Okay remember the no dumb questions part, but what in the world is ELI5? And what happens if I break the rules? Like if I crack a joke in the serious threads or something?
Essentially. ELI5 is /r/ExplainLikeIm5 a sub I help moderate. It is a sub for people to seek simplified explanations of complex concepts.
Same as if you replied in a thread with a joke answer. All replies to the OP have to be explanations in that sub and the definition of that is pretty narrow.
If someone is insulting or uncivil in that sub they'd get banned.
None of those things are true in most other subs.
Okay, kinda starting to make sense now. I think I just need to poke around a bit to get a feel for it. Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!
In general you can just apologize if you make a mistake. Nobody is really gonna hold it against you too much if you seem to be acting in good-faith.
Keep in mind you should be getting more than one estimate. I've had one shop quote me $700 dollars and another do the work for 100. The first shop was in the business of overcharging people's insurance (a body shop) so their pricing was a lot higher.
It's one of those things like Chinese laundries, and Vietnamese nail salons. It's a good business for recent immigrants because it doesn't require a ton of cash up-front or very strong English language skills. So one guy buys a food truck and employs his family, he does well, buys a second truck and sponsors his cousins to immigrate and work on his trucks, and so on. Once an immigrant community finds a business niche they tend to stick with it through family and community ties.
The vietnamese nails were because an actress wanted to give some refugees a trade and had her stylist teach a group. It just exploded from there. Really fascinating stuff.
Adults are thought to have agency. They can take care of themselves.
Children, Pets, the Elderly, and the Disabled are all limited in that way (and more in the past, women). You'll notice violence or crime directed at any of those groups is very taboo.
And, like every ELI5 post, I still have no idea what that means. Because the question was somewhat vague and you can't go into as much detail as, say, a college course but you still use enough words people don't understand that we're left confused.
Good job @mods! You made a subreddit that's absolutely terrible at what it was created for!
Question: How is it not a choice? I don't mean to offend anyone so I'm very sorry if I do.
Can you remember choosing what to be attracted to?
Was it maybe more of a surprise to you? "I don't understand these feelings" or "girls aren't so gross all of a sudden"?
What? How is that sexualizing children? When I see an adorable kid I'll say, "Oh man, what a cutie, he/she's gonna be a heartbreaker." I'm not sexualizing the kid, I'm just being observant and complimentary as well.
If anything, you're the sick fuck that is sexualizing children for even thinking that way.
Geezuz krist, wtf is wrong with you??? I see girls and guys my age and even older and will compliment them on their outfit, does that mean I'm sexualizing them as well?
So when I was an overweight 9 yr old and my Grapa's friends would say "She's a looker" to us, they were sexualizing me???? /s
So when I was 10 and the guy who kidnapped and raped me for 16 hours and tried to murder me, said I was ugly, well, at least he wasn't sexualizing me... Fuck you!
I was with you for like the first 55% of that comment.
Are they? Dont know that much about those folks. Are they kind of the forest version of hippos?
The big males are close to 7 feet tall at the shoulder. So that's about a foot taller than the tallest horse you've ever seen. Add to that the couple feet of antlers and that is a massive stature.
The reason a person would be more afraid of moose than bears is that there are a lot of moose and not as many bears. A moose isn't more dangerous than a bear per-se, but it is a more realistic threat.
I have read all the rules. Which one do I break?
It's not a guess it's the explanation I was given. After making the comment I read the other ELI5s and saw that my comment's revelant
You admit in your comment that you don't know if what you are saying is true. There is no reason to open your mouth in cases like that. You chose to do that before even reading the thread? Wow.
If you don't understand the intention of the sub I encourage you to lurk for a while.
This might be an unpopular opinion but I can't help but think 25 and 40 years is pretty damn harsh for two young kids. They need to be institutionalised, recieve help and be punished for their crimes but it seems a bit overkill. They're still so young, tremendously sad to be honest.
That's not how it works. They can be (and certainly will be) released early by their doctors. It is basically just enforced treatment.
People always go on about the fries at 5 Guys, but I'm with you. I strongly suspect that the parcooking they claim to do doesn't actually happen at the newer franchises farther from home base.
You know your fries.
Par cooking at lower temp and then frying again at high temp makes for the crispy outside fluffy inside effect.
That’s not quite true, either. There’s a decided slant even to what should be straightly reported news, subtle though it may be.
News today needs to be read via multiple sources, in order to find and eliminate the outliers to the facts.
I guess I can see your point from a 'front page of fox news' point of view. I don't ever view them that way, by navigating to their website and clicking on things from their front page.
If there is a video here, for instance, and I google for background info I find fox news to be generally as factual as the other services.
I think it is dangerous to completely write off one of the biggest news gathering organizations in the country cause 'fake news'. People do that with services that align with my politics all the time. 'hurr durr that article is from CNN it can't possibly be true'.
Do people like /u/coachfortner not realize they are doing that exact same thing?
Does flacco mean skinny or something?
If only there was some repository of all the world's knowledge that had been indexed by some giant technology company that provided some sort of instant search or sorting function that they provided free of charge.
How did you think he was lying, the title alone tells you that he is not.
I didn't know it was the same franchise. Made the movie better when i just thought it was a coincidental name.
Really??? I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but I'm sure I am, it's a horror / suspense movie with the word Cloverfield in it. It starts off with the implication there are monsters outside. Done.
I didn't know for a fact. Some of us find that coming to concrete conclusions based on incomplete information is a mistake. I suspected that those clues meant they were part of the same franchise, but i didn't know.
I didn't downvote you or get offended by you. I understand why you'd be inquisitive since it seems so obvious. I think I just wasn't clear about what exactly i meant by 'didn't know'. You read it as 'had no idea' and a person who had no idea would be a curious case indeed.
So literally the only reason we have internet is because of a massive network of cables connecting the entire world?
What about different countries across oceans? Do they connect via wireless signal? How was it done before WiFi?
There are servers that direct traffic. In /u/Xalteox's answer he calls those 'other people's computers'. That is true. Those are special computers owned by businesses.
When you want to 'go somewhere' on the internet you basically have a note on your chest saying 'i'm going here'. Then when you hit a server it points you on. Then the next server points you on. How many times that happens depends on how far outside your network you are going.
It’s an absurd idea that people still believe any average guy can just stroll in and buy one. You have to go through multiple tests and mental evaluation. Many will say that you just hand over the money and they give you a gun but it is simply untrue. Plus many of the people that own the stores selling them will just refuse to sell to people who do not seem fit to have one, owners of gun shops are some of the nicest I have met.
You know that gun stores aren't the only place that you can buy a gun right?
Idk if I'd call it trolling. I kind of agree with him but I've given up on trying to define what a sport is a long time ago.
He is pretty open about it
Like I personally don't think things with judging elements are fair enough to be considered sports despite the athleticism. Things like gymnastics and figure skating.
Sure, and you could make an argument for that. The difference is that the OP in that thread isn't doing that. They are using a lot of techniques to specifically avoid doing that.
I want a full Spencer episode where he goes back to abandoned characters and quest lines. He explains what happens when there is no longer a counter force working against their machinations.
Do other heroes appear? Is the world crushed under the tyranny of admiral Darkstar? Will more characters decide to just fucking kill themselves out of spite?
Find out next time on things you wish would happen, but never will!
He can use most of what the gang missed in future campaigns. Like leftovers from a meal. He can make a casserole out of a lot of that stuff.
