@GarrettPetersen The literacy is so god damn real. He *specifically* said an "AP test."
Those are college level and require special courses to prepare for.
They are difficult tests.

This is true for a very difficult test and very very false for a relatively easy test.

Some media do not have certain kinds of racial representation, for example: The Lord of the Ring doesn't have a positive depiction of POC, the world of ATLA does not have black or white people,
and that is OK
And there is no need to ham-fistedly "fix" this

the people asking what episode of community this is from is so funny to me. this is literally how shows used to be promoted. just out of pocket soft core porn in magazines you’d buy at the grocery store for a show that aired at 7:30pm on NBC on Thursdays

You know how you can get a sample ballot from the party of org you trust so you don’t have to research obscure ballot inclusives and judges? They’d just include a the answers to the pop quiz there too
English
Ok it’s true that on average democrats are smarter and better informed than republicans. But if they implemented a test all that would happened is each party would invest in getting their coalition to memorialize the answers and the effects on who votes would be fairly minimal

What about the modern Republican voter makes you think that they would participate in that project?

“we’re not supposed to call it boystown bc it not inclusive enough” well when the boys in that part of town start getting inclusive you let me know and I’ll stop calling it that
Brynn aka Lop@brynnakalop
I’m sorry is there genuinely a part of Chicago called “boystown” or is this some elaborate bit

I didn’t really think the whole blue v. red button thought experiment was super enlightening, but now that we’re on like day 5 of right wingers melting down at basic concepts of prosociality, I’m thinking maybe this thought experiment is revealing of something lmfao

@josiahwsutton Again, the only people dying are firemen that started the fire, which is why every last one of you leftists are always scorned and mocked irl Creating problems then wanting praise for solving it. Welfare, homelessness, EBT, & everything is uncovered to be a money laundering scam

@Zennistrad Cool. Millenial craft eateries are so much more ubiquitous than your thing, it's not even funny
English
I don't fully agree. While American gastronomy largely sucked prior to the 90s, your local immigrant-owned cheesesteak joint that's been open since the 70s probably still has way better food than millenial craft restaurants.

One reason the Millennial Supremacy movement is important is because we possess the context to remember what the alternative to "omg bowl slop lol" actually is, which is just a bunch of stuff that was ass and generic while also not being cheaper, while also being super unhealthy.

It's called "culture," sweaty.

The problem is LatAm, at the time, was so unstable that literal random assholes could just show up and conquer Guatemala.
Buster Cretin@turbopisser
Wouldn't have happened because it was a total pipe dream. Even if secession had been successful, the Confederates wouldn't have had the capacity to successfully invade & occupy Mexico, the Caribbean, and much of Central & South America.

@weimin_suozhi @RoKhannaNews Well, their CORE was being a telegraph service. They didn't start doing wire transfers until 1872. But still a valid point.
English
@RoKhannaNews You will never believe what Western Union's original core business was.
English
i've always thought the original telegram was very underutilized, you could've had a basic version of global digital banking in the early 1900s

@RoKhannaNews For one, you did have that.
But allende in chile actually set up a giant network of teletype machines that worked like a 1970's version of skynet.
I suspect it worked too well.

I love letting a minimum of two strangers +anyone who taps into the line having access to all of my banking information.

@postsenjoyer @matthew_petti "Digital" is derived from "digit+al" not "di+gital." It's just the opposite of "anolog." Discrete rather than a spectrum. Paper books are technically digital.
English
@matthew_petti FACT CHECK: morse code isn’t digital in any meaningful way, if anything it’s trigital: dots and dashes are two symbols and they require a third blank symbol as padding
English
I mean, didn’t we? That’s why it’s called a “wire transfer.”

At 50 push-ups a day, it would take you 5 1/2 years to make that million dollars.
If you put your $1,000,000 into an S&P Index Fund, after 5 years you'll have $1.6m.
And the curve is just gonna get more steep.
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki
Take the million, because it would be too annoying to get in arguments every day with the entity who offered you the bet about whether a push-up counted as real or not.
