why? this is all the results of men being in power, including the odd thing that favors women sometimes, like custody battles being usually easier for women. it comes from the patriarchal view that looking after children is the mother’s job and the father barely needs to have anything to do with it.
same here: men are stronger and women are weaker, not to mention women shouldn’t be working to begin with but since they do they might as well retire early.
i shouldn’t be surprised that so many people on lemmy haven’t seen women IRL but Jesus Christ… touch grass, people.
it is though. same with women getting more lenient sentences for the same crimes, custody inequality, etc.
to be fair, there’s no such thing as a fish…
well I’m proud of you, though i don’t really care. you asked what they were saying and I said what it means. that’s the extent of my involvement in this.
he’s saying you’ve never seen a pair
actually ads probably won’t work on you because you don’t have basic reading comprehension
yeah ads famously criticize the product and talk about how dangerous it is
if you think it doesn’t work on you, it’s more likely to work on you. if it didn’t work the world would be a much better place, but unfortunately they definitely work.
but i agree it’s stupid especially as a business model and it shouldn’t exist.
alarm bells?
wait they didn’t know he was old before this debate?
no, i know and understand what you mean. as i said in my original comment; it’s not intuitive. but if everything in life were intuitive there wouldn’t be mind blowing discoveries and revelations… and what kind of sad life is that?
honestly that seems to be the only argument from the people who say it’s not equal. at least you’re honest about it.
by the way I’m not a mathematically adept person. I’m interested in math but i only understand the simpler things. which is fine. but i don’t go around arguing with people about advanced mathematics because I personally don’t get it.
the only reason I’m very confident about this issue is that you can see it’s equal with middle- or high-school level math, and that’s somehow still too much for people who are too confident about there being a magical, infinitely small number between 0.999… and 1.
you said 1/3 ≠ 0.333… which is false. it is exactly equal. there’s no flaw; it’s a restriction in notation that is not unique to the decimal system. there’s no “conflict with reality”, whatever that means. this just sounds like not being able to wrap your head around the concept. but that doesn’t make it a flaw.
is that val kilmer
yeah that’s because the little ones mean “hii” and the big ones mean “HELLO???!!”
nice try DoD
fair enough, but i think the confusion for that commenter comes from a misunderstanding of the definition of the mathematical concept rather than the meaning of the English word. they just think irrational numbers are those that have infinite decimal digits, which is not the definition.
ive always hated Dropbox so much. it’s terrible with syncing as well.
