Because laypeople don't know the difference, or that the word "hypothesis" even exists and just use "theory" instead.

It doesn't help that they don't understand the word "theory", and that the "theory of gravitation" or "theory of evolution" are not hypotheses...

Gravity is the effect. You can use thrust, spin, or a gravity well to create it.

You are wrong to assume gravity can only mean one of those.

Here's my biggest pet peeve (relevant to the scenario): the cancelling of bi-folk. There is a forced dichotomy of men being either hetero- or homosexual, with homoerotic choices somehow automatically negating all heteroerotic choices by framing them as perfidy (i.e. pretending to be heterosexual to pass in society).

Freddie Mercury was bi. NOT GAY. Bi. I have no issue with gays revering him. I do have issues with gays trying to deny his heteroromantic side (see Mary Austin).

Rant over.

Stop. Don't play games with me. I can only get so hard.

Bold assumption that our descendants will have the kind of general education that would result in what we think of "extra homework" for "history students". I imagine a future scholar to be like Kenneth from 30 Rock ::: spoiler spoiler (in his mortal form) :::

You know, making a eunuch out of someone used to be a legit punishment. Just saying, there's a lot of oppressors putting some unrealistic expectations on themselves ever siring a child... maybe it would be sensible to release them of these expectations by that way.

Ok, so we're skinheads now? Not complaining, just asking...

Holy shit, dude, you need some emergency human contact

This might be next 🤞

I CAN'T HEAR YOU, BROTHER! AROOOO!!!

FUCK

I just lost the game...

Yea, the time between (and overlap inbetween) the Irish being sold as slaves, having "Irish need not apply" signs on businesses, and the modern definition of the wHiTe rAcE is far too short for comfort.

Yea... I normally only lurk these posts to stock up on my PTB-list of communities and mods, but this here made me comment.

A ban because of downvotes? Seriously? Because of disaggreeing? And trying to mitigate it with "DM me and we talk"? Nah, fuck that mod and fuck that noise!

Yea, that's not a real name. You need to put in a real name, like Swaglynn.

When looking at the natural evolution of languages (use turns to convention turns to rules), one must remember that the misers that were poor probably didn't survive, procreate, and thrive as much as those who did.

Social darwinism, man. Assholes proliferate 🤷

So... your point is basically: "If someone threatens to punch you, you're not punched yet. Only if and when they punch you, will you actually have been punched. An idle threat means literally nothing."

If true, I disagree. A not-as-of-yet-realised threat is different in quality from the (perceived) lack of a threat, as the recipient now has to consider the eventual occurrence of said threat and would adjust their decisions accordingly.

Calling the bluff, or fucking around to find out, are different to not having a care in the world.

In conclusion: FUCKIN' QED 😜

FUCK YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!

It's the Biff Tannen timeline.

Ok, that's straight up child abuse.

FUCK YOU ALL
