Now I feel bad that perhaps her best friend kept calling her “old man”.

Touché.

Not a problem for the FRC, and 2023-W20 compares just fine with 2024-W20. Same part of the year, and the weekend is in the same spot.

If that were true, intercalary months shouldn’t have been necessary.

Months are the craziest, weirdest, stupidest measure humanity has used for this long. ISO8601 week dates make more sense, or even the French Revolutionary Calendar. Humans organize all of society by weeks, not by months. Compare last January to next January, or last February to next February for metrics. Do they have the same number of weekdays vs weekend days? Even if they do, do they happen at the same point in the month so you can compare the flow of the month? Now compare two weeks, and that’s apples to apples. Group by weeks instead of months and your irregular, bumpy graph smooths right out. We only hang on to Gregorian months out of inertia.

I wouldn’t even notice it as unusual, even though it isn’t my usual order. It could vary by region or profession, or maybe it’s just you that notices it this acutely. In plain English emails and other narrative text, I always use “Sat Aug 31” (adding the year only when ambiguous), which is short but complete, and includes the day of the week, which is much more important to humans than the month anyway.

That’s a good punch-up. I’m in!

Even with that, the scariest part of the Borg originally was that they were just this undifferentiated swarm.

SNW is so good I’d sooner toss TOS if forced to choose (which I’m not). The musical episode is vastly better than Turnabout: Intruder.

And Ctrl + Insert.

It can be more convenient with Dvorak.

It’s obviously all performative nonsense at this point.

If moral acts were determined by intent rather than by impact, the road to hell wouldn’t be so thoroughly paved.

As I said earlier, good luck, I wish you well.

And you continue to employ the fallacy fallacy.

I think asking what you personally risk from a Trump vs Biden presidency speaks to whether your insufferable self-righteousness is gambling with other people’s lives at no cost to you.

Be sure and post the screenshot.

That would be foolish, as I’ve never bet wrong.

It’s a good site to collect the money of delusional right-wing crazies. I collected $500 in 2020.

No, I’m sorry, that’s dangerously naïve, and a self-serving, solipsistic moral panic. How old are you?

If we used RCV or anything better that winner-take-all, that would be different, or if we had a parliamentary system. But we don’t.

Explain and distinguish both, then. I genuinely don’t see it.

I’m putting your own words in your mouth. I’m sorry you refuse to accept that splitting opponents votes works. Good luck.
