But I’m genuinely curious what that is. Doesn’t look like a city manhole cover, which would have some identifying markings on it.

I think Hanlon’s razor applies in this case

It felt so creepy when I saw the picture and got a flashback of dreaming that bathroom. It got doubly creepy when I found a comment about it already. But I’m not American.

For French it’s I

It shows all downvotes first, then all upvotes.

No, the kid’s answer is not “just as right”, it is the correct and expected answer. The teacher’s answer is wrong and proof the teacher doesn’t understand the question. The entire point of the question is understanding that fractions of a whole are relative to that whole and you can’t directly compare fractions from different wholes like that. 5/6 > 4/6 doesn’t mean Luis ate more pizza than Marty, it means Luis ate a larger share of his pizza than Marty ate out of his own.

You’re very optimistic.

he did a few awful things in this state of terror(setting fire to the psychiatric hospital twice, push a old lady in front of a bus -she was not hurt as the bus was imaginary,too-, stabbing a kindergarten teacher in front of her class)

Scale this up for the richest man on earth and I dread what can happen.

Must be a small desk to only fit a draw. Larger ones can fit drawer. Industrial sized ones fit drawest.

we should stay in and watch a movie and snuggle

That’s not small talk, that’s planning what to do today. You can open the same conversation with “hey, what do you want to do today?”

you’ve found out what their opinion on free will and almost every other deep conversation you could have with them in the first few years

I met my wife when we were 16-17. We are in our 40s now. It’s reasonable to expect that our opinions on such subjects have changed since then.

But there are plenty of subjects to talk about. How is the current environment in the US going to impact our kids’ lives going forward? Even if we know each other’s general perspectives on life, the universe, and everything, that doesn’t mean we can also predict opinions on complex scenarios and situations.

talking about things with very low impact or consequences

Isn’t that the definition of small talk?

The free will question is much closer to the conversations I was having with my wife before we got married. We were talking for hours every day, I can’t imagine spending hours on small talk.

They were behind white genocide in South Africa

If the purge were real there would be a whole industry around purge-proofing homes. Also rental purge-proof shelters.

Paradox of tolerance

During the communist regime in Romania there was a ban on abortion and the state encouraged people to have lots of kids (sound familiar?). This lead to A LOT of kids in orphanages and not enough resources to properly care for them. Conditions were atrocious, to say the least.

But, that lead to a lot of research data by following the lives of kids who got adopted from those orphanages. It was determined that 4 month old was the cut-off point from where kids can still recover from traumatic experiences. Kids adopted younger than that did fine, but kids adopted after that age were affected for the rest of their lives. The fact that they didn’t actually remember things consciously did not matter.

But B is true
