Es curioso que en inglés "raro" se diga "impar" (odd) como si los números impares fueran algo raro... Hay tantos como pares!

@the_heruman Si contamos los números negativos, hay un número par más que los impares: cero.

@BBustamante @the_heruman Según Britannica sí es un número par.

Últimamente mucha gente me ha dicho que si ganas la lotería, Hacienda se queda la mitad de tu dinero y te arruina.

La verdad es que Hacienda se queda un 20% de lo ganado a partir de 40.000€ y sin contarlos.

Si ganas 40.000€ en la lotería, es decir, por puro azar sin ningún esfuerzo, Hacienda se queda 0€.

Si ganas 15.000.000€, el primer premio del sorteo de hoy por poner un ejemplo, Hacienda se queda...

(15.000.000-40.000)*0,2=2.992.000€.

Te quedarían 12.008.000€.

En ese ejemplo, si has ganado más de diez millones de euros haciendo una apuesta al azar y te parece mal que el estado colecte un 20% para mantener el estado del bienestar, dejándote con dinero de sobras para arreglarte la vida; eres un puto llorica y no mereces nada.

Más si tenemos en cuenta que nadie te obliga a jugar para empezar y que la lotería es, al fin y al cabo, una vía adicional del estado para recaudar dinero desde siempre.

@mararrort Alguien ha dicho que la lotería es un impuesto a la gente que no sabe matemáticas.

I distrust the upper management at my company not because they are managers or because they are involved in politics – that's their jobs – but because I regularly catch them lying in my face without batting an eye for their own convenience.

@deshipu That's also their job.

Another thing that's funny to me is any attempt to prevent users from right clicking on an image to download it, or to highlight text to copy it. There is no way you can prevent your users from downloading your assets from your webpages, that's just not how the web works.

pointer-events: none? Covering it with a transparent div? Lol. People can edit your CSS, delete your div, or go straight to DevTools' network tab, refresh your page, and then download assets from there.

@teacherbuknoy None of those workarounds are possible with mobile browsers, though.

mansr,
@mansr@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@teacherbuknoy You are obviously right. However, for many site owners it might be enough to prevent 90% of attempts to copy material. Depends on what it is. Yes, it's all very silly.

@neil It's the top story everywhere, including Der Spiegel, El País, Al Jazeera, and South China Morning Post. There is no escape.

Let us speak of . Thirteen , a thread:

  1. Teolls are Norwegian. There are 150 texts in The Complete Norwegian Folktales and Legends of Asbjørnsen & Moe; 66 of them either feature or mention trolls. (42 of them feature or mention parsons.)

@SimonRoyHughes 14. Trolls love gold and hate iron.

@SimonRoyHughes I was thinking of the stories where a piece of iron above a door prevents a troll from entering or similar.

Given that trolls aren't real, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that the rules are inconsistent at times.

Since there are no ads on Mastodon, I am offering to advertise for any companies on here. My only requirements are:

  1. I get to write the ad.

  2. The ad will in no way accurately portray your company and might state that you were responsible for the Cuban Missile Crisis.

  3. For each post you must pay me $10,000 and write me a handwritten note that says I am your best friend.

  4. You must put out an official statement stating that you take full responsibility for the Cuban Missile Crisis.
