Rick & M 1x9

Sorry, but this is not accurateaccurate. Pluto is tiny and pathetic enough that it would never have been called a planet in the first place if those who discovered it had a good view of it. We have known for almost a full century that it does not belong in the same category as the actual planets. The dwarf planet category was created to encompass not just Pluto but also Ceres, Gonggong, Orcus and a dozen others we have confirmed, along with another 50 estimated dwarf planets that have yet to be discovered out in the Oort cloud. The "Degrass Tysons" of the world do not hate Pluto and had nothing to do with the decision to begin with. I am utterly mystified why you think anyone would have a "hate boner" for a rock... Mercury has indeed cleared its orbit and fully meets the definition of a planet. To correct your metaphor it's more like a long time ago somebody got a brief blurry look at a Lynx and decided it was a dog. It was obvious upon second glance that it was never a dog, but somehow the idea that it was one ended up in textbooks anyway, and it took a while for the mistake to get fixed because the definition of a dog was old and too vague. and now people are getting angry that the problem was finally addressed . Seriously the outrage is nonsensical.

Pluto not being a planet has to do with a specific criterion created just for the purpose of removing Pluto from planet status because some astronomer fucked up a simple quiz online. For centuries a planet needed to simply orbit the sun and be a sphere. But in 2006, when they removed Pluto, they added that a planet clears items in its orbit. This new criterion would mean that Mercury is no longer a planet, but the Degrass Tysons of the world have a major hate boner for Pluto. It would be like adding in some random bullshit criterion for what is considered a dog that deliberately aims to remove entire breed groups from the position of "dog", like dogs are only dogs if they are a meter tall when on all 4 legs.

Weirdly enough, Mercury is still labeled as a planet even though it's orbit was cleared by a larger celestial body.

Kap

I mean, Pluto is now the namesake for an entire class of celestial bodies, "Plutoids". Isn't that even better?

And the F slur means "bundle of sticks". Language is ever evolving and that includes the language used to bully or hurt others

Secco Mode (Periwinkle)

It's not a slur. It's a medical term. It also means "to slow down".

Anzac-A1

You saying that pluto is its own thing and shouldnt be labled is hilarious, becouse the fact pluto is on nearly the same orbit as many, many similar objects is exactly why it isn't a planet

Igor Chmurski

you can say it if you want but it's pretty fucking gross, and I don't want to associate with people who do.

Harper

Sure, but, in that same vein, it feels very arbitrary. It's hard to really feel for people on this when it really is just a word among many, akin to calling someone "moron," "stupid," "lame," or "daft," all words with their own histories and contexts. Sure, language changes and all, but people's sensibilities can hardly be considered a justification when they change so easily and often with little reason.

I love all the Stephen King references in this episode.

PLUTO IS WHATEVER PLUTO WANTS TO BE

Aspy 130

That seems more in line with what I originally thought. I'll have to do more reading.

Chanfyr

As far as i know, the thing that did it was that it didnt dominate its orbit. A planet has to either clear its orbit or all the things left in the orbit have to orbit it. Basically, only it and its moons can share that orbit, which is why it is not a planet.

Miklar Sihn

Okay thank you

Chanfyr

I believe they reclassified it because it A. is smaller than most moons and asteroids and B. has yet to clear it's orbit, because it's out in the Kuiper belt.

Harper

do you really think people choose to be upset over it? that says a lot about you. people can't control what words are hurtful. if you choose to continue to use hurtful words, it's a sign of who you are and how little you care about the people around you. it takes nothing to not use a word.

Harper

I thought they reclassified Pluto because of it's orbit and found out that it was a moon of Uranus that just drifted off. Eh, I could be wrong.

Chanfyr

Seems like a weird thing to choose to get upset over. Especially when people live all over and speak different variations of the same language; just because people that share a language with me on the other side of the world decided a word is offensive won't remove it from my internal and external language.

Just Graham

Thanks for the binge

TrinitytheApostle

they have to have black plp picking the song on here. cuz hood classic come up alot

macattack

No hold on if you legit watch the fast and furious movies I'd be super down to see those reactions

Secco Mode

So regarding the r slur I don't use it. I don't think everyone who uses it is a bad person, but I've personally experienced in my small hometown that word being used to bully mentally challenged kids, so using it feels gross

Secco Mode

because those words for the most part have lost their association with those groups of people, but the r word is a lot more recent. people were using it in the 2000's every other word. it has history to it

Harper

dont worry no one likes jerry he really dont have anything redemable about him

AyatoMisubi

Okay, but why can we still say "Idiot", "Imbecile", "Moron" or other terms with the exact same origins, and have them merely considered slightly rude instead of a vicious hatecrime? It sometimes seems kind of arbitrary where lines are drawn.

Cryptic

The butter robot having an existential crisis is a memorable scene. Alicia is embracing her inner Rick in hating Jerry! XD

leviathan_13

Haha I fogot the aftercredit punching xD so funny

MoD+

This Series is so creativ and multifacenet :) I enjoy it all time

MoD+

when people use words to be hurtful those words become hurtful, imagine that

Harper

do people really get upset because of rick saying a word? this mf kills a lot of, most of the time, innocent people, the show wants you to understand that he's an egocentric and selfish piece of shit. helluva boss was smart about it making blitz say "you reeeee-ally can't say that anymore" dodging the issue of him actually saying it but making the viewer understand he wanted to because he's NOT a good person, in the pilot he said it but that was some years ago
