Those three guys got high and fucked before class.
Theyβre gonna get high and fuck after class.
They pay each other the discount rate of $15. Not because they have to. Out of respect. and because gas ainβt cheap

Gas, grass and ass, for only $15?! You can't beat that sort of arrangement, in this day and economy.

If not to pay next vertex of a triangle, then why would anyone desire $20 this much? Some may judge, but GDP is increasing as we speak, one Andrew at a time.
Jankatarch 4 points a month ago
People say "I am not gay but $20 is $20," but why do they want $20 so bad? What's something that everyone wants that also costs $20?
Answer is of course, like the answer to most problems, gay sex!
Alex gives Bob $20 for gay sex.
Bob gives Cyrus $20 for gay sex.
Cyrus gives Alex $20 for say gex.
International GDP goes up by $60.
It's gayonomics 101!
(Andrew is name of the character on $20 bills)

What's the argument for having it before the number?
I actually kind of like it written that way because it follows the standard for other units. It should be quantity and then unit. 50 m. 0Β°C. 50%. 2:00 PM.
You yourself recognize that that's the way we say it, and even write it out long form. 50 dollars.
Sure, historically, $50 has been the correct way to write it, but language changes. Why not make a change that makes English more consistent?
Robert7301201 4 points a month ago
I will cocede PM is not a unit, but % is at least an honoray unit of measurement based on how it's used [1].
Time is weird. A duration has a unit associated with it, seconds, minutes, hours, but an absolute time doesn't. That is unless we're using an epoch. I could say today started at 1788652800 seconds if we're using unix epoch.
I guess that's because time is a coordinate system. 2 PM is designating a specific point in that coordinate system. There's no origin (unless epoch specified), so we can't have an absolute measurement, so we don't have units associated with it. PM just feels similar to a unit because it is part of a coordinate system.

Some places like it both ways. In Japan if you write Β₯100 it goes before, but if you use the other local symbol it goes after, as in 100ε.
daychilde 0 points a month ago
Because as soon as you see $50, you know it's money. With 50$ you have to read the fifty and then figure out what it is 50 of.
You can disagree with that, as your comment already does, I'm just answering the why.

DirtPuddleMisfortune 3 points a month ago
So it's in50 because otherwise you have to figure out that the 50 is 50 inch?

The above paragraph isn't in standard readable English, but it presents an iron clad case for why you should follow language conventions in most cases. If you can't read it, that's a skill issue.

Religion, organized religion should be considered a mental illness, prove me wrong.
Anything that teaches hate, promotes superiority, or considers anyone less because they choose to believe (or not) in something elseβ¦ all for a deity that canβt seemed to be bothered to actually smite those very people religions claims to truly despiseβ¦
Being gay is ok. Love to my gay peeps.
kolmaskommentoija 9 points a month ago
Believing in some deity is also ok, people can have their thoughts, as long as it does not harm others. A lot of people believing in some form of god, get solace out of it, so if it is, what they need to get by in this shitty world, good for them. Not all delusions are harmful.
What is not ok, is taking part in and enabling evil religious systems, and using those beliefs as an excuse for hatred, discrimination, oppression and even war. The religious folks following the actual teachings of their religions is usually fine, as those tend to be pretty good (help others, love everyone and do not hate, etc.). Also a drastic contrast to the other, fundamentalist sides doing the opposite, cherrypicking what suits them out of the beliefs, and pretending their religion justifies their evil actions.
(And I am an atheist myself, if that matters, for the context.)

I'm seeing more and more people call being gay a mental illness, mostly on facebook, which has become a conservative cesspool

So wait? Do Right Wingers see left wing stuff? Or do they just want everyone to see a Conservative Dystopia?
isleepinahammock 16 points a month ago
On Facebook, the most disgusting hate against trans people is explicitly allowed. If a trans person calls out bigotry, their account gets taken down for hate speech. It's 1984 over there. Conservative billionaires run conservative websites.
daannii 6 points a month ago
A lot is meta AI bots. Pushing hate speech. That's why reporting does nothing. They don't ban their own bots.
https://theamericanrefugee.substack.com/...
This is business as usual with Trump's regime.
https://open.clemson.edu/mfh_reports/7/ Digital Yard Signs: Analysis of an AI Bot Political Influence Campaign on X
It's everywhere. Not just Facebook. But Facebook is probably the worse because a lot is meta owned bots doing a lot of the work.
Of course Twitter X is probably equally bad. I just never have used it so I wouldn't know first hand.
monkeyslikebananas2 6 points a month ago
People will see what will likely get them to engage more often. So if a left wing person rage comments on a right wing post, they will get more of that and vice versa.
If you use the tik toks and the instagrams of the world, just start swiping. Less than one second per item. Donβt stop. You will see the different themes of topics. They will try to hook you with titties, jokes, politics, whatever keeps you there for longer.
Suddenly the world is full of the things you engage with. Engage with anti trans stuff, you will get that. If you hate trans and you rage comment on trans posts the algorithm will get you more of that. So you start to think the world has now gotten more trans. Or more conservative or more whatever.
Never go full algorithm.

try to get most americans to admit that a real mental disorder is actually a 'mental disorder' and not a person being 'a lazy, no-good bum' and you'll become blue in the face trying to argue. or they'll agree with you to avoid confrontation and then go on having the same shit opinions.

Why are people so hateful assholes? Why are people always shamed victims? Why can't we use words for caring. If I say mental disability, I am not making a judgement of worth. I am getting to know someone's limits and if I must accomodate. The only reason I would care about someone's sexuality is if I was interested in pursuing a relationship or kindly turning down advances. I am also interested in genetics and neuroscience, so I would be interested in what is different physiologically. Again, not in judgement but in scientific curiosity.
Now on the science, it does not seem to be a confirmed genetic trait to be gay. My thought is it is the way the brain assembles during development. The recipe for male and female are in all of us. It would be odd if there wasn't a variety of results. There are so many variables in the processes of reproduction and development that mutation occurs regularly, and tons of those are not simply genetic. Most of them are harmless or manageable. The ones that are harmful are where the word disorder is useful for communicating limits. Being gay is harmless, and probably not even mental. There might even be multiple reasons homosexuality develops in a person. For example, seizures can be from genetics, homeostastic embalance or trauma.
It is sad that people are victims and people are hateful. It is horrible that in current times voice is given unashamedly to the selfish assholes on both sides. Historically, people have been made victims. Currently it looks more like people are competing on who is the bigger victim, overshadowing any real talk on the real issues, let alone compromise or find a solution to anything. If this image was from the 90's I'd be impressed and proud. These days my mind makes me wonder if they are making a show for their inner circle or are antagonzing a reaction from their opponents. I hate that question and hope we find a way to rebuild these ruins of a civilation.
