The definition as “involuntary celibate” is mostly used by the community whence the word comes… 4channers. Everywhere else, it has come to refer to the ideology of those who came up with it. Basically, misogynists who blame society, and particularly feminism for allegedly creating a world where it’s harder for them to get laid, and harder still to get a subservient housewife.

Oh I didn’t know Seal had lupus, but he’s awesome!

This is something the US considered doing too. Talibans have a big conflict against the Islamic State in Khorasan. (source)

The controversial part is equating “centrist” to “least biased”. Being a centrist is a political position, and like all others, it comes with its share of bias.

Beside, the “center” views depend in the country, year, and even on who you ask. A man can go from right wing to center to left without changing his stance on anything if the countries politics shift right, and the reverse is true. There were right-wing communists in the USSR, tho they were not right wing by capitalist standards.

There are objective ways to judge a news outlet: Whether they name their sources, whether they’ve been known to post updates and errata when an info they’ve posted turned out wrong, whether they’re independent, state-funded or dependent on a company, and in the two later cases, are the state or company known to make use of their influence on the news…

And the website quoted by the bot accounts for some of these… But political positioning, while worth mentioning, shouldn’t be used to calculate the reliability of an outlet. Doing so doesn’t fight bias, but just favors some bias over others.

Have a day.

Same. Or rather, people just said I spoke strangely without elaborating. Once a girl told me I spoke as if I was writing a book, which made me understand better.

The fatter the buns, the more they block water, and thus the longer you have before the bottom bun gets soggy.

That is true, but Republican’s electoral base mostly agrees with this whereas democrat’s electoral base doesn’t. Many Pro-republicans will gleefully vote for genocide or deny than that’s what’s going on. Pro-democrats, however are asked to tolerate genocide to vote for the lesser of two evils. It makes sense that the latter will protest and demand that the politicians who are supposed to represent them change their ways.

I’m not depressed (I think). But everyone I know well enough that I’m certain I could tell if they had symptoms of depression has at least some of these.

“Ususally more precise” > This depends on how precisely it is set, not on the display. Unless it’s a connected watch, but then it’s much more expensive and less energy efficient.

“1.1 translatable into written text” > Both are, you’re reading the same number

“Uses the superior 24h system” > Adding 12 to a number isn’t complicated. And with habit, most people who use analog watches and the 24h system know which position of the needle means what number in 24h format without doing the math. Some clocks don’t even have digits. Unless you’ve been sedated and woke up in a room without windows, you’ll know which side of 12 you’re on. And otherwise, you’ve got more pressing issues.

A lot, since I have an analog wristwatch and a wall clock. There were also analog clocks in several of the exam rooms where I last had exams.

I guess many people don’t use them regularly, but regardless, the simple fact that they still exist is enough to be worth learning about them. Not everything you learn at school is meant to be used every single day.

I know someone said more or less the same thing when it was posted on Tumblr, but if the schools realize most of their students don’t know a thing they should know… Shouldn’t they teach it?

There is one. Ask your mom.

That’s true for other people, but I’m built different.

I’m better.

The Gothic Wars (the ones with Belisarius retaking Italy from the Ostrogoths). I just like the irony that centuries after the Punic wars, there was another war where People invaded Italy from Carthage, but this time they were the Romans.

Yeah. A French equivalent could be “Nique l’extrème-droite”, but that would come out as ruder. Both words have the same literal meaning and same use in their respective language, but when " fuck" is used in French, it’s further from it’s literal meaning. “Fuck X” is then always perceived as a vague statement of hostility towards X, without the sexual connotation.

Boom boom akalakalaka boom!
