So this is why there is a “Block user” option. Thanks for clearing that up

drolex ,

I thought it had to be either a big number, or a small number. So, yeah.

drolex ,

I’ll get there eventually

Wow, the hubris is real. Ever heard of impostor’s syndrome? Because you obviously don’t suffer from it

drolex ,

He’s the messiah! Lisan al-Ghaib!

Currency to buy what? To buy gold of course, which was a famous Aztec staple. They were very fond of it. Never heard the expressions “I hunger for gold”, “as delicious as a gold ingot”, “this cake must be made of gold”? All proofs of the sacred place of gold in the Aztec kitchen. It is known, look it up on YouTube.

Congratulations to Gwyneth Paltrow and Benedict Cumberbatch for their baby

Lei Feng, the epitome of temperance? He was very fond of long and hard poles, or so I’ve heard.

(And I like how everything is slightly wrong in this meme. Too bad no one was purged in this list)

drolex ,

I wonder how failure is defined (maybe it’s in the article). Because SW companies don’t really care about making SW work, the only measure of success is selling SW teams to bullshit customers for as long as possible.

drolex ,

That doesn’t explain the gay frogs, at all.

drolex ,

Is an appeal after a jury trial possible? I thought i had heard it was final?

They will rip your dick out, Jamie send that video of jacked hairless chimps

drolex ,

Lol your 12! Get in your grave grandpa

drolex ,

Very normal and rational reaction to Bibi’s hateful drivel. I prescribe you nothing, come back to my office when you’re in the all caps, three exclamation marks stage.

drolex ,

Given the respective numbers of professional book writers and billionaires, I doubt it very much.

drolex ,

Frankly the whole article is just bizarrely defining metrics to fit the narrative.

drolex ,

Just one then, there are 43 billionaires in France (…wikipedia.org/…/List_of_French_billionaires_by_n…).

And there are around 40 people in the French Academy alone. That’s only a small part of French writers.

And 43 billionaires is a rather big number. Compared to Pakistan or Colombia where the comparison would be even more skewed.

drolex ,

👍

drolex ,

You’re really getting out of your way to miss my point. The number of professional writers is some orders of magnitude bigger than the number of billionaires, so much so that taking some arbitrary subset of writers of approximately the same size is easily done.

Another counter example (because I’m really nice like that): some contemporary French writers, just from memory:

  • Annie Ernaux
  • JMG Le Clezio
  • Amélie Nothomb
  • Michel Houellebecq
  • Erik Orsenna
  • Virginie Despentes
  • Patrick Modiano
  • Christine Angot
  • Jean Echenoz
  • Sylvain Tesson
  • Marie Ndiaye
  • Virginie Grimaldi
  • Marc Levy
  • Alain Finkielkraut
  • Michel Onfray
  • Mélissa da Costa
  • Andrei Making
  • François Cheng
  • JC Rufin

Yes I know, it’s not 43, but I could easily go to my local bookshop and find 180 more, and again 43 billionaires is a lot for 70 million inhabitants. In any case the number of 500 writers in the article is laughable.

But that’s not the main point. What gets on my nerves is that the author of the article is cherry picking facts to entertain an idea. I could deliberately try something like “but you know there are more astronauts than true painters” and refute everything opposed to this with No true Scotsman fallacies.

The article proves absolutely nothing and the author makes a mess of logical thinking, while managing to blur what the wider perspective is supposed to be.

drolex ,

Whaaa? 🤯

drolex ,

Does my comment feel strange? Is it confusing? ARE YOU A MORON?

drolex ,

Well, you have to admit they are by far the best feature of bing

drolex ,

Don’t tread on me! Please. If that’s the same to you, I’d rather be left alone. Thank you.

drolex ,

Truly, the flesh is weak, if you value her mortal and imperfect form above the pure essence of theory.

Alas, I am concerned about the future of humanity.

drolex ,

Hoping you will be happy forever!

drolex ,

?? It’s correct, what’s the issue here?

drolex ,

Ah OK, good point. I tend to forget that ‘good enough’ is not what other people might want in their measurements precision

drolex ,

I’ve been called “heterosexual white male”, won’t Musky do anything about that? I’m literally crying, we’re the most attacked majority, life is unbearable for us!

drolex ,

The H word?

drolex ,

Counterpoint: Riemann makes sense. Lebesgue makes no sense. See my PhD dissertation “Why Lebesgue integrals are laughable and France should be annexed by Luxembourg”

drolex ,

Turnip rape? I’ll stop at radish consensual love, thanks.

drolex ,

Yes, and Alain Delon on the left. Not sure she was completely faithful, but I think Jagger didn’t care.

drolex ,

I will probably use these images in a corporate PowerPoint. I’m not asking for your permission, I’m warning you. Sorry, it’s too good. (I will credit you as a CTO of some company ending in -SYS or - LEA if you want)

drolex ,

Yeah I won’t do that. Can’t go through the pain of showing them my account name. ‘Dad why are there all these x at the beginning and the end of your ridiculous name?’

drolex ,

Anti-war crimes -> Pro-Palestine -> Antisemitic

I think I’ve got it in two!

drolex ,

Well, folders do look like 2 slices of cardboard with paper inside, a bit like a paperburger. And judges flip them, yes. These are UNDENIABLE FACTS!

drolex ,

You know, I’m something of a pope myself

Archaeologists in 2000 years will be puzzled again. “Plastic dodecahedra found near broken mantelpieces, what could it be used for? Anyway I made one out of technetium for my grandma”

drolex ,

Sample size = 1. Temporal occurrences = 1. Spatial occurrences = 1.

Absolute certainty

drolex ,

You sure about those equations? My background in Physics tells me that 1= π = (speed of light) / (not quite speed of light) [without unit]

drolex ,

I don’t know, I passed the “rounding to the next order of magnitude because it’s good enough and nobody will notice” class with flying colours

I got 1000%, or something close

drolex ,

It should be obvious since common sense tells that sponge beats gun and snake beats air
