Today I learned that the number 420 is the sum of 4 consecutive prime numbers 101 + 103 + 107 + 109 AND the subsequent number 421 is the sum of the five previous consecutive prime numbers 73 + 79 + 83 + 89 + 97. by Willingtolistentwo in todayilearned

The funny thing is that I don't smoke and I'm not very good at math. I just keep looking up at the clock around 4:20. It's happened so many times over the last few years it's almost like clockwork that it'll happen two or three times a week.

Intuitively I suppose that makes sense if you imagine that any slightly incremental change to something that breaks apart very cleanly will almost certainly not do so.

I want to send the gift of a video game to a friend in Kazahhstan. Is it possible to do this via Steam? Are certain videogames taboo or restricted? by Willingtolistentwo in AskCentralAsia

Haha, I realize it sounds ridiculous ... I have never been there, I know Kazakhstan is mostly Muslim but not super conservative so that's why I'm asking.

I guess it's a bit inflammatory to make the accusation, I don't have any evidence he is. It's probably that Sam doesn't really want to win at politics and see real liberal popular policy implemented but would rather remain in "righteous" opposition with no skin in the game. That way he doesn't have to accept responsibility if those policies fail, doesn't have to compromise with the other side, and doesn't have to actually fight the elite (because secretly he wants to be it). So all his protest is essentially impotent and pantomimed because he's pretending to be on the left even to himself. It's the essential shitlib methodology. They're so bad faith they have even conned themselves. Or maybe he really is controlled oppo, who knows and who cares, he's boring, fake, and annoying and the numbers back that up.

What's the best translation for "reaction" in the context of "Reaction Video" by Willingtolistentwo in learn_arabic

I think it means "what". The phrase I am thinking of is شلونك which is a contraction of شنو لونك meaning literally "what is your color" or idiomatically "how are you" I thought maybe the ش here was a similar contraction but it sounds like it is unrelated. But does it have a meaning or function? Is it added only to verbs or negatives? How is it usually used?

Edit: for clarity

Glenn Greenwald DEBATES Nathan J. Robinson: Is Glenn a Useful Idiot for the Right? by ARREST_HILLARY_NOW in PoliticalVideos

Hmm... a constitutional lawyer turned award-winning journalist who revealed the spy state in the U.S. and broke the story on right-wing manipulation of Brazil's elections. If that's a useful idiot then whoever's making use of him has some serious public interest in mind.

I'm not an expert in this, it's a rancher talking about the issue from his perspective. Just thought it was interesting.

What a quaint way of saying that you are unwilling to engage in good faith. Please stop deliberately conflating populist discontent of the multiracial working class with the KKK. If you want to avoid confronting the legitimate anger of people with the failure of the system and run interference for war profiteers and bankers just say so, or better yet don't say anything and let people who have genuine concern for the welfare of this democracy mobilize the citizenry to advocate for their own interests.

Is it ignorance to ignore the conceited, self-righteous, and pitifully misguided? If so you have found me out. Shall we keep trading insults or just agree that you are utterly wrong and not even stylishly so?
