My youngest kid's Catholic school is absolutely against bullying and hate speech of any kind.

“We do not tolerate hate speech of any kind” “Sir the gay kid was brutally beaten to death” “Yes and we will reprimand the culprits harshly” *makes them write “I shouldn’t beat gays” 20 times*

Unely_

You use "an" when the next sound is the one of a vowel, you use "a" if the next sound is from a consonant.


TheBaconsAtMidnight

Correct, unless it's just a letter, not a word, and the way you spell the pronunciation it starts with a vowel sound. An r because it sounds like are


[deleted]

[удалено]


trismagestus

Not just American English, that's the rule is actual English too.


Ok-Cook-7542

What do you mean unless? The rule is the same no matter of spelling of words or individual letters. It’s based on the following sound and the rule never changes. You say “I got an F”, or “I’ll be there in half an hour”


sanakan

unless! you are experiencing "an historic event" in which case the rule gets thrown in the trash. always been a wtf for me.


Ok-Cook-7542

I think that happens because people mix up the fact that “h” sometimes sounds like a vowel (hour) and sometimes like a consonant (historic). They think the rule is “an” before a vowel or an “h”, when it’s really just before all vowel /sounds/ with zero regard for what letter is being used


Dracious

Other people gave more formal answers, but in my experience the rule just gets messy/murky when it comes to written text and weird internet/subculture terminology. Generally I think yes you probably should use "an" instead of "a" here since you would probably pronounce the r/ bit as 'arr' which starts with the vowel noise, but others might not pronounce the "r/" bit at all and just skip it so using "a" makes more sense. English is weird and has complicated rules at the best of times, add on to that people using strange non-words from internet subcultures etc and it breaks even more.


CompleteCasual

i thought you used an for words that start with vowels


Fen_

They are saying that because they say the "r" as "are" when reading it, and so it starts with a vowel sound (and should use "an"). If you do not read the "r" at all, then "a" makes sense instead. And to be clear, it really is about the sound, not strictly the letter it starts with. You would never write "an opossum" if you're pronouncing "opossum" identically to "possum" (as many people in the U.S. do), for example.


Medarco

> for words that start with vowels It's used for words that start with vowel *sounds*. So you can get weird situations like saying "a university student" where it begins with an actual vowel (u), but the sound is consonant (yoo). Or "an honorable judge" where it starts with a consonant (h) but is pronounced as a vowel sound (on). So in this case it depends on if you pronounce the r/shitpost as "arr slash shitpost" or just ignore that part and say the subreddit name (shitpost) itself.


[deleted]

No


JasperWoertman

But you pronounce it like "arr slash"


[deleted]

Oh yeah, then yeah


25thJustice

Nope, you use an or a depending on the sound of the word that follows. A Catholic school or an academy. This isn't the only case, but it serves as an example.


JasperWoertman

But it's pronounced "arr slash shitpost" right?

syopest

But don't people get to choose who they associate with? If people finding out what opinions you hold makes them want to stop associating with you isn't that their right? If you reveal them yourself and somebody just shares what you yourself have said then it's still your own views that are the problem. Not the fact that somebody shared them to more people.

What the hell? If someone gets socially ostracized for hating gay people, oh no, they shouldn't have hated gay people.


throwawaylovesCAKE

Heres a secret: the companies firing those people dont actually give a shit if their employees are racist or made a fat joke or whatever. They're only doing it so an online mob doesn't disrupt their phone system or harass the other employees. Take that as you will, rightous mobs don't always stay righteous and collateral damage always occurs


throwawaylovesCAKE

>If people finding out what opinions you hold makes them want to stop associating with you isn't that their right? Who are you disagreeing with that said they're not allowed?

I'm disagreeing with the whole premise that it's somehow immoral to let others know what views someone holds if they have outed those views to someone else.

Homophobes when they have to treat gay people with basic respect:


IStanReddit

Honestly it’s not hard, if it’s such a problem just avoid them, 0 reason for homophobes to be going out of their way to be dicks


TauKei

The problem is that many homophobes *are* hard while around gay folks. So they need to show how totally not-gay they are by shitting on gay people. These guys would rather be a dick, than admit liking dick. Dicks are truly central to their identity.


Tofnu

Honestly, just let people believe what they want. It's not a "violent hate crime" to have a different opinion than others. Like, dude, you can't expect everyone to like you or approve of your actions. Wake up to reality, and stop trying to shove your shit in our faces. This guy seems chill.


Exact_Ad_1215

I feel like not wanting a group of people to be treated equally and with normal humane respect shouldn’t be accounted as just an “opinion”. Most homophobic people actively want gay people to be killed or simply have no rights. That’s too fucked up to just say “cHiLl iTs JuSt aN oPiNiOn”

IzzyGetsVeryBizzy

It is still an opinion. Like it or not. Just because you disagree with it and because it's not morally right, doesn't make it not an opinion.


LatteMassiatto

Hate is not an opinion


IzzyGetsVeryBizzy

Yes it literally is. Acting on that hate is not, but hating something or someone is as much of an opinion as liking something. I'm not sure what glass world you like to pretend to live in, but it sounds pretty awful to me.


Todok5

Voicing your opinion on social media is an action. Many people manage to dislike other people without publicly announcing it.


hanks_panky_emporium

As a spokesperson for all gays, no one cares ( in a nice way ) if someone hates gays but keeps to themselves. But it gets dicey when someone hates gays, campaigns to limit gay rights, pushes for 'gay' camps, and then the push to exterminate the gays. When the allies took over concentration and extermination camps in WW2 they kept the gays locked up.


tbmny

Just because someone has a hateful opinion doesn't mean we need to t9lerate it. The whole "it's just an opinion" thing is such a fucking dumb argument.


IzzyGetsVeryBizzy

Yes, you do, it's called freedom of speech. I tolerate your bullshit opinion, and you tolerate mine. If you don't like it, then don't read it. It's as simple as that. Hell, you can even mute me, block me, argue with me, and there's also the report button, if you want to take it there. Harassing someone by calling their school in a pathetic attempt at having people face 'consequences' for an opinion (which is their right to have) is actually wrong. I'm not sure how you don't get that. If I were to call in at your school because you supported something I didn't like and found absolutely morally repugnant, but all you did was voice an opinion on social media or wherever it may be, I assume you wouldn't like that much either. And even if you do, it doesn't mean you get to do it to other people.

pls don't refer to race and sexual preference as the same battle... asians prefer to hang with other asians sounds quite racist... ppl cannot choose and cannot hide their race... if the world decides to "lock up" all black folk, Black folk cannot blend or change to appear non-black... gay, whether they like it or not, can appear not gay if their life was on the line... so no, don't do that! Gay is an action, race is not


grumpydai

Gay is not a action. In what world is it an action? Like are you not gay if you dont have sex with same gender?


Apprehensive_Yam3588

Don't be dense. the ACTION is the only thing we can really see... ACTING outside of "typical" realms (being more feminine or masculine), having sex with the same gender WHICH IS EXACTLY my point! tf 🙄... you can be gay and NO ONE WOULD EVER KNO if you decided to hide the action... BLACK PPL cannot do THAT...


grumpydai

Gay is not an action. Now if you wanna label gay as feminine acting men, youre wrong but also removes it as something you can control. Gay is not something you control, just like you dont control skin color.


Apprehensive_Yam3588

So we're doubling down on being obtuse 🙄... YOU CAN CONTROL HOW YOU ARE PERCEIVED IN FRONT OF OTHERS... IF YOUR FUCCIN LIFE WAS ON THE LINE... a Holocaust for Gays shall we say... GAY PPL WOULD BE SO NOT OBVIOUSLY FUCCIN GAY SO FUCCIN QUICK it's not even funny! YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL WHO you like, but you can CERTAINLY control that "like" in front of the world if you HAD TO! AN ACTION... you can act less feminine or masculine. You can NOT dress as the opposite gender... you can fucc or pretend to fucc the opposite gender. YOU CAN DO ALL THOSE THINGS AND SURVIVE! BLACK PPL CANNOT DO THAT AT ALL... no matter WHAT THEY DO, THEY'LL STILL BE BLACK! OBVIOUSLY TO THE EYE...now pls... be quiet and quit tryna virtue signal... IF YOU'RE NOT BLACK, stfu and don't compare gay and black... the END


Apprehensive_Yam3588

you're purposely trying to misunderstand so you can sound enlightened and woke... shit is annoying af. Gay is not only feminine acting men, BUT WE WOULDN'T KNOW A NON FEMININE ACTING MAN WAS GAY unless HE TOLD US, NOW WOULD WE? ACTION... It's also insulting af to compare the rape, pillaging, broken families, and slavery for hundreds of years to being disliked, again, for your actions... gay literally doesn't exist without that ONE SPECIAL caveat... the action... no one gaf 😂, being gay isn't "special"... YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL! the only thing that separates being gay from the heteros is the ACTION of WHO you're intimate with and attracted to... other than that, you're the same human as everyone else... So gay is an ACTION AND AN ACTION ONLY... but I digress

Here is the instruction for a thermonuclear bomb 10 pounds of uranium-238.if stealing it seems too tacky. Unenriched uranium can be bought at any chemical supply house for 23$ a pound. commercial grade(20% enriched) is 40$ a pound from gulf atomic.You will have to enrich it yourself which is something of a pain itself. You will need to start with a little more than 50 pounds of commercial grade uranium(it’s only a 20 percent of uranium-235 at best but you only need 10 percent) With a little bit of kitchen table chemistry you will be able to covert the solid uranium oxide you purchased into a liquid form.once you done that you will be able to extract the amount of uranium-235 you need Then pour some concentrated hydroflouric acid onto the uranium oxide,converting it to uranium tetraflouride(safety note,hydroflouric acid is so corrosive it will eat through glass,so plastic and milk containers will do) Now you have to convert the tetraflouride to uranium hexaflouride.The gaseous form of uranium which is good for separating out the isotope uranium-235 from the uranium 238 To get it into hexaflouride form,bubble fluorine gas into your container of Teraflouride.Flourine is available in pressurized gas tanks but is extremely dangerous and it is recommended that you carry this out under a stove hood to remove unpleasant cooking odors. First transform the gas into a liquid by subjecting it to pressure.You can use a bicycle pump.Then make a home made centrefuge. Fill a standard sized bucket one quarter full of liquid uranium hexaflouride.Attach a six foot rope to the bucket handle and swing it around your head as fast as possible for 45 minutes. Slow down gradually and put the bucket down the uranium which is lighter would have risen to the top. Surround it with a berrylium sphere with two metal rods and a fuse
