They’re just yelling for joy at the light turning green
Then it wouldn’t be reasonable to assume the US would collapse right at the average (mean) though. If the majority of empires collapsed at the same age (the mode) it would be different, but the mean tells you very little about when any particular empire will collapse.
The mean number of children per household is a decimal, that doesn’t mean any households have partial children.
Computer speak is disturbingly similar to text message speak

The most recent Zefrank video is a great example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spuO7OpS6zw

Arguably that’s because they were basically conquered and made a vassal of the country that dropped bombs on them.
The cool thing about this is you can just arbitrarily pick which part of the cycle you consider the “start” of the conflict in case you want to selectively accuse one side of being the aggressor.
Reading it back I can see how I might have come off as arguing with the OP. I had just intended to add some context in general around why “straight pride” isn’t a generally accepted thing but gay pride is, because whenever this comes up you usually get at least one person asking "what, so we’re supposed to be ashamed of being straight now? That’s just discrimination in reverse!”
“Straight pride” isn’t a thing. It’s purely a reactionary response to gay pride.
The point of gay pride is for gay people to show that they’re not afraid to be who they are in the face of systematic discrimination. It is specifically countering the culture of gay shame that had been the norm in the past. Straight people are already the overwhelming majority and have never been oppressed for their sexual orientation. There’s was never any shame associated with it so it makes no sense to proclaim that you’re “proud” to be straight.
It’s like someone who finished a marathon expressing their pride for their accomplishment, and some loser who has to make everything about themselves says “well I sat on my ass all day and I deserve to be proud of that too!”
The issue is not that it’s not okay to be proud of being straight, you’re welcome to feel pride all you want. The issue is when you but into someone else’s moment and make it about yourself.

The most desperate US citizen is still far more privileged than the people overseas they were sent to murder.

Interesting how it’s southern states at the top eh?
Can’t have anything to do with the fact that the US legally allows prisoner slavery right?
Winder what the race ratio of the prison population is.
This is the country routinely accusing other countries of having “prison camps.”

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced this kind of confusion in Java but that’s probably because they intentionally restricted the syntax so there’s no ambiguity.

Gonna guess all the phone manufacturers will coincidentally determine that waterproofing is a feature desperately needed by the European market on all tiers.
Also won’t affect iPhones since they’re already all “waterproof.”

Shit title and really highlights Bloomberg’s western supremacist views. Unknown to who? Clearly tons of people know about it if it took over Africa.
They have different brands than us because they’re a completely different region and market? Nope, never heard of it so it must be unknown.
