I always felt like his blank stare was a “Oh fuck, oh god, I have no fucking idea what I’m doing, how did I let it get this far, oh fuck, be cool, they don’t know, oh shit, I’m so completely out of my depth, oh fuck me man, they’re going to find out, every second its getting worse but I can’t back out now, oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck…” stare

Well I’ll be god damned…

The Seinfeld TV show did well, but I’m confident Jerry isn’t a billionaire.

I gotta say, you make some fair points.

It’s a lot of memorization that I simply haven’t done and won’t ever have to do.

The fraction reduction doesn’t help intuitive thought. If imperial operated on ‘significant digits’ and marked any set or document with a 64th always as 64ths, as in 16/64ths, I’d be more on board.

We just need to replace out base 10 system of counting with base 12 and we’d get the best of both worlds!

Not only that, but your system, by virtue of being decimal, inherits all the shortcomings of our quite flawed numbering system. You can’t divide something by the second smallest prime number without breaking out repeating decimals.

What’s more 0.203 cm or 0.291 cm? How about 3/8" or 19/64"?

How far is 1/3 of a mile? 1/3 km is 333m. How about 1/9? 1/9 km is 111m How long is 10 x 5/16"? 10 x 3.1cm is 31cm

Yeah, a foot breaks down easy in whole inches with many factors, but that’s about it

We also have some experience with starting helpful fires. 1812 comes to mind.

And 2 hours later… lunch!

More like 30 minutes of whatever you get paid, as all fiscal punishments should be measured

I dont think a “too long grass” fine is unreasonable. I think if you can completely obscure a 5’ tall figure standing upright in your grass alone, maybe a 30 minute fine is reasonable.

… it’s how much? For being how long?

“Oxy” is great because it also doubles with the word association “moron” so we’re subconsciously berated as well.

I had a copy of Giant Robot and Electric Tears back in the day and was thinking maybe there was a third album I was missing…

Single digits for sure. I’ll be okay from -9 to +9, but I don’t really see a solution to a 999°F heatwave

But it’s critically necessary for functionality.

Got a question? Google it an boom there’s an AI summary for you. Now you’re engaged in scrolling past the dubious response and the sponsored links before you can get to the results you want.

It’s called ‘enhancing the user experience’. It was tedious to ignore the paid ads where you were likely to be misled for profit, but now it’s enhanced tedium where you’re likely to be misled for no fucking reason.

Counterpoint: look at those hands. Maybe they just weren’t great at some things.

I’d believe they mastered lighting and painting techniques over accurate physical representation more than “Jesus was a perfect middle aged nippleless man with fucked up hands and that’s represented perfectly here”

I think you should consult a dermatologist.

Fun fact! The kid in the MAGA hat is in a concentration camp.

(I have zero idea who either of these people are, but I think the odds I’m still correct are in my favour)

Free speech in no way makes a conversation intelligent or sane.

Free speech is necessary to prevent the government from censoring dissent.

The consequence is that there’s little to no legal repercussions to spreading lies and hate. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be repercussions.

Ah, the American healthcare system!

That’s just the natural aging process. Plumbing just gets saggy and wrinkly. Ask any man over 50.
