Even if, I think it’s still a valid comparison as it’s a rate.

I use Yank. I understand some Yanks think Yank only applies to New Englanders. I don’t care, they’re all Yanks.

Say inshallah instead

3% annual raise isn’t a raise. When someone gets a 3% raise after a year they are literally making exactly what they started at if inflation is 3% annually.

Noooo it’s broken!

Harry, it’s an inanimate fucking object.

My first calculus class was in 2018 or 2019 and before they taught us any of the derivative rules they showed us the first principles derivation, so the fact that they just skipped right to the shortcuts for you is wack. For us it was more of “this is how you find the equation for the slope of a line at any point. But guess what, here’s some rules so you don’t have to do this squeeze formula every time!”

That last part.

Is there such a thing as unhinged benevolence? That’s awesome

This is true, all Americans are going to hell /s

My parents are constantly pushing me to own a car.

I have a license because it is a convenient all-in-one piece of ID. I abstain from car ownership because cars fucking suck. They’re expensive to buy, expensive to insure, expensive to maintain, expensive to run, expensive to drive, and you can’t even use your phone* while going places. Car ownership is just overall a bad deal. I’m much happier taking public transit, even if it sucks ass and is twice as slow to get anywhere.

*If you unironically counter this point you should be prevented from ever getting behind a wheel for the rest of your life. Fuck you for putting my and other people’s lives in danger for your own convenience.

Taking a natural language question and providing a foothold on a subject by giving you the vocabulary so that you can research a topic on your own.

“What is it called when xyz.”

Also there is no “point of no return.” Every extra kilogram of CO2 is an extra small increase in temperature. The more we emit, the worse it gets. It’s not on-off.

Love how when someone has issues with Linux but not Windows somehow it’s pebkac. Classic annoying Linux user response.

“If you swallowed or inhaled this battery you’d be exposed to significant amounts of radiation.”

It’s beta radiation, which can be stopped by a layer of tin foil, I think. So yeah if you ate the source itself that would be bad, but if you eat the battery with the casing, probably much less bad?

Ape… together… strong

There’s only a few hundred of them. There’s 8 billion of us.

Why are you posting a 3 year old article

It’s called the use of sarcasm.

“911, there’s a murderer in my house!”

“Oh, no worries, he can’t do that. It’s illegal. Take care.”

No, the game is rigged to prevent views the bourgeoisie doesn’t like from reaching government. You can’t turn the Dems left just as much as you can’t get a left wing Congressperson
