Looks like Baron Trump to me

I think transgender ideology is “we’re human”.

It’s fucking wild that the Right can be opposed to human rights and anti-fascism and millions of people are somehow still gaslit in believing they’re the good guys.

I gotta say, you make some fair points.

It’s a lot of memorization that I simply haven’t done and won’t ever have to do.

The fraction reduction doesn’t help intuitive thought. If imperial operated on ‘significant digits’ and marked any set or document with a 64th always as 64ths, as in 16/64ths, I’d be more on board.

We just need to replace out base 10 system of counting with base 12 and we’d get the best of both worlds!

Not only that, but your system, by virtue of being decimal, inherits all the shortcomings of our quite flawed numbering system. You can’t divide something by the second smallest prime number without breaking out repeating decimals.

What’s more 0.203 cm or 0.291 cm? How about 3/8" or 19/64"?

How far is 1/3 of a mile? 1/3 km is 333m. How about 1/9? 1/9 km is 111m How long is 10 x 5/16"? 10 x 3.1cm is 31cm

Yeah, a foot breaks down easy in whole inches with many factors, but that’s about it

While I appreciate calling out predatory and unethical business practices, can someone explain why “Darrow bought the idea for a low price and no royalty rights” is different than “Magie sold for a low price and no royalty rights”?

By all means, if there’s a story about unethical coercion or misleading (that’s the foundation of capitalism after all), I’d like to hear more about it. But if Magie didn’t care enough about the idea and sold it for a quick buck to a capitalist to do with it what they would, I gotta say, I can’t really blame Darrow for buying something they thought had value that Magie didn’t think had value.

Reading Magie’s wikipedia page suggests Darrow ripped it off, despite several patents, and her game, The Landlords Game, being published by another game company, and he sold it to Parker Brothers (who had already published her games before).

Sounds more like Darrow stole the idea and Parker Brothers negligently (or willfully) disregarded patents because they were big enough to get away with it.
