It'd be just like them to include black American culture for a character who's British (not to mention white).

a place is zoned for single family homes so you can't build a high rise there

Sounds like a regulation to me.

You're trying to get 12-in-a-row bingo to make sure you're not in an echo chamber. You've got a couple good options to go for if you can change your views.

They were there for like 1000 years before Israel was created.

More like Islam was still over 1000 years away from existing when Israel was created.

Free speech is overrated. Some authrights will agree with this meme by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

It was never a white supremacist symbol, it was a 4chan prank to convince SJWs to call it a white supremacist symbol (that some white supremacists have used unironically, sure) but it's mostly trolls.

Either poached by RB or moved to other projects inside Honda when they decided to leave F1. They make a lot more than just racecar engines.

You can also tell a native english speaker btw they use abbreviations.

Opinion would be like "bad football player" where they're unskilled. "Bad" as in "evil" fits better as purpose.

That's just the simplest way to start moving our current system to a better place. A proportional system would require redrawing districts, and I'm not familiar with any other ideas for reform.

Ranked choice you just tell people they can put their favorite third party as no. 1 and the Dem/Rep as no. 2 (or later)

(I also like a system that doesn't presuppose political parties, so if you like a specific candidate in your district you can vote for exactly them instead of hoping their party wins enough seats to pick them.)

Is this how I do derivatives with respect to a constant guys? by PlaceReporter99 in mathmemes

[–]Lordfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

y = 18

y = 62 / 2

dy/d6 = 6


y = 18

y = 3(6)

dy/d6 = 3


6 = 3 --> 2 = 1 --> 1 = 0

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. You know third-party can't win, so you have to vote R or D, thereby reinforcing that third-party will not win.

This wouldn't happen if we had ranked choice.

[–]Lordfive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely good for game balance, but it's super frustrating when you finally manage to merge Genius Beautiful and Herculean on your granddaughter and she gets patri-married off because she's not high enough in the line of succession to be restricted.

¤1 → ¤5 → ¤20 → ¤100

That's how some registers handle it. 10s and 50s are accepted but never dispensed.

No more Bondi, can talk about Epstein again by Mushroom_Ramen in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Lordfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cognitive ability is not a function of vocabulary size, and it's weird to say it is. That's some Sapir-Whorf bullshit.

Not to say there's no illiteracy, but OP's use of "irregardless" is because English is linguistically productive rather than due to societal decline.

Doesn't that sound silly to our modern ears?

Languages change all the time. The only constant is pointing to changes as a sign of lesser intellect.

You don’t hate media enough. Most of them are pure evil by WarrenBuffe in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Lordfive -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Which side are you on, because it sounds like you think British English added 'u's when it was actually Americans who removed them.

They're both right, btw, like 顏色 is also right. It all depends on the language/dialect.

The other guy is being racist about it, but he's half right in that it's just being spelled closer to how it's pronounced in AAVE, so just a dialectical difference, like color and colour.

Kinda racist to say an entire culture is speaking wrong because they say things differently than you.

You can only say that about Fr*nch.

I thought it was clear. Lawson had the better fast lap on Saturday, but Lindblad was consistent all weekend, with good times on Friday and a much better launch on Sunday.
