I hope you’re right.

I have doubt, but also hope.

Just trying to explain why my comment changed, in case anyone saw it before that LOL.

McDonalds gets millions of applications? wtf?

You are refuting an argument that I did not make.

I enjoy this type of debate, but this one doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere. I’m moving on. Thank you, sincerely.

Sorry for the multiple replies btw. My app is acting weird.

“Billionaires are literally cancer” is false specifically because “literally” does not mean “figuratively”.

Correct. But that is not what OP said. Read it again and I think you will see that OP is saying that “Billionaires are cancer” is not a figurative statement at all, but a literal one. You can disagree with them (I do, btw), but they have not misused the word “literally.”

“Billionaires are literally cancer” is simply a false statement, unless “literally” was used, incorrectly, as hyperbole.

That is my point. Literally can be used correctly in a statement that is not correct, and my reading of the original post is that was OP’s intention. They did not misuse the word “literally.”

I’m not debating the meaning of the word cancer.

You are refuting an argument that I did not make.

Edit to add: OP says cancer can be used literally to refer to billionaires, you say it cannot. One of you must be wrong, but neither is misusing the word “literally.”

Then you do not understand what the word “literally” literally means.

Oooo, sick burn!! I don’t know if I’ll recover from that!

My point is that I believe OP was using the word “literally” to mean what it literally means, and not just using it for emphasis as it is so often used these days. They may still be wrong, but they did not misuse the word.

I think OP used literally correctly here. They are saying that one possible definition of the word cancer can include billionaires as an instance. That’s not the definition you’ll find in any dictionary, but those lag behind the true language as it evolves.

People think they understand numbers like billion because they understand thousand and billion is just thousand times thousand (million) times thousand. Multiplication is fairly intuitive, but exponentiation is not. Without explicitly thinking it through people feel like 1000^3 is not very different from 1000 * 3.

No one is safe.

Hell, he even floated deporting Elon.

There can’t be food deserts in 15 minute cities.

Obama is one of the “good guys,” not because he opposes Trump, but because he cares about what’s legal.

As fun as this is to fantasize about, it would actually be illegal.

Thanks for the clarification. TIL!

Enrichment means that they bring in some material with some amount of radioactivity, and they separate it into portions with more radioactivity and less radioactivity. At any given time materials with all three levels of radioactivity would be there, and could be released by a bombing.

*Three levels is a gross simplification, of course.
