fruit on the bottom posted:I think it's more that a lot of people are ignoring that as originally written and performed (by the songwriter and his wife no less, if you want to really establish intent) she absolutely does want to stay and is looking for a pretext to do so, social norms considered. Yeah but nobody is looking up the cultural relevance of a song they hear randomly in the supermarket. It didn't quite sound as bad back then, and there's apparently this context that pretty much everyone misses where she also wants to stay. Nobody says consensual sex didn't exist, that's a weird thing to take from hearing the song 'sounds a bit aggressive' which is the actual intent of the complaint 'the song sounds sorta rapey'. The song can come across pretty gross even if it wasn't written with the intent of being gross, and even if the message is not gross when you fully understand the historical context of the song and the intent of the female partner in the back and forth, it can still, justifiably, make people feel skeeved out when they hear it. Like, you and that other dude who got a rage boner when I called him out are just missing that people have opinions about media sometimes that aren't 100% based in facts. And that's an ok thing.

And that's an ok thing. Come on man, that was hardly a rage boner. I got annoyed because you completely ignored what I was saying in favor of posting a douchey reply to something you thought I said. Yeah, no poo poo old songs are gonna acquire different interpretations as they age and of course it's ok to have opinions about media that aren't based in fact. But the songwriter's intent, which is what I was talking about, has nothing to do with either of those things. And in a thread about stuff you just figured out, where a bunch of people are talking about figuring out that this holiday classic seems to be about a sexual predator, I don't really see what the problem is with saying 'hey, it's actually a playful back and forth between consenting adults according to the people who wrote and sang it'.

I just learned that the weakest enemy in Super Mario World aren't Goombas that were just drawn differently, but are actually something different, called Galoombas.

If you're going to be your normal aspie self, in SMW they're still Goombas according to literature of the time. It wasn't until 3D world they were differentiated.

Maga and "Maga hats" stand for make america great again, trump's catchphrase, rather than a brand racists like. I knew the phrase well, but I thought "maga" was like a lovely brand like "underarmor" that the trump voting demographic liked to wear.

Clickhole is usually better at headlines than articles but those journal entries are great, they read like Brad Neely's Babycakes or M R Cracker posts (he was a particularly funny gimmick account). Something about the odd repeated phrasings, things like "when the muppets are in the world..."

Hedenius posted:Mammoths were actually smaller than Elephants. Not really. Wikipedia posted:Like their modern relatives, mammoths were quite large. The largest known species reached heights in the region of 4 m (13 ft) at the shoulder and weights of up to 8 tonnes(8.8 short tons), while exceptionally large males may have exceeded 12 tonnes (13 short tons). However, most species of mammoth were only about as large as a modern Asian elephant (which are about 2.5 m to 3 m high at the shoulder, and rarely exceeding 5 tonnes).

Jerry Cotton posted:You mean saber-toothed cat, no close relation to tigers. The Smilodon subspecies of the sabre-toothed cats is also known as “sabre-toothed tigers“. The largest ones were about the same size as modern tigers, even if they're not related. They only lived in the Americas, though. Common speech calls other sabre-toothed cats in Europe “tigers“ as well, I'm guessing because a) it sounds cooler and b) most people don't have the foggiest about paleobiology
