As a casual, I mostly hear about Mario Bros 1 and Mario 64. What game is overall the most prestigious amd celebrated on speedrunning?

People joke a lot about how Marvel civilians hate mutants but are normally fine with Spiderman or Captain America. At first this seems super odd and contradictory, but then I reminded of something that might make it more logical: Helen Keller.

Helen Keler is a very well known writer who was blind and deaf. Super impressive and inspiring person, but like most folks, specially from her era, she also had some controversial beliefs. Basically

"Keller supported eugenics, which had become popular with both new understandings and misapprehensions of principles of biological inheritance. In 1915, she wrote in favor of refusing life-saving medical procedures to infants with severe mental impairments or physical deformities, saying that their lives were not worthwhile and they would likely become criminals."

Which sounds super crazy, how someone who is deafblind, arguably, one of the biggesr health problems one can have, and who thrived in spite of it, be pro eugenics? Not only that, she was alao popular and appreciated by fellow eugenists. Well, here lies the difference between spiderman and a marvel mutant.

Helen Keller was not born deafblind, she became due to a sickness she got when she was a baby. Peter Parker as not born Spiderman, he became spiderman due to a bite from a radioactive spider when he was a teen.

Mutants and people with genetic diseases on the other hand, were born like that. Everyone can become sick, or be bitten by a radioactive spider. As unlikely as it might be, people will still tend to hold more sympathy towards those who experienced something that could technically happen to them. And that can partially explain, with a real life comparison, why mutants and spiderman are so different, despite being so similar.

A while ago I barely knew biphobia was a thing on its own, I always thought it was just part of LGBTphobia in general. However, recently Ive beem finding out that it seems to be a thint, and Ive been umder the impression that it affects men way more than women. Most times someone has problems or issues with bi people, it seems to be about men. Which, even though biphobia might be the hardest to understand prejudice Ive ever come across, somehow makes a bit of sense, as people sometimes just assume all women are naturally bi and lesbians are well appreciated overall. So is this true? Is the bulk of biphobia against men?

Im not a bi person, but Ive always been a bit jealous of them. If youre bi, you basically double (or more than double) the dating pool available to you, you can have so much more diversity in sex and datings. At the same time, if you life in a repressive place, you can have a much easier time passing. It legit sounds incredible. Now, obviously bigots exist, but I always thought bigots were basically against gay folks in genea and bi were just a subset of it for them.

However, there appears to be people who are legit fine with gays, lesbians, but have prejudice against bi people. Now, prejudices are stupid normally, but that might legit be the most stupid one Ive ever heard about it. I genuinely cannot understand what the fuck is the thought process there. So the only hypothesis I could come up with is that these people are jealous.

I know a lot of people say similar stuff, but bi people actually have a reasonable reason for someone to be jealous of. No one has a reasonable reason to be jealous of someone for being trans, black or gay. But being bi, actually sounds like an objective benefit in one's life, with lots of advantages.

Super common reddit occurrence. Sometimes theres some disagreement and some moron pull the "Im part of X group so you should listen to me" bullshit, but sometimes I mention how people from X group that I know in real life would still dissgree with them, either crickets or "they dont represent X group". Yeah sure, because some reddit user, who I cant even know if its real or not, spouting nonsense believes is what I should blindly trust as authority on group X instead

Temperature is just an abstracion and thermic energy doesn't exist, it's just kinetic energy of a bunch of particles

Biden's goal was to stop a second Trump presidency and keep some institutionality in the US. Failed

Obama's had very ambitious progressive goals, but despite the ACA, he didnt achieve a lot of them, such as closing Guantanamo for example. He failed

Trump's goal was basically to use the presidency to enrich himself and do an ego boost. He was very successful at that.

I never notice clothes that much, so I only noticed how weirdly she dresses in her Abraham Lincoln one (although honestly, fkr me it was more kf a mad hatter Willie Wonka crossover). And I feel like after that, they started increasing her eccentricity

That moron is basically a lobbyist for oil, coal, and Russia. He was one of the main responsible for the retarded decision to shut down of nuclear power plants, making Germany way more dependent on Russia for energy. Merkel gets blamed for it, but the decisions were approved on Schröder government, she just executed.

On top of it, he's responsible for the Agenda 2010, that increased wealth inequality in Germany. Some economists even attributed it as one of the causes of the European debt crisis.

Like, if he just bragged it would be one thing. But he actually puts himself out there, after getting his ass kicked multiple times hes still always adventuring and exploring. Kind of impressive if you ask me

I super get it, it makes more peolle vote in them. Thats the point. But sometimes I find them sk annoying, when I dont know what to choose but still want to know the result. At the same time, I dont like when theres an option "vote here to see results". It makes the results look ugly amd I have to use some mental power to estimate the percentages.

You either go full silly manipulation or not

For real, if this was a hivemind, wouldn't people agree more with each other?

We all know that celebrities often exaggerate how difficult it was for them to achieve success. They often also lie about their economic background. However, these lies are easy to be exposed with minimum research.

On the other hand, if a celebrity says they were bullied, it's much harder to verify. I think a lot of celebrities lie about it. Normally, rich, good looking people don't get bullied, and the amount of celebrities that fall in this category but say they were bullied, (for example, Blake Lively, Kylie Jenner, Anya Taylor Joy).

Now, there are cases and cases. Henry Cavill used to be fat, Pryanka Chopra and Chris Rock suffered racism, these cases are easier to believe. But I really think that some lie about it.

People always talk about how he's a jerk, a racist and a terrible co-worker who gets angry at people.

Here's the thing, he's not a Nazi. He just happens to be a little eccentric. Most geniuses are. He suffers for Kramer. He demands perfection from himself, from your Kramer. How can he tolerate any less from my co-workers and spectators?

As someone who watched a lot of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, and Woody Allen movies, Im super familiar with the neurotic Ashkenazi Jew archetype. The hypocondriac, socially inept guy, who has a loud and overbearing mother with a nasal voice, normally more on the progressive/liberal side, werid uncle and aunts, cheap, but not even because of the money per se, but out of principle, says the ods oy vey or random yiddish term, is not very religious, but still influenced by it and so on.

however, Ive just got the impression that this archetype might be more of a US, even New York thing, than a general thing. So is this archetype also commom in Europe?

Now, to make it explicit before someone misunderstsnds, Im not asking if every Ashkenazi Jew in Europe is like that, or even if most are like that. Im asking if the archetype is as prevalent in Europe

I was recently getting a friend of mine to watch Seinfeld, and I think she's fine with it (which I consider good for now), but watching it with her I was wondering if Seinfeld is more appealing to guys, specially the earlier seasons than to girls. A lot of the plots are on our point of view, and super relatable to us. Although I must say, I think Elaine does a great job in the later seasons.

No secret people online are often functionally illiterate. I remember I once asked a question like "why dont people x get annoyed by y?" And some moron responded with "they dont get annoyed, so the premise of your question is false. Now, clearly, I acknowledged that people do NOT get annoyed, my question was only why. But the guy kept arguing on what I meant to ask. Now, I dont mind people disagreeing, and there are a lot of people who know more than me about all topics. However, if theres one topic I know more than anyone else, is what I wanted to say.
