I think you missed their point actually.... rainbows were never just rainbows that you 'remember'. You miss your innocence.

At what cost?

A box of cereal is like $6 and all sugar. It will provide 3-4 bowls of cereal for that price, with no actual nutrition. If you can afford a box of cereal a day, you can live on instant noodles instead for like 3 days and have the 20 for a brand new rice cooker. Or just go to the thrift store.

Cereal is not a poor person food. It is not nutritious, cheap, or filling. It is an expensive box of sugar. I get that it can be hard to imagine conditions we haven't personally experienced, but it can't be THAT hard to do basic math and put yourself in that situation for one second to understand that eating cereal for every meal is not cheap or sustainable.

And themselves

Plenty of people actually did leave reddit, myself included. It wasn't the API tax though, that was just the beginning.....

'I don't understand so it doesn't exist'

It does though, understanding what interest is and how it works is pretty relevant. Understanding percentages and fractions is important for things like cooking too. Ever tried to build something without using any math? It's everywhere, it literally describes our world in a language that allows us to predict things as well.

I think you mixed up your left and rights, bud.

Its pretty useful information when you're converting recipes. Most measuring sets don't come with a 1/8 cup or smaller, so it's pretty helpful in the case that you end up with a small fraction of a cup.

I work in HR. Im also working on getting the fuck out of HR. Not into anything techy, though. I came here from reddit just before rif died.

'Alternative facts'

I really used reddit to lurk and scroll when I was bored. If I can't use the app I'm used to, there is no reason for me to return. Especially with the way they have been treating the community, I havent been back for about 3 weeks. I downloaded a lemmy app and put that in the same spot as rif was, and I havent looked back.
