  • Counterpoint: a lot of the time, no one actually tells you why they don’t want to be your friend. People want to be polite and avoid talking about your negative traits, but they end up just perpetuating them because you don’t know how to improve.

    In addition, not everyone has a choice in how they present themselves. If someone has a physical or mental disability they might slur words, put weird emphasis on words, or do other things that disturb other people.

    A mile is 1760 yards, and there are three feet in a yard. Therefore, 1760 feet is 1/3 of a mile, and 2/3s of a mile is 3520 feet.

    The imperial system is actually excellent for division and multiplication. All units are very composite, so you usually don’t need to worry about decimals.














  • This always cracks me up, because it’s a perfect example of a snake eating it’s own tail. “Based” was originally just a shortened way of saying “based in reality” or “based in fact”, but new people didn’t get the original context, so it just became it’s own word. Then, the uninitiated started making the “Based? Based on what?” joke, completely oblivious of the original meaning.
