    That means what is "correct" is what the bulk of the speakers actually say.

    Does this apply to everything? Like if the bulk of people think the moon is made of cheese?

    I've never heard it used that way. You're making shit up again.

    In that case the American Revolutionary War didn't happen. So when you've finished sucking Donald's cock remind him to drop the keys off when he flies over to visit Her Majesty.

  4. Nope. The rich can afford better weapons and - crucially - they can afford to hire some of the poor to kill the others.

    As independent contractors, obviously. None of that benefits and conditions shit.

    The current job market appears to demand hyper-specialized individuals, and if you don't have a few years of something major under your belt, you won't be able to get a job.

    Even if you have more years than the thing's existed.

  14. Re:Do you just need the right teacher? on 'To Live Your Best Life, Do Mathematics' (quantamagazine.org) · · Score: 1

    I think one of the problems with mathematics is that it's pretty hard to get the average person to see it as anything other than a tool.

    I always enjoyed it, but somewhere around 15 or 16 I started seeing it as a handmaiden to physics rather than a subject in its own right.

    Oddly, I wasn't aware of that at the time or I might have got a better grade in it.

    For the past several years, Mozilla has seemed to let broad ideology drive its decisions.

    50 cents per person on the planet ... for a company that doesn't make (or make anything that can make) anything you can drive, eat or wear.
