  • Listen here, Zac. The meme is addressed to "Mom", a representative parental figure of - let's assume - Gen X. Now, Gen X was not really into anime, which is the butt of the joke. They weren't a bunch of weebs and probably also refer to group of the Japanese warrior class as 'samurais'. HOWEVER, they called lots of little bricks 'lego'. It was Millennials that started calling them 'legos'.

    So, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy.

  • If you're having an honest conversation here, the appeal to common sense is a fallacy.

    You're coming off pretty self-righteous and judgmental. If you're wanting to change minds I doubt a accusatory stance is helpful.

  • They used a drone to spy on the New Zealand women's team. That violated fair play. The article mentions the coach (?) saying that drone use was not limited to the women's team or soccer. I wonder what else will come out?

    EDIT: I got a couple things wrong. Here's the actual quote: The head of Canada soccer has acknowledged the drone use was not limited to the women's team or to Paris.

  • I believe that "Indian Giving" is sourced in a cultural misunderstanding between Indigenous and European societies. Indigenous societies were reciprocity based, so giving gifts should be reciprocated with a gift of like value to strengthen relationships, or increase honour (social standing). The Europeans were working in a patron-client system so a gift was seen as a way of purchasing access to power through a patron. The Europeans thought the Indigenous people were paying for access to power (like a tributary), so there's no expectation of returning a like gift. The indigenous people thought they were entering into a mutual relationship, and when a like gift wasn't returned that was seen as reneging, so they took back their 'offer'.

    Glad to have an anthropologist kick my ass.

  • I suspect round one is like eating milk, and round two is a fine cheese. Or eating cabbage, and later experiencing it as a well-aged kimchi. I'm sure it's full of probiotics.

  • A longer digestive system is necessary to properly break down plant cellulose. This is why some small herbivores are copraphagic (eat their own shit, like rabbits): it takes two times through to extract adequate nutrients.

  • I think you're telling me you're a woman. I want to point out that seeing a tailor is a non-sexual experience. I'm not sure I've ever been to one, not even a female tailor, who HASN'T made incidental contact with my genitals when checking fit, particularly in-seam. It's a far cry from being "groped". It's a bit like imagining a lingerie specialist worries about touching someone's boobs, or that a doctor gets worried about seeing someone naked.

  • No, they're not worried about joggling your junk. It's because you need something like an extra half inch in the seam on the side you dress on to leave a little extra room in your pants for your dick. Well-tailored pants are asymetrical. Not sure those of you who wear briefs need to worry about it.
