Biggest reason I was never interested in tobacco or weed. My asthma was pretty bad when I was younger and smoke was one of the big ones for triggering an attack.

He/They... Because I'll never be Him.

Just-killed Da-pope Vance what?

Cool, cuz I didn't know if you could really call it courage when you effectively black out for the whole thing but like... Not in a bad way. Kinda worried my partner the first time we were together like that cuz she thought I was straight up dissociating or something.

Look at you missing the point entirely again or being intentionally fucking obtuse.

They might have an induction stove. The community housing project that owns the apartment I rent recently joined this pilot program to switch appliances from gas to electric to see how much it helped air quality and energy use in the home. It used to take me like 3 minutes to boil 2 cups of water on the stove, now that they replaced it with an induction stove it's like 30 seconds. It's amazing.

Is it still courage if the reason you're a bottom is because your brain turns to mush and you melt into a puddle of goo when your partner does stuff? Asking for a friend >. >

Yes, the comic assumes people struggle with the order of operations. It does not however assume that of the reader. It is intended to make the reader assume that the character struggles with it and it's enthusiastically wrong rather than that they're using the ! operator.

At worst the comic is trying to be engagement bait and trick those people into commenting some variation of "Wrong, the correct answer is 24. You always do the division first," to which someone can reveal to them that they were bamboozled because "4!" is in fact 24.

Edit: and if they catch that it's like "Haha, you almost tricked me with that sneaky factorial. Well played." That's where the humor comes from. Whether or not it manages to trick you into thinking that they did it wrong.

What are you even talking about? In what world is the assumption supposed to be that the actual answer is 4 and that 24 is some kind of secret hidden answer?

The assumption being made by the comic is that the reader knows the order of operations and will think that the person answering 4! is the one that did it wrong and mistakes the ! operator for them being enthusiastically wrong.

The answer in the comic is correct. It's just written in a way to make you as the reader think he's got it wrong for a second.

The ! operator in mathematics indicates a function called a factorial. Four factorial, or 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24. Which is the correct answer if you follow the proper order of operations.

No no, they're saying "4!" literally is the answer. The joke is that you say 4!, the other person who presumably knows the order of operations assumes you got it wrong and did 25 - 5 = 20 ÷ 5 = 4 when really you do division first so the real answer is 24. The punchline is that "4!" is how you write 4 factorial or 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 which is 24.

I didn't even notice that when I was writing it I was so mad, lol.

I'm so mad at how feckless these people are. I can empathize with Rep. McBride not wanting her entire existence as a lawmaker to be spent on trans rights. It's exhausting having to constantly justify your existence as a trans person and I imagine doubly so as a lawmaker. But the fact of the matter is that we don't have that option. But the Democrats see the right swaying public opinion with lies and are saying "Welp, guess trans people aren't popular anymore. Time to drop trans people."
