Most of the math I do at work is related to compound interest. Of all the math I believe the general public should understand, the concept of how paying interest to others is a total screw would get my top vote.
I have a co-worker who took out a car loan last week at, wait for it, FIFTY THREE PERCENT INTEREST! No concept of what that was costing her. She could only see, “I can afford the monthly payment.”
(1 + r)^n and its friend 1/(1 + r)^n have been the two most important concepts in work and personal life that I’ve ever learned and applied.
What does it mean to flip toilet paper when replacing it? Like, putting it in the right way and wrong the next time? How does that make him right “either way”? At best, that makes him right 50% of the time. Sorry, but this just makes no fucking sense. Or am I missing something?
clearly op doesn’t think this behavior is right, as they’ve used it as an example of “the worst monster of all”, but the confusing part is why and if anyone would ever even do this. it would have worked better if the person picked one way or another; at least it would have been a statement on op’s part.
fyi the right way is to put it over, unless you have a cat, then you’re allowed to put it under without penalty or shame.
This always messed with me as a kid because for no reason I can come up with, xylophone made sense as the metal one and glockenspiel made sense as the wood one
It took more effort than it should to unlearn this
If you’re mad that the flag of Israel is depicted next to a Nazi logo, I would remind you that Israel is not the same thing as Jewish people, nor does it represent them. Israel is representative of a Zionist nation-state, and nothing more.
Both of the ideologies depicted in this meme are centered around genocidal ethnostates, so nothing being said is untrue.
Friendly reminder that conflating Jewish people with Israel is highly antisemitic.
Ethnostates should not exist. They will always result in the exclusion and harm of the excluded groups, as we are seeing now with the government of said ethnostate attempting to genocide Palestinians.
Both Nazis and the genocidal government of Israel are willing to enact violence to uphold their ethnostates, so in that regard, comparing Zionism (not Jewish people) to other ideologies that aim to build ethnostates is perfectly apt.
