  • Seat #7

    I could probably find some kind of entertainment-value by talking to Hulk Hogan about “wrestling” or his career. The turtle will probably just sleep, or remain frozen in a transient-stroke-like state. Seems like the easiest.

    In reality, it wouldn’t really matter which seat I chose. I always go right tf to sleep on planes; because no, I don’t want to talk with you, stranger

    Though… maybe not next to Vance. I don’t want him getting any weird ideas about my seat, if I were to get up to use the bathroom

    perfectionist mindset - as one is writing,

    I think an “M-Dash (perfectionist mindest— as one is writing,)” would be more appropriate than an “N-Dash” in your statement. No ‘nested’ parentheses needed (unless you’re looking to add non-essential (though insightful) info to your sentence); but the type of… “PAUSE” makes all the difference

    Incomprehension of fraction to decimal conversion is why 90% of people who say they are bad at math, say they are bad at math

    I feel called out. I was in high-school Calculus (11th grade) before I “truly” understood fractions. Like, I honestly somehow managed to make it to Calculus without knowing how to add and subtract fractions without a calculator. Thought I was dumb in math until 9th grade algebra, and didn’t start becoming a bit of a math nerd until Calculus

    a haughty, cackling asshole ignoring a woman’s expertise

    Boy howdy, that’s a spot-on description. Never listened to him because I expected it to be trash; but I didn’t realize the situation was so dire

    Motherfucker leans into sensationalism and shock-value, because he’ll be forgotten as soon as he shuts the fuck up—and of course he won’t have any useful skills to hold a job with real value afterward. Fucking cowardly shits, afraid to work on something of substance when the fame/infamy runs dry

    So yeah, it indeed made my blood boil a little lol. Wish I could say it was mostly pity for him being so… dumb? But nah, that’s a person acting like garbage and should be treated as such (until proven otherwise)
