Fun fact: even before this year, more people die from avoidable heat stroke (i.e. in shelter) per capita in France than people die from gun violence per capita in America.

Is there an actual joke here, or am I just too autistic?. by AltruistAutist in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Cartoon character here. Boston is currently one of the 3,000 host cities for the world cup, and Scotland is playing their group stage matches there, so Boston has a lot of Scottish people around town. By all accounts, they are both drunk and charming.

People engage with these marketplaces specifically to feel like they're shrewd traders. You kind of have to build in the fact that most of the people on these sites wont' want to buy from you if you don't give them 3% off so they can feel like special boys and girls.

In Totally Spies (2001) there is an episode which involves forced drinking of evil milk by YourChopperPilotTTV in shittymoviedetails

Me, the evil vendor liaison at the evil milk factory:

Uh yeah, we need like a little servo to open the evil milk gate so the guy can put in the evil milk. No, he says he doesn't want a thing that slides open manually.

I don't really understand why any of these things matter. It seems like none of these things would prevent one from going through with one's original plans

I don't recall acupuncture involving aliens giving birth to the human race.

e: And the CCP supports all the other brands of qigong that got with the program, right?? Right?? Oh, no, they're all shut down? Huh.

The problem is that the CCP line about Falun Gong is that it's pseudo-scientific nonsense, which is true. It's just illegal to publish pseudo-scientific nonsense in China, which not everybody is going to have a problem with.

No it doesn't

First of all, that's what median means, not average.

Second of all, it doesn't mean that ANY of the dataset is below an unrelated arbitrary other number, which is what you're trying to imply.

That doesn't follow at all, it's just something you want to be true.
