"Sacks-uh-wha-man" is pretty close, iirc it's originally an aymara name so it's a little "borderline impossible" to get the pronunciation 100% right if you're not a native speaker. Beautiful place, but nobody ever, EVER talks about the fucking slides and it drives me nuts.
What kind of cat did you have and what were the circumstances?
"Cat" (it was cooked, I assume it was a shorthair since there were ample feral shorthairs around), and it was part of a banquet-thing I was at while visiting friends - except sea cucumber (which is revolting it has the exact taste and texture of a loogie) the rest of the food was very good!
(edit: I am not sure british wartime cooking is a great metric to base "Tastes-Goodness" off of)
Honestly, cat is just pretty gross. Did not like at all, even before I knew what it was. Incredibly greasy, very unpleasantly gamey, weirdly stringy, do not recommend.
Oh, you're trolling. Alright, fair enough. I gotta ask though, why troll in defense of the christians? They're doing more than enough to destroy society without your helping out on their behalf by sowing nonsense like this.
The image I used of the modern $20 is a counterfeit one. Real US currency does not have "MONEY" written on it in cartoon fonts (and also it lacks the eurion constellation). The color gradient is accurate, though.
That person has gone on to repeatedly double down on the position elsewhere in the comments, I'm afraid to say the hivemind was right on this one and they sure appear to be a whackdoodle that actually believes what they said there.
Did you mean Poe's Law? That would imply you only made the claim about divine selection bias sarcastically, and we all just thought you were being serious.
Yes, but importantly you can't demonstrate that it was a god that saved them. We'll deal with the issue of which one it was once we get past that first problem.
That’s demonstrably false.
Er... Well, this seems like a great opportunity for you to prove that. Though I suspect you misunderstood the initial comment here.
What did you do at those universities (and were they notably accredited)? There's a world of options here, and the difference in areas of budgetary interest between being something like a provost vs. a lab manager is vast. Both deal with budgets, but the familiarity with the broad scope of the uni's budgetary policy vs. the realities of budgetary specifics is very relevant to the impression you present here.
For example, a reputation for enforcing academic rigour greatly improves things like grant allocation, which cover far more of a university's budget than a small percentage loss of tuition from academic dismissal of students does. That is not an aspect addressed directly below the level of deans (or program leads at larger unis, and PIs at research-heavy ones) but one that has a tremendous impact on the daily operation of the institution.
It's just not an either/or issue here, and in general academic dismissal is a net zero for a university because of those huge areas of unstated complexity.
The idea that conservatives don't go to college is silly. They go to college, and while having a college education does have an impact on a person's political leanings, it's not the outsized one that gets played up in the culture war.
Participation grades exist, I've taught classes that have them - but they seldom give credits towards degrees, and they aren't a thing in accredited programs (in fact the opposite is usually the case, competitive programs generally have massive classes where you're required to fail hundreds and hundreds of students at a time. The most soul-sucking experiences I have ever had while teaching have been running 600-1200 person weed out classes).
The funding process of a university is not straightforward - but no, the loss of a set of students, especially for cheating, is not a budgetary concern at an accredited institution. Academic standards enforcement is a condition for accreditation, even.
This was more a comment on how the american aesthetic is so prolific that you still think of US currency being green despite it being long past the point where that was true, rather than a comment on what the colors actually are.
Historical bill (Very Green) (1998):
Recent bill (not very green) (2013):
(There is a very funny joke in here that I only just noticed, though the color representation is still pretty accurate)
Modern US bills are really more of a white-blue with bruise yellow tones (except for the $1s) - but damn is the idea of the "american greenback" deeply rooted in the cultural identity!
Man, anyone ever told you you're kinda a judgemental prick? Why can't people just like things without having to ascribe to the complicated drama surrounding it. or being hated on by some random internet commenter's purity tests? This is a joke from softcore porn, you are really eager to be a jerk to people about this.
