People are in urgent need of elementary instruction in the rudiments of number terminology.
A billion is a million millions (1,000,000,000,000).
A billion is not, as is so tiresomely asserted in the less numerate quarters of society, a mere thousand millions (1,000,000,000).
From which it follows that "billionaires" do not exist. No one is in possession of anything remotely approaching a million millions.
The taxonomy may be set out as follows:
1,000,000 — millionaire
1,000,000,000 — grand-millionaire
1,000,000,000,000 — billionaire
1,000,000,000,000,000 — grand billionaire
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 — trillionaire
There exist yen-billionaires, but dollar-billionairs and pound-billionaires are an entirely mythological species.
Thus, it will be seen that language, finance, & common usage appear to be engaged in a most unhelpful conspiracy against proper arithmetic.

in ap lang we had an assignment where we read past exam essays and guessed what they scored and this one became a biblical text in my friend group for years

@skull_measurer That's kind of mean. Surely it would only last a few dozen.

Hot take how about we use her blubber to power the NYC street lamps for the next 100 years

Hot take, maybe, but I don't think she should be fired for this (it's not directly related to her job) but she absolutely should be imprisoned for theft of public property and aggravated littering. Not for a decade or anything, but like: 30 days? Sure. Thirty Days.

In pinku Hard Scandal: Sex Drifter (Noboru Tanaka, 1980), a teen runs away from his swinger parents, stalks and rapes a random dressmaker, and then becomes her lover. She turns him into a tranvestite and he's gangraped by bikers. Told in the fashion of a coming-of-age teen sex...

@FreethruJustice @reddit_lies I don't know if that's even true but isn't obviously better that a child is adopted instead of killed? Where's the logic?

@Dongstein @reddit_lies Turning it into a profit center for your church is not a good thing.

"I know crisis pregnancy centers are bad but I don't know why"
English
@FreethruJustice @reddit_lies Is it not better to let the child live? What kind of sick gotcha is this even if were true?
English
@reddit_lies Crisis pregnancy centers are used to convince women to give their babies up for private adoption brokered through an attached entity, usually a church.
Don't abort your baby because we will find someone to buy it to enrich our church!

A slur doesn't stop being a slur because teenagers started using it. Today's @nytimes "On Language" column treats the antisemitic slur "goyslop" as a fun linguistic curiosity rather than what it is: a term rooted in white supremacist conspiracy theories. Normalizing this kind of language is dangerous. "Goyslop" is not just edgy slang. It combines "goy," the Hebrew word that colloquially refers to non-Jews, with "slop" to promote a conspiracy theory that Jewish people deliberately poison non-Jews with cheap food to keep them docile. It was coined and spread by antisemites and white supremacists. No amount of teenage adoption changes that origin. Such terms spread negative stereotypes and conspiracy theories. Their normalization is exactly what the bigots who coined them aspire to. A bit more on this here: momentmag.com/goyslop/

@SNienow @ggreenwald We're putting you in a fucking camp man. Sorry, not sorry.

@ggreenwald Lesson learned.

A 19-year-old college student quietly turns down a job interview, stupidly telling the company it's because he doesn't want to work for a Jew.
Within two days:
-- The billionaire founder of one of the world's most powerful corporations (Palantir) demands that the company release his the student's to the world. The company instantly complies.
-- National media trumpet the incident and spread the student's name and face all over the place.
-- A senior Trump DOJ official repeatedly urges the public to notify him if that student is ever hired anywhere in the future, promising to use his office to keep the student permanently unemployable.
Adults with large, influential platforms -- pundits, media types, even elected officials -- right here on X routinely say things as bad as, and often much worse than, pretty much every other group you can think of without facing a single consequence let alone a completely unhinged coordinated campaign of very powerful people to run their lives forever:

@_7homas777 In 2020 I had a dream after eating Chinese food that they intentionally allowed COVID to happen to harm us and them at the same time as a type of gambit. Strange stuff to ponder.

America and China are engaged in a RACE WAR - REGIME apparatchiks however are so conceptually illiterate they honestly do not recognize this (nor does the American BODY POLITIC).
They believe the PRC is plotting to assault TAIWAIN with obsolete combined arms for zero strategic benefit or is going to inexplicably challenge the US NAVY to a COLD WAR arms race. RASSENKRIEG within the extant GLOBALIZED paradigm is waged by way of poisonous chemicals like FENTANYL, among other means. NOT by way of obsolescent, 20th Century arms.

@owenbroadcast The problem is that obama is failing the green line test in this potrait

no opinion on this painting but it displays lack of boldness that no head of state, world leader, whatever, has just gone for it and commissioned the first official portrait that is non-representational (abstract). would make everyone mad and be an actual new development in art
Pop Crave@PopCrave
The Obamas have unveiled their first-ever commissioned portrait together. Painted by Njideka Akunyili Crosby, the artwork will be displayed in the lobby of the new Obama Presidential Library.

@meonmytwocents @Didaskalos71166 @Anthony_Bonato 1 is considered not a prime by definition because it makes the statement of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic simpler to state among other things.
English
@Didaskalos71166 @Anthony_Bonato The number 1 is not a prime number because it only has one factor (itself).
2 is the only even prime number.
