Shit, just say f-stab and enjoy someone "correcting" you, only to smile and continue to say it that way.

It's why my favorite way to troll the usual "why isn't everyone on metric" goombahs is to tell them they're just too lazy and/or dumb to do math with fractions.

It isn't actually harder. At all. People just think it is because them funny / signs is different from regular math. So they get put off by it even if they're actually good at it because they've built the idea of hating fractions even though it's a very intuitive thing.

You take a string, fold it in half, you've got a fraction in front of you. The rest follows from that basic principle. But when you put it on paper, the only thing that isn't obvious is dividing fractions. Even then, you could figure it out on your own with a bit of thought.

Unfortunately, you jam a bunch of kids in a room and make them do boring things, often being taught by someone that isn't actually good at math, and may have no desire to teach math in the first place, and you get droves of kids that hate math. Someone that likes math, and has spent time playing with it, they'll have a way of translating it into different terms. Instead, you go by the book regardless of if the book works for kids of a given age.

Fractions are just as easy as decimal. You can't imagine how many kids struggle with division in decimals, or even just keeping the number line in mind when dealing with them.

The one belt benefit decimal has over fractions is the ability to write things out by line and do most problems (other than division) in a simple box. That goes away once you're dividing though. Dividing fractions is easier for some.

Also, fractions are easier to estimate with. You can almost always guesstimate what half of a thing will be, so you can almost always keep going until the fraction is too small visually to detect. Eyeballing a tenth of something is not as easy for most people.

Besides, it's good for your brain. It's like a muscle in that regard. If you don't use it, it gets flabby. Flabby brains lead to shitty thinking.

Only reason I'd say no is that it looks like shit sauce and shit crust. I'd still try it, but it wouldn't be a good pizza in the first place, so I wouldn't consider it to be a definitive example of what kiwi on pizza would be.

Nah, this is living right.

Dude is wearing comfortable shoes that have one functional flaw: they're rubber and they chafe.

Socks= foot bliss in crocs, assuming the right size.

The tracker is a sign that someone fucked up, yeah. But it means they didn't fuck up so bad that they need to be away from the rest of us. Everybody fucks up, we just don't all get caught.

I mean, that isn't some kind of bad thing. Appeals courts are there to catch bad prosecution. They're supposed to protect citizens from the system failing to work as intended.

Now, the fact that it's a rich fuck that can afford attorneys to do the work to make the appeal happen and most people couldn't sucks. That's a major flaw of the system, that throwing money at it means you're gong to end up with unbalanced outcomes, but unless the decision handed down was not based in fact, a successful appeal is a good thing.

Fuck Weinstein, but this isn't about him in specific.

Some bitch nugget stole my favorite silly insult. What a fucking bitch nugget.

Also, if you ever want to make your kid's eyes roll out of their head, stomp their ass in a game, and tell them you'll bang their mom/dad.

The meme is funny :)

That being said, the only UK foods I've had were made by expats here in the states. None of it was bland, with the exception of breakfast beans, "because they're meant to be mild to start your day" as I was told by a lovely liverpudlian.

She would do fish and chips, and the batter was well seasoned. Not heavily seasoned, but some pepper, a little paprika, and a bit of onion powder to give it some aromatic kick. Well balanced, and imo, as good as any of the southern fried fish recipes I've had.

The chips were obviously just salted and vinegar used per person.

But when we did pot luck at work, she would bring in what she called "good english food", which included some curry a few times.

But her shepherd's pie? Holy hell, that was some great stuff. She said it was really cottage pie because it was beef usually. But it had the usual pepper, onion, garlic, and herbs.

And the other expats I ate with were similar. Maybe different amounts of a given herb or spice, but it was in there.

I think the UK food thing is a meme in itself, and likely arose the way things usually do, with the majority of cooks just being bad cooks, rather than representative of a cuisine or the way things are done properly in that country.

Legit though, nobody alive today had anything to do with English becoming the trade language. It used to be French, but that went away and English filled in.

Any country where English is the primary language is going to have less people needing a second language for anything other than the general benefits it brings, which aren't truly necessary.

It isn't like everyone, everywhere speaks English on top of their first language, nor does everyone speak multiple languages. They do just fine with the dominant language of their country, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Also, Australians don't speak English. They speak Cunt :)
