Well you see, *it's actually a spectrum...*
Chad mods over at the pro gun subreddit.
Lol
Gravity isn't the sole reason we have atmospheric pressure. The actual reason we have significant atmospheric pressure on the surface is that the Sun warms the atmosphere, giving the mass of gas internal energy to deal with, and gravity holds it down. It's the tug-of-war that makes pressure, not just gravity.
No sun, no pressure.
No gravity, no pressure.
Heat does matter but even if it was uniform there would still be atmospheric pressure.
Wait, when you put it like that it's as if income inequality isn't a bad thing and you're a massive idiot if you complain about people being rich instead of people being poor.
Hmmm. I think it is saying "You're an idiot if you think putting the coaches kid on your NBA team is a bad thing."
That metaphor makes even less sense.
Not related, just saw it, thought it was funny
As long as youre part of the elite, who cares how many poor people there are.
How do you equate "doesn't make sense" with "I oppose this"
I'm confused, not enranged.
*enraged
I dont understand your original statement about income equality. Can you rephrase?
The height comic is a metaphor about how income inequality doesn't actually make people poorer, isn't it?
It makes a good point that preschoolers aren't short because NBA players are tall.
In light of that anyone acting like unfairness is a bigger problem than poverty seems unwise.
You could look at it that way. I look at it like the NBA now has a bunch of cute tots on their team and La-bron is going out dribble them.
Because the comic pretends the team doesn't have the function or care for the kids. The comic actually says if that NBA team is now tested under game conditions with its new tots, they are super screwed.
This comic is saying be careful, even a single tot on your team can screw you in the conditions presented, let alone a schoolful.
The comic isn't really in the context of a basket ball game though.
They're just hanging out in a room at a cocktail party or something.
I don't get any indication that the comic is talking about a shared purpose.
Then it isn't an allegory of a functioning society presented in the first 2 panels is it?
The comic is saying if a country is a functioning NBA team then when a ton of immigrants show up it goes from a functioning NBA team to a bunch of guys at a cocktail party and not doing NBA stuff I guess?
You're really caught up on there being a team.
I think NBA players is just used to mean "tall people"
Since they're an extreme outlier that isn't controversal.
It works if they're a bunch of players from different teams.
Your conclusions might be right, but I'm just saying they're not drawn from the comic.
