  Great movie.

  The horn and a middle finger are already well entrenched as communication tools.

  The quality is quite poor, but I’m reasonably sure that being able to talk to at people sounds worse.

  Having said that, the idea of CB radio is cool.

  Bone helping juice?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just FYI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t open my trap unless I am positive I know the answer.

  This is is a remarkably valuable skill, and remarkably rare.

  I’ll stay quiet even in that case if it looks like the answer’s close to the surface of the conversation anyway.

  Likewise.

  Gravity Falls is pretty good on that front too.

  It’s Xitter, pronounced as “sh”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of those days⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  OP had an ambiguous notation. One that tends to be taught in schools as the way to present a ‘proper fraction’ (or perhaps compound fraction, i forget, it’s not important) by factoring out the integer component.

  Later on in schooling, one is discouraged from using the notation because of the entirely reasonable way of interpreting it that you’ve used when thinking algebraicly.

  It’s like that Facebook shit that uses the division operator. It’s ambiguous, so there is no way to be authoritative in the interpretation.

  Fight is almost always the last resort as it’s the most energy expensive option.

  One has to be taught to prioritize fight over the others: hence soldiers needing training.

  Then again, I’m reasonably sure there’s some kind of G21N gene present in at least one country’s population that buggers that up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are children always portrayed as the epitome of "innocence", when a lot of kids are evil af and bully their peers, and name-calling runs rampant in schools?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point. I thought I was missing something obvious but couldn’t figure out what it was

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are children always portrayed as the epitome of "innocence", when a lot of kids are evil af and bully their peers, and name-calling runs rampant in schools?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, crying when hungry, talking, trying to crawl and walk… stuff like that.

  Beating the shit out of people for fun is most definitely a learned behavior.

  Yep, 40 x 1/4 is ten.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One of those days⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct, but not what is shown in the OP.

  They start life as a completely blank state, everything is a learned behavior.

  So yes, infants are innocent. As soon as there is learned behavior, that goes out the window.
