Why can’t a circle self-identify as a square? Is there not some kind of shape fluidity between circles and squares? Are they not fundamentally the same? They all fundamentally consist of area.

Blud never heard of topology

I'm jokerpilled, goblin mode with mad doomer energy though

I guess using it as a polite euphemism for this kind of thing is valid

But they could say that instead right? That's valid

That's fair. As is the implication that excessive medical debt is part of American culture

(Hope she's ok)

At least it's honest and leaves no room for grifters to come in and say "oh he's actually progressive and we can drag him left" 🤷‍♀️

It does kind of get into the idea that people from more white cultures were much more obsessed with putting their name on things and attaching their identity to ideas that weren't actually diving real world problems at the time. Like the Chinese remainder theorem solved a real world problem whereas the stuff European mathematicians were doing was more akin to philosophy. It wasn't until recent history that we've made use of some really old mathematical ideas. And like not to say other cultures weren't focused on more theoretical stuff, but the white hegemony would definitely discard whatever they did

I think the problem is twitter lmao. TikTok is full of NYC slander at this point (like to the point of I'd make this post complaining about how overdone it is - NYC isn't more dirty and crowded than a lot of cities in the world Americans are just spoiled who want suburb level sprawl at all times)

Nope it does this for me on every browser and incognito or not. It does seem to be geolocation altering

In communist China...

They should though 😤

That makes sense. But once this is done is there a general expectation things will open up again? Like this is happening in place of continuing lockdowns?

How will they report your results to you and did they say what will happen if you test positive?

Large sentiment

No they often were but there were also systems and scientific progress in place to get humanity out of every pickle they've been in. It's one of the more frustrating arguments to have is with die hard neoliberal Steven Pinker/David Deutsch stans that just claim that since we've gotten out of everything else in history so far then surely well make it out of every issue presently threatening is without an examination of how some efforts of the past did affect how life was lived and maybe certain threats aren't just going to be "oh some guy will take care of it while I continue living my life of luxury"

To be fair most classes are called English and literature or something but yes translated books are very common

For an article about language this sure says nothing

Heh wired

“You don’t really see a human being so much as you’re seeing someone masked,” Sampson said. Though one study found that face masks don’t dehumanize the wearer, another small experiment found that they do impair people’s ability to detect emotions. Mental illness can’t explain this

Weird how Asian countries that have normalized mask wearing aren't rampant with crime..
