Being oppressed for one facet of your identity doesn't stop people from being bigots.
cf TERFs, most of whom are women. They're victims of misogyny, but they're also perpetrators of transmisogyny.
Standing up for all “oppressed groups” is contradictory. For example, in western countries, LGBT people are an oppressed group, and so are Muslims, yet when the latter are in power, they treat the former very badly, so which side do you stand up for?
This is nonsense. I can want Muslim people to have human rights without wanting to live in a Muslim theocracy. Just like I want Christian theocrats out of the US government, but I don't want to murder Christians.
I swear it wasn't like this when I was in elementary school 30 years ago. Where the fuck are the school busses?
There are other idempotent numbers in the split-complex and q-adic (for non-prime q) numbers.
There are, in fact, stupid questions.
Zero is a real number, but interestingly, it's also a pure imaginary number. It's the only number that's both things at once.
Complex numbers 🤝 Split-complex numbers 🤝 Dual numbers
All super rad.
Speak for yourself.
I want people to figure out how to think for themselves and create for themselves without leaning on a glorified Markov chain. That's what I want.
I would have asked this on a math community but I couldn't find an active one.
In a spherical geometry, great circles are "straight lines". As such, a triangle can have two or even three right angles to it.
But what if you go the long way around the back of the sphere? Is that still a triangle?
(Edit:) I guess it's a triangle! Fair enough; I can't think of what else you would call it. Thanks, everyone.
My eyes were bigger than my stomach... At least I'll have leftovers.
