the real thing an adult needs to realize is that the pizza chains have already run the numbers on pizza square inches per dollar, so if you want to beat the curve, what you actually need to be calculating is the integral of your marginal utility curve with respect to pizza area

@anonananman @PIRATE_ANZU Most restaurants don’t give you the weight either, you just get some amount of food on the plate and hope it’s enough
English
@LKSGTwentyFour @PIRATE_ANZU I want more pizza, and those evil pizza makers refuse to tell me how much more pizza I'm actually getting. The diameter is an evil evil italian abstraction
English
@anonananman @PIRATE_ANZU You generally want more toppings, not more dough, which would comprise a large chunk of weight, while being a fraction of the total price per pizza.

@fivestarmichael Economic system is irrelevant, the growth of palm oil is due to population growth inducing demand for cooking fat, palm oil is simply the most land efficient way to produce fat
English
I'm not a commie or some hippie environmentalist, but there is something wrong with an economic system that encourages the destruction of over 50,000 sq. miles of Indonesian rainforest to produce palm oil.
That's an area the size of Pennsylvania, the only habitat for endangered orangutans, being destroyed so we can produce billions of Oreo cookies and millions of jars of Nutella.

@malmesburyman I think everyone plays some form of team invasion game?
English
Do other cultures not play Capture the Flag as children? At least to me, there’s something primal about going into the other team’s base, taking something of value, and bringing it back to ours.

@axiochrono In terms of population it obviously doesn't come close, but there are other factors...

11% of people thinking Edinburgh is Britain's second city is crazy. It's *Scotland's* second city if anything.

@CaribbeanRythms Your projected cuckhold fantasy is bizzarre and misses the much more simple answer that pointing out blacks are foreign is a major social taboo enforced by libtards, the leagues and government itself
English
At some point you can’t help but notice that sportsball fans obsession with bringing in foreigners to play for their national teams bleeds into the bedroom. Spectators in every facet of their lives.
Martino@MartinoPooch
I got way too many people on social media attacking Moise Kean, saying that he is a "foreigner" and should never play for Italy. Mind you, these are Italian Diaspora saying this. Meanwhile, Kean was born and raised in Italy......

@lost_nomad__ I've never got why the word insecurity is used in this context, one could be extremely secure whilst the other party is out and out cheating on them. Likewise someone apparently insecure could be enforcing reasonable boundaries. Security seems like a useless, manipulative term.
English
Actually a surprisingly deep topic. It’s similar to how people think Boomers/Silent Gen “touch people too much” or “complain about their wives too much”
In some ways, generations have become more and more 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦

Millennial cuck humor is so weird

@YIMBYKieran I hate how people advocate for their own interest in a... checks notes..... democracy
English
One of the worst features of referendums is how the winners act as if it’s permanent and any change to it is a betrayal of democracy and the losers act as if it doesn’t matter and we can have a second referendum a few years later

Are we still gonna run with the Brexit betrayal line?

@virtualMFer @PalmyrPar Thank you for being the one to say it. Mirror's edge just isn't very deep !
English
It's clearly a game whose design pitch was "let's make a game that merges the free-flowing feel of parkour with the elevating, aspirational spirit of frutiger aero aesthetics" with a simple 'evil corpo-police' story stapled on for convenience, yet these people have to believe it's some 8-layer treatise on the subversiveness of fascist aesthetics.

These guys are so vulnerable to fascist propaganda they fall for the fake in universe propaganda from video games and action movies

@comradenemo @realmsmisery "And if someone was close enough to shove a rondel between your breastplate and gorget without you killing them, why wouldn't they just shove it through your visor?"
English
@anonananman @realmsmisery They get close enough when you're both exhausted, wrestling in the mud trying to overpower one another after battering each other. They are anti armor weapons with a slender blade profile made solely to ignore plate, break chainmail links and pierce fabrics.
English
It’s three adaptations deep & they’re still putting the gorgets on top of the breastplate, ensuring every knight who wears this armor will receive a sword through the neck for their troubles

@tempus_convivii Dogs are spiritually black, that's why they're loud and yearn to feast on children.
English
@comradenemo @realmsmisery A rondel isn't a sword, even then a padded arming cap with a chainmail coif would protect well in most situations. And if someone was close enough to shove a rondel between your breastplate and gorget without you killing them, why wouldn't they just shove it through your visor?
English
@anonananman @realmsmisery mfer chainmail won't do shit if you get a rondel jabbed into your fuckin neck
English
@anonananman Just gonna assume you don’t understand how pyshics works
English
@nilolazanoza @realmsmisery In the show the director no doubt just wants to show off the actors face, though in battle we can only presume they'd wear a helmet with a padded arming cap and a chainmail coif on account of mediaeval people not wanting their neck to get shanked into mincemeat
English
@anonananman @realmsmisery I don't see chainmail near neck, only shitty clothes. But at least their balls are protected by chainmail
English
@nonregemesse I don't understand why alternative punishments dissapeared completely, compulsory service, corporal punishment, public humiliation/stockades, and hanging seem obviously appropriate for different sorts of criminals
English
We should bring back some form of slavery as punishment.
Paying for this woman to be in prison is a waste of money. She’s not really a threat.
She should just be given like…a decade of weekends of community service. Maybe every evening and weekend.
Something like that.

23-year-old Scottish influencer Ellie Crampsie is facing jail after Border Force caught her smuggling 17.7kg of cannabis worth up to £151,000 into the UK. She had the haul vacuum-packed in 17 separate bags hidden inside her luggage at Edinburgh Airport after flying back from Thailand. The Glasgow beauty business owner, who runs Brows by Ellie, has already pleaded guilty to supply charges. All sentencing options, including prison, remain wide open. Somehow i don't think she will last 5 minutes in prison..

@FischerKing64 You'd need to control for the iq of the parents of course, seeing how those having children younger tend to be lower iq. Doubt any survey has parents iq, children's iq and age of parents at birth
English
A study analyzing IQ, health and longevity of people born to young parents (say both in their early 20s) vs people born to ‘professionals’ who wait until their late 30s or 40s. This might be revealing. You might find the kids born to younger people are better across the board.
