Rust Cohle sees you and has a vision about the vast emptiness of space, where he realizes that life has no meaning and time just repeats endlessly in an inescapable loop. He numbs himself every night trying to forget you, but he can’t escape the gravity of your memory. He’s pulled under the darkness, like a crashing ocean wave, and he’s drowning, over and over, in the inky blackness. He realizes you’re trans five years later, after everything he loves is dead, because he’s the only one who can.

Would you use the term “bitch” when talking about dogs? Or just say female dog to avoid being misunderstood? It used to be used that way, but now you’re going to sound like an asshole if you use it.

Once people start using a technical term as a slur, it gets tainted by that additional meaning. You can’t forcefully separate the technical term from the slur. If you don’t want people to think you’re throwing around slurs, you need to find a new word to use.

Don't blame the people hurt by the slurs, blame the assholes who misused the word so often that they fucked up its meaning.

It’s VERY mild approval. Like a step above OK. I’m acknowledging the existence of the thing and maybe nodding my head or giving a thumbs up, but I’m forgetting it immediately as soon as it leaves my field of view.

I assumed sleep apnea. CPAP users of today are the past’s “dang he died mysteriously in his sleep, oh well!”

Yes, that’s a huge part of it. “Democratic” has been poisoned as word for many Republicans to the point where they can’t even discuss topics like democracy without experiencing reflexive disgust. So much of their decision making is centered around fighting things that make them feel scared or icky, it makes a twisted kind of sense.

Try to light it on fire! Cellophane burns like paper, while plastics will melt.

I can happen to you! You can be in your late 30s, never had an issue. Then one day, BAM! The dream was too vivid and you’ve pissed the bed. Your body will betray you some day.

atomicorange ,

Hahaha missed that. I’ll leave it to keep the menace levels elevated.

Good luck with your urinary tract!

    They could have just asked! I’ll happily piss in any cop car, free of charge.

    Could we compromise on eating Ds and booting Micky?

    atomicorange ,

    You gotta learn to have fun with it. Maybe use glitter.

    Great write up! The answer is use parentheses or fractions and stop wasting everyone’s time 😅

    atomicorange ,

    I originally had the same reasoning but came to the opposite conclusion. Multiplication and division have the same precedence, so I read the operations from left to right unless noted otherwise with parentheses. Thus:

    6/2=3

    3(1+2)=9

    For me to read the whole of 2(1+2) as the denominator in a fraction I would expect it to be isolated in parentheses: 6/(2(1+2)).

    Reading the blog post, I understand the ambiguity now, but i’m still fascinated that we had the same criticism (no parentheses implies intent) but had opposite conclusions.

    atomicorange ,

    I’m a scientist and I’ve only ever encountered strong juxtaposition in quick scribbles where everyone knows the equation already. Normally we’re very careful to use fraction notation (or parentheses) when there’s any possibility of ambiguity. I read the equation and was shocked that anyone would get an answer other than 9.

    Read the linked article

    atomicorange ,

    You look like a real idiot here. I really suggest you actually read the article instead of “scanning” it. You clearly don’t even understand the term “implicit multiplication” if you’re claiming it’s made up. Implicit multiplication is not the controversial part of this equation, which you would know if you read the article and understood what people in this thread are even talking about. Stop spamming your shitty blog and just. Read. The. Article.

    Skimmed your comment and it’s wrong. Let me know if you ever decide to read the article instead of arguing against an imagined opponent.

    atomicorange ,

    Why would I bother to read your comment when I know it’s wrong?

    atomicorange ,

    I’ll read your comment when you read the article. Challenge level: impossible.

    atomicorange ,

    I stopped reading your comment when I saw you still hadn’t read the article.

    atomicorange ,

    I’ll take that as admission that you’re too unintelligent to read.

    atomicorange ,

    Wow you’re a slow reader LOL

    atomicorange ,

    All of them. Every prion disease affects the same protein in the brain. They’re all 100% fatal degenerative encephalitis diseases and they just plain suck.
