Yes I guess harakiri is the act of disemboweling yourself and seppuku is the ceremony surrounding it.

Not quite but I can see why people think so. Both words stem from the same Kanji pair: 腹切. Abdomen cut.
But one is read natively (harakiri) with an informal and colloquial feel to it and the other uses borrowed Chinese readings (seppuku) that makes it sound more formal/ritualistic to be used in formal settings. But they mean the same thing and both refer to the ritual.
A similar example is Japan’s own name: 日本. It’s usually read as “nihon” but has a special, formal reading of “nippon”.

it’s harikiri
eh, only if it comes from the harikiri region of france tho.
Harakiri and Seppuku both literally mean abdomen/stomach cutting. Those who know some Japanese may recognize hara from the common phrase hara hetta which means you are hungry (literally, your stomach is decreasing in size or diminishing). Kiri means cut.
腹: hara 切: kiri
Seppuku simply reverses those kanji: 切腹
Why are they pronounced differently? Harakiri is a native Japanese word, using more traditional Japanese pronunciation Seppuku is a borrowing of middle Chinese roots: setsu from Middle Chinese tset meaning to cut, and fuku from Middle Chinese pjuwk, related to modern Mandarin fūk, referring to your abdomen.
So, setsufuku was shortened to seppuku where the Ps represent a stop and skipping of part of the word.

Skip .world, it’s too centralized and Reddit-y
Open and moderate one somewhere else and I would.
You’re right. There are zero other instances already. Neat how you posted through magic ether.
Don’t take it this way. To my knowledge there is no other community name !confidently_incorrect outside the one from .world and I don’t want to moderate one community just so I can crosspost once every 4 months. If you or any other lemmings is willing to do the moderation part, I’m fine with crossposting there.
But has she considered that she’s just a woman? /s
She’s obviously too pretty to be smart /s
She’s dressed too sexily/not sexily enough to be a science educator. /s
Should’ve just said, Google my name or something.
why? then he wouldn’t’ve been humbled in such a satisfying, heart-warming way. clearly, he hasn’t experience that nearly enough. not to mention the sheer audacity and what is very likely to be misogyny.
It’s definitely misogyny. The incredulous attitude at the competence of a woman in a male-dominated field is textbook.
You see ladies, mansplaining is a portmanteau of the words man, and explaining. Meaning a man explaining something… Actually let me back up. A portmanteau is a blending of two words in both sound and meaning.
So mansplaining… /S

Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can’t you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?
Bro, you can buy the presidency of the United States if you have enough money. So yeah, not what she did, but it is completely posible.
isn’t a Forbes list the kind of list that buying your way into it proves you belong there?
I think so. My sister has been contacted by Forbes that she can pay for a spot on the list. There was a cheaper option for just the nomination.
This verbal smack down could have been avoided had he read probably anything about her from online and didn’t only know her because she dated a Foosball player.
“What have you done that’s so great other than be an arm chair Monday morning quarterback?”, asked the arm chair Monday morning quarterback
Arm chair Monday morning quarterback is giving him way too much. Arm chair Monday morning waterboy is more like it.
Not to give credit to Twitter verified assholes, but comms specialist is not a specific astronomy or aerospace field.
And I harbor some pretty strong opinions about NASA’s public and internal administration for the past 30 years.
Two preventable shuttle disasters and a hacksaw outsourced attempt to return to the moon are not what I would consider quality projects. Modern NASA is the epitome of wasted talent.
Ah just some blue check degenerates having a slap fight in the Nazi bar. Yawn.
Space Force, huh So is anyone gonna tell her 😂
Her yt channel is amazing!
oh shit i didnt know that, I love her content just thought she only worked at NASA in the dmv area. Used to run into her videos on insta - she REALLY loves space.
When those two astronauts were stuck in space(also fuck boeing), she provided some insides about their procedures and plans of return.
Whoa, whoa. How dare this uppity woman talk like that to Dr. Bradley D. D. Wentworth, PhD., an internationally renowned expert on footballogy and beeristics? His accolades include frequent beating of his wife, a penchant for racial slurs, and living in a trailer down by the river.
Beeristics sounds like an awesome field, too bad Brad is in it.
I was thinking some kind of beer calisthenics but then realised that the Brad bod wouldn’t support that
Wait a minute … "Forbes 30 under 30 " ?? hmmm
Can’t be long before she’s arrested for fraud.
At least Brad has nice moobs going for him.
Man… I don’t envy the person who has to clean up that man-shaped puddle after he just up and melted.
“man”
yes? a common exclamation of frustration. your point?
I think they were referring to “man shaped puddle”, when the picture is more of a puddle shaped puddle.
🤣
Don’t take this the wrong way but from the list of achievements she sounds very much a Politician/PR-person/Lobbyist specialized in the area of Space Exploration, not an Engineer or a Scientist.
Still beats Beer-belly Brad by a long distance (probably not hard), but is such a person really worth celebrating in Science Memes?
Here’s the thing, we scientists need our cheerleaders. We spend our time getting good at doing science, so it’s worth it to hire someone who is good at hyping and advocating for our work. Go listen to the recordings of James Webb trying to explain to JFK that we need to do a shit-ton of science before we can get to the moon. JFK just plain doesn’t understand the magnitude of what he’s asking for. He thinks we could do it in 6 months. This lady is our champion.

Just because she isn’t a straight engineer or scientist, doesn’t make her expertise less worth it I don’t think. And I would think that would make a very narrow acceptable requirements for this place.
It makes her an expert in advocacy and politics, not science or engineering.
Obviously advocacy expertise is no less worth than engineering expertise or science expertise, just like arts expertise is no less worth than any of that and ditto for plenty of other kinds of expertise in complex areas.
However, the “salesmanship” kinds of expertise are already the some of most widely celebrated and rewarded by present day society, hence my point.
So you’re saying that science _memes should only accept memes from active practicing scientists and engineers with degrees in their own specified fields?
You might want to re-read my posts a couple of time and think about it a bit harder, if the conclusion you derived from what I wrote is that I want to gatekeep the posters.
No need to be rude. Here, since I’m so simple minded and dumb I’ll try to convey as best as I can to one such as yourself. You’re saying she’s an expert in advocacy (how does one become an expert in that?) and politics… or maybe showmanship?, it doesn’t make her an expert in space programs. We should celebrate those people less, and feature actual scientists and engineers more. What I’m saying is that would be a narrow band if we just include people who’s job titles are scientists and engineers, because we are assuming other people in similar expertise fields would not know the original tweets context. If that is off base, my deepest apologies.
Certainly more than “arm chair Monday morning quarter backing”
As long as these types pay attention to what the scientists tell them and explain it to others accurately, they’re helpful
Those Forbes lists like 30 under 30 are a joke though. Not sure why she’s bragging about that.
ngl 30 under 30 would feel way more impressive to me if i was on the list too
Yeah really. I read that as “got featured in the magazine known for doing cover shoots of frauds.” Weird flex.
if I were on there I would probably brag about it to some dumbass online too
Coming from someone who’s never been on the 30 under 30
Between the post and some of the comments, I’m pretty sure we’re on the worst time.
At least, the worst surviving timeline. I’m sure plenty of “worse” timelines have existed that killed off the entirety of the planet.
This is just the worst of what’s left.
The one where we all die is the good timeline, we are going for the torture nexus timeline.
Fair point.
Nice Tits, Brad.
I think the D.D. stands for Double Ds.

Come on man, I’m going to start exercising again any day now, I swear!
Eh both responses were cringe. She should have ignored him tbh
This is why I’m not on twitter, she shouldn’t have to defend herself and explain herself to that degree. People can be so toxic that on a game like marvel rivals I was absolutely dog shit at because my chat and voice chat were always visible, once I muted everything, I am suddenly reaching Gold II in a couple days. Be where you are wanted instead of jumping into the snake pit where you know exactly the opinions and beliefs of those snakes, there’s nothing to gain, fascists are fascists, what more can they build on than opinion and beliefs?
Has that guy got moobs? I hate to body shame, but that would be so on brand.
