• You don’t know what “weaboo” means

the moon's body, which the monks claimed "was lower" than the moon's horns, should have been above the horns.

Moon is no egg, Khaleesi.

Weird. I did exactly that a second ago without seeing your comment. It's in "pending" comments, though. Here's a copy paste:

That's not really the same mistake. That's getting confused by semantics, which Feynman explicitly points out that he never had trouble with, because he learned from his father to consider the meaning of words rather than the words themselves.

tl;dw: there was no "mathematical concept" he had trouble with.

Yes. For several obvious reasons.

I agree with the guy who said it could lead to some interesting drama. The issue over whether he really is Aegon is a cool one. And I'm eager to see Dany finally forced to confront her massive sense of entitlement.

I always thought the "there's obviously no Aegon in the show" crowd were being precipitate. Like... people were citing the trailer as "proof". Which makes no sense. Presuming he doesn't die pointlessly in future books, he's one of the biggest shake-ups in the series (and certainly in the relatively dull Feast and Dance…

Clearly.

I don't disagree. "Not all wizards" was my only point. It's rather like racists in real contemporary society. Plenty of them, and a large number of "casual" racists, but the cultural orthodoxy is anti-racism.

I don't disagree, but the analogy isn't apt because both of those words refer to black people; my point was just that the words literally refer to different sets of people.

"Mudblood" means your parents are muggles, but you yourself aren't. "Muggle" simply means non-magical person. By definition a mudblood has magical powers, even in prejudiced language — nobody ever calls Hermione a "muggle".

And again...

Yes, I understand that the two terms refer to different things, thank you. But it would be disingenuous to pretend they aren't related.

You're being disingenuous if you're using the Blacks as an example of typical wizarding attitudes...

Yes it does. Muggles are not mudbloods and mudbloods are not muggles.

Ah, I see.

There's a subject at Hogwarts called "arithmancy". It's presumably like mathematics but magical and therefore better.

If you actually read the first couple of chapters of the first book you'll answer most of those questions.
