Shit are you not aware that this is a real thing, that you always ask the person to weigh all the shit together if they can That weighing them separately (and rounding by a bit each time) and then summing them is a way to fuck you over

Obviously not on a matter of whole pounds or kilos, but every little bit adds up, that's why they use a small scale and do a bunch of weighings Man no one ever actually taught you to shop at a street market huh

1) Your example is still more extreme than reality (actual scales). 2) we’re talking about people understanding the meaning of || || and ||||. Which you’re taking issue with.

Well, I am stating that people do understand that meaning, it doesn't actually need to be "taught" in any meaningful way, and that people talking about complications or reframings of those symbols are doing something important and useful you stubbornly refuse to understand

People interested in reframing symbols because they supposedly have a colonialist bent of some sort are interested in doing something other than something “important.”

The way I would phrase it is that stuff like not being aware you have to weigh all your purchases together because even a fair scale is imprecise and leads to rounding is a minor issue The big society-wide biases like a colonial and imperial mindset are a major issue

Minor issues tend to be simpler and major issues tend to be more complex But the general awareness that shit is complicated and that there's no simple, "neutral" set of symbols that serves as a crystal-clear conduit for truth is VERY IMPORTANT

Shared undeserved is VERY IMPORTANT and it’s a good thing that I can have confidence that when I order two pizzas I get this many: 0 0

And do you genuinely believe the concept of the number two is under serious threat

You’re coming up with various arguments for questioning a basic shared understanding of number two, so oddly enough, apparently.

If your "basic understanding" is so fragile it can apparently be shattered by a slightly less basic understanding then you don't actually understand anything

This entire root system of threads is an amazing example of how stupid anyone insisting things only be considered in their most basic conceptualization really are.
