And you link directly to the evidence of my correct use.

An exact number has an infinite number of significant figures.

If the number of apples in a bag is 4 (exact number), then this number is 4.0000... (with infinite trailing zeros to the right of the decimal point). As a result, 4 does not impact the number of significant figures or digits in the result of calculations with it.

There is no question of precision in counting humans and thus every 1 human can be represented as 1.000000 humans. When dividing populations to find a proportion, you have use as many decimal places as you see fit.

Kindest regards.

Losing? In MAGA's delusional world, maybe. In reality she's won against the orange pedophile. She won against that illegal immigrant from South Africa. She's winning her fraud case against Citi. She won against the NRA. She won against DOT withholding funding conditional on immigration issues. She's been winning cases against state agencies for not doing their duty for low-income people. She won against the pedophile again when she secured Congressionally secured funding from the Department of Education. She won against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany which pulled the pension for over 1,000 employees and is required to restore that pension.

Doesn't sound like losing, does it?

We don't have generations, and if you think government is a bigger threat than climate change, then you demonstrate ever more the utter idiocy of humanity. You want a free pass for being a greedy idiot, but the universe doesn't care about ideology either. It's rather pathetic to watch someone try desperately to convince themselves they are immune from the physical forces of nature. Well, amusing and depressing, because people keep doing it.

Comment Re:I don't see the nihilism from the young people (Score 1) 135

The minute you assert that somehow young men have some sort of right to sexual experience, even within the context that they need to "man up" so women will have sex with them, dehumanizes women and creates this sense that there is the entitlement that can be unlocked.

Women are human beings, not sex toys for good little boys. Toxic masculinity stems in part from a sense of privilege, that men have inalienable rights to sex and affection from women. While I'm sure you care about the plight of young men, you're simply repeating the same dehumanizing language that typifies toxic masculinity. You just think that you can say it if you preface it with "I'm from the Left".

Do you think I'm a fucking idiot? Do you not know how transparent you are?

It's not a national security issue in regards to the chips or we wouldn't have seen a deal with Nvidia

Alternately, it is a national security issue, but Cheeto Benito DGAF about national security.

I don't have a strong opinion about whether or not it is, and in fact suspect it ain't, but...
