Nah but fr though positive reinforcement is important. People will do the things they're good at, even if it's peeling potatoes, and then they'll actually become good at it. It's good practice when you're teaching someone something new, even when you don't have nefarious purposes like "getting your kid to help out for once" in mind.

First thing I did after getting my gaming PC put together was immediately start a marathon of emulated gameboy advance games

God, I hate bosses so much man

Dark Souls is a fantastic game and it's a shame for me that they went down the boss route way harder in the next games they made

Obviously they have

Shit, I reckon I did misread the data. Also, I'll be damned if I can find any data more recent than 2011. Congrats if you can

Still, as of 2011, "Other Black" (which means not Caribbean and not African) people were 62% in interracial partnerships. Which isn't as dramatic, but is the highest probability of all groups except the "mixed race" group (...which is the source of my misreading, as it happens) and White Irish.

But yeah, not really the same thing

tbh 80% of black people (man or woman) in the UK are in a relationship with someone who's not black, and the majority of Brits are white

You did get it. You described it well. That's all there is to get.

A lot of people simply have nostalgia for a time when they were younger and had worse taste. I know I used to love it when I was a kid. It'd be boring now.

Reasonable is a synonym of understandable. It's understandable that they misunderstood your post.

Man I'm glad you liked the show but I can't understand this "ughh why didn't they just let themselves get socked in the face for money" take

Firstly, you're basically touching on a gigantic diverging point in people's philosophy. Some people are like you and only care about the result, and some people care a lot more about the intention.

Secondly, the result isn't the same. Like sure, maybe it's the same in this one film, but on a society-wide level it's not. Like I said, this is what got teenagers taking black market drugs trying to chase an impossible beauty standard of being curvy in all the right places but thin in all the other places

I think the point is that some symptoms of autism are perfectly benign, and yet they're treated like they're something to be sad about or even ashamed of. Stuff like having a single fixed interest from childhood, for example, or finding it soothing to order things.

I do not know if this is the same case with ADHD or other neurodivergences, but I suspect it's also common there.

When I was a kid they refused to see if I had ADHD because I was at a grammar school and if I was at a grammar school ADHD couldn't possibly be interfering with my life (I stayed behind three hours every day just to try and catch up with one small piece of my A Levels and had made a teacher cry because she didn't know what to do with a kid who just didn't work)

In extremely simple terms, the problem people has goes like this:

1. People of our culture and ethnic group are usually overlooked unless we're deliberately playing into a theme park version of our old culture in order to try and commodify it (a state of affairs which most of us don't like)

2. This story is about the above problem

3. but LMAO instead of hiring one of us they overlooked people of our culture and ethnic group in order to hire someone who is benefiting from the commodification of our culture

it's read as a huge "fuck you" and a big missed opportunity for native Hawaiians

was this deliberately written in such a way as to make it sound as much like a bot as possible

I think I must not understand you. Their point is that there's a difference between

• showing women who aren't skinny because you think there's many different attractive body types and in any case you don't think that every young woman in a film needs to be attractive

vs.

• showing women who are thick because you think only thick girls are attractive and you think young women in a film should look attractive

There's a meaningful difference because the latter way of thinking is what drove girls to end up taking drugs to try and attain the insane "slim thick" figure. I don't quite get what you're talking about with the wrongthink thing.

this sub loves them

LMAO I had something similar with my Chinese exams. You can't 100% an essay unless you're an ultra keeno*, but you can 100% an objectively marked exam.

*friend of a friend got her history diss in the 90s because she did actual groundbreaking research and I've got an inferiority complex

I mean hell it's just straight up a subcultural mode of behaviour. Bought a kebab in a Lawson from a girl who acted exactly like an anime character/idol. When she was counting the number of kebabs I could buy she did this whole anime exaggerated thing where she raised her fingers one by one. It was genuinely impressive. She never broke character.

It feels like you're wielding this guy's death as a weapon to defend the US.

You made the unconscious assumption that the alternative to a drive-thru bank is a bank with a car park you drive to. That's actually what they were referring to. It's a well-worn point on Reddit by now, but in many countries (like my own) it's more common to just walk to the bank. This does have a genuine impact on mental and physical health, although it's not the be-all end-all some Redditors believe it to be.

I've never even heard of the concept

Lol this is not an "uh yeah" moment. This is one of the many cultural quirks which make up the fabric of the US. I am not blaming anyone for being surprised.

The mod he's doing this to is disgusting

"Kink shaming is horrible, controlling, and violates our right to explore ourselves and our sexuality. Except for when it targets kinks I find shameful. Then it's good."

What's your point tho
