That's really not true at all though. Look up "Food Pantries in my area" and see how many places offer food in your area. The blind man would qualify for lifetime disability checks. Food stamps are a thing, charities and churches do this kind of work as well. My city has an emergency rent program and there are, of course, homeless shelters and soup kitchens as well. It's really that society's mechanism for meeting the needs of the hungry are part voluntary (charity) and part automatic with entitlements (not a bad word!) and sometimes people fall through the cracks.

This is why getting people connected to resources is such a big deal.

You could also just right click though /shrug

Cut is just Command + X. You can swap in Command for most of the windows shortcuts that use control. Why didn't Apple just use the Control button for Control things? That I do not know.

I think we need to separate giving a fuck from morally wrong. I know that even stealing from Walmart is morally wrong because two wrongs don't make a right as the old saying goes, but more importantly, by living in this society and reaping its benefits, we agree to abide by its rules too. Justification is way too easy of an exercise to have any bearing on what's acceptable.

That being said...I also don't even give a fraction of a fuck about someone stealing from Walmart.

We can admit that something is wrong without caring if it's enforced or not. Kind of like solo drivers being in the carpool lane. Wrong? Yes. Care? Not a chance. They've made their own risk/reward calculations in each case.

That you're still wrong? As I said, the true answer is that the problem is written poorly due to the obelus and thus is open to interpretation. You're entitled to your own interpretation since it's written poorly, I just find it pretty obviously less logical than multiplying using the distributive property first to resolve the term with the parentheses fully as you would in any advanced math.

Also, distributive law and distributive property are the same thing per Khan academy "The distributive property is sometimes called the distributive law of multiplication and division."

Wait till you hear that "i before e except after c" wasn't true either. It's wild that you think 7th grade math overrules grad school math though lol.

"Always remember to solve using PEMDAS once you've used the distributive property!" Link%20and%20subtraction%20(S).)

(emphasis mine)

Lol, that's fair. I would never infringe on someone's silent judgement :D It made sense to me that the Rebel Army would have different and abbreviated nicknames for things. Armed forces guys in the US at least are kind of notorious for having abbreviations and pet names for things. For instance a "Huey" is a name for an Iriqouis helicopter. Actually, couldn't think of better examples so I found a pretty solid article about it.

I prefer the biblical version:

"Hear ye, hear ye, if he who is not humbled before the Lord shall fucketh around, surely I tell you that he shall findeth out."

-DudeYou'reOntoMe 33:16 (Lebron James version)

Yeah, it really feels like every toddler figures this out for themselves. He just said it succinctly.

I'll start an argument: calling the walkers a name that sounds like the word "at" twice or calling them "Haiti-Haiti" minus the H are both acceptable.

Well, fair enough for sure. Let's just both agree that those people suck and I genuinely hope you're enjoying your phone of choice!

Seems like our only disagreement is just how many of the evangelicals there are. I used to do tech support for iPhones about 10 years ago and I'd say maybe one out of every 30 callers or so were the rabid fanboy types you describe. But that sample was skewed too because I was pretty much only talking to people having an issue with their phone. Hardly anyone was an Apple fan after 20 minutes on hold lol

Cheers and good talk!

But the majority of Apple and Iphone users

There are over 135 million iPhone users in the US. What's your sample size to be saying that a majority of users want to tell you how great their product is? Are you sure you're not oversampling the loud ones? That is, it's easy to count the people who try to convert you, but how easy is it really to count the people who just don't care? Some of them have likely overheard your conversations about phones and just kept on walking or doing their own thing.

Maybe it is not in your circle and you are then actually lucky.

Is it that I'm lucky or that you're unlucky? Both would shift the window of perception in the same way.

I would suggest that people who want to pretend their decision-making is better than yours (especially regarding personal preference) sound like the type of annoying people that I avoid. Sorry you have to deal with them though! Those people suck whether they're talking about their phones, shoes, cars, clothes, consoles, beer etc.
