even clearer in saying “you must be careful not to”, not “you’re being dismissive right now”.
my whole point is: privilege is a double-edged sword and despite trying, your position in society means you cannot see these things as well as those who are forced to see.
Do you fundamentally disagree with this concept? Do you believe that what I’m saying is possible? I’m not coming at you from a high horse, im saying these things as someone who has reevaluated my own privilege and wants to share what I’ve learned.

If someone claims that women are held to a higher standard, I think asking “how is it possible that on average, at all levels, they get higher grades and they are the majority of students?” is a fair question.
No, it completely misunderstands ops point, and i am flabbergasted that you should double-down like this. Can you provide for me other meanings for ops point? what “held to a higher standard” might actually mean? Until you can tell me how “but girls grades were higher ipso facto they were not held to higher standards” your spurious refutation of ops point is dismissed.
I have no interest to debate or invalidate one’s experience, maybe this cannot be generalized if there are quite glaring issues with statistical data.
i don’t believe you, because that’s exactly what you are doing. if you’re not interested, stop doing it?
- Comment on Anon pitches the next big movie adaptation of a video game 1 week ago:
i enjoyed the Minecraft movie. i wouldn’t say it was great, but i was watching it with my nephews and had fun. it helped that mamoa and black were clearly having fun doing it and had good chemistry together.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 1 week ago:
im sorry, i want to answer you but you need to rewrite that whole mess, it’s intolerably difficult to read (unless you’re really just tellin a woman “this unrelated data doesn’t match your life experience”).
that would be comically stupid and sexist, and proving OP right!
I must be missing something. Maybe you’re doing a bit of satire? Embracing the stereotype of “italians=super-sexist”?
naw. I gotta be reading it wrong.
please rewrite this in italian so i can see the nuance lost in the translation
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 1 week ago:
Granted, i’m a man
you haven’t noticed racism and sexism because you are a male who’s the proper color for the region in which you reside.
male privilege and white privilege are often misunderstood to mean like “special privileges” and poopoo’d because plenty of white men struggle to get by in this world, but that’s not what it means.
it means the privilege of ‘being taken seriously’, the privilege of ‘benefit is the doubt’, privilege of ‘basic respect and decency’.
it also has the benefit/drawback of ‘privilege to be blind of misogyny/racism’. I believe you wholeheartedly when you say you’ve never seen it, but that’s the “privilege”.
The responsibility you hold in return for this “privilege” is you must believe the words of peeps who don’t share when they tell you their experiences. after all, why would you see these things? How else would you experience them when you aren’t directly a part of them?
'course you wouldn’t! That’s fine! Normal! why would you see them? those things aren’t directed at you. that’s really all the “privilege” is!
back to responsibility, be careful not to dismiss the words of people who have direct experiences of racism and sexism just because they don’t match your own. remember, these things aren’t directed at you!
have a good one

Eh, the argument was never civil. I don’t like the whole schtick of “showing immense disrespect buuut not actually name-calling” i see so many lowbrow edgelords employ. That sulky teen shit makes me maldy as all get out. I get there’s gotta be lines somewhere an i crossed em, but i gots to call a spade by its name.
Anyway have a great morning

My perspective is quite clear. I’m calling you a liar and (because liars are such) a loser, in no uncertain terms. Pretending authority is your only tactic. As the likely old-head here I deny you my permission to “be the adult in the room”

Adults don’t dance around semantics in debate when they’re called out. I told you to stand up and this is your response? Mebbe you’re not even hidin! Maybe it’s the only way you can talk?
I guess you disagree, but I find your speech pattern embarrassing and tiring.
Be better eh? For me

It’s not required watching but it’s pretty good. Holds up better than a lot of old films! If you like part I, part II is great (actually my favorite).
Fun fact: when you see Marlon Brando ‘searching for words’ in a scene, its not always “acting”. He often forgot his lines and had crew members standing around with lines written on signs to help him remember
- Comment on Anon is at a work function 4 weeks ago:
“If I’m not being paid, I’m not coming” is something i make clear with my bosses early on. It doesn’t ingratiate me to mgmt, but i already tried the “team player” route and it’s an investment with no fucking returns. I’m to old to fuck around, I’m only there to get paid, miss me with that off-hours shit. i have enough friends and bossman aint never gonna be one of em.

I disagree, the chops are doing good work on this face, accentuating his cheekbones, pointing to his lips and narrowing the jawline to de-roundify his dome. Judging by the thinness of the chin hair it’s quite likely he simply can’t go full Riker, so though I’m not a mutton man either i think he’s making the most of what’s he’s got

It had been a long battle for survival, but he managed to stop the imbeciles from defeating him for real. Tabuu, though, had been weakened during the battle. As he floated along in the void of the Subspace surrounded by darkness and swirling purple and blue colors, he reflected on the disastrous end of the battle.
Master Hand had shown up right before Tabuu could terminate the big group of Smashers. As a last ditch attempt, the omnipotent hand used his space-bending powers to recall each one of the Smashers to their worlds, back into the past before they participated in the Brawl tourney and the war against the Subspace Army. He then called Crazy Hand, and both of them escaped from Tabuu’s clutches, effectually putting a sudden end to the conflict for the time being…
Oh. Oh dear oh deary dear… there are millions of these words.

I was shocked at first but then i was like “yeah, sounds right” and then i looked up the word count of this collection of stories and…620,000 words across over 2000 pages.
War and Peace only has 587,000.
amazed. I’m amazed. Thanks for showing me this.
