I think it's done that way so that a black and white version would still be readable.

Still?!

Academic journals charge for colour printing. Hundreds of pounds if you want colour figures.

I mean, nobody will ever actually read the printed version but techically your figures should be legible there.

I meant it can't "still" be readable in B&W because it isn't readable in color

Seriously though what the hell would "conservative liberals" be? Other than just a fancy way of saying centrist.

Yeah it's not exactly a persuasive argument either way, but it would have much better internal logic if both of the same-sex ones had both partners on one side of the see-saw. I guess gay people have a wider variance in weight for some reason?

Regardless, it's a bad chart because (1) it doesn't put conservatives anywhere (I guess you can either lump them in with Founding Fathers or Hitler depending on how you feel) and (2) there appears to be a Y axis and you can kind of guess the ones higher up are supposed to be better (because Founding Fathers!), but it's unclear. Also it makes it look like the Constitution is one step away from anarchy.

In a similar vein, this is what a literacy test black people had to pass to vote in the Jim Crow era South looked like. This particular one was 30 questions in total, this is just the first page.



The questions were deliberately vague so the examiner could fail anyone they wanted (all black people).

Holy crap :aaa:. I mean, I'm not sure why I'm surprised. But drat.


Also: I'm particularly struck by the arbitrary parenthetical, "one inside (engulfed by) the other"

Somewhere on YouTube is an old film from some Canadian homemaking show or something that is from the early 60's. It has a lady with a strong Canadian accent telling how today we'll be making a new dish called "pizza pie". One of the hard to find ingredients is mozzarella cheese, so you can use a mild cheddar or American as a substitute. You can also leave out the oregano from the tomato paste if the flavor is too strong.

:discourse:

And thus, southern pizza was born.

Really, it amazes me how people offer all these crazy theories about how New York water must be the secret to their pizza being better. Then you find out they're literally just putting tomato sauce and mozzarella on dough. Oregano, you fools! :argh:
(And a little parmesan too)

The Beatle graph mostly makes sense, but it really confused me at first because I thought the vertical positions of the Beatle heads corresponded to the different sets of bars.

Some stadium got successfully sued once because their "small" and "large" beers were actually both the same amount, but the "large" cup was taller (and thinner).

Chocolate covered quinoa is surprisingly not bad, assuming you like Nestle’s Crunch bars. It’s like those but with a better grade of chocolate.

That makes lots of sense, but it does seem like a waste of quinoa when rice works perfectly fine and is way easier to come by.
