60 Is A Very Round Number

 I noticed this connection as I was waking up this morning:

62/2 = 31

63/3 = 21

64/4 = 16

65/5 = 13

66/6 = 11

Is there any other sequence of 5 consecutive numbers, such that 2-6 will go into them evenly?  The reason it works is that 60 can be divided evenly by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.  Then you take the remainder and apportion the extra 1 to 30, 20, 15, 12 and 10.

Not Everyone

 But most people are mathematically illiterate (innumerate).

People Talk About This As If It's Real

 From the AI:

Gender identity is a person's internal sense of their gender, which can be male, female, or something elseIt can also be described as a person's sense of being a woman, a man, both, neither, or anywhere along the gender spectrum

Maybe some people have this, I don't.  I don't have some internal sense of my gender, I am a man and I recognize this because it happens to be true.  I have an internal sense of being but it isn't gendered, it's just existence and awareness.  It's tempting to call the whole concept a myth, but I can be charitable and trust that some people report having such an identity.  By it's nature, it cannot be measured in any way other than asking a person if they have such an "identity".  And who knows, on reflection, maybe most people are like me.

If I woke up one fine morning and was a woman, I would start thinking of myself as a woman.  There have been 62 years of life as a male and so I certainly would have to learn a lot about navigating the new reality.  I might not like the situation but would recognize that it was, in fact, the situation.

What are they getting at?

 I didn't want to click onto the ad to find out, but is the picture suggesting, "you can do this instead", where "this" is "become an escort"?

Girls Got 'The Sads" the Boys Don't

 And that makes it even worse!

Most of the boys wanted Trump to win.  Should they mope around and pretend to be sad, as a way to cheer-up the girls?   Would the girls pretend to be sad if Harris won, to cheer-up the boys?

If this was a fancy East coast private school, maybe a majority of the boys <i>wanted Harris to win</i> and were also disappointed.  This would give them even less reason to performatively comfort the girls.  They've got their own crosses to bear.
