| yarnfang | It's all pathetically predictable. |
| Stinkek | You just described Tumblr fanart of characters with changed race |
| PegPeregoGaucho | exactly yarny |
| PegPeregoGaucho | racism is a one way thing 😉 |
| Stinkek | If you take a character who isn't white and lighten their skin, people will rage, but if you take a white character and darken them, reactions will vary |
| yarnfang | The terms "reverse racism" and "reverse rape" and "reverse sexism" are some of the most retarded things people have come up with. |
| yarnfang | There's nothing reverse about it. |
| yarnfang | It simply is what it is. |
| Stinkek | Stereotyping men as soulless jerks who take pleasure in others' suffering ||(which I used to do in my teens)|| is definitely sexism, I guess Tumblr would call it "reverse sexism" |
| yarnfang | At some point I wish people realize that were all racist sexist fuck wits and simply learn to move on. But for that those who wave their purity flags about while on their 50m high horse have to fall and open their eyes to the world... But what ever. |
| yarnfang | Not going to happen. |
| yarnfang | Embrace our humanity and push away the lies as I think of it. |
| yarnfang | But people seem to be so dependant on the lies that even pointing out that it might not all be true causes instant lash back as if one was attacking their very life.
I've learnt to shut my mouth. |
| yarnfang | People have no interest in sharing ideas in an attempt to grow as a whole. Only finding ways to "confirm" their predetermined believes. |
| rubinho146 | Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience. Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions.
Time has long been an important subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars. Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems.
Time in physics is operationally defined as "what a clock reads". |
| rubinho146 | Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities in both the International System of Units (SI) and International System of Quantities. The SI base unit of time is the second. Time is used to define other quantities – such as velocity – so defining time in terms of such quantities would result in circularity of definition. An operational definition of time, wherein one says that observing a certain number of repetitions of one or another standard cyclical event (such as the passage of a free-swinging pendulum) constitutes one standard unit such as the second, is highly useful in the conduct of both advanced experiments and everyday affairs of life. |
| rubinho146 | To describe observations of an event, a location (position in space) and time are typically noted.
The operational definition of time does not address what the fundamental nature of it is. It does not address why events can happen forward and backwards in space, whereas events only happen in the forward progress of time. Investigations into the relationship between space and time led physicists to define the spacetime continuum. General Relativity is the primary framework for understanding how spacetime works. Through advances in both theoretical and experimental investigations of space-time, it has been shown that time can be distorted and dilated, particularly at the edges of black holes.
Temporal measurement has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in navigation and astronomy. Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time. Examples include the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, and the beat of a heart. Currently, the international unit of time, the second, is defined by measuring the electronic transition frequency of caesium atoms (see below). Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human life spans. |
