  • Oddly, yes.

    Percentages also add together in partials. As in 10%+5%+2% = 17%

    So, you start with the 10% by moving the decimal over 83.27 becomes 8.327

    Then add half of that (5%) to its self and get 12.49 (rounded)

    Then take the 10% number and move the decimal over once more (1%) for 0.833 and double it (from 1% to 2%) and get 1.666 and add that to your running total to get your answer of 14.16 (rounding)

    And when I calculator check this I got 14.1559.





  • The year is 2126. I have finished my Doctorate degree to make me eligible for an entry level data entry job at one of the 4 mega corps. For my student loans I owe my school 4 years of life. During my time in school I got cancer from the PFAS plant I was forced to live next to. Cured in one pill (oh the wonders of modern medicine!) But now I owe the pharmaceutical company 4 years of my life.

    The pharmaceutical company and my university are now in a legal match to determine who gets the first 4 years (younger and more productive). They settle. I owe an additional 2 years now for the legal costs that are passed down to me.

    Meanwhile, people in Europe are taking their mandated 6 months of vacation. Fucking communists. Do they even think of the shareholders??

    For me it was people shitting on TRON:Legacy. I saw it opening weekend in 3D by myself. Fucking loved it. Saw it a second time the following weekend with my gf at the time. She was indifferent to it. I still loved it. Then other people would bash it and even The Big Bang Theory jumped on the tron bashing bandwagon. As far as I care, everyone else is wrong, that movie was amazing for a reboot.


  • This is exactly what I have brought up so many times. I shit on academy for being lowest common denominator shitty writing and people bring out the pitch forks as if I am gay bashing. No, I’m shitty writing bashing, they just wrapped it up in a pride flag.

    Remember when DS9 brought in lgbt+ identity discussion through thought provoking situations with deep characters making hard choices that were influenced by their lgbt+ backgrounds or morals?

    Now we have- He is so conflicted because he is a peaceful klingon. Life is so hard in our utopia. By the way, did I mention he was gay?

    I watch star trek for its deep politics and nuanced pushing of boundaries, not to preach to the choir with a mallet.
