Perhaps that’s because it’s what you know best and are used to. Volumetric measurements of anything that doesn’t have a fixed density make no sense to me. What the hell is one cup of broccoli? Even a cup of flour can have wildly different ammounts of flour. My least favorite though is butter, how the hell am I supposed to measure out 3 tablespoons of butter? Melt it all on the stove and pour out what I need? I find it incredibly unintuitive.

You have misunderstood what I wrote. I said nothing about an employee purchasing a flag, I said that they would not be permitted to raise one, as they are a resource that is paid for by the act.
I think it’s “asinine and childish” to be so rude, especially when it’s you that has made the mistake.
Right, but the public employee is being paid for by the funds that are covered by the act. Therefore if an employee raises the flag, funds are being used to display a non-state flag.
Edit: To be clear, I have not suggested that an employee of the state wouldn’t be allowed to purchase a flag. The way I read the act, an employee would not be allowed to raise a flag because they themselves are a resource paid for by the act.
I would think that the “or display” part prohibits a public employee from raising the flag.
Thanks for the reply! I think I’m going to pull the trigger on the white one as well. Can’t wait!
Which color did you get, and how do you like it? I’m really leaning towards this option.
Yeah I’m getting the sense that it’ll be a good choice, I just think they’re hideous.
Will do, thanks!
What if I want to use my absolute freedom to oppress someone else? What if I use my absolute freedom to build a structure that blocks the view of the mountains from my neighbors, who love the view? Whose freedom should get oppressed to solve that?
Honest question, not trying to be a contrarian.
I think it’s unfortunate that you’re being so hostile. It was an interesting point and very good sources that you brought to the discussion. But you’ve decided to play the "you’re all ‘autists’ " card.
I disagree. The connotation and literal meaning of the phrase “doing better than”, combined with the comment on social circles indicates that they’re trying to suggest the poor are somehow doing well, whatever that means.
That’s how I read it, anyway. And I think that’s why they’re getting down voted as well.
I think the wording in your original comment is pretty misguided. Nowhere does it say the poor are “doing better than” the wealthy. They just had the strongest short-term wage growth since covid. This does not equate to prosperity. Perhaps it is you that has the restrictive social circle.

This is cultural. Some cultures really do not care about nudity the way others do
What the hell are you talking about hahaha
Sometimes I’m astonished by people’s inability to put together coherent thoughts. I think it it comes from a complete lack of self awareness, but I’m unsure. Working theory.
This is some really high quality reading and critical thinking. I appreciate your write up as well as your identification of and attention to nuance.
Not using Debian because gnome seems silly to me. Why not just install plasma if that’s what you want?
I brought up broccoli specifically because I recently wanted to know the nutrition facts of broccoli, and the initial google results were for 1 cup, and not 100g as is standard in I guess everywhere that uses metric. I have absolutely no idea how much broccoli that is, not only because I’m not used to it, but the dimensions of the cup and how finely chopped the broccoli is matter quite a lot in terms of how much actual broccoli we’re talking about. It’s just so ambiguous.
