Half of all marriages, which include people who have been married multiple times. For example, if you have 5 married couples, 4 are on their first marriage and the last couple is on their 6th marriage, then on average 50% of the marriages in this scenario failed. But it doesn’t apply to everyone in the same way. Some people even remarry the same person.

The median is much lower.

That’s not an analogy at all, as it’s completely different from what i said earlier. I’m not trying to prove that Earth is moving amazingly fast, I’m trying to show how the headline seems grander than it is.

I also don’t think a lot of people realize quite how fast the Earth is moving through space. Saying a million miles an hour really does seem impressive if you don’t have that information. But as we speak, we are literally hurtling through space at half that pace.

If we weren’t orbiting the sun we would end up orbiting something else at a different speed.

This would be similar to saying that San Bernardino county in California is 20000 sq mi, or about 50k km squared. It’s just a number without context. But if i told you it’s a county that is it was bigger than both the country of Switzerland and US State of West Virginia, that’s added context for size comparison. The way that California divides its county structure does not invalidate this comparison, and is irrelevant.

I’m not really sure what your intent or point is here.

I don’t think that’s entirely fair to say. The headline reads sensationally about a celestial object, but our own sun is traveling at almost half that speed, and we’re following it. I’m not trying to prove that the Earth is incredibly fast, only that the headline may sound more impressive than it is.

Isn’t the sun revolving around the center of the milky way at approximately 450,000 mph? And the Earth revolves around the sun, so we’re moving about half as fast as this new object right now. One million is pretty fast, but context makes it a little less shocking.

Not a reddit fan anymore, but this makes me think of r/portugalcykablyat

If you travel, you’ll find very interesting combinations of flavors. As a few modest examples, I recently came upon paprika flavored and cheese and onion flavored Pringles, and awhile back i had sake flavored kit kats.

Travel more! Plenty of flavor experimentation going on

There are several under “unique tone” that actually seem… Better?

I think the joke is that a dominatrix is meant to, well, dominate their client (sexually). Think like with whips and chains, for example. Unfortunately, everything in her house, even the ficus, dominates her. It’s a bad first impression and she appears to be unfit for the role.

Looks like a Milchkaffee, which is kinda like a cafe au lait

They’re saying that allegedly, Christians are not big on voting, and this statement is meant to encourage those non voters to come vote just this once and everything will get better. Then you can go back to being a non voter.

I think.

Horrible wording no matter how you slice it, though.

Some companies give stock as a primary benefit. Some of those companies may provide stock in lieu of some or all of a salary. That doesn’t mean it’s necessary valuable - they typically give you some amount of stock equal to a part of your salary (or some other normal monetary amount), and you would be hopeful the value increases substantially over time.

Just the fact that the other person has stock from their time being employed by Disney is no indicator of their wealth. You can own partial stock as well. It could be worth $50. We don’t know.

I feel like the wealthy people you see are the ones who either get excitement from flaunting it or from lying about it (for example, mtv cribs was all fake). There are plenty of stories (yes i know they’re just stories) about multi millionaires who drive the same old truck, wear regular blue jeans, and have a nice quiet (albeit larger than average) home.

It’s not crazy at all. I just think we see the outliers more frequently than not because they want us to see them.

I appreciate it, thank you. Yeah fair points

I disagree with it being heroic, but i really appreciate the sentiment. I imagine more people would do it if it was more affordable. I’ve gotten some flack from my family for it being costly (minimal flack, more like a double check), but it’s worth it (and they understand once i explain it).

I spent a lot of money to install solar, got new efficient windows, and got a heat pump to reduce gas usage. I’m thankful to have the financial freedom to make these decisions, as well as to have referrals for affordable options.

We’re trying to be better about plastic usage and waste in our household.

I did these to reduce my energy usage. They’ll save money long term eventually, but not enough to be worth it monetarily. I can’t control much but i can at least try to do what i think is better.

Ha, i am somewhat familiar with the genre, i just wanted to contribute :) studied ancient rome, so that is legit what i typically think of when i hear goth.

To me, goths are the people who sacked Rome in 410. None of this makes sense to me.

Looks like the label says blueberry

I’m definitely not an expert so don’t take my point of view too seriously. However, I’m guessing so because it’s a meme directed at a community that should understand it, but nobody seems to understand it at all. A lot of AI is just crowd sourced language models, so it’ll just put commonly used words together that may or may not make sense, depending on the prompt. In this case, it looks like a prompt of something like make a meme about a niche metal band using the I’m too afraid to ask template.

I also question any poster who makes a post like this but then doesn’t engage anyone. Just drop it and move on. This person seems active on other subs, so i wouldn’t guess bot account, but that would leave AI. He or she has no idea how to respond to the comments because they don’t understand their own post is my guess.

IDK if hated is the right word. This seems like an AI generated meme to get a rise out of a community.

That being said, allegedly dragonforce was annoying to see live because they used to get too drunk to play their own songs. They seem to be more sober now, and they play pretty well.
