I’d love to read the article but this is as far as I got

Reloading the page got rid of it but still wtf. Forcing me to leave your website and reload the page is idiotic.

Still a good meam

They don’t know I gendered myself

It upsets me how well they cooked the grilled cheese.

And like, I knew you were being earnest! Tone is hard to get across on the Internet. But emotions react before the critical thinking can do it’s work =P

I just saw how far above 50% it was since that’s the mark you have to clear. I’ve always thought of elections and other votes that way. Not sure why. Never thought about it. Sure, using the more accurate 13.2% would have proven the point I was making even better, but I didn’t really think that far ahead. I just wanted to give the context that controversial issues trend more toward 50/50 so passing with a 56.6 vote is nothing to turn your nose at. But to answer your question, I subtracted 50 from 56.6.

Honestly, I got defensive and wouldn’t have written any of this if you hadn’t said “what kind of math are you doing” like it wasn’t t obvious what I did. But I guess it gave myself and others the opportunity to understand why we use the total percent and not how far above 50.

Maybe not overwhelming, but it didn’t just squeak by either. For a historically controversial topic such as this 6.6 percent is substantial.

Memes go through varying stages of popularity. Some burn fast and die off. Some go through a typical cycle. Some are simply useful or relevant and never die off. The point of the sub was to scout new meme formats and guess what kind of lifespan they’d have.

Empathy doesn’t have to mean letting them do whatever they want. It’s the only path to reforming them. I’ve worked with a young kid with no dad in the process of going down this pipeline. You have to challenge them on what they think they’ve learned about being a man, but if you don’t try to understand how they feel they will just shut you out. Ultimately you can’t make someone believe something. So you either give up and label them a lost cause, or you actually try to reach them and convince them person to person.

I feel exposed if it’s swung all the way open though. I just leave it ajar for the kitty.
