  Oh of course🤦‍♂️

  I was wondering when in the world that exchange rate would make sense. That’s definitely correct.

  If anyone’s curious what happened to the translation here, the original Russian is abbreviated — the full phrase would be «мороженое в ассортименте» (ice cream in assortment) — but they abbreviated assortment and Russian doesn’t have articles so they use them when you wouldn’t expect. Also, this is most likely eastern Ukraine because they quote the prices in both hryvnia and roubles.

  Lots of things would happen, but the specifics wouldn’t much matter because there’d be no-one left to tell the tale afterwards.

  I dunno about your district, but we usually have some pretty good candidates through the DSA on our ballot: https://platform.dsausa.org/

  My understanding is that it’s quite the opposite — a racist would be less likely to shout a slur because they don’t feel the social stigma as keenly.

  It’s not a coincidence, as far as I understand. The tics are involuntary, but they are specifically due to intrusive thoughts about what the most inappropriate thing to say right now would be. The blame here mostly lies with institutional racism for making that slur so awful; were it not available, I assume his tic would have focused on another terrible word, say “fuck”.

  My condolences for your loss.

  Capricious is my favorite adjective, rather than trying to ascribe mental disorders to global systems. If you’re asking regarding a specific human, you should talk to a psychiatrist — if it is disruptive to their life, it may be a sign of borderline personality disorder.

  This use of bipolar has very little to do with the experience of most bipolar people. Bipolar rapid cycling is defined as four episodes per year, much closer to the change of the seasons than the change of weather from day to day.
