No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is the m-word a slur for people with dwarfism? If so, what are more appropriate terms to use other than dwarf?
41·9 days agoYes. That’s literally the most offensive term you can use.
If it’s a fantasy world make up a fantasy term. You can either create a word from scratch or just create a more complex term.
For example, insert god name here-favored. Just because modern society considers it a disability with historical persecution doesn’t mean it has to be the case for your setting, or that it has to follow the same patterns.
Of course, you could also make the term everyone uses for her a slur in their world as well. Depends on what you’re going for.
I’d just avoid real world slurs, personally, at least in a fantasy.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•To Quote Contact. If alien life does not exist then why is there so much space out there?
19·9 days agoBecause God isn’t real and the universe isn’t designed to support life, that’s just an accident of chemistry and opportunity.
That said, it is a bit of statistical certainty imo. What isn’t certain is that it’s intelligent and conscious, that FTL travel is possible, or that it’s within a million light years of us. Hell, the most reasonable (imo) hypothetical numbers of the Drake equation aren’t even that great for there being intelligent life within our species lifetime in the Milky Way, and that’s with assumptions like “all planets capable of supporting life do.”
Nah, they love shooting dogs, they’re basically cops
You don’t understand House, or psychiatry. You know, the thing you need a medical doctorate to do? The thing all MDs have to study even outside of the specialty?
He would absolutely hate himself for missing that risk in your profile and then do some Vicodin to forget. He wouldn’t be shattered or anything but it would absolutely be a piece of the puzzle he missed and he’d hate that.
Edit: hell, Dr Kutner kills himself for that matter and there’s an episode about House treating it like a murder because he refuses to admit he missed the signs

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's stopping you from registering for a socialist/dem-socialist political party?
5·14 days agoBetter to take over the Democrats tbh. If they wanted to keep their party they shouldn’t have gone full Reagan.
And Aristotle spent half of Politics defending slavery while his thought granddad Plato said fire is hot because it’s shaped like a pyramid, which is why it’s the best element for cutting things, which is, qed, what makes it feel hot. Being cut.

6·16 days agoYou guys are so negative. Critical support for our Twitter comrades is necessary in their quest to annoy the absolute shit out of Musk.
Because lying is overpowered.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Crunchyroll the Former Pirate Site Guts Online Store Just As Anime Fans Feared English
20·26 days agoHmmm I’d say it’s more like they got killed and taken over by a parasite, but then because the parasite had an actual business model and engineers for a decade people just said “oh well actually this is an improvement” then that parasite got absorbed by a bigger, more evil parasite and things started going to shit.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•"Japan is not happy with the US government's habit of using images from Japanese videogames in its political rhetoric, which has included racist, war-mongering social media posts"English
51·1 month agoThat’s the Japanese version of inclusion. I’ve seen their deliberate attempts at racism and trust me, you’d know.

English is not a Romance language so of course cludging the Latin alphabet on to it is a compromise! And half of those are the fault of, you guessed it, Frenchies!

Technology@beehaw.org•AI-generated stories rated better quality than human-written ones, study finds
5·1 month agoA study isn’t valid simply because it’s a study, and headlines telling you what to think of their results without at least a vague sense of the numbers are propagandistic by nature.
Rated better quality? By who and how much? Pretty basic details to include.
From what the guardian reports on the details, this study looks like garbage. From the posted stories, the results are definitely garbage, and whether that’s the fault of the researcher or humanity will need a closer inspection.
I’ll tell you right now, coming to such a broad conclusion because some American sophomore students liked three AI stories better than three selected human written stories sounds pretty fucking stupid.


You wouldn’t listen to actual experts and victims over the fact that you really liked that one album. Your opinion means literally nothing.
