In the US, cents would be written similar to a fraction. A small number with a line under. The "100" under the line being implied. Eventually the line just fell off, and it became commonplace that cents are either after a decimal, or the smaller number.

    Oh. That is truly the dumbest most asinine logic I've ever heard. (Them not you ofc)

    Thanks for the input.

    Also, thats just fundamentally not how socializing works with humans. I mean yeah, your environment can impart traits on you. But it can also not. Like, I grew up in the south. Lots of racism. Lots of homophobia and bigotry. Im not a fan of hating on people of a lesser minority, and definitely believe anybody should be comfortable in their own skin and love who they love.

    Also, you can easily 'resocialize'. Ask literally anybody if they have a friend who started dating someone they didnt like, and if that friend started to act like their partner. Then ask if they broke up if they went back to normal.
