You can take the negative of any particular cake, but know it’s not like a number line, since cakes come in independent types. You can add them together, or you can combine orthogonal cakes into new ones by a bracket following the Jacobi identity. That’s what I’ve heard, anyway: that the algebra of cake is a Lie.
There, now nobody has to worry about not hearing geeky enough jokes for at least two months.
I’m still upset with Mark Kermode for slagging off Battenberg. I’m not sure I can trust his film reviews any more if his judgment is so suspect.
Did he misspell “rapists” as “killers”?
Wonderful! Thanks, this is one I’m going to remember.
Negative cake
OMFG.
By weird you mean “feel like they’re entitled to it from women simply by existing whenever they want it?”
Whaaaaaat? I mean…I stopped for a second there and thought and I’m still “Whaaaaaaat??”
I turn on the media and I see nothing but dudes (white dudes, usually) being heroes, doing shit, etc. with all the women and brown people in supporting roles mostly.
Syria? I felt as though I were stripped naked as Iran!
Hmm, I noticed that Scott Adams, per his Wikipedia entry, is no longer married as of 2014.
I remember reading about some female columnists who wrote about controversial gender stuff, one of their absolute least favorite commenter type was “angry divorced guy”. Knowing what I know about the male psyche, I agree, and I wonder if he’s gone over to the Angry Divorced Guy side now. Not that he was ever far from it judging by his 2011 stuff.
It seems he married late into his life which is another warning sign in my experience. I also tend to be wary of people who have been married more than two times. At least IMHO.
Sometimes the common link in all your shitty relationships is … you.
The common denominator is always you…
Also, he’s pretty famous for being his own sock puppet, so I wonder if “angrydivorcedguy” was actually him…
As for me, I am a successful, happily married father of three but I am still ANGRY AS HELL ABOUT EVERYTHING and particularly that men are so oppressed in this country. That is some 
I’ve been married twice so I give unsolicited advice to my male friends about to marry for the first time!
I am far from convinced that porn satisfies sexual urges, it seems much more likely to increase sexual urges of people watching it, since it gets them to think about sex when they might not have been. It also depends upon what one expects/needs of sexual activity. For instance, reproduction and helping people are aspects of sexuality which are absent from porn.
Unless you are using the term “porn” as a euphemism for masturbation. In which case I would say that need for it represents a commodification of one’s misery, since one is being “sold” in some way a thing one could have simply done anyway. Buying (monetarily or conceptually) the idea or permission to masturbate seems a bit daft.
Puppies.
Airdrop thousands of puppies attached to cute lil parachutes into Syria. ISIS goes “Awwwwwww” and starts stroking them and the warfare ends.
Make the parachutes out of bubblewrap…
“Entitled” in that they really really want it at a fundamental level and will do weird, and sometimes horrible, things to get it.
Im not putting blame on women, but it’s a fundamental madness built into guys to varying degrees.
Dogs are haram, or at the very least are “capable of making you unclean” as I’ve had it explained to me by a Muslim I know who happens to own several dogs. Suffice it to say, rational people can like dogs, DAESH aren’t that kind of rational.
So cats. Or hamsters. Work with me here.

[/quote]It’s a mixed bag, innit. Do you imagine ‘the media’ is homogenous and perfectly consistent?
And it’s easy to imagine the same inconsistency in an individual, with women being considered at once both less and more important - a media executive doesn’t care what women think, but OTOH they’re not to do the fighting and dying. Superficially inconsistent, but pretty damn consistent with traditional values.
