Something interesting you learned recently

Hmm only in the sense that we learn something either way.
I strongly disagree where it comes to processing information and then applying it (in both theoretically and practical ways). Discernment matters a lot. Information can obviously be utterly false in plenty of cases, or only contextually true, or a subjective truth, etc.

 

More along the lines of what we read about in books and on the net. Or what was taught to us in schools. Particularly when it comes to science, history, and the news.

 

It doesn't matter if the science and history taught in school, or the news is true? I don't see how that is right. It evidently matters a lot!

About news on the internet i maybe get what you're saying. Although maybe not, because although its free speech in optima forma, without discernment one is fucked with their views on reality if they base it on random 'news' sources (as we can see regularly these days).
News on tv and in newspapers (and also stuff taught in school) also needs discernment of course, but there it is even more dubious and misleading if it isn't true.

In short: discernment is key and truth matters (obviously i would say)

 

So it matters to you correct? And you can say with 100% percent certainty that what you were taught or have learned in those subjects is absolutely true. This correct?

 

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was based on a Japanese show called Super Sentai that started in the mid-70's.

Now that I learned this, I can definitely see the Japanese influence but this came as a surprise to me.

 

No, it matters in all objectivity. It's better for the students that the stuff they learn is correct, or true as you will. You say it doesn't matter a lot, I say it obviously and evidently does.

I can not, nor was i claiming that. I say that discernment helps a lot to determine it. It matters that the stuff being taught is aimed to be truthful. Factual when its about facts, and pointed out its subjective or hypothetical when that's the case. In most instances during my educations that seemed indeed the general aim

 

I learned upon verification that 'optima forma' is not used in english. Assumed it was one of those latin phrases that's still common in a lot of western vocabularies, but this one seems mostly used in german and dutch (netherlandish)

 

what does it mean, asmo?

 

In optimal form. Ultimate use of. In prime condition.
The thing is that in the case i used it; spreading misinformation and fake news on the internet IS free speech in optimal form... which may be great for free speech on itself, but can obviously have unfortunate effects when its too convincingly (for those who lack discernment anyway) passed on as the truth

 

DNA is made of adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine. Adenine and guanine are known as purines, while cytosine and thymine are pyrimidines.

 

Ah yes, purines and pyrimidines! Of course...!

 

thats the coolest pigeon i've seen. thanks for sharing

 

They steal Nicobars from little kids!

 

The opening theme kicked ass! Go Go Power Rangers!

Too bad the show was so dumb.

 

I enjoyed it for a couple seasons, I liked all the monsters and megazords. Some of the monster characters were pretty imaginative. Like I think Lord Zedd is featured in one of the newer Mortal Kombats, which seems fitting.

 

They were originally a horror show, with Japanese kids racing their motorcycles at 4:00am being their biggest crime problem.

 

Yeah I got married last August. And now for the first time since November, I get to enjoy it again.

 

How can a little boy not love that show? All the karate stuff you can try on your sister. I know I did. And of course the Pink Ranger. I knew I was not gay, yet I also still hated girls at the time. Reruns were on everyday. I had some of the toys. You are attacking my childhood.

Also the black ranger was the black actor and the yellow ranger the Asian. So un-PC and it worked since kids don't see that stuff. I know I did not find it odd. Did not not connect that a black ninja who I saw as a cool ninja should not wear black. No idea Asians were "yellow".

 

Congrats

But what do you mean enjoy it again? Honeymoon?
