@BiancoDavinci Then what happens if you reverse it, irregularities in the center and grid on the outside?

This is a healing grid by Japanese artist Ryota Kanai. If you stare at the center, the irregularities start to heal themselves because your brain strongly prefers to see regular patterns.

@chess_feed If I only I knew this was possible yesterday when I was in that position.

White to move, mate in 1!

@jessisajew His account says satire.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

@RondureGyre @DavidAFrench The current immigration laws and their enforcement violate the rights of your fellow Americans and make their lives worse.

@DavidAFrench You retards are preventing ice from deporting criminal illegals That is orders of magnitude more corrupt than this....and fyi, that post is leaving out critical information... making it propaganda

The sheer scale of the corruption boggles the mind.

@shadydoorags If you have any sort of investments or savings that earn interest, then you’re partially a capitalist.

"Capitalist", like most words, has more than one definition and requires context. When most people say "I am a capitalist" they typically mean "I support capitalism", which doesn't require you to own capital in order to be true. This is very different from someone who supports communism or socialism because those are systems that require everyone to participate, by force if necessary, and thus if you want one of those systems, including their negative consequences, it makes sense that you would start imposing those systems on yourself, first. In capitalism, you do not have to own capital, make a product nor distribute it, you're just in an environment that allows everyone to do so. However, let's assume the NPC is using a different definition of "capitalist". Most people do own capital, they just don't use it to its fullest extent, though I guess it would be more accurate to call those things "potential capital". I own a computer and I use that computer to make a product, videos. I allow my product to be distributed by a company, YouTube, in exchange for a percentage of the profit. This also allows for potential growth of my brand, which in turn creates potentially more wealth for myself, which I can put towards more capital. Most people who own computers don't use them that way, but it doesn't dismiss the fact that they could.

@illjoy_ Yeah, there’s legit reasons that first person is bad, but this ain’t it.

I’m honestly kind of speechless at how stupid this is

@codez @ManMilk2 If it’s a crime not to hire someone for their tats, then it shouldn’t be one. You shouldn’t be able to put people in jail or take their money (via your agent the government) if they won’t hire you because they don’t like your tats.

@Ideal_Induction @ManMilk2 It was a job interview. His comments showed his prejudice towards people who looked different. That was going to affect his hiring decisions. It would lead to discrimination based on how one looked. Isn't that a crime?

@codez @ManMilk2 He was rude, but being rude shouldn’t be a crime.

@ManMilk2 I'm with her on this. In a professional setting like a job interview, you can't be demeaning people with such comments. They are free to have tattoos as they wish. Keep it professional. Keep it human.

@lixirlai The point of e-readers is so you can carry a 1000 books with you and you can instantly get a new book and it often has a built in light and it can do other stuff besides reading. Your garbage environmentalist purpose only applies to environmentalists.

@Ideal_Induction and the point of e-readers IS to be better for the environment and by buying 15 of them you render that completely useless

having multiple e-readers is so funny to me because it defeats the WHOLE POINT of e-readers

@lixirlai Social media has broken your brain. Can’t even have a polite conversation. And no, it’s not like comparing it to 15 houses. Maybe a few houses.

@Ideal_Induction and comparing them to bowls is also so dumb because that’s like saying you bought 15 houses with different aesthetics just because you could ?????

@NoNonsenseND I don’t know enough to have an opinion about that claim.

@larathereader Just guessing, but sentimental value and different e-readers have different reading experiences (particularly if you include tablets as an e-reader). Also, variety can be a value as well.

Why would anybody need so MANY ereaders ??? Is each of them categorized for a genre or something because this is consumerism final boss

@narutmz One of my biggest gripes with Naruto, that and giving a guy the ability to basically resurrect himself.

naruto was only 13 reaching lvls of yearning that aren’t even achieved by most shoujo male leads

@even_steven8tht Supposing he means all city workers, the government should probably be able to offer work to people who don’t produce enough value for taxpayers to earn enough to support themselves and a child.

America is such a fascinating place because this man is providing a service that actually materially benefits people, arguably what the government is designed to do, and you will still see articles upon articles trying to convince you he’s actually doing a bad thing.

@TheRealJustCN Oh. Vegeta shouldn’t be teaching lol.

@TheRealJustCN Aizen at least.

Who shouldn't be in this class?

@Less_HumbleTeej She was dating twin A, the twin that she had originally declared was the father of her child, so she knew if she and twin B aren’t lying about sleeping with each other.

Wait…did she KNOW she was having sex with both of them or did one of them trick her?

@So2Speak23 Man here. There are ugly and beautiful collar bones. Any part of the body can be well formed or malformed. That doesn’t mean it’s worth getting plastic surgery.

“She’d be so much hotter without a collarbone” is not a sentence a single man has ever uttered since the dawn of humanity.

@EdLatimore Due to the lack of an actual beneficial masculinity being offered by proponents of toxic masculinity, it de facto was introduced in place of masculinity. Also, the immigration debate isn’t a language precision issue at all.

I've had a small beef about the "toxic masculinity" convo I've been meaning to get off my chest. Was "toxic masculinity" introduced in place of "masculinity"... Or was "toxic" just the adjective added to describe a particular type of masculinity? If it's the former—toxic masculinity is the only form of masculinity there is—ok, we have a serious problem that needs to be constantly pushed back against. However, if it's the latter... What are we even doing? I'd prefer to describe it as "bum ass nigga syndrome" rather than "toxic masculinity," but it's not invalid to say some dudes are toxic. It's like how the immigration debate ONLY persists because of language imprecision. "Illegal immigrants" versus "legal." Though, of course, when people tried to rectify that, then the linguistic lunacy even further with the phrase "No human is illegal."
