It wasn’t actually Hemingway. Versions of the story can be found from 1906 when Hemingway was 7, and there is apparently no mention of a connection between him and the story before the 1990s.

Aren’t we all?

What the heck is the origin of this meme template? And am I the only one who thought this was Roger Stone?

Because the teacher is wrong and it’s an idiotic question.

The question asks the child to explain how Marty ate more pizza than Luis. “He didn’t” is not an appropriate answer to that question.

We know that Marty and Louis didn’t eat from the same pizza, because Marty ate 4/6 of a pizza and Luis ate 5/6 of a pizza. We also know that Marty did eat more, because it’s right there in the question.

The only logical answer is that Marty’s pizza is bigger, and so 4/6 of his pizza amounts to more pizza than 5/6 of Luis’s smaller pizza.

The question should have been “Marty ate 4/6 of a pizza and Luis ate 5/6 of a pizza. Explain who ate more pizza.”

That looks like my writing now, and I’m in my 30s.

A banana in the hand is worth a bird in bush.

Always nice to see some love for the Dead in the wild.

Man, I might have to steal that for future platforms.

I thought I was losing my mind reading your comments.

I don’t think you meant it that way but it looks funny that you gave the average mid-westerner comment while also mentioning LA in response to San Jose.

Just for any actual avg midwesterners, San Jose is the same distance from LA as Chicago is from Cleveland. Or Indianapolis is from Pittsburg.

Carwashes are a decent choice of laundering business, but are also a business with remarkably low overhead. They are a popular choice of business for someone who wants to buy land and sit on it in a place they believe will become developed so they can sell it later. There is a large initial outlay for building the structure, but the actual machines and installation can cost less than buying a car. Upkeep is surprisingly simple and costs less than you probably think. The soaps and chemicals are dirt cheap and sold in 30-55gal quantities that last a month or more depending on traffic. The only real overhead if you aren’t getting customers is your mortgage and payroll, and you’d be paying a mortgage even if you just bought the land and did nothing with it. Not to mention touchless carwashes only require staff when there is a problem and any touch carwash can be run by a single person.

That sounds like an issue with your computer rather than W11. I just used Etcher on my W11 desktop to flash Mint XFCE yesterday with no issues.

Revealed my what?

I legitimately can’t tell if you are saying that ironically or not.

This meme sucks.

This letter isn’t actually directed to Mark, it’s an ad.

If you are genuinely asking, they are playing on “trigger happy” using “hilt” to refer to the hilt of Obi-Wan’s lightsaber. In the scene they are referencing Obi-Wan cuts off some ugly alien dudes arm in a bar in what could be perceived as a huge escalation in violence.

I wonder when london will get its wheels wings

Is it the 50 year old teacher/coach/priest touching 15 year old boys, or is it the 15 year old boy inside the 50 year old just exploring his sexuality?

I firmly believe there is a massive difference between confessing/divulging info about your co-conspirators, and accusing your abuser to authority. One is snitching, the other is how the concept justice is supposed to work.

In that case, I will simplify. Your opinion/position/belief is incorrect.

“Snitching” is the act of telling an authority figure information that gets them into trouble. Telling an authority figure the name of a bully falls firmly under this category, as does telling mom your older brother smashed your toy, telling the cops you saw Jim Bob break into Joe Johnson’s car while driving by, and admitting to the DA that you and Bob shot the sheriff to avoid getting additional charges related to someone else’s murder of the deputy.

Merriam Webster: To inform, tattle; to give information (as to the authorities) about another’s improper or unlawful activities

Cambridge: to secretly tell someone in authority that someone else has done something bad, often in order to cause trouble

Oxford LD: to tell a parent, teacher, etc. about something wrong that another child has done

I don’t think the framing is iffy at all. There is no distinction in the phrase limiting it to only conspirators. Snitching is snitching.

You are latching onto the bullying aspect and adding emotional context to a simple comic with a straightforward pun.
