Re: Jontron's ancestry, it's why white nationalist meetings hilariously break into fights as everyone tries to no-true-whiteman each other out of the group
The thing with purity testing is that it's never finished. You just keep shifting the goalposts so you never have to stop doing it.
Probably my favorite part of the Jon Jafari / Steven Bonnell debate was when Jon adamantly refused to believe that Irish people didn't used to be considered white
"That's ridiculous! They're super white; I... I don't believe you!"
Jon Jafari is really dumb and is bad at argument. He doesn't fully understand the kind of people he consorts with these days, and when he is confronted with it, his best response is... "nuh uh!"

The idea of white people and "racial purity" cracks me up because like isn't there pretty good evidence the first people would have been from the Africa/Egypt area and pretty dark skinned?
My new favorite is that if you are light skinned it is because your ancestors knocked boots with Neanderthals most likely.
::looks at beard, then looks at hair on toes::
checks out.
Nah
The cranial bun is the biggest giveaway your ancestors might have fucked some cave people. It's rare in humans but was a dominant trait in neanderthals IIRC.

This is why Twitter eventually created easier tweet-chains to follow. When someone replies to themself and continue to respond in that fashion, when you click to read the tweet all of their responses will be lined up orderly after it.
So damn much of Twitter's functionality was created by the actual users and then formally implemented by Twitter.
1) I think I use the word "orthogonal" too much, but it's useful
2) Aioua you said I'd want an autosiphon. You were correct, but not for wine, for siphoning nasty water out of crayfish tanks
3) I keep talking to the crayfish and giving them affectionate group names and something is wrong with me
orthogonal is a great word who dares suggest it can be overused
It is, but I don't know if everyone knows what it means when I'm grading papers. I should just write "independent."
oh hmm I didn't know the stats definition
I just use it as an opposite to 'diagonal'
Right, hence me thinking "Maybe I shouldn't use it."
I would guess that for most people it evokes 'perpendicular' rather than 'independent', just because that's how it is used in geometry and physics, which people have more exposure to than they do to statistics.

I find the JonTron thing pretty funny, because the initial GG reaction to being called moronic dipshits was "we're not racist! We have black friends! How dare you imply we're bunch of white supremacists!" Which at the time I just didn't understand. Weren't most people calling them sexists? "But we do not have any weird racial views, okay?" Tron eventually going all in is pretty amusing.

Yes but how many have been defenestrated?
So damn much of Twitter's functionality was created by the actual users and then formally implemented by Twitter.
At-mentions, retweets, all by users.
Woa, I'm straight.
Though I'm surprised that the decapitation thing is only 4%. I would totally say yes to that just for the lulz.
