Here’s another analysis worth reading.

Fuck. I felt seen/attacked by that on both counts.

It’s always the oppressors claiming to be the victims.

You’re not wrong, but that’s a terribly sad thing to be grateful for.

Do tell. How would you have prevented all this from happening?

Uh, we’ve all known for years. We’ve been plenty awake and suffering for it the whole time. Unfortunately people (Democrats) who tend to act in good faith don’t know how to deal with people who don’t. While we were fighting for votes, they were fighting to make sure those votes didn’t count while we stood by and let them.

MILLIONS of voters were purged from the voter rolls and bomb threats were called into polling places in critical precincts on election day. The impact was more than enough to swing the election. Here’s the numbers. The elected democrats didn’t do enough to stop it and now we’re stuck fighting an uphill battle that we all must fight. It’s going to get ugly – for us and the rest of the world.

What do you mean? They were both acquitted of their crimes.

Prime example: Oscar (1991)

It got bad reviews (I loved it) but Curry’s performance was amazing.

It’s free on YouTube.

Remember when Elmo asked and everyone dumped their collective grief him? Ya, it’s only gotten far worse.

Literally anything by Nappy Roots.

The Game is underrated IMO.

I really like Mark Battles. “Real Ones, “Numbers2” and “How” are solid tracks.

“Nina” by Rhapsody is a great track.

You have two choices. There’s nothing anyone can do about that in the next 48 hours. If you refuse to vote for the “lesser evil” because of your “higher standards,” you end up with the greater evil. And in four years you might not get a choice at all.

Shove your standards up your ass and vote using logic instead of emotion.

I assure you I’m only thinking of it in two dimensions.

The “front” or “forward” direction of a screw is clearly the face of the fastener itself, be it a hex head, Phillips, or Slotted screw.

Correct.

Picking a side of a face as the front doesn’t make any sense.

Right. Nobody is talking about the under side of the fastener. Just looking it the face of the fastener, as one does when driving into something.

The whole thing needs to rotate one direction or another,

Wrong. A rotating circle rotates in all directions, including right and left, up and down, at the same time. If you attach an arrow perpendicular to the circle, pointing in the direction of rotation, then (if rotating clockwise) the arrow will point right at 0°, down at 90°, left at 180°, and up at 270°

and it will either rotate to the right to tighten, or the left to loosen.

You’re talking about the TOP of the rotation. The bottom of the rotation is moving the opposite direction. Just like the right and left sides move in opposite directions.

Think about a wrench hanging off a fastener, handle pointing to six o’clock. To tighten it (clockwise), does the handle move toward your left or right?

No it’s the face of the clock, and the hands rotate around it to the right.

From nine o’clock to three oclock it rotates to the right. From three to nine it rotates to the left.

The rule for the top of the rotation is “righty tighty”. For the bottom of rotation the rule is “lefty tighty”.

The “righty tighty” saying doesn’t specify which side of the rotation it’s referencing, which as a kid helping my grandfather in the garage was confusing.

Yes! That concept makes way more sense.

Yes, that verbiage makes way more sense.

Clockwise and counter-clockwise makes sense.

But when you say “right” it’s not clear which side of the circle is being referenced. If the top of the circle is moving to the right, the bottom is moving left at the same time. So the saying only makes sense when you specify that you’re talking about the top of the circle.

This phrase has never made any sense to me. It’s a circle. If one side is moving right, then the opposite side is moving left. So the phrase only makes sense if you specify which side we are talking about, which nobody ever does. Therefore it’s completely illogical to me while everyone else just gets it. Side note: Autism can be a real bitch sometimes.

Edit:

1. Some people don’t understand how I can see a problem. That’s cool, but don’t be a dick. We all look at the world through different lenses.
2. This is when I was a kid “helping” my grandfather in the garage. I’m older now and understand that “righty tighty” references the top of the rotation.
3. Some people rotate their perspective 90° and imagine themselves standing on the screw. Therefore when your face rotates to the right the screw is tightened. I hadn’t ever thought of that. But I had imagined rotating my perspective 90° the other direction –the top of my head as a screwdriver. In that case, “lefty tighty”

Are you surprised???

I take offense to the teapot joke. Leave the teapots out of it.
