if you guys didn't get it the number 5 is the numerical value for the roman numeral V.

true, but the magic of labels is to be reductive by nature

maybe we need better labels ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You probably have a good basis to criticize categories. If they are overextended, they cease to be useful, just as analogies taken too far lose their use.

Part of the problem, I think (could be wrong) is that gov't can't look at individuals...they have to look at groups and make policy based on that - yes, there ARE exceptions, but the policy should be for the majority.

Take, for instance, the craziness about the gender thing.... Truly, it affects less than 3% of the population. It's not something that gov't should even be involved with.

But people nowadays are too quick to dismiss useful categories. One of the arguments why gender is supposed to be fluent or a social construct is because there are grey zones or transitions between them. But so there are transitions between red and blue.

Red and blue are categories. They categorize a section of the visible spectrum of light into a category that makes it easy to communicate. Everybody knows what you mean when you say "red" or "blue".

Yet, there are transitions and gradients between red and blue. There is purple, for example.

Does that therefor mean that red and blue do not exist?
Does it mean that the categories red and blue are useless?

inb4 ian miles gets banned for hate speech

Hey

I am surprised Ian Miles Cheong has been on Twitter as long as he has been.

Look at this fucking idiot

Who’s that?

I wanna know

Elfwick had been banned way before him, and he had always been more careful about his satire than Ian even.

white people

amirite

"lass and not a cuck"

Eh, that's silly. You already paid for it. It's good ice cream. Eat it.

tbh that guy is probably a troll

did he just describe a male? but the title is female

I can appreciate the gesture, though.

let's buy some more ice cream so we can throw it out

this will fucking show them

^

That's actually how some boycotts are run nowadays.

you might as well eat it

@Timcast Ben and Jerry’s is expensive and by golly I really like the really chocolatey and red velvet flavors so these idiots going around tossing this expensive ice cream in the trash make me sick. You sir, have rattled my chains.

the beauty about not giving a shit is being able to buy all these amazing products within the free market and enjoying them regardless of which shit ideology brand they follow

(pls give thumbs up to my boycott facebook photos)

Yes, Ben & Jerry's is tasty. Also, I even still like Colbert. He is one of the least unfunny of the lefty comedians.

I don't even like ice cream

their ice cream is *not* worth the price

I watched him too long. I guess I am kind of attached to Colbert. It's one of the few leftist habits I still hang on to.

Colbert was only funny on the colbert report. At least then he attempted to understand right wing positions.

I don’t like jimmy Fallon’s flavor
