  • The US has so many different cultures spread across such a huge (YUGE) land area that it is very difficult to unite the country. It’s also why half the country complains about secession but the half changes between South and Midwest.

    I had no idea we had a cricket team, but I am not surprised that there is. What surprises me is that l, while I don’t know a lot about cricket, I do know that Pakistan is world class and fucking good - and they lost to Americans who don’t even have a national team.

    It’s clearly a big deal and one worth celebrating. Maybe this will help cricket bloom in America?












  • I dunno. Math asks me to just accept it’s normal to have 60 watermelons and is trying move bulk orders of melons on a regular car. The goal is to figure out the problem and not accept that the person who is a wholesale watermelon dealer in denial is commiting tax evasion.

    Or to discover that the melon seller has a regular job in ag and gets a bunch of melons on the side from the field and sells the harvest at cost to make up the part of their paycheck that was paid in perishable food.

    Should we shame the seller for breaking the law or sympathize for being forced into that situation? People don’t have the energy to care; they just came for a maths question.


  • This is why I learned to use metaphors. People love hearing about something if it was similar to something else. And not some dumb simile shit, like actual comparative metaphors.

    “Why yes, the Internet IS a series of tubes. And the water pressure is bandwidth, the ability to move a volume of data in a set time. And each sprinkler is a user who may have individual restrictions but ultimately gets the same water as everyone else. That’s what the Internet is Grandpa.”
