I'm sure most of these had some basis in fact, but ginned up to be more outrageous:

I wish she had the balls to say she was hot, and not "a blonde woman." Like anyone gives a gently caress you're blonde. The "engineering student" humblebrag is also galling, as though being hot and majoring in Writing at MIT is somehow more ok.

No, obviously they grow an extra boob. 'X's are for boobs.

When I was little, I thought X meant a person standing with outstretched arms for a hug, and O meant the shape your lips make for a kiss. I still can't get over that it's reversed.

"Dating is hell. Granted, it can be hell for anyone, but I'm a hair away from giving it up entirely. I've already sworn off internet dating because too many men have gotten angry when I have declined to date them. One guy messaged me while I was at work, then cursed me out for not responding quickly enough."

If you are below a 8.5 on the objective hotness scale, men will simply not do this to you. Fact.

VVVV I'm assuming you mean both as a customer and an employee, correct?

With the first story, the detail that bothers me the most is the girl doesn't know what a butcher knife is and says that her mom stabs it into her chopping block.

I'm pretty sure rapists can have sisters as well as victims. Not sure why him having a sibling=innocence.

It's specifically his sister getting told her brother is a rapist. Presumably he isn't and she knows he isn't, so it's a blown bluff.

That still doesn't track. I don't imagine rapists discuss their rapes with siblings or family members, so "ha, I'm his sister and so I know he's not a rapist" is a pretty dumb defense.

Obviously, there's a whole spectrum of how rapey someone can be, but if someone is telling that your brother is a repeat offender who's getting caught enough to have a reputation, I feel like you'd have enough info to make a call against it. But who knows, maybe sexual assaulters are really good at hiding that aspect from their close relatives.

This is just some kind of joke you're all adding poo poo to, right? I refuse to believe in a cuber subculture.

It's mostly around the techniques and the gear. There's increasingly more sophisticated moves to solve the cube from more complex stated. And of course there's a ton of options for building a "speed cubing" cube.
When that guy said Gans, I'm sure it's some prescribed build of a cube.

I was taught how to do it in high school by this really gung ho guy who spoke of getting into the zone and being in a "cubing high." I'll bet that's still part of the culture.

How are we to know that he's not taking the shoes? Racism is not over, sorry.

Not that it says anything, but the kid barely has a grip on the shoes yet; he'd need another hand under or to adjust his hand to hold both. He's either posing, hasn't fully received the shoes, or has carefully let the other guy grab them but still kept a minimal grip on one.

Remind me how to do that problem.

Zaphod42 posted:

However for simply doing what BgRdMchne was saying you just need the formula Wolfram has listed, there is a solution: N = Sigma(Ai Xi) starting with i=1 to i=n with the values Ai representing the values of the coins.

Depends on what he meant by "how to do that problem." If problem = coin problem, sure, you just iterate over a pretty small space until you find a match or exhaust your space.
If problem = how to find a solution for any N, you can either do the above slowly or use the formula if n=2.

In middle school, I used to randomly hit my friend in the nuts with the sharper end of my violin case when we were all hanging out before homeroom. It was, uhhh, really weird, and I don't have any excuses for it besides that I thought it was funny.
When I asked him about it later in high school, he said he usually faked the pain because I didn't hit him that hard but he didn't know how else to deal with the situation.
