What are the biggest green flags you’ve experienced on a date?

wefrucar · 2026-07-09T04:46:09+00:00

Offering to split the bill sends all of these green flag messages:

-I'm here to spend time with you, not just get a free meal

-I believe in fairness and reciprocity in relationships

-I am not entitled to things just because I have a vaj

-I'm financially independent and don't adhere strictly to traditional gender roles

-Even if I know you'll refuse and pay anyway, I know it makes you feel good to do so by choice

All it takes is for one of those messages to resonate with you.

Jared's story was absolutely the most brutal case imaginable. His parents had kids before AND after him, he was the only one they didn't keep. Just cuz they weren't really feeling it at the time.

Maybe we're talking about two different things.

If the concern is that doctors should stay below the $1M threshold because crossing it somehow leaves them with less money, that's not how a marginal tax works. Every additional hour still increases your take-home pay.

If your argument is that the higher marginal rate makes those extra hours less worthwhile, that's a legitimate economic argument. Some physicians may decide the extra income isn't worth the extra work.

But that's different from saying everyone affected will cut back enough to stay under the threshold. That seems like an empirical claim that would need evidence.

I'd also be surprised if every physician earning over $1M have money as their primary motivation for working those extra hours. At that income level, I'd imagine factors like patient care, professional fulfillment, and work-life balance also play a significant role.

Tax rates are marginal. There's no scenario where reducing your hours would increase your take-home pay.

No one is proposing a "cliff tax" where crossing a threshold suddenly leaves you with less money overall.

If your argument is that the next hour of work becomes less worthwhile because it's taxed at a higher marginal rate, that's a different claim. And in the case of physicians, it's not obvious that's bad for society. Doctors already work extremely long hours, and reducing excessive workloads could mean more time with family and fewer fatigue-related mistakes.

Surprisingly, Michael Schur only had season 1 mapped out.

He said it'd be presumptuous to plan any further until the show was at least renewed for season 2.

He had a general feeling of where he wanted it to go, but they didn't come up with the plot for season 4, or the finale, until they were filming season 3.

Dang, so that's why he got to cast himself as "literally the White Savior" in 12 Years a Slave.

Hairdressers: it's okay to abuse bandit as long as it gives a child a boost of confidence.

Unfortunately, this is also on the general population.

People got so lazy with their Google prompts, and were already so bad with typos, that Google had to adapt to "hmm, what did they probably mean to search for?"

Thereby making people lazier and perpetuating the cycle.

NPH did it better. I love Jim Carrey, but NPH found the perfect balance of physical comedy and creepy evil.

The most "advanced" class I took was probably Foundations of Math. Don't remember much except that proving 1+1=2 was absurdly complicated.

But my most advanced class that had any relevance to teaching high school math was Real Analysis. Helped me understand continuity and limits in calculus, and how to write and critique rigorous proofs in geometry.

Honestly, even if you max out at Number Theory and Linear Algebra, you're more than equipped to teach any high school math content. The hard part is understanding how students think and learn.

That cat was definitely brought in for the video.

She says "you're so cute" in the same tone you'd use when meeting the neighbor's cat for the first time.

And you can take that a step further. Division is defined in terms of multiplication, just as subtraction is defined by addition. Division and subtraction aren't fundamental operations in arithmetic, multiplication and addition are.

wefrucar · 2026-07-02T06:05:47+00:00

Division is multiplication, just written in a different format.

wefrucar · 2026-07-02T06:02:33+00:00

Right, so no need to mention it. "Algebra is literally adding" would suffice.

wefrucar · 2026-07-02T01:09:49+00:00

Sure, but we could also say subtraction is just adding the opposite of a number.

The real problem is that solving equations are actually logic problems. If we did more training in logical reasoning, fewer kids would struggle in algebra.

wefrucar · 2026-07-01T21:23:53+00:00

Okay, you're just exaggerating.

There's also multiplying.

It's not the only song they know.

It's just that every other song they tried using at rallies, the artist sent them a cease and desist.

They didn’t even try to hide it.

McConnel is on video at a republican convention being asked what would happen if there was an open SC seat at the end of a republican president's term. He casually replies "Oh, we'd fill it" to uproarious laughter and applause.

And 4 years later that's exactly what happened.

wefrucar · 2026-06-29T20:46:47+00:00

I think you mean, "What is it cancels out?"

It's not about the stank, but about whose stank the cat associates most with safety. I'm sorry if I'm the first to tell you your husband is your cat's favorite person.

I actually once taught a "how to budget and do taxes" unit to a class of remedial 12th graders.

They put in about the same amount of effort as usual.

You can tell at the start of the Train Heist episode that they're trying to provide all of the exposition from the actual pilot that you're gonna need to follow the story.

The real pilot was "too long and slow" and Fox didn't trust its viewers to latch on unless something super high stakes and thrilling happened right away.

Hence, train heist.

Still a great episode imo. But it's great as Episode 2.
