“Your body - your choice” refers to the basic human right that you’re your own master and no one else can own/control you.

It’s especially used in the discussion about whether abortion should be legal or not, where it refers to the fact that the fetus in a pregnant person is indeed part of that person, and they are allowed to do what they want with their own body (e.g. abortion).

The post mentions the opposite, “your body, our choice” which refers to the anti-abortion movement where people, often due to religious reasons, think they should have control over a pregnant person’s body, rather than the pregnant person themself.

THERE AREN’T COUGARS IN GARDENS! (It’s a reference, let’s see if someone gets it)

Also I’m amazed by how people don’t seem to understand what half-life is. It’s not the time it takes for an atom to decay. It’s the time it takes for half of the atoms to decay, meaning there will be some U-238 that decay into Ra-226 in just a couple of seconds.

So even if the Earth was created 4000 years ago with uranium but not lead (for some weird reason), some of that lead would have decayed into lead by now.

She holds the title International Master, so I guess OP thought that’s the same as World Champion? But she’s currently ranked 6365th of active players.

Also in all other languages where I know how to say the date it’s some form of 5th (day of) June. While it is possible to have it the other way around it’s really only found in old writings (June’s 5th day).

Oh yes, it’s the legendary kurkkumopo! If you know, you know.

I’m also confused by this 473 ml pint, is that some American thing? I always thought pints were 568 ml… as in pint of beer.

Probably since it’s their equivalent of the latin e? In my understanding the Russian cyrillic e is pronounced “ye”, so э is closer to the latin e.

Note: I don’t speak Russian so anyone with more knowledge feel free to correct me.

Also: This is for Russian cyrillic, I believe in Ukrainian cyrillic for instance, it’s the other way around, so e is e and э is ye.

What? 4k is literally a resolution, usually 3840x2160 or something around that. 1080p is another resolution, usually 1920x1080. These are never comparable.

The G in 5G stands for generation. This has nothing to do with quality or speed, but it sets an upper limit. You can have 5G that is absolute shit or 5G which is state of the art fastest speed available (until 6G comes out).

Read the undertext by OP, they completely made up all the data to make a joke about age verification in some US states to access porn.

Welp, there goes my job :(

It would have cost you nothing to not write this comment…

Is this an evolution of the famous KURKKUMOPO!?

“The great London underground, established 1043 CE.”

I don’t quite agree with this. It seems like you’re focusing on the worst types in each scenario.

Competitive debates aren’t (in my opinion) debates at all. They’re rhetorical competitions where you need to know how to talk convincingly/manipulatively, but don’t necessarily need to know anything about debating.

Political debates come in all shapes and forms, but of course the ones that will be focused on and remembered are there worst examples that seem the most silly.

You’re kind of right about internet debates. Especially the “scoring system” can be very biased depending on the community, but if you ignore the scores there can still be valid points to be found in some debates. Of course, being the internet, there will also be overwhelming amounts of spam/trolls that can be hard to ignore.

Conversation is a broader term that includes debates. Debates are conversations, but not all conversations are debates. The issue with the word debate is that it sometimes gets misused (like competitive debate) which makes its meaning a bit unclear. Although all of this is just my opinion, so take it with a huge scoop of salt.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but I don’t think they “just moved in”. They’ve lived there for a long time as well, but the former country of Palestine was quite divided ethnically, and that caused issues due to extremists (on both sides).

The purpose of splitting Palestine was to get two countries that were at least less divided ethnically, but due to where people lived Israel still remained quite evenly divided between muslims and jews whereas the new Palestine was close to 100% muslims.

Countries have been split all over the world before in somewhat similar manners without causing as big conflicts, showing that this could’ve been done in a peaceful manner. What went wrong here? I don’t know.

Chaotic neutral, then in the fridge. Quick and easy, stays fresh.
