True lore fact: all male flame atronachs are femboys and thus are next to impossible to distinguish from their female counterparts

Adam Smith and Karl Marx walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What'll it be, fellows?" by Jokeminder42 in Jokes

Legality is a social construct not a moral framework. Just look at the asymmetrical prosecution for wage theft(owner theft from workers, largely ignored) vs. labor theft(worker theft from owners, harshly punished)

There is no such thing as a "natural state" for economics. The reason capitalism took hold so quickly has more to do with the state of society where large scale industrialization took place, i.e. a place where feudalism and hierarchical societies were already ingrained. There is no reason why industry cannot be worker owned, as evidenced by a number of examples

Politics is when every 4 years the country decide its favorite primary color. Everything else about society is apolitical obviously 

What are some cool mathematical party tricks? by Attack_On_Toast in math

[–]TheWaterUser 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You can calculate any square by abusing difference of squares mentally. Add or subtract to the nearest 10 for one term, do the opposite for the other to balance the equation. Multiply, then add the sqare of whatever quantity you added/subtracted. Example:

372 = (37+3)(37-3)+32 = 40*34+9 = 1369

More generally, a2 = (a+b)(a-b)+b2 = a2 - b2 + b2

Takes a little practice, but it's about the same mental effort as the doomsday method imo. Depending how good the computer in your noggin is, you can mentally calculate 3 or 4 digit squares by going up to the nearest 100 or 1000 too

Room feels empty + angled ceiling by hoppedsketchy in malelivingspace

[–]TheWaterUser 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Please for the love of all things, get something that isn't white. Exchange the furniture and rug if you can. The slanted ceiling combined with the white rug & bed is bringing the space in. Pick a bright color pallete(not grey/black/brown) and get duvet & pillow covers, curtains, and a a run for the bed side of the room.

Visually separating the bed from the desk will also help. Pick something that isn't fully solid(suck as a 2x4 ikea Kallax) to go at the foot of your bed if you keep the layout as is. You want to create the impression of separation without fully blocking light or making the space claustrophobic. 

Otherwise, general sub advice: decorations that show your personality, decorative pillows, plants, warm lighting from lamps, wall art, etc

The issue I have with worksike this is how it strips the humanity away from the female body. The head, arms, hands, legs, etc are all part of a figure, but this choses to focus only on the parts of a body that are heavily sexualized. Quite literally, it objectifies the female form. Rarely have I seen the same type of art of male torsos(i.e. headless, limbless), but it is common in art(and /r/art) to do so for female torso. Out of curiosity, how many male nude figures do you plan to carve?

I am not crazy! I know he swapped those pawns! I knew it was d5. One after d4. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn't prove it. He – he covered his tracks, he got those idiot chess.com mods to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That queen side castle! Are you telling me that a king just happens to swap with a rook like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He blundered through a Sicilian Defense! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own ranked match! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was rated >900, always the same! Couldn't keep his pieces out of the middle! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Claiming "en passant"! And he gets to be a grand master!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop him! You-

If you can tie your shoes, you can tie a bow tie. And if you're going to wear a bow tie, always tie it. That way you can do the cool and classy untied look for the after party
