@scsautism Well his priest never mentioned that when scheduling his wedding. Only mentioned it right before. Which seems like something anyone would mention in advance unless they just enjoy 'cockblocking'.
> be me. 37 y/o
> see pretty girl at church
> she comes from a great family
> dad likes you a lot
> 15 years older than girl
> ask priest if that's too big a gap
> "no big deal"
> introduce yourself to girl
> she takes a liking to you immediately
> same. cool
> you and she overtly flirt for a couple of months, develop a real connection, talk for hour and hours
> ask her dad for permission to ask her out. he gives it enthusiastically
> ask her out
> “I don’t think of you that way & you're too old”
> respond with “I don’t believe you”
> she's mad, tries to play games, attack character, stir drama, passive aggression towards other wahmen
> two years pass, other girls have come and gone, she’s still single
> her younger friend takes interest because she still won’t stfu about you
> these girls watch me constantly
> notice this, unsure about age difference (20 years lol), only observe
> ask the friend's dad about what you've noticed
> he tells you talk to his daughter
> never do, unsure about age (19); just doesn't sit well
> she and friend both keep watching; keep noticing
> others notice she and friend doing this
> do nothing; just observe
> she yells at you in public for noticing her friend’s attention. first time speaking for two years
> respond with "fuck off and fuck you"
> two months pass
> have shown both girls no attention whatsoever
> she bitches to mutuals that you aren’t showing her attention even though she supposedly has bf now
> LOL sux2b him

Personally, I’m not impressed by Elon Musk becoming the first “trillionaire”.
He was born into wealth, attended private schooling and never had to worry about saving or putting a roof over his head.
The freedom to fail and take a risk was a luxury given to him on a plate.
@ZachWLambert You act as if it's a finite pie, and his big slice means that others have to get smaller slices. He's making the pie larger, and he's getting a large percentage of the increase, but it doesn't take pie away from others. They still have their pie, and many share in the increase.
Elon Musk is now a trillionaire. More specifically, his net worth is $1.2 trillion or $1200 billion. That number doesn’t even compute for most of us, so here is some helpful context:
The USDA needs $18.8 billion to feed every child in the US school system breakfast and lunch each day. Elon could pay for that 64x and still have money leftover.
The World Food Program needs $13 billion to feed the 110 million hungriest people on earth. Elon could pay for that 92x and still have money leftover.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness needs $9.6 billion to provide housing for every unhoused person in the United States. Elon could pay for that 125x and still have money leftover.
The average American teacher makes $74,495 per year. Elon could pay the annual salary of over 16 million teachers and still have money leftover.
The problem is not that we don’t have enough money. The problem is that we have built a world where one person can accumulate more wealth than the GDP of 180 countries while children go hungry, families drown in medical debt, teachers are forced to buy school supplies for their students, and people sleep on the streets.
This is a complete moral failure.
It's crazy to me that that Trump is throwing himself a $60 million birthday party when the American people can't afford gas due to a war that HE started.
The disconnect is ASTONISHING.
@mt_levalley@ErikVoorhees Elon's net worth increased by an estimated $118 billion on Friday. Whose pockets was it redistributed from? Did anybody get poorer from the IPO, or did the pie just grow larger, and he got a larger slice of the incremental increase? That's not redistribution.
@ErikVoorhees translation: redistribution from one to many = inherently evil (without any explanation aside from "but, but... socialism"); redistribution from many to one = totally free market, freedom-loving "America Fuck Yeah" capitalism.
If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.
The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.
And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.
Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.
@alexboge@learningporvida It's not stupid to understand when to use:
the average ratio (a true representation of the data without bias)
vs
the weighted average ratio (when the goal is to account for the importance of different components or categories)
There are no different components or categories here
A Deceptively Simple Problem That Made Einstein Pause
In 1934, Max Wertheimer - one of the founders of Gestalt psychology - wrote to his friend Albert Einstein with a seemingly simple problem:
“An old clattery auto is to drive a stretch of 2 miles, up and down a hill. Because it is so old, it cannot drive the first mile - the ascent - faster than with an average speed of 15 miles per hour. Question: How fast does it have to drive the second mile - on going down, it can, of course, go faster - in order to obtain an average speed (for the whole distance) of 30 miles an hour?”
Can you solve it?
Don’t Google it. Don’t ask Grok. Don’t let the comments spoil it. Think it through for yourself first.
@Hyperbolaman@alexboge You're just using the same equation as before with the word "ratio." I think the thing that can help us all rest easy is knowing that you are not in a position where misunderstanding this concept matters. As long as the scientists, engineers, etc. get it, we're good.
@learningporvida@alexboge The formula for Average Ratio is
AR = (R1 + R2 + R3... +RX)/X
where
AR = average ratio
R1, R2, etc. = individual ratios observed
X = number of ratios entered.
Thanks for pointing out the ratio concept (miles:hours) since it brings in the proper formula for 2 ratios
R2 = 2AR - R1
@Hyperbolaman@alexboge While that works for many things, it doesn't work for numbers with ratios as their units. Here's an example: If snow on the ground weighs 10 psf over 1 square foot and 20 psf over 99 square feet, the average psf is not 15 psf. It's 19.9 psf.
@learningporvida@alexboge Average is the arithmetic mean, the sum of all numbers divided by the total number of numbers. So the question asks (15 + X)/2 = 30
Distance and time are measurements expressed as units (eg. miles and hours).
Speed (distance/time) is a measurement expressed as units (miles/hour).
@Hyperbolaman@alexboge Even if there was time available, driving one mile at 15 mph and one mile at 45 mph does not average out to 30 mph. It's 22.5 mph. Average speed is distance divided by time. These are standard equations. Very easy to verify with a quick search.
@learningporvida@alexboge That confuses the average for the actual.
Might as well say each US State has the exact same number of people as what would result from the entire US population divided by 50.
@Hyperbolaman@alexboge But it includes both time and distance. Average speed is distance traveled divided by time. Since distance is set at 2 miles, the time required to average 30 mph is 4 minutes. Since 4 minutes was used on the way up, there is 0 time left to travel one mile.
