No, you're not thinking about this world. You're forgetting about the third dimension. When I get home, I'll build a model.
Sigh. I can’t take the pictures that way, but it still can’t fall through. Use your imagination and see. Don’t forget the hole has to be slightly smaller to make it work correctly in the first place. The ends can’t get any further no matter how you rotate it.No, you're not thinking about this world. You're forgetting about the third dimension. When I get home, I'll build a model.
No. The holes are not smaller to prevent the piece from going in when fit correctly. Not a good model.It seems like I’ve encountered this problem before.......

You put one edge in first and slide it past the lip, the rock the other side down and in. Like getting a couch through a door.Sigh.

In a square, the diagonals are further away. There are no diagonals in a triangle.
Please build the model.

Then round covers don’t work either. Except they do. Because the hole is smaller.
No. S is s. It can’t be shorter than s.
h is shorter than s. I am putting an h width cover through an s width hole. Again, think 3 dimensionally.No. S is s. It can’t be shorter than s.
Lol I’m wrong. I admit it.No matter how you turn it the corners can never fit
Yup, that's exactly what I meant by thinking in 3 dimensions.
I disagree. Language is important, and it represents truth. Redefining language can reshape a culture. They know that. Why else would they be doing it?
I’m quite certain I will lose my job if I refuse to speak the chosen (but obviously false) gender of my co-worker. That means I am no longer free to speak the truth. Language matters.Exactly. It starts small or with things that are 'what's the big deal'? One day this seemingly simple 'who cares' deal with infringe on your rights in some way. Then it'll be too late.
People are being arrested now in other countries for not using gender neutral terms, calling a real he a he if they decided they are a woman, etc.

If Berkeley passes an ordinance decreeing that people can be punished for saying "manhole," then I will join you in your outrage. This is an ordinance changing what terms are used in the city code, not mandating what members of the public can say.Exactly. It starts small or with things that are 'what's the big deal'?

What does ban mean?If Berkeley passes an ordinance decreeing that people can be punished for saying "manhole," then I will join you in your outrage. This is an ordinance changing what terms are used in the city code, not mandating what members of the public can say.
"A California city voted to ban some gender-specific words in its city code and replace them with gender-neutral options."

It is possible, Brown says, through a process that would start with a complaint and progress to a proceeding before a human rights tribunal. If the tribunal rules that harassment or discrimination took place, there would typically be an order for monetary and non-monetary remedies. A non-monetary remedy may include sensitivity training, issuing an apology, or even a publication ban, he says.“Bill C-16, currently before Canada's parliament, prohibits discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act on the basis of gender identity and expression. The bill covers the federal government and federally regulated industries like banks or airlines. It also extends hate speech provisions under Canada's criminal code to transgendered people.
"I don't think any legal expert would say using an inappropriate pronoun, while not something that respects the human rights of trans people, would ever result in a criminal conviction," said Kyle Kirkup, a law professor with the University of Ottawa who specialises in gender identity and sexuality law.
“But Dr Peterson could face sanction under Ontario's human rights code, which extended protection to trans people in 2012.
Penalties range from fines and damages to mandatory anti-discrimination training.”

You definitely shop at different stores than I do.
I agree. Who woulda thought we'd ever talk about triangles. LOLI love PoA. I started reading this thread and figured it’d go one of a couple different directions, but didn’t count on it completely nerding out with a geometry argument!
My work here is done.I agree. Who woulda thought we'd ever talk about triangles. LOL
What does "in its city code" mean?What does ban mean?
Oh, but you don't understand: people need something to be outraged about!The headlines are more sizzle than the substance in terms of the alarm this should cause. Its no where near a ban on the use words themselves by the citizenry, they just will not be allowed to be used in city code, no ones going to get ya for calling your plane a she...but city code will be gender neutral. I think it’s a good step, but.... yawn... hardly national news...
It’s an evolution of society, it just happens over time, often in the beginning it sounds awkward or unnecessary but eventually becomes status quo. Our Caucasian grandfathers, even if they weren’t deep seeded racists, would have used language in casual conversation that today would sound offensive, as a prime example of how things change.
It’s going to be okay, Berkeley deciding to use gender neutral language in city code is not the start of 1984 and the thought police...
It’s not outrage. It’s called being able to see more than six inches in front of your face. If you’d be willing to discuss it rather than mischaracterize it, send me a PM.Oh, but you don't understand: people need something to be outraged about!
You're the one who's mischaracterizing it.It’s not outrage. It’s called being able to see more than six inches in front of your face. If you’d be willing to discuss it rather than mischaracterize it, send me a PM.
