Isn't this the only way of saying time in Swedish or something?

idk Im talking about English. If this is the correct way to tell time in other languages, then thats silly but at least its as correct as you can be. In English you can just say the time.

Just because its simple to understand doesnt make it not stupid. Obviously no one struggles to understand ten til two, but why be such a ********** about something when you could just say what time it actually is

Maybe its an easier format to tell time in. Or quicker in some cases. Or theyre more use to it. Or they take a quick look. It can be for any reason. Why should they only tell you time in the way you want. Maybe its how they tell time for work normally because they are usually working with deadlines and its easier to say 10 til or 15 til because thats how long they have until they need to start working on something else...

Okay cool since things are usually due for me on fridays, Ill start referring to everything relative to that.

What day is it?
Two till Friday.
What day is it?
One past.

Payday is on the first of the month.
When is your rent due?
Two after the first.

My birthday is in February.
What month is Flag Day?
Four after two.

Thats obviously dumb. Its easier, more effient, and takes a lot less effort to say what you mean exactly, then to give roundabout answers. Its not about telling time how I want it told, its about telling time in a standard way thats most precise and accurate with as little unnecessary detail as possible.

I understand but really I don't think having the time said to you in that way constitutes to a math problem. And it doesn't really need to be calculated either and if you are calculating it in your head then I think it's just a matter of you not being accustomed to this. This plus a preference for the other format.

How much milk did you buy at the store?
Milk cost 2.49 per gallon with the inclusion of sales tax. I had 13 dollars and bought all the milk I could have.

The answer is there, and its pretty easy. But you also couldve just said five gallons

I came into this expecting nonstop fighting and energy blasts and dragon balls, but its neat how its really just a kid (with a weird unexplained monkey ability lmao) trying to find an heirloom and making friends (and enemies) along the way.

I had a topic about this, but it archived. Im watching all of Dragon Ball og/z/gt/s.

Im about halfway through the fourth saga. Goku, Bulma, and Krillan are in an underwater cave looking for a ball and theyre being attacked by robot pirates.

Im enjoying it so far but its a lot more cartoony than I thought it would be. Like, lots of violence but no deaths. And lots of guns but no one gets hit. LOTS of perving on young girls, especially from Roshi, but there was the scene where the two army guys were going to rape Bulma. That was more intense than I expected.

Anyway just giving an update. Im gonna try and finish this series by the end of the year.

I dont see the left telling people they cant think theyre non-binary. Or telling people they must have unwanted children. Or telling people they cant kneel during a song.

The left wants you to do you, as long as youre not hurting anyone. Please tell me how anything the left stands for directly hurts anyone.

Pronouns and names are ways we self-identify.

If someone prefers They instead of She, saying Im upset you dont feel like a she so Im going to be a child and scream LALALALALA and call you a girl is a very fragile reaction, when instead you could just say okay.

Someone else wanting to be called They literally doesnt affect your life at all. Calling someone something that they dont like being called (regardless of whether you agree with it or not) is being a dick for no reason.

So professors are getting into trouble because theyre so offended that someone else prefers pronouns other than he/she that they refuse to use them? Yeah, intentionally antagonising your students seems like a good reason to get into trouble.

Its like if you meet someone with a name youve never heard, and instead of being a decent person and remembering their name, you said Twoplia isnt a real name, so Im going to call you Sarah.

Once or twice is an accident, sure. But if they repeatedly reminded you thats not their name, and the you kept calling them by the wrong name and basically insulting them because they refused to go by a Sarah, then youre a jerk. Doing this in a professional environment like a classroom, is unprofessional. You dont need to agree with what your students are doing. You dont need to make it known you disagree. Just stop caring.

And btw, just like forgetting someones name, its always more polite to ask (sorry, I know youve told me before, but what are your preferred pronouns again?) than to just make something up, especially if you know youre wrong.
