Idk. I was in a highschool debate club a bit over a decade ago, and I was very good at the public forum event. Like, regularly in the top 32 for both the NFL and CFL national tournaments good. There were other people at the top of that ladder with me that made very effective use of the “pound the table” strategy, and how well it worked often boiled down to judge variance. People act that way in debates because it absolutely works on some viewers
F.D.C. Williard finally has some competition
If I’m ever staring at math, I’m absolutely not processing visual information while doing so. It’s more that like, I’m staring off into space and thinking and “math on a whiteboard” just happens to be the last thing I was looking at and my face is still pointed that way
Reasons I developed a “therapy is an expensive waste of my time” mindset after living in FL for a decade. I’m not paying $200 a visit for some pompous shitbag to tell me I’m sad because I don’t simp for Jesus
WE DONT BELIEVE IN KUTTING ANY RUNGES IN THIS HOUSE. YOURE GROUNDED UNTIL YOU PROVE OR DISPROVE THE EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO KNOTS!!
I’ve really enjoyed how much ATS incentivizes that optimization, given that years spent on a settlement count toward the blightstorm cycle. It’s really satisfying to figure out how to max rep as quickly as possible, especially with really hard modifiers like the “no orders” one
Wasn’t “protecting Russian language and culture” one of Putlers first justifications for the invasion? Like, I think it’s kinda fucked up to ban the language and culture, but then again my country has never been invaded by a neighboring war criminal who used “we’re just protecting our language and culture in your land” so my opinion isn’t nearly as valid as the opinion of people who are currently in that situation
I admittedly didn’t look too hard for that 121bil figure, your source seems much better than the “Google it and grab the first number I see” approach I used. I see 91.36B gross profit for 2022 in your source. That makes the 36,500,000 fine ~0.04% of their profits instead or the 0.03% I got at first, equivalent to a $20 fine on 50k profit. I think the rest of what I said is still valid with the new numbers. Thanks for keeping me honest!
100k/day (36.5 million anually) is ~0.03% of Meta’s 2022 profits (121 billion). That’s not a fine, it’s barely even a tax. If you make 50k/year profit and the government gave you a similar fine, they’d be taking $15 from you. That sounds more like bribe money for Norwegian politicians than a good faith attempt to protect their citizens.
I can’t remember which text it is, but it opens talking about a bunch of physicists studying stat mech then suck starting shotguns. Then it goes “and now it’s our turn to study statistical mechanics”
