1 | you talk sense without relying on internet memes and have not pandered to my need for a flame war, i say we ignore/downvote him! | theshadow | atheism | 7 | 7 | 0 | 2009-01 | 2009-01-25 01:16:53 | That's just silly. Societies aren't isolated entities competing to receive credit for scientific advances. To suggest that it is even possible to "trace the ups and downs of that path solely from the west's perspective" is laughable. The Chinese were way in the vanguard up until the Roman Empire, and many of their "advances" filtered west to Europe. When Rome fell, the Middle East inherited Classical knowledge and advanced it, passing the torch back to Renaissance Europe, which in turn sought out knowledge, wealth and technology from the Far East. As you point out, gunpowder was invented in China. Modern warfare would be impossible without it. Imagine modern science without calculus or, for that matter, the number "zero," which the Romans lacked. Imagine how western culture would have developed without the Moorish/Arabic concept of chivalry. It is, in fact, quite unreasonable to trace the advances of any civilization from just one perspective. Political correctness? How about historical correctness? |

1 | Apparently...from what you're saying...girls are human beings? | danukeru | reddit.com | 5 | 5 | 0 | 2009-07 | 2009-07-07 07:13:38 | Advice from a real-life girl: Treat her like a regular buddy. I work in the video games industry and I am girl. This means that I have front-row seats to watch a bunch of nerds and geeks in their natural habitat, everyday. Why do I bother with this post? Well, I've been on Reddit for a few weeks now and I noticed how strong the myth of "the friend zone" runs with the male gender here. I have no doubt that I will get downvoted to a pulp by speaking about this sensitive subject, but if this can help at least one poor guy, my work will be done. Carrying on. Last week there was another girl who was sitting next to me (I work for a major company so I do not know everyone working there). She was teamed up with your average virgin-nerd: short, fat, wears glasses, has a whiny voice. The girl, as I unintentionally heard, just got dumped by her boyfriend, which means I had to sit next to the poor guy trying to flirt with her for about eight hours straight. The whole thing was pretty painful. The girl would complain about the breakup ("How could he do this to me?", "Am I this disposable?") and of course the boy would fall right into it by showering her with compliments. I felt a lot of sympathy for him because he was being so obvious, and she was playing him like a puppet the whole way through. To be fair to her, though, she was probably in a dark place emotionally and needed a confidence boost, but still, it was evident that the guy was trying to get noticed romantically. He did everything wrong. Agreeing with everything she said regardless (where is *your* personality in all this, bro?), fishing for compliments for himself by overplaying the loser role ("My brother is so much cooler than I am. He has money, and a wife, and I have only video games *pouts* :( ") and just being overall way too obvious. He came off as desperate, needy and clingy (you should have seen him when he got back from the bathroom and there was ANOTHER nerd sitting on his chair, talking to the girl). This whole situation was not the first I witnessed, sadly. But it was so quintessential of what I think is a big social setback for nice, respectful geeks out there, I just had to reach out and tell all of you this. Maybe she's just not that into you. Of course the girl in my example was being very nice and friendly to him. It would have been rude to do otherwise since he was pretty much licking the bottom of her shoes for hours on end. But she was clearly not interested in him that way. And it is not because she is a bitch. Sometimes it does not work out, and that's it. Accept it. If she is nice to you, maybe she does consider you as a friend. She probably hopes that you like talking to her because you think she's smart, intelligent and cool. Do you? Next time, instead of treating her like she is made out of crystal and agreeing with her every statement profusely, try treating her like you would a buddy. No more, no less. I have seen this work very often. Most girl I meet like to be "one of the guys" when it comes to social circles. If she can smell your sexual desperation from a mile around, chances are she will be creeped out. Just chill. |
