        I legit never heard the word sinophobia and I thought it was a trigonometry joke.

        I guess we need a joke that combines math and racism then.

        It’s the 0th cause of Indophobia?

        Sorry, didn’t mean to go off on a tangent.

          subtraction rule only allows a smaller numeral to be placed before a larger one if it is one of the following combinations: IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, or CM. The numeral ‘i’ ((1)) can only be placed before a ‘V’ ((5)) or an ‘X’ ((10)).

            That rule wasn’t always hard and fast, just as IV or XL were sometimes written as IIII or XXXX respectively. The XVIII Legion was occasionally termed XIIX, which should have been right out, but it worked well enough to inscribe in stone on a memorial and use on official calendars.

            The fundamental requirement was that People would look at it and understand what it is saying. There was no “Office of Numeral Oversight” correcting people. The norms that we may learn about are descriptive of the majority, but not strictly prescriptive for all the cases.

            If it follows the basic additive/subtractive pattern, it’s good enough.

            If you want to be a prick, write IMMMM

              Maybe the symmetry made people more likely to overlook the conventional way of writing things. Still no hard rule, but more leniency if it looks cool.

            Home made babaganoush is also amazing.

            Slice a large eggplant in half, place face down in a glass baking pan. Add a few tablespoons oil, shake salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder lightly on top. Cover with lid and bake at 375° for an hour. Till skin is shriveled and darker. You can also uncover near the end and roast it more if you like.

            Let it cool. Take each half and scrape the loose insides into a food processor, it should just all slide off the skin. Add a few cloves of garlic, some lemon juice (maybe 3 tableapoons or adjust to your tastes), then toast a layer of sesame seeds in a smaller pan 6 or 9 inch sized with a bit of oil. Stir them often because they will burn if the heat gets to them too long. Add to the food processor and blend till garlic and seeds are chopped fine. Salt and pepper to taste.

            Oh lol, I automatically assumed Chinese because that is the language I know…

            (But I mean… the Kanji is the same as the 漢字 (HanZi), its not always obvious which language is being referred to lol)

    I don’t know man, something about his damn smile is so funny to me. It’s so smug, he’s always smiling like he just absolutely knows he’s making some very rich assholes panic and I love everything about it.

      I highly doubt they’re panicking. If they’re even aware they’re perturbed at best.

        Fair, panicking was probably a bit of a stretch there. But I like how they at least burn a bunch of money on his political opponents

    I learned Arabic numerals in 1978 in preschool in Wyoming, and I never became a terrorist.
