You’ve never been that poor?

I mean, there’s quite a few calculus problems that you can do without calculus. Pretty much 80% of the optimization problems/max’s and minimums in a typical Calc 1 class can be done if you remember that -b/2a is the vertex of a quadratic.

Which you’d think would need some sort of permit or approval process? But it looks like you can just do whatever you want if you have the $$$

I’m absolutely sick of them. I get home from work at dick o’clock and always have to make sure there’s not one lying down in the middle of my parking spot.

My mother has somehow never held down an actual full time job, but has a house.

I have routinely worked 60, 80, 100 hour weeks much of my life. I sleep on the floor in a studio apartment.

Well yeah, of course, his friend Jerry Trivers told him that because their mutual friend Jeffrey Epstein paid him to.

If dealing with comments on line drives young men to the alt right, I can’t imagine what they’d do if they lived my life.

Cry more when you are working 80 hours a week because you have to leave you state because they are about to revoke your drivers license for being trans. Or maybe help people in that situation instead of whining.

You have to be friends with the governor to be let out.

They even brought her chick fil a.

accusing every white person you see of being horribly racist

Did you take some funny medication and read an entirely different post?

Kinda amazing that feeling accused of racism on the internet drives white men to justify being racist. Imagine what you’d be driven to do if you’d ever been denied a job or had the shit beaten out of you by a cop because of your ethnicity.

I guess when you aren’t used to systemic persecution, people being a little mean to you on the internet feels like a threat. A new experience for you to be characterized based on your race and gender- the real world is completely designed for you, but sometimes people on the internet have the gaul to point that out!

It’s a jail that regularly kills people.

They say second death this year in the article, but if you talk to homeless folks, the trick is to kick you out before you die so it doesn’t count.

Do you realize that right now, being a white man protects you. This means that you have an obligation to stand up for others.

Any straight cis white man who does not disavow this regime and doesn’t do their damnedest to protect POC and LGBT is a fellow traveler. Unlike your trans and black friends, you aren’t going to get mowed down in the streets by cops. You have to use the privilege of safety, the privilege of being allowed to be who you are and listened to, to fight for others.

Well, guess what they do to them in custody.

Are they going to shut down university biology departments that say sex and gender are different?

Yes.

Possibly Apis because the context of the story is the Israelites waiting for Moses to come down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments, just after their escape from Egypt, but worshipping bulls was a huge thing in the entire Fertile Crescent area so it could have been anything. Bulls are kinda a big deal at the time period - you see lamassu with human heads and bull bodies guarding lots of temples and palaces in Mesopotamia.

Moses is so pissed about the golden calf because he was literally just talking to god. He leaves them alone after getting them out of Egypt and they immediately get into polytheism.

The actual early Israelite religion was polytheistic, had temple prostitutes, burned cannabis for ritual purpose, and very likely had child sacrifice - probably of the first born.

Could include the bite marks from the teenager he orally raped.

All the jobs are in the field of education.

Somehow, I’ve mastered the art of doing calculus on 5 hours of sleep!kk

Really it’s like 3.5 with the side gigs too.

I’d probably be ripping my hair out and back inpatient if it weren’t for one job ending in a couple of weeks and another slowing down substantially around the same time.

I don’t sleep much until I get sick and have to take off from one of the jobs for a “catch up” day. I drink three or four Red Bulls a day, plus some Diet Coke to top off.

I was hoping to have enough to move states by the end of the summer, but it turns out I’ll probably still not have enough. Very difficult to rebuild when you get divorced from a vindictive billionaire.

Eh? My Honda Civic just had to have its struts replaced, and that was a $1000 expense which was difficult to cope with and would have been impossible were I not working three different jobs. If I wanted working AC, which I have never had in the vehicle, I’d need to spend like ~2k every year because the model has a defective condenser (and in Trump’s America, warranties are suggestions)

At some point you have to recognize that many Americans cannot afford any vehicle. Unfortunately the U.S. is not designed for people who don’t have vehicles.

While my car was in the shop yesterday, I looked at my options for getting to work, which is about seven miles from my house. There was a bus route, which would have taken at least a full hour compared to my usual 15 minute drive, and there was Uber/lyft, which would have cost me about a third of the money I’d make at work.

If god forbid, something happened to my car, I’d have to take a loan out for something I could not afford, because I have to be able to get to work to survive and pay for the damn car!

You can buy tisanes/tea with marshmallow root in it that’s good for sore throats!

Oh there’s more:

I guess the Simpsons is public domain.

It just gives me the vibes of what happened to Johnathan Joss - the King of the Hill actor who was murdered. He was married to a trans men, and they had received homophobic harassment which the cops had refused to do anything about. The murder wasn’t “about” him being married to a trans man, but you can’t separate it.

I wonder if this is a similar situation. Cops do not take trans men seriously.

For those wondering why this is “lesbian” paper - many trans men have connection/ with the lesbian community. We often spend some time identifying as lesbians because if it’s the community we might have come of age in. It’s not something i really identify win, but it’s not that unusual.
