i mean.... try to get most americans to admit that a real mental disorder is actually a 'mental disorder' and not a person being 'a lazy, no-good bum' and you'll become blue in the face trying to argue. or they'll agree with you to avoid confrontation and then go on having the same shit opinions.

If that dudeβ€˜s bum was no good, I don’t think anyone would be willing to pay 20 bucks for it

If not to pay next vertex of a triangle, then why would anyone desire $20 this much? Some may judge, but GDP is increasing as we speak, one Andrew at a time.

With all due respect: what?

People say "I am not gay but $20 is $20," but why do they want $20 so bad? What's something that everyone wants that also costs $20?

Answer is of course, like the answer to most problems, gay sex!

Alex gives Bob $20 for gay sex.
Bob gives Cyrus $20 for gay sex.
Cyrus gives Alex $20 for say gex.
International GDP goes up by $60.

It's gayonomics 101!

(Andrew is name of the character on $20 bills)

Religion, organized religion should be considered a mental illness, prove me wrong. Anything that teaches hate, promotes superiority, or considers anyone less because they choose to believe (or not) in something else… all for a deity that can’t seemed to be bothered to actually smite those very people religions claims to truly despise… Being gay is ok. Love to my gay peeps.

Churches are called out as an exception to the delusion diagnosis in the DSM.

The mental health profession knows.

People will see what will likely get them to engage more often. So if a left wing person rage comments on a right wing post, they will get more of that and vice versa. If you use the tik toks and the instagrams of the world, just start swiping. Less than one second per item. Don’t stop. You will see the different themes of topics. They will try to hook you with titties, jokes, politics, whateve...

Please stop putting the dollar sign after the number, y’all! Yes, I know that’s how you say it.

12,701.35$ seems awkward. I'd rather know it's money up front, instead of at the end.

I am now even more confused, and I didn’t even get either gay sex nor $20

Well yeah. I am not saying otherwise.

The algorithm also takes in all the user’s data to determine what to show. If it was simple, everyone would do it. Plus there are millions of parameters for advertising and influence.

Before, after, meh. I'd just be happy if people would quit writing $20 dollars all the goddamn time.

I always read such sentences to myself as "...twenty dollar-dollars" πŸ™„

So it's in50 because otherwise you have to figure out that the 50 is 50 inch?
