But nobody else posts two. 😐

2nd oldest or 2nd newest?

Reminds me of a funny performance about the topic by a commedian named ISMO. He does a lot of things with the English language.

Reminds me of Magic Maze, a boardgame in which player play a Barbarian, a Dwarf, an Elf and a Magician who lost all of their gear in battle and now resort to robbing a shopping mall so they can go on their next adventure.

To be fair I wrote the answer, then figured “surely somebody else must’ve written an answer by now”, refreshed, saw two other answers (one 12 seconds old), thought “fuck it” and posted anyway. They’re all written a bit differently so maybe some are easier to understand than others.

It’s a trap. The drawing is misleading. If the left triangle already has 60° and 40° then only 80° remains. Meaning there’s no right angle. The vertical line should be leaning to the left slightly. The correct answer is 135°.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.

To me that seems like a bold claim considering “the divine right of kings” has not been successfully resisted nor was it escaped from. Monarchies still exist on every continent, people of royalty still get more rights and better treatment than others, once-royal families still possess loads of wealth, still rule countries in high political positions, still own many companies and other wealth generating assets. Humans have gained unfair advantages due to their lineage for thousands if not tens of thousands of years and I highly doubt that this will change massively in the next thousand years.

Regardless, it still sounds like a really nice speech though.

How about ducks?

You mean besides the religious ritual aspect and telling people what to do? From a medical perspective that seems to be the whole idea yeah.

😄 Wordplay!
A quick note since it might not be clear, I just randomly assumed that doctors need about 1 or 2 hours to consult with the patient and do the operation. With an average hourly wage in South Africa according to “the internet” of about $15 to $20 and medical tools/facilities costing an estimated $10 or so. Maybe it’s a bit more or less, but those numbers seemed sane and careful enough. Like all the numbers in my estimation they could easily be off by a factor of two or so. Also, since this is about disease prevention note that this is hopefully not done by some random black market quack doctor.

I was curious about the source used for this graph and found it’s a free book that’s available online in the National Library of Medicine (of the US). Here’s Chapter 7 of the book Disease Control Priorities as referenced in the picture.

Why does it make you suspicious? Oh I see, blades near genitals sure are scary.

On the statistic: A little bit of a snip doesn’t seem very expensive to me. I wonder if this statistic also includes the cost for consulting with the doctor or the reduced risk of spreading HIV to other people. According to some reports on the topic by the World Health Organization and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it seems to reduce the risk of HIV infection by a bit more than 50% and reduces other infection risks too.

Assuming $1000 can afford about 20 to 50 circumcisions, assuming they happen almost exclusively for high risk males (eg men with wife working as a sex worker, or wife living in high risk areas in south/east africa, or men frequently changing sex partners) and assuming this extends life spans for about 5 to 20 years by preventing an infection, those numbers kinda seem sane.

edits: Added links, better formatting, some extra comments, etc.

Maybe it’s a sort of strapon biting fetish.

I don’t really know much about this topic even after reading the article. It does bother me however that there’s so many channels/server on Telegram full of spammers that seem to offer drugs and prostitution. It’s almost like those were the only things that exist in this world. Which is such a huge waste of a chat program.

Also who the hell listens to any of the nonsense influencers/politicians write in their heavily biased channels, seriously, I can’t find a sane reason to join those, yet strangely that seems to be the only reason the masses use this tool. It’s all just confusing.

I want a comic about a friendly android who finds humor in spooking humans with red eyes (and other things).

Don’t forget the fact that this is all started by horny plants who only dress up nicely and offer sweets to allure innocent little bees because dirty as they are plants want bees to touch their genitalia to smear pollen all over their bodies as the little ones fly from plant to plant, exchanging pollen by means of a never ending bukkake.

I think rating genres is generally not a useful thing. I feel as though pidgeonholing games, music, videos or other things into categories and judging them based on that could lead to narrow-mindedness. Each genre has great games and each genre has bad games.

Some genres are more interesting to some people, but I’d say that’s because hobbies are sort of random and not because some are better than others. If by chance you happen to get a deeper knowledge about a certain genre or topic you will become more interested in it naturally. That doesn’t mean other things are more boring by nature.

I’d say blind and ignorant have very different meanings.

Being blind to something means you are unable to register it, you might be searching for it but can’t find it even though it’s right in front of you, it’s a sensory thing. Even being blind to social cues is a sort of sensory thing.

Being ignorant means you can see it but, perhaps due to a lack of open mindedness, decide that it is something else or assign incorrect characteristics to it even though eg measurements have shown different things. This could be due to a lack of trust, an agenda, or something else entirely.

Both of them make it difficult for you to learn the truth, but the causes and problems you experience are different.
