then I would pay the $2 once to get access, then just grab all the links (they’re just private youtube videos) of the tangent videos, and then unsubscribe 🤷‍♀️ not the most ethical, but … it’s still technically feasible

it’s only $2 to get access to all the Tangents, well worth it

fair, but her tangents are more varied in topic she has videos on psychedelics, spirituality, the Barbie movie, etc.

ContraPoints, she only charges on months she produces content- it’s not even every month if she isn’t productive. Her Tangent videos are worth it.

in the 1960s and 70s there was a similar moral panic about lesbians, and a rejection of lesbians as women and as belonging to feminist groups by a vocal minority of second-wave feminists, very similar in some ways to the current moral panic about trans women and the vocal minority of TERFs.

when this happens, just hit “reconnect” on the VPN and refresh - usually after one or two reconnects Reddit won’t have blocked that IP yet, IME

hm, if it’s not too much to ask, maybe a visual would help? Like, an example where Excel or some other program shows correct layout, and LibreOffice has incorrect?

I haven’t had much discomfort with LibreOffice and I tend to be pretty OCD and I do UI work, so … maybe I’ve just ignored it - would like to learn, though!

They assigned male at birth, they were wrong - oops.

this is the way

I prefer Google Sheets to Excel, but I still use LibreOffice Calc for everything anyway

it doesn’t feel that different than Word and Excel, tbh - I don’t know what you’re talking about

are you a computer?

yes!! I’m a fan of 24-hour time, though we should honestly switch to metric time, I think we’re at least a second French revolution away from that happening 😅

or put them at the end of the year, that would fix it for me 😅 July can be the 11th month and August the 12th month!

The English word comes from Latin, septem = 7, membris or mens = month (like menstruation).

In the Roman calendar the months are:

1. March
2. February
3. May
4. June
5. July
6. August
7. September
8. October
9. November
10. December

So the order of the months was more logical, and a Roman would naturally understand that September, October, November, and December read as literally the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth month respectively.

I basically constantly have to manually correct myself over and over that for example September is the 9th month, to look for the number 9 even though when I read “September” I am reading “seventh month” and my brain automatically wants to look for 7.

I think most people would not relate to my experience of the months let alone how upsetting this is to me, hence I consider it a “small hill” to die on, lol. But it’s a very big hill in my world!

All dates should be formatted according to ISO 8601 standard (YYYY-MM-DD).

Months should be adjusted so September, October, November, and December are the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th month respectively (so the literally meaning of the names accords with their actual meaning).

Not cleaning your kitchen knife after sharpening is trashy and contaminates your food with metal shavings.

One billboard said:

Avoid student debt, learn a trade.

or something like that. It jives with the general opinion. I do live in a very conservative place, so maybe like you’re saying it’s a matter of where in the South you are. I’m sure in a major city like Atlanta that’s not a common attitude, for example.

huh, I would guess that the majority of people where I live in the South think this way. It’s repeated dogma from teachers, parents, etc. - there are literally billboards along the roadways talking about how useless university degrees are and advertising for trade schools and certificate programs.

those instincts will keep you alive
