It’s ambiguous as to if the day or month is first.
Not if everyone is using it, as they should.
Besides, so is is yours. 2024.06.07 could be the 7th of June or (if you’re an American and thus used to the months and days being in an illogical order) 6th of July.
As for writing out the month names, that’s no longer shorthand. That’s just taking more time and space than necessary.
if I ask if you’re free on “the 15th of March” vs “March 15”, the first example is slightly jarring for your brain to interpret
Sounds like you’re just used to it being said the opposite (read: wrong) way. If you told someone in my country March 15th, it would be just as jarring to the listener.
at first it hears “15th” and starts processing all the 15ths it’s aware of, then “March” to finally clarify which month the 15th is referencing.
not in daily use. When you ask someone “what day is it today?”, they usually have a handle on what month it is and just need the day. For making plans, it’s only if you make them way in advance that you need the month first, which would be sorting and scheduling, not daily use.
The Democrats proposed a bill that gave the Republicans exactly what they wanted, and they turned it down. Made them look like goddamn idiots.
Also made the Dems look like heartless hypocrites for suggesting Republican style laws that demonize and abuse asylum seekers and other immigrants while doing nothing constructive about the problems they’re pretending to address, though…
I’m always told that conservatives are “good with money” and “fiscally responsible”, which Ive learned means “good with transferring public money into private coffers”.
That’s because conservativism is inherently authoritarian: for all their talk of hating “elites”, they think that the obscenely rich economic elite all got so rich by merit alone and as such are better stewards of wealth than those who don’t needlessly hoard it.
In the mind of a conservative, the most fiscally responsible thing to do is thus always to increase the dragon’s hoards of billionaires and profiteering corporations.
Yeah I know. I’m not advocating to not vote for the lesser evil. I’m saying that it would be swell to have a non-evil option on the general election ballot who’s not an independent for the first time since before I was born 41 years ago…
Currently debating whether to switch to one of my non-.world accounts for the first time in months to see if people from there and Lemmygrad have descended on this yet lol
There’s some real doozies too, including one user (calling herself LesbianLiberty while simping for a regime that doesn’t allow same sex marriage or have any anti-discrimination laws that protect LGBTQ+ people) claiming that ALL Chinese people have seen the photo and 95% approve of the government 😂
I’m pretty sure that there’s no significant group of people who are 95% in agreement on ANYTHING, let alone 95% of 1.4b people agreeing that a totalitarian regime is doing a good job 😂
Heart disease kills several orders of magnitude more people than extradimensional demons or psychopathic clowns.
And if you factor in politicians, you have psychopatic clowns killing millions by passing policy that objectively helps keep those heart disease numbers up!
Trans fats and sugar are more addictive than many if not most recreational drugs.
Add that there’s a lot of food deserts where healthy food simply isn’t available or at the very least isn’t within the price range of the people who live there and you can stfu with your victim blaming disease shaming “personal responsibility” bullshit.
