I dismissed your last response. It was drivel. And you are an idiot.

You can say twice as smart, right?

See, you still don’t get it. If the language term holds no meaning, then why do we all know that it means that the two values are 5k and 20k respectively?

And lots of people hate it when people like get your point across by acting like an annoying douchebag.

So you’re objecting to using “x times shorter”. Why? What else does it mean?

if “4 times longer” means you multiply by 4, then “4 times shorter” means you divide by 4.

As a math major and a lawyer (read: grammar pedant), this opinion is invalid. If something can be 4 times longer it can certainly be 4 times shorter. There is no usage rule (be it AP stylehandbook, Strunk, Brian Garner) that dictates otherwise.

This is the part where I link the story of the republican lawmaker who advanced that argument being restricted from interacting with female colleagues “for his own safety”

Is it safe to assume that they pay off auto shops to pass inspections?

Masturbation sounds like a great remediation treatment on paper. In reality, that ain’t gonna happen. An aching, tender, and half-flaccid penis attached to a pair of balls that throb in agony at the slightest touch are NOT conducive to rubbing one out.

I don’t think that “pedantic” quite covers my reply here, but it’s similar enough. I read her comment:

the fact that she needs tampons means she’s ready to have babies which means she’s ready to have sex which means he’s going to be forced to think long and hard about her vagina.

I’m male, so I can’t join you in shedding my own menstrual blood on the capitol steps, but since band-aids are also taxed in Utah, i will join you by removing bandages from open wounds and bleeding out regular old arterial blood, in protest of the insensitive, senseless tax on first aid supplies! After all, after the…

So where is the methodology to this analysis which normalizes the percentages of those arrested (broken down by race) against the percentages of those committing the crime (broken down by race) and/or those observed committing the crime even released without charge?

I agree, in the long-shot and with my poor vision she’s a spitting image of ScarJo.

No, thank god, though not for lack of trying. I thought it would work for some program management things, but I went back to Excel because Access didn’t fit what we were trying to do. And I didn’t like that either! :)

So at the point I’m posting this, there are already 35 responses to Mindy’s comment, and absolutely zero of them are negative. Not only is there a distinct lack of fundies or other nutballs accusing her of sin and evil while trying to “help” her find The Truth, there aren’t even any trolls pretending to bash her, nor…

They carry their weight terribley low in the chassis due to engine position, which makes slow speeds very difficult easy and stable on them due to the low center of gravity.

Imagine what would happen if it were to happen in any other western country. The police officer would be jailed promoted. In a very public ceremony.
