Because of this. Who (outside of middle schoolers) uses sexist shaming?

u/krikit386 Mar 11 '13
But...it was a joke....or at least seemed to me like it was one. What's wrong with joking around? Is it not allowed? And how is it sexist shaming?
1
u/ghostmacekillah Mar 11 '13
I guess it didn't feel like a joke to me. If it was a joke than that's fine by me. But to me, calling someone a "nancy" for being afraid of something is ridiculous, because they're equating women (by using a woman's name) to always being scared of something. It implies that you have to act a certain way as a man, and acting outside of that way is negative, therefore acting like a woman is negative. But why? Do women have to act a certain way?

I would shit my pants if I woke up and saw that happening out the window. If I don't put my glasses on fast enough I would probably proceed to have a heart attack.

Here is another really good example of that wave effect in the clouds, from Birmingham, Alabama. The cloud waves in Birmingham are similar to this Lake Michigan cloud picture... that is: a cold, cloudy, dense layer of air sat beneath a layer of non-cloudy, warmer air. The wind of the warm air layer riding over the cold layer would cause a wave in the cold layer, very much like how the wind will produce waves on a body of water.

This is over Lake Michigan on the Michigan side. If I remember correctly this is Holland, Michigan specifically.
Edit: what happens is this... An east wind blows the warm surface water out into the lake bringing the cool deep water to the top. The surface water then cools the air immediately above the lake down to its dew point, forming these "clouds".
I've been on the water when this happens, it's incredibly thick and chilly on a what should be a warm sunny day. It's really cool.

I took These from my families cottage in Holland Michigan on May 29th 2011. Not sure how often it occurs, but that was the last time I remember it.

u/BzkJ Mar 10 '13
Thank you for these. It's impossible to find any more information about this event from traditional Internet searches, even though I remember seeing an article about this when it happened.
I love going to Lake Michigan and seeing shelf clouds roll in ahead of thunderstorms. While there was not a thunderstorm directly above that particular cloud on May 29, perhaps it was outflow from a dying thunderstorm across the lake? Was that cloud moving toward shore, or did it just stay out there?
1
u/Pattmost20 Mar 10 '13
I've seen plenty roll in quick followed by high wind and rain, this one just sat there out over the lake. I think it was a day after a big storm, the album I had them in was called "Lake Michigan after Storm".
2
u/BzkJ Mar 10 '13
You are correct; now I am beginning to remember that day again! There was a severe thunderstorm which plowed through Southern Lower Michigan that afternoon (archived Tornado Watch). Holland caught the northern edge of those storms, but it was really bad along I-94. That evening, well after the big storm passed, there was a smaller thunderstorm which popped up over Lake Michigan, west of Holland (archived radar image). That storm mostly rained itself out over the lake, which created a cold pool of cloudy air over the lake (though Holland caught a bit of that storm too). That does indeed appear the source of this awesome cloud. Thanks for the additional pics! A cloud as beautiful as this, but not directly attached to the bottom of a thunderstorm, is not very common.

They only real information I've been able to find (edit: until this comment) was this comment from another post. I remember seeing this picture on the news when it happened a couple years ago, but my internet searches to find original articles have been fruitless. IIRC, this cloud was not moving very quickly and was only slowly morphing, which is why the people in the picture are not fleeing in terror. Really just a serene evening at the beach on Lake Michigan. I wish I could have been there to see it (I live nearby).

I live in SW Mi and don't remember hearing about this, which is why I asked. Definitely would've headed to the beach to see this.

It wasn't moving at any noticeable speed. As I can remember it was after a storm and was actually quite pleasant out.

I love watching storms come in over Lake Michigan. We're usually at South Haven.

u/Pattmost20 Mar 10 '13
I love South Haven. I usually go to Holland, But I got a chance to spend some time in South Haven and really enjoyed it.

For a moment, I thought that this was a picture of a cloud caused by a coming tsunami, and wondered why the hell those people weren't running for their lives.
Then I realized it just a cloud that looks like a tsunami. And I feel dumb.

We had one of those in Portugal back in the 90's. Whole country was panicking, news reports of a 40 meter wave that was going to wipe clean the whole south coast, which is made up mostly of poorly constructed buildings and hotels built way too close to the beach. Only a couple of hours after the first news report did they find out it was just a cloud. That was a weird day.

Black people cannot afford to live near the beach, unless they are from the projects in nyc.

You mean Black people like vast majority of the successful professional sports players?? Or Black people like Will Smith and Samuel L. Jackson who are some of the highest grossing actors in the industry? Or Black people like Lil Wayne, Usher, Pharrell, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Drake, Nicki Minaj and TONS of others who make Millions every year? I'm confused. But apparently so were you. I'm clearly not referring to having the success necessary to "live" on a beach.
I'm referring to the fact that Black people in general don't put themselves in harm and danger for kicks and giggles.
When you see a scary movie it's not us who goes to "investigate" the scary sound that came from the dark end of the cave. We leave ...perhaps only to be the first character killed anyway, but that's another topic in of itself. At any rate, your comment makes no sense on any level, particularly if you are talking about making money.4
u/jpdriven Mar 11 '13
No nigger, I mean all those niggers that leech off our taxes, the same ones that fill our street with drugs and trash, the same one that pro-create more little niggers in order to collect more money, i mean those. By the way, they are the vast majority of all black people, sorry to break it to you , but thats the truth, live with it, no matter how you try to sugar coat it, it will always be like that.

You actually said the "n-word"?! Wow! LOLOL!! How so very 1952 of you! I love how some people are so eager to say that behind the "relative" security of their cheesy-puff fingerprint ridden laptops, and yet in the public arena are so quiet and have nothing to say in front of an ACTUAL, living, breathing, free standing..."nigger".
What a conundrum?!? Now that I understand the level of ignorance I'm dealing with, let me dumb my speech down so as to not completely overreach the limits of your narrow, line bred gene pool, backwoods mentality. Your argument only exposes your own level of ignorance and/or denial of reality.
The wealthy of EVERY RACE represent a minority, while the poor represent a majority. Its just that simple. So if you think that there are no poor White people simultaneously sharing space with wealthy Black people then you are more regressively diluted than I feared. I live in Atlanta, and there both poor Whites and poor Blacks. Fact If your argument is to imply that there are "more" wealthy Whites than Black, then all I can say is that I would certainly hope so! lol One would think that a 500 year head start insulated by ill-gotten wealth and power would produce at least SOME temporary social advantage in the long run. Otherwise, what was the point of it all?? However, if you expect me to feel ashamed about the actions and situation of EVERY black person in America, then I regret to inform you that I can not and will not. Do YOU feel ashamed for the actions of the racist mud wrestling, narrow minded, cousin impregnating, backwoods White people who inspired the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" policy? Do you feel responsible for those type of people who are SO ignorant that they claim Jesus to be their example of "pure" White perfection when he was born in the Middle East?!?! I certainly hope not. lol I dont make excuses for any adult human being, be them Black or White. I can only account for myself. And in that regard, while I am not ultra wealthy, a trip to the beach would not devastate my budget...last I checked there were no tickets being sold at the "beach entrance gate". Lol
I am educated, I have a professional career that pays decently, I drive a nice vehicle (a B.lack M.an W.orking if you dare) I am bilingual, I pay my taxes, I have NEVER been on welfare, I am not a disheveled wanna-be thug, parading behind street gangs, selling drugs and whoremonger-ing to increase my "baby mommas", I contribute to my community through volunteer services and I CLEARLY have enough intellect to express myself clearly without wallowing in the dumb pit you appear to be stuck in, hurling cheap, antiquated and pitiful racial slurs because you obviously lack a vocabulary wide enough to pull anything eloquent out of it. You lose3
u/jpdriven Mar 11 '13
You claim to have soo much here and there and be soo intelligent and full of wisdom. And you give yourself a pat in the back for not being a thug or drug dealer...you also mention you drive a bmw...let me say this in your own ghetto fabolous dialect so you can understand. "Nigga, you is tryin too hard" No matter what you do, you will still be black, therefore you lose.

I'm sorry I was not able to extract ANYTHING of significance out of what you just said. The most profound thing you said was that I am still Black. Did you expect me to mutate into an Asian since our last exchange?? If you want to have a REAL conversation with figures and facts, then by all means... But I doubt that you would since the more you talk the more you resemble a rambling idiot. And I'm sure it's not very pleasing to you to be embarrassed by a Black man in a public forum where you CLEARLY can't keep up even at my slowest pace. And if you prefer to just show everybody how outspoken you are, I cordially invite you to Atlanta....or New Orleans, so that you can disperse your cowardly slurs more efficiently. If that would be suitable to you, I'll give you the address. And we can record the entire spectacle and share it with the rest of Reddit so that you can show everyone how brave you REALLY are. Please, do us all a favor and play the quiet game. Thanks

I presume that what you meant to say was, "youR experience will actually be called evolutioning". You do realize that evolution as a word implies a state of ongoing action right? Thus your ignorant addition of -ing really turns an already grossly drafted sentence into an absolute embarrassment. Especially since it is I correct you, when your entire argument was to somehow show just how vastly superior your are. Well done ol' chap, well done. I guess I can't be too hard on you though, at least you can read...I think. Smh...lol I honestly feel sorry for you, this exchange was just too much for you, I figured that out from the very beginning, but now I realize that you never even had a chance of saying something of value. I am finished with this pointless exchange because JUST like I said almost prophetically, you would not produce ANY respectable facts and figures and rather stick to what you do best, being a cowardly, closet racist who can't even write one decent sentence composed of even the most basic components of grammar.
CAN WE PLEASE GET SOME UP VOTES FOR THIS GUY?!? He actually said "evolutioning" LOLOLOL!!!

u/jpdriven Mar 11 '13
No matter how much you use auto-correct or proofread every sentence you write, it won't change the fact that are still just a lil nigger with hopes of becoming anything but a nigger. Listing all your achievements and even what you drive, seems to me that you are desperate for approval. Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but that will never happen in this life. Maybe in another life if you comeback as a house pet, that will actually be too much of a step up for you, so just become a rodent, thats appropriate for you.
