    according to wolfram it's $( x = \dfrac{e^{3/2}}{3^{7/10} 5^{3/10}} )$

    Ultimately, every insult can be dismantled as offensive and argued against.

    Because insults are meant to be offensive. Causing offense is their point.

    I'm not saying that we shouldn't dismantle them. But really maybe just the really egregious ones, okay? I will never stop calling people slinky-faced dinklewhompers no matter what you tell me about it.

    I just call people Drez. Its the nuclear weapon of insults.

    :( that's too mean

    To those other people

    Today has been so slow at my job my wife linked me a video on the dark ages to watch. I didn't because the next time I listen to her will be the first, but you know thought that counts.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I've been looking through the post-game analyses of my matches and it looks like I have issues with the end game

    you'd think with fewer pieces on the board that would be a lot simpler! but the number of viable moves is way higher as the board opens up and i keep making critical fuck ups

    chess why you so hard

    you love trading bishops for knights too you know

    'Neckbeard' is a slur basically akin to 'retard' and people oughtn't use it.
    Huh? How do you figure?
    I don't think it's that bad but I do pretty much agree with this comic that it ought to be avoided.

    everydayfeminism.com/2016/02/neckbeard-cartoon/

    OK, that comic makes a good point and I will refrain from using Neckbeard as an insult from now on.

    I can still use fedora-wearer as an insult tho can't I??

    I've found the term neckbeard is more associated with no true scotsman and general toxicity found in most niche cultures than physical unkemptness. Often stereotypically (and anecdotally) associated with brick and mortar interactions of said niche. I wouldn't call that guy a neckbeard unless he rolled his eyes at me because I asked a relatively normal question about the thing he fetishized.

    https://youtu.be/AzRAmoKtrZg

    I am down to switch to a better word, but I think people will choose to be insulted regardless.

    Ha ha I think that video is super way off base. Making lists and charts is just the way some people enjoy themselves. Just like some people (like Randall Monroe) do data analysis for fun. I'm one of the biggest fans of Mass Effect that you'll meet (though no where near the biggest fan on these boards) to the point that I have a Mass Effect tattoo and I would agree that I do fetishize the series. I've never made a list of my favorite galaxies nor extrapolated who would make the best couple amongst my companions, not because I don't fetishize the series but because those specific things are not part of what I enjoy.

    If anything I think that video is specifically targeting people on the autism spectrum (notice the way the lady is unable to look at the guy directly), though I don't think the producers of the show knew that at the time, they were just describing "that sort of person we've all met who can't look people in the eye and has written a data map of Star Trek episodes."

    I was more going with the way she immediately took it personally and was reporting him to her supervisor and making assumptions that he would be on her side if he understood the thing.

    I see what you're saying about autism, but socially anxiety and ineptitude also exist outside the autism spectrum. Just because someone doesn't make eye contact with their bosses bosses boss doesn't mean they're autistic.

    Also I wouldn't be arguing as hard if the comic character hadn't had a goddamn ponytail because of course he has a goddamn ponytail.

    Ok sorry, I'm done ranting now.

    Oh, you poor bastard. :O

    Let us know what you think of it. I'm probably going to go see it because: 1) I'm lonely as fuck 2) I'm morbidly curious 3) I like Fassbender.

    The problem with "Neckbeard" is that is started as a term used to disparage guys for not meeting arbitrary standards of attractiveness. The neckbeard itself is most closely associated with Amish men, who do not shave their beards after marriage, but are forbidden to wear a mustache, and so intentionally grow a "neck beard". It was then applied to the stereotype of "fat guys who can only grow hair on their neck", thus encapsulating both body shaming and toxic masculinity (because for some reason volume and area of body hair growth has always been associated with general "manliness"), and only later did that stereotype become so entwined with "nerd" that the term shifted meaning.

    If you really want to call someone out for being a pedantic asshole, call them a pedantic asshole.

    one excellent point i do think the comic quid posted made is that when feminists and other progressives, specifically, use neckbeard to slam men for being misogynistic cretins with shit opinions and viewpoints

    it preeeeeeeettttttty much gives a pass to dudes like Milo fuckface

    and it leads to CNN articles about sexy young neo-nazis

    like when we associate moral decrepitude with physical ugliness, it means the pretty people who are ugly inside sneak right in there
