- Comment on What is the most common stupid question you hear/see? 23 minutes ago:
it is regarded as a place people “fail into,” a job we apply for when we fail to secure training or work in the civilian world.
That was also the case in America pre 9/11, its also when thanking people for their service become very common. Bumper sticker magnets with the phrase were a huge fad.

Fag in Norwegians has norse origins while faggot developed independently and only recently become a slur and come out of American vernacular.
In older English it was used to mean a burdensome person and it’s sort of resumed that meaning as it’s now often used to mean someone who is annoying.
Adding a fun double entendre when used to describe a homophobic person.

It’s easier than that. Dairy cows can get fatty livers during calving if improperly fed.

Of course. The predictions were that they’d remain high until 2030, not that they’d go down after that.

No, you prefer to be “realist.” Others have the will to fight. Any attempt to get others to conform to your lack of fight for workers rights is class sabotage.
Don’t be one of those wage slaves telling others not to fight for freedom because it’s illegal and the beatings aren’t that bad anyway.

If you’re not willing to sacrifice others for money, they definitely love money more than you.

Dear UK: please stop trying to mimic all the various contortions of America as it dies. It’s gauche.

Container laws vary wildly, but I would guess the animals could be considered disorderly conduct.

They side with the right because they think that will gain them acceptance. It’s just more subtle form of fucking around and finding out. I have no sympathy for any of right wing voters who face the wrath of this administration. Given the times, it’s not unreasonable to reserve it for those who are true victims having never empowered right wing agendas.

Why are you blaming them for infection when you said you started using it after you popped it and it had gotten infected.
Using it on an infected cold sores doesn’t sound like a very good idea to me.

- Comment on Astronomers seek global ban on space advertising 3 months ago:
I don’t think it goes far enough. Satellites should not be allowed to arrange or emit for any aesthetics reason, advertising or not. They should be required to do everything they can to go unseen.

Someone needs to fish the rock out, hand it back to him and drop him in the arctic. Let him argue with a polar bear on how is wealth protects him.
Alternatively, mob justice.
- Comment on SBA #119 maths 3 months ago:
But hard to write this with the limitations of text but essentially it can be written as multiplication of fractions.
2 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 ÷ 2
2 x ½ x ½ x ½
Personally, I think the second form is easier to visualize and reason about, it can also can be simplified to use an exponent.
- Comment on SBA #119 maths 3 months ago:
No mathematician would write an ambiguous equation like that.
People who argued over these are displaying an incorrect memory of a math education that is simply not a good look.
Division and multiplication have the same precedence, equations are evaluated left to right, so equation is divide then multiple. Division and subtraction are syntactic sugar for multiplication and addition.
These are fun little experiments showing how social media makes people more stupider and how proud the ignorant behave amongst themselves.

If some has those types of concerns, they are better protected going directly up the chain with them. Anonymous feedback means management can more easily get away with retaliation by claiming ignorance.

You got really emotional there and revealed way more than anything I had in my head.
I’ve been on the other side of the meme at times but I’ve never made a game out of subordinate feedback.

Definitely easier than taking action, right?
You’re on the wrong side of the meme.
