[languid marten]

I mean all of the stuff on internet is not bad , I wouldn't mind 13 olds watching Ted-ed , khan academy, etc., but yeah most of it is (you have to search for good content , while on the other hand bs is thrown at your face all the time)

[fiery fable]

the issue has to do with the internet raising the child isntead of the parent. a child needs parental interactions for a healthy development. Being glued to a screen isnt good. But the internet is a fantastic tool when used right

curiosity is mischievous. im sure we are all familiar with the darker side of the internet

[languid marten]

yeah, I agree but sadly parents themselves gets glued to screens all day , how can they have meaningful interactions with their kids.

[fiery fable]

yup.

very sad

[languid marten]

I feel we are heading towards a internet (cyber) dystopia , or upto some extent we are currently in one

[fiery fable]

it will be intresting.

at leas there will be a booming industry for phycologists in the near future

[languid marten]

yeah, I agree

[upbeat shore]

You better start believing in internet (cyber) dystopias ClimateRope....

[languid marten]

hmm, I guess I need some fresh air now , going for a walk might help, and one more thing do you troll everyone (serious question) ?

[upbeat shore]

Only when I'm bored (always).

[remote hornet]

the kids call it technofeudalism

[woven whale]

does that mean if I get a PhD I'll be allowed to shitpost

[eager reef]

[neat lintel]

andrew tate fan

[regal night]

who's that?

[neat lintel]

He's the Top G

He says shit like this

DEPRESSION ISN'T REAL

DEPRESSION IS A STATE OF MIND

[regal night]

I see. Some wannabe philosopher guy?

I absolutely hate self-help/motivational speakers.

[neat lintel]

wannabe philosopher + boxing champion + massive douchebag

[regal night]

Should've stayed in boxing then.

[neat lintel]

Yes

[regal night]

I see why one would want to ban a fan of his.

[neat lintel]

i wonder if he's out of prison yet

Like he isn't that bad

[regal night]

wow he went to prison? o .o wht for?

[neat lintel]

but the romanian government threw him in prison based on zero evidence

Alleged human trafficking

but again with no evidence

[regal night]

hm. clearly outside of my scope of discussion.

Discussion 2 has nothing but facts rn

[torn willow]

Is that why shapiro destroyed his liberal car

[limber saffron]

Yeah, I want to find a way to make beautiful ornamental flooring
But keep it cheap enough for ordinary people to afford

I'm hoping that cheap materials, and lots of labour intensive refining of those materials could balance out to create a beautiful affordable floor

[next forge]

Btw, in tilings with rectangular tiles, what do you think are the most effective dimensions for a single tile? 2:1 seems the most popular

[limber saffron]

2 length
1 width?

[next forge]

Is that a question or an answer?

[limber saffron]

A question

[next forge]

Yes thats what I mean

I see those on sidewalks all the time

[limber saffron]

2 by 1 is just a very versatile shape
2 x 2by1 makes a square

And if you put two 1 length edges side by side
They equal 2

It's pretty difficult to go wrong when all the dimensions of that rectangle fit together well

[next forge]

Makes sense

Ugh I cant send pictures here

[limber saffron]

Yeah, some shapes just fit together better than others

[next forge]

Can I send you via DM?

[limber saffron]

Sure, or we could move to #chill
You can post images there

[next forge]

Okay!

[delicate dock]

konikoni

[little vine]

He's bragged before about his modus operandi for manipulating women into doing sex work for his gain, and it's consistent with the 'loverboy method' of trafficking. So there's not zero evidence.

[upbeat shore]

With no evidence except for 5 women testifying against him smh my head this is pc madness run amok tbh

Everyone knows that women are not valid witnesses unless their testimony can be corroborated by a male relative

[deep mango]

Btw, denying allegations from victims of sexual violence is A. really not a good thing to do in real life and B. completely disallowed on this server. Don't continue to argue this or you will be banned, not kidding around

[torn willow]

This is within their power

So the police are right to suspect him

[neat lintel]

Not the Governmet (Executive), the Judges (Legislative) decided to hold them under arrest

Not Prison, that's where you go after a sentence is griven, after you are convicted of a crime; but in jail where you can be held wile a case is investigated

[remote hornet]

most likely the tates are guilty

im witholding full judgement untill hearing the trial

[remote hornet]

his own statements are enough to incriminate him lol

his best case is to argue that he was playing a character

for his fans

[remote hornet]

stop virtue signaling ryc, are the tates most likely guilty, yes. doesnt mean you need to put all your chips into the take that youre socially pressured into

[deep mango]

oh don't worry about me lasha, i'm one of the people doing the social pressuring

[echo tundra]

what does virtue signalling mean?

[deep mango]

it sort of means pretending that you have the moral high ground on something so that you look good to other people

[remote hornet]

yea its like saying something to give out the message "look guys im one of the good guys just like you, accept me"

[deep mango]

hard to imagine that someone might actually just believe what they're saying i guess!

[tiny saddle]

[remote hornet]

the wording you used seems like clear virtue signaling

[tiny saddle]

huh

[deep mango]

i'm a mod, so i've had to say the same thing a dozen times before. sorry if it sounds packaged

[remote hornet]

i accept your apology

[tight comet]

im so edgy i hate humans omg

[deep mango]

anyway, my take probably isn't as austere as you would assume: i think it's very silly to be like "uhhhh witness testimony isn't evidence! what if they're trying to ruin him!" instead of just letting the relevant legal proceedings make decisions on these things

[remote hornet]

i agree

[deep mango]

i don't see any reason to form opinions on this in one way or another. i do see a reason for compassion towards people who are victims of crimes, that's what i think is important.

[remote hornet]

are you serious, or is that an imitation of me

[tight comet]

it's virtue signalling

[remote hornet]

are you trying to say, i am virtue signaling? or?

[echo tundra]

In that case it didn't feel like virtue signalling to me. It was an opinion at best and a mod abuse at worst

[echo tundra]

wait, do reserve mods have the same power as mods?

[tight comet]

what mod abuse

[deep mango]

umm, we have the same permissions but not the same like, level in the role hierarchy

so a mod could remove my reserve mod

but i can't remove mod from anyone

or reserve mod from anyone

[echo tundra]

*potential mod abuse (could have sounded like a bit threatening to some people)

ah, so like demi mods lol

[tight comet]

I think threatening people who do wrong seems right

[echo tundra]

never disagreed to that

[deep mango]

we have a pretty strict policy about just auto banning tate simps so i let that dude off, but i see what you mean

[echo tundra]

ah, okay. That was a TIL for me

[tight comet]

I mean I don't think there's any need to single them out. They tend to have views not allowed on this server

[tight comet]

And will reveal them when probed

[deep mango]

it does expedite the process though

[echo tundra]

I mean expressing extremist views and hatred towards any particular group is doing an any% getting banned speedrun

[little vine]

Save the animals

[upbeat shore]

@still brambleods

[vocal vessel]

From themselves 😱

[vast surge]

From eachother

[velvet dagger]

From ryc

[fathom swallow]

can i be "budget ryc"?

[remote hornet]

what if you express extremism towards those that you deem extreme?

you gain no brownie points for tolerating your friends

you gain brownie points for tolerating those you dont like

[echo tundra]

What does brownie points mean?

[remote hornet]

like points in terms of, you deserve praise for it

[echo tundra]

I tolerate them cause they are tolerate me, it's mutual. I don't remember getting praise for it lol

Like you don't need to be praised for basic human decency

[remote hornet]

you dont need to get praise for something to be praise worthy

[violet wraith]

ignore this, i moved to #math-discussion

[remote hornet]

my point is you should tolerate those you dont like

[echo tundra]

Nah

Nope

[remote hornet]

so progressives should tolerate conservatives for example and vice versa

[echo tundra]

Lol no

[remote hornet]

then youre not actually being tolerant

[violet wraith]

^^^

[echo tundra]

Sure

[remote hornet]

which is fine if you accept that

[echo tundra]

No issues

[violet wraith]

genuine question for numbpy, why do you not tolerate those who have differing opinions than you? is this just with regards to politics or more than just politics?

[remote hornet]

tolerating your friends is not praise worthy

[echo tundra]

I obviously do tolerate quite a bit, I can go on a long explanation on it but it's shorter to say I am not tolerant

[violet wraith]

hmm ok

[echo tundra]

And avoid further discussion

[vast surge]

I hope you mean, like, you're not tolerant of racists and conservatives and stuff like that. Not that you're intolerant of lgbtq+ neurodivergent folk or whatever.

[violet wraith]

why is intolerance of a political group okay to you zorn

[vast surge]

Because some political groups advocate strongly for my death.

[remote hornet]

why shouldnt you tolerate conservatives

[violet wraith]

why your death

[vast surge]

Because I'm a queer half-Jewish person

[violet wraith]

i dont believe a conservative talking point is that you should die

[echo tundra]

Yes that's what I meant. I can't tolerate extreme hate opinions on some particular group. Particularly when they don't even have a proper argument.

[violet wraith]

or anyone for that matter

sure it can be an alt right talking point but not the average conservative

[vast surge]

Ron DeSantis has recently tried to push laws: (a) recognizing trans adults and doctors who give trans-affirming care to trans children as sex offenders, (b) giving sex offenders the death penalty.

[remote hornet]

the majority of conservatives are not anti semitic, and these days, homosexuality is like accepted among many conservatives, but even if they werent, it is one thing to dislike an opinion and its another to tolerate it

[violet wraith]

oh i see

[vast surge]

r/enlightenedcentrism

[remote hornet]

actually yes, i double down on that

im an enlightened centrist lol

also im not full centrist i lean towards left

but people should be a bit more center imo

[fiery fable]

I think they are in he right to be intolerant of the group. The average conservative might not be bad and they might actually have a common ground but it’s the party they vote for which is the isssue. A political group that tries to restrict voting rights, abortion, do nothing about gun control, implement religion into there politics, looks down on trans people and refuse to treat there problems as human problems is enough of a reason to be intolerant. If these groups are intolerant to me why can’t I be intolerant to them

[vast surge]

Tolerating intolerance only allows that intolerance to grow.

[vocal vessel]

Being expected to tolerate the intolerant is silly. Arguing that is pointless.

[echo tundra]

I think I used to identify with central maybe a bit liberal leaning. These days I don't really care cause the whole political compass seems very rigid.

[remote hornet]

you guys are not actually tolerant, youre just tolerant to your friends

which is not praise worthy

[fiery fable]

😭

[echo tundra]

My existence doesn't depend on praise, I do it cause it's a good thing to do.

[fiery fable]

You got that gotcha mentality. Spend your day on discord thinking you can determine someone’s entire personality because of a single thing they said

[remote hornet]

when did i say it did or should, being praise worthy has nothing to do with getting praise

[vocal vessel]

I’ll tolerate anyone until they actually say something hateful toward a specific group of people

[vast surge]

(a) My intolerance is thinking bigots should shut the fuck up. Bigots intolerance is wanting people to die. There's a difference.
(b) I'm tolerant of anyone who doesn't want to crack down on minority rights. Unfortunately, that excludes a large portion of the population now.

[remote hornet]

if someone were to type in chat "kill x race" would it not be okay for me to assume they are racist?

[vast surge]

You know what I'm not doing paradox of tolerance in discussy 2 today

[fiery fable]

Again your supporting evidence is always some extreme thing

[echo tundra]

'which is not praise worthy' - your words seem to imply that. My bad if that was not the intent

[languid marten]

Yeah ,they are racist and you gotta kick them out of the server , lol

[remote hornet]

a) no you are strawmanning them, it is equivalent if they were to say progressives just wants violence look at antifa and look at the riots in 2021

[vast surge]

I think antifa wasn't violent enough.

[remote hornet]

true!

[remote hornet]

forgot this server is full of extremists

[vast surge]

If the left can actually grow a spine and stand up for our beliefs maybe we can stop the fascist takeover of America that's been happening slowly since the Bush/Cheney years

[vocal vessel]

“Give bigots a chance” bs is not something I’ll ever subscribe to. Sorry.

[fiery fable]

That’s a little far

[remote hornet]

thats not what i said but okay

[vast surge]

I'd argue that I don't quite constitute the definition of an extremist but sure

[vast surge]

.

[remote hornet]

nazies would say the same

[vast surge]

Contemporary conservatism is intrinsically linked with racism, homophobia and transphobia.

[vast surge]

Sure. The difference is that Nazis want to kill people based on their race, sexual orientation, etc. and I want nazis to shut up so that people aren't killed based on their race, sexual orientation, etc.

[remote hornet]

antifa wants to kill people because their friends tell them they are racist without actually looking into it

[vocal vessel]

If someone says they’re conservative I usually give them the benefit of the doubt until they say something terrible about a minority. I believe there are open minded people who identify as conservative without being horrible monsters like some of the more extreme conservatives

[vast surge]

You know what this is getting out of hand. <@&268886789983436800>. I'm not engaging in this conversation any longer, this is getting quite heated.

[fiery fable]

Dam

[remote hornet]

nice

[vocal vessel]

But the moment anyone calls into question the humanity of a trans person… there’s no “tolerating” them anymore

[echo tundra]

Isn't there some law which says that any conservation which goes long enough, someone will be called a nazi?

Ah yes, Godwin's law

[remote hornet]

nothing wrong with godwins law

godwins law isnt a falacy

[leaden torrent]

I'm tired of these months of behaviour intentionally straddling the edges of respectable discourse and the server rules

We banned meaty for this shit

If you regularly think that someone would probably ban you if they misinterpreted you, maybe you should stop toeing the fucking line so hard

[remote hornet]

nami, im not "straddling the edges", i feel like any form of disagreement is interpreted as that

[velvet dagger]

Nah

This isn't "any form of disagreement"

[remote hornet]

like tell me a political disagreement i can have with you that wont be interpreted as that?

[fiery fable]

Why is it so hard to admit that sometimes your in the wrong. How u view your opinions and statement arnt the same as others. You should be mindful on how u might come across

[echo tundra]

Lasha and his judgements lmfaoo

[velvet dagger]

Lasha a lot of convos involve disagreements, you're the gcd of all these convos that seem to go down the drain for some reason or other

[remote hornet]

I think its more so that for some reason 90% of the people in this server have exactly the same political opinions

[leaden torrent]

Casually state that the people you're in a convo with are extremists and virtue signalling, and imply that theyre okay with white genocide

But no this totally ain't line straddling

Respectable discourse!!!

[remote hornet]

i never said anythjng about white genocide

i think

[leaden torrent]

.

[remote hornet]

i dont believe in white genocide

[fiery fable]

Just mute him in all the discussions instead of banning him

He gonna do this again anyway

[hazy elm]

hi guys

[leaden torrent]

This is bad tho

Let's not make vague calls for violence

I'm sure you have a precise sense in which you meant this but out of context it's just a blank cheque to commit political violence

[remote hornet]

that was not about white genocide, so he was accusing me of "judging people by a single comment", so i gave him an example of where he would also judge someone by a single comment, that had nothing to do with white genocide the x isnt supposed to be substituted with white specifically

[vast surge]

Yeah that's valid.

[vast surge]

And yeah, it was both a bit tongue-in-cheek and had a more precise meaning in my head, but I see how it reads that way. Sorry.

[remote hornet]

i dont think there is something wrong with me calling people extremists, especially if they loosely throw around the word themselves and bigots etc aswell

but sure if you want me to calm down on that aspect specifically

ill accept that

on calling people names

[velvet dagger]

The problem is we shouldn't have had to have this convo with you already

[leaden torrent]

Was anyone in this convo called a bigot?

I didn't see that

But I saw you calling people in the convo extremists

There's a difference between talking about groups abstractly and talking about the person you're engaging with directly

[remote hornet]

"bigot" was mentioned no one was called a bigot

[vast surge]

I think that might be an interpolation of something I said. When I was called intolerant I said "I'm intolerant of bigotry" or "I'm intolerant of bigots" or something.

[remote hornet]

but i was told to "shut the fuck up"

[velvet dagger]

The message was "my intolerance is thinking bgitos should shut the fuck up"

So yeah it sounds like you're the first person here who starts throwing targeted insults

And this is a pattern with you

[fiery fable]

The disagreement seemed to start when you made a tangent that would invoke pushback anyway

[remote hornet]

i couldve sworn i was also specifically told to stfu im looking for it

[velvet dagger]

Uh huh yeah

Look if you're consistently misunderstanding people

As insulting you

And then using that as your license to fight back

Guess what

You're still the problem

[fiery fable]

It was this comment

[remote hornet]

lets say you are right, i dont think "extremist" and "virtue signaling" are necessarily like insults more like me pointing something out about what i think they are engaging it, i said "especially if they are also throwing around those words" but even if they weren't i dont think the words i used were necessarily like bad faith or whatever you would call it

[leaden torrent]

idk lasha to me it just seems like you come into convos with the assumption that people won't want to hear you out no matter what you say

which like, if this server is as lefty brainrotted as you claim, maybe thats true

but then why do you even try to engage

[remote hornet]

because i dont like seeing people in a bubble circle jerking each other

so hopefully i plant a seed of nuance

into them

ig

[fiery fable]

Your digging yourself in a hole lasha. You could have just said “I’m sorry, this is your server and your right” and then followed their advice

[remote hornet]

or potentially

[velvet dagger]

Again there are ways of having disagreement here which make more or less sense. For example regarding the conversation about tolerance, someone says "Yeah I don't tolerate people that don't have specifically anti-minority takes"

[remote hornet]

they convince me

[alpine copper]

mafs

[vast surge]

mathematique

[velvet dagger]

If you had continued that by saying, I'm not sure I buy the idea that everyone under the conservative label is the type who cracks down on minority rights

Then maybe you could've had a convo

[remote hornet]

so you think when i say "strawmanning" that is too aggressive?

[alpine copper]

Funnily enough, you'll probably find more conservatives in minority communities.

[velvet dagger]

Also when there was a discussion of tolerance of intolerance, you immediately jumped to "Oh so you guys only tolerate your friends"

And someone points out that you're making fast conclusions, then you're like "Well uh if I said kill x race wouldn't it be fair to immediately conclude racism?"

[neat lintel]

Well say something like "Isn't that a Strawman? :/ :3" be smart, use emojies as rhetorical devices @-@

[velvet dagger]

LIke come the fuck on my guy those two situations are not analogous and you know it

Tzara shut up this is a serious convo

[neat lintel]

Ok ok

[remote hornet]

my point was that the statements i read were enough to draw that conclusion

in the same way as in the example i gave

[velvet dagger]

Those were obviously not similar

And it reflects quite badly on you if you think they are

[remote hornet]

i think they are

[velvet dagger]

And then the virtue signaling call that ended up being wrong. And then at another point you're calling people lame for their takes. etc etc etc

Like

[remote hornet]

i said their take was lame, not them personally

[velvet dagger]

You have no sense of polite disagreement

And how to actually conduct yourself reasonably in these situations

You're a button pusher

[velvet dagger]

Still you're using charged language where it's not necessary

[remote hornet]

i can behave the way you expect me to behave, i think the way ive behaved would be considered polite enough amongst other groups.

[remote hornet]

this is just me and you having a different standard of conduct

[velvet dagger]

It's called we have a reasonable standard and you have a bad one. Unfortunately the fact that we even got to this point makes me question if you're worth having around

[remote hornet]

i dont think either is unreasonable in this case

in the case of calling someones argument lame, i dont think that is impolite

and i think this is a reasonable opinion

[vast surge]

I think some of the misunderstandings/miscommunications might be because I remember Lasha at one point mentioning that English was a second language

[remote hornet]

it is a second language zorn, but i wouldnt use that excuse

[fiery fable]

Sigh

[vast surge]

That's fair. I don't know how fluent you are etc.

[remote hornet]

im fluent

[proud elk]

Hi fluent I'm dad

[fiery fable]

If you were to use it as an excuse then it would be the right time to do so

[velvet dagger]

Mr. Keating just don't

[remote hornet]

im not disingenuous

i know english equally well as any other language i know

in the case with the calling someone argument lame, i dont think that is unreasonably, and i think many would agree with me, but some wouldnt

[velvet dagger]

You have too much history of taking convos in a bad direction because you're just pushing buttons and being inflammatory. And rather than self-reflect on why this is the case, your first instinct was to double down and say it must be homogeneity in server politics (which isn't a thing, except in matters such as minority rights where... it's supposed to be). Rationalize as much as you want, you're the gcd here of these troubles.

So as a result we're knocking you off temporarily. I suggest you re-evaluate how you go about things

[echo tundra]

Is he nuked?

[neat lintel]

Thoughts on pod living?

[vast surge]

Try to avoid getting Invasion of the Body Snatchers-ed.

[neat lintel]

Thinking of living in a pod hotel in NY

unsure which one would be best.

[surreal sapphire]

why would you "live" like this

[tight comet]

Cost?

[surreal sapphire]

capitalism

[neat lintel]

Nah I just don’t wanna clean

[surreal sapphire]

reconsider

[neat lintel]

Bro I think it’s not a bad idea

I can put all of my spare money into index funds.

I also plan on working like 10 11 hours everyda so only need it to sleep.

[surreal sapphire]

^

[vast surge]

That sounds like hell.

[neat lintel]

It’s banking

[vast surge]

I feel sorry for you.

[neat lintel]

No bro it’s really good and worth doing. I am starting at high 6 figures

[vast surge]

Then get somewhere nice to live jesus fucking christ

I'm getting an apartment and I'm starting at 21k as a grad student

[neat lintel]

I hate cleaning and cooking.

Job will provide meals

[neat lintel]

Damn

[solid snow]

do you have "hiring cleaners" type of money

[vast surge]

I don't. He said he's making high 6 figures

[vast surge]

Not a nice apartment, like a really cheap place, and I'll have roommates

[tight comet]

high 6 isn't really 'hiring cleaners' IMO either

And especially not at NYC

[vast surge]

Still beats being a pod person

[neat lintel]

Yeah ik. Starting at about 230

[solid snow]

Yo can you put in a good word for me

[vast surge]

High 6 isn't live-in maid money, but you can definitely afford to hire someone to come by once a week for a few hours

High 6 figures is a lot of money

[neat lintel]

I hate people who say pod person. Bro it’s a really efficient way to live

[vast surge]

Bro being a slave to efficiency is a really miserable way to live

[tight comet]

ok true

[solid snow]

I mean do you not expect to do anything in your home?

[neat lintel]

Nah all I want is a bed no furniture ideally

[solid snow]

Like have people over, watch tv, play games, etc?

[neat lintel]

Bro I get distracted when I see furniture

I don’t have any friends

[vast surge]

Are you okay?

Do you have hobbies?

[neat lintel]

Nah I mean I do but I prefer solitude it helps me focus

[solid snow]

Sigma grindset

[neat lintel]

Yeah I like to read on my kindle and meditate.

[vast surge]

Do you have, you know, clothes? Somewhere to put laundry? etc.

I live in a tiny dorm room barely better than a pod and I hate it

[neat lintel]

Why?

[vast surge]

It's claustrophobic. I can't fit all my books and a laundry basket and a bottle of wine and my yarn for knitting.

That's not that much stuff

If you want to have any time to yourself you need a place you can be in by yourself

[neat lintel]

I don’t like physical books not efficient. And alcohol is cringe

[vast surge]

"physical books are not efficient" until the battery dies

[neat lintel]

Idk bro. If I could ideally I wouldn’t even eat food only like human kibble

[solid snow]

Why O_O

[neat lintel]

Food taste really cringe to me. Takes too long to eat too

[solid snow]

how can food taste cringe

[neat lintel]

Bro you have to chew it and swallow

[vast surge]

Actually that's fair. I have bad sensory issues when it comes to taste and mostly just eat bread and cheese.

[vast surge]

Uh

[solid snow]

i don't understand how this is a response to my question

[neat lintel]

Bro food taste so bad

[solid snow]

What type of food do you eat

[vast surge]

What do you eat?

[solid snow]

That usually affects that

[neat lintel]

I only eat chips and ramen right now

[vast surge]

Well that would explain it

I'd say "eat better food", but you'd say "bro that's not efficient", right?

[solid snow]

I find it highly improbably that all food tastes bad to you, we're hardwired to enjoy food

[neat lintel]

I usually eat around 8 pm. A bag of chips everyday

[vast surge]

2000 calories of chips each day are all you eat?

[neat lintel]

Nah just a bag of chips and one ramen cup.

[solid snow]

you may want to seek therapy. i'm not a licensed professional but it sounds like you're denying yourself basic human comforts for some reason

[neat lintel]

i read the rules and it said nothing on posting gifs. but i had heard someone say it wasnt allowed. Does anyone know?

[little vine]

You can in #chill

[fiery fable]

Bet

[neon tundra]

Image posting is disabled in the discussion channels for members who don't have one of the activity-based roles. It used to be enables, but we had to turn it off because it was abused by trolls.

[fiery fable]

That makes sense. Thank you

[neat lintel]

how does one get that role?

[upbeat shore]

How do you get one of the activity based roles is your question?

[neat lintel]

Yeh

The blue one

[neon tundra]

They're assigned automatically by the bot based on how active you are in the server.

[meager sonnet]

hence activity

LOL

[rocky shuttle]

I want a role based on how much you lurk in the server

this was a screen i drew the path through to help myself 😭 part 1 of 3. blue arrows are the direction of gravity

[chilly hull]

i spent like 3 hours and 30 minutes on

deep blue

[deep mango]

oh yeah deep blue was very hard

[chilly hull]

there was this one really NASTY section with 3 dash crystals

[deep mango]

yes

[chilly hull]

i was shouting in my room when i finished that section

[deep mango]

lol

well this is me finishing that

[zealous garden]

based! I see the video is getting around

[chilly hull]

where did my

first 6a victory screenshot go

also i skipped yellow intermediates to do deep blue lmao

i went from doing fifth dimension sea of soup and 1 other green int

and then jumped right into deep blue for giggles

[deep mango]

i did not like sea of soup

i liked fifth dimension though

[chilly hull]

sea of soup was kinda ok

paint is in its own tier for obvious reasons

[rocky shuttle]

My only source for GA apart from you (though I initially subscribed because of the dango profile)

[chilly hull]

beginner lobby was a complete banger

[deep mango]

[chilly hull]

its so PRETTY

gameplay wasnt mindblowing but GOD it was such a treat to play

[zealous garden]

Did you see his YouTube short about the law of cosines

https://youtube.com/shorts/VkOFNMuqtRo

[rocky shuttle]

Yes, just a while ago, actually

[zealous garden]

I can now admit that I could never remember the law of cosines

Because I'll never forget it now

So simple

I was talking to him, or more aptly lurking while he talked, in the bivector discord

He seemed pretty disappointed to find out the GP isn't continuous in infinite dimensional spaces

[deep mango]

I am making my tierlist

[vast surge]

Fun fact: When I play D&D instead of homework I'm actually doing advanced math guys, according to the rules the world of D&D is clearly locally isometric to $L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{3})$

[fathom swallow]

Zorn's Lemon

[zealous garden]

I don't know if that's right

We use Euclidean distance in all the campaigns I'm in

[zealous garden]

While I'm sure this result is true, it's even quite intuitive, I can't help but think it's because something is defined wrongly along the way

Or more accurately, that the wrong thing is being attempted

[rocky shuttle]

What's the reason? How is it intuitive?

[chilly hull]

paint in C

[deep mango]

i did not like paint

when you die the music pauses so that the game elements can keep going at the same rate

i would much rather the music stay the same and the game elements shift period to match

[chilly hull]

the visuals were

22/10 though

[deep mango]

nothing more jarring and frustrating than dying at the wrong time in paint

it was the prettiest level probably

[chilly hull]

also seeing is believing is fun with friends

[deep mango]

besides square the circle (which you will do)

[chilly hull]

i already did square the circle

[deep mango]

yeah i did that alone

[chilly hull]

that level SLAPPED

[deep mango]

that one was so good

[chilly hull]

i think im gonna move it up a tier

the movement was exciting

[deep mango]

i also think Undergrowth is gorgeous, in the advanced lobby

[vast surge]

The rules as-written say that 1 square diagonally is 5 feet, as is 1 square vertically/horizontally

[deep mango]

spherical geometry dnd

[chilly hull]

i should probably finish EAT GIRL

[zealous garden]

So the first issue is why are you using square maps instead of hex maps, the second issue is playing by the rules

[chilly hull]

that level is also pretty good

[zealous garden]

All the fun stuff happens outside of the rules and regulations

[deep mango]

i love eat girl. it's so weird

[zealous garden]

Like Nat20 meaning instant success

That's not in the rule book

[vast surge]

I don't like this rule.

It's probably the worst common homerule

[zealous garden]

THAT'S LIKE ONE OF THE BEST PARTS

[chilly hull]

yeah

its such a weird level

[zealous garden]

If the DM doesn't want to give you a chance of success, don't give you the roll

If you're going to let me roll, there better be a chance of success

[deep mango]

Of the weird levels it's one of the better ones

I mean I didn't rate dropzle that poorly but...

[zealous garden]

Logically then, if there is a chance of success, nat20 (being the best possible roll) will succeed

[chilly hull]

i like

fast and exciting levels

there isnt much more things that are satisfying compared to just

[vast surge]

(a) Sometimes the DM wants to make it seem like there's a chance of success.
(b) Sometimes something is attainable for the person with a +9 but not the one with a -1 in that stat.

[chilly hull]

zooming across a level

[deep mango]

WOW you didn't like a gift from the stars

that level was very puzzley and screwed with my brain

[chilly hull]

i want to

[zealous garden]

hmmm sounds like a call for the DM to make, not the rule book

[deep mango]

but i did enjoy it

[chilly hull]

zoom across levels

not do a puzzle

[zealous garden]

that's why it's not in the rule book

[chilly hull]

i already fry my brain when i do math please do not throw me more puzzle maps

[zealous garden]

and the vast majority of DMs agree on the nat20 = success call

[vast surge]

The vast majority of DMs also seem to think that it's an official rule

I stopped playing with it once I found out that it's not an official rule

[zealous garden]

to steal sudgy's post:

after claiming it was intuitive, I now find it hard to word the intuition I felt yesterday when this was being discussed

but it has to do with the observation of how the GP can split multivectors into so many parts of different grades

You can further improve it with I_1 = e1, I_2 = e2345, I_3 = e4567, I_4 = e6789, etc., but I'm not sure how to get the result for eight dimensions
And these are still all lower bounds

• Sudgy

[rocky shuttle]

Hmm okay

[zealous garden]

but maybe I'm deluding myself with the claim of it being intuitive, falling into some traps

[echo tundra]

Is this celeste?

[echo tundra]

what game is this? looks pretty

[static loom]

I don't think I ever learned how to compute the norm of something that's not a blade, how do you calculate |A_n|?

in order to be consistent, I suppose I could define the norm to be the sum of norms of the multivector's constituent blades, but that doesn't quite smell right to me

[fiery fable]

Celeste

[chilly hull]

celeste

[zealous garden]

The standard method atm is $\langle A A^\dagger \rangle$

[fathom swallow]

wraithlord_kommutator

[zealous garden]

The scalar part of the multivector times its reversion

Starting in 6 dimensions you get more and more objects that don't square to scalars, so either a new method or selecting the scalar part becomes necessary. This is an obstacle to working with exponents and logs, assuming I've interpreted that half of the paper I read correctly

[zealous garden]

err, the sqrt of this

hi i suck at maths kms

[fiery fable]

thats obvious because of my statement above

[woven whale]

watch your language

[oblique oxide]

bruh what

[rain charm]

@oblique oxide I think what @woven whale meant was that the abbreviation that you chose to use could potentially trigger a negative response in someone. A lot of people in the math world tie their self-worth to their mathematical competency, and can really feel down when they feel like they aren't living up to their expectations. People's value as human beings is independent of their mathematical abilities, but try to be a little more compassionate to the people who may be really effected when they take what you say more seriously than you intended

But please correct me if i'm wrong @woven whale - I don't want to put words into your mouth

Can u tell me what the formula of finding the X in the square root of the cube root of the polygon

[faint sparrow]

Huh!

[nova ingot]

guys

here's my mindmap about " les triangles semblables " in french

Chapitre : Les triangles semblables

1. Que sont les sommets et les côtés homologues? :

• Deux sommets sont homologues, c'est-à-dire correspondants entre eux si leurs angles ont la même mesure.
• Deux côtés sont homologues s'ils s'opposent à deux angles homologues.
• Il existe un rapport de proportionnalité entre eux dans les triangles semblables.

2. Comment détermine-t-on si deux triangles sont semblables? :

• Deux triangles sont semblables entre eux s'il ont des angles deux à deux égaux (de la même valeur )
• En connaissant la valeur de deux angles d'un triangle, on peut toujours calculer le troisième avec la formule suivante : angle C = 180° - angle A - angle B

3. Qu'est-ce qu'un triangle semblable? :

• Un triangle semblable est un triangle qui a la même forme qu'un autre triangle, mais qui peut être de taille différente. Les angles des triangles semblables ont les mêmes mesures et les côtés sont proportionnels.
• Quand deux triangles sont semblables (homologues), l'un peut être l'agrandissement de l'autre.
• Dire que deux triangles sont semblables revient à dire que les longueurs des côtés de l'un sont proportionnelles aux longueurs des côtés de l'autre.

maybe GPT too if you're that desperate

As I’ve said before. The math module is written in C by more clever people than you or I, and therefor will have better performance than anything you may write in pure python.

i had had a project about electro magnetic photons mass and i wasnt successful to calculate anything but at all,

chat gpt would say einstein relativity theory says theyve got mass :/

but the trouble was that relativity says photon doesnt have mass at all

cuz its speed (c)

E=mc^2 is just useful for fixed objects ...

[upbeat shore]

They don’t have rest mass

E = mc^2 is the formula for the energy of a massive particle in a frame of reference where it’s at rest

The real formula is E = sqrt((pc)^2 + (mc^2)^2) where m is rest mass and p is four momentum

For a photon this is E = h-bar \omega where \omega is frequency

[acoustic schooner]

I just wanted to share this with you. The way I see people online being against self study, saying that you cannot learn on your own, is really annoying me. Sure, having a great teacher has no substitute, but still, you can pickup any textbook of mathematics, and assuming you have the necessary prerequisites, start studying that textbook. Therefore, it is obvious that learning can be achieved from self studying. I really think that most people against self study tried it on their own and they did not have a 'correct' method, and thus did not get any good results, so concluded that you cannot learn at your own, which is ridiculous.

[fiery fable]

school is dead. teach yourself. its an invaluable skill to be able to work through a textbook on your own.

[desert parcel]

school is not dead... just paying 100k for it is to get a job typing in a spreadsheet all day is...

[rich kernel]

ever dream about math, such that you are finding a solution to a complex math problem.

then you wake up and all the the "logic" fades away and all you really remember is nonsensical math

[little vine]

Yes

A couple times though I woke up with something new to try

[rich kernel]

I gotta put a notepad next to me for when I wake up

[rich kernel]

which subject?

[little vine]

One time was Linear algebra. Forget what exercise though

[little vine]

This week I had one about finding the galois group, I dreamed the gas station down the street had strange hours and I was trying to compute the pattern using algebra. Didn't wake up with the answer

[rich kernel]

I'd rather dream about Tetris

[little vine]

I used to be good at tetris

Have played in a while

[rich kernel]

classic nes or the modern stuff?

[little vine]

Tetris worlds for ps2

You can kinda cheat in the version though

Because it will give you a few seconds to set down the piece if you keep rotating it

So when the blocks get high you get precious milliseconds to think

[rich kernel]

I think I played the gba port of tetris worlds.

all tetris games have their quirks

[little vine]

Yeah I also played nullpomino

[rich kernel]

if I wanna beat my high score in any of them though, I need to study the math behind keeping a stable board

[little vine]

My strategy was to create an empty column for the stick, but then block it when I'm confident I can clear it out again on time

I'd be interested in any math too

[rich kernel]

I never burn, it seems like a waste despite that building high will kill me

[little vine]

Dr Mario and kirby avalanche

Also a good time

Wario's woods

[rich kernel]

aren't those 3 the same game effectively?

[little vine]

No

They're all falling things puzzle games

But the rules are a little different

[rich kernel]

dr. mario is fine, I think I find puyo puyo better

[little vine]

Actually Dr Mario and kirby are pretty similar

In that the blocks are two colored

I guess kirby is like a cross between DM and tetris

Puyo puyo looks just like kirby

I never played it though

[rich kernel]

I'll have to try avalanche. thiugh it might be based on puyo iirc

[rich kernel]

there's theory for tetris. that the optimal board state is flat and that where pieces lie in an axis make the board state harder to flatten/solve.
parity I think is the term

[little vine]

It does look really similar. It's also called robitnik bean machine for Sega. Same game

[little vine]

That's cool

[rich kernel]

in modern tetris games where the pieces are random, but guaranteed every few batches. you can have infinite patterns that keep the board in the same field shape, but requires maneuvering.

in the classic games where pieces aren't guaranteed, you have to build without knowing a piece can solve the shape you want. it's risky, but rewarding

[little vine]

Wild. It makes me want to play

[rich kernel]

a mix between, prabability and geometry

https://harddrop.com/wiki/Parity

^if you wanna look at the theory and configurations

[little vine]

Holy shit

[rich kernel]

I personally like looking at how pieces can fit together to form squares or rectangles so perfectly

[little vine]

It's satisfying yeah

[rich kernel]

ever see the triangle version btw?

[little vine]

No

Looks hard

[rich kernel]

yep, I'm not touching that game, tetris is enough

I want to take notes on my computer, but I’m having issues drawing the diagrams for one of my classes. Currently I’m drawing out vectors with autocad but its a pain and slow/cumbersome. What do you guys use?

[surreal sapphire]

maybe you can check https://castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-2/

[timid flame]

I will try that out, thanks!

[buoyant oracle]

Good night linear algebra nerds

If you can ( don’t have to ) I have a survey on gun control for my school project! It would be wonderful if some of y’all did it

[shell cave]

wait this is insanely useful

[charred stirrup]

I think you mention helpers?

[tiny saddle]

Either thar or u just wait it out

[sonic vine]

seven times a two digit number is equal to four times the number obtained by reversing the order of the digits .sum of the digits is 3 find the number ..

can any pls solve

hello

[chrome marsh]

@shadow lance what did you mean by this?
#help-2 message

An image between i and i+epsilon??

[shadow lance]

Oh, I think I mistranslated the term

[chrome marsh]

What is your original language?

[shadow lance]

Spanish

[chrome marsh]

hola

[shadow lance]

Jajajaja, qué sorpresa

[chrome marsh]

Entiendo español, pero no puedo hablarlo

[shadow lance]

By image I meant the function evaluated at some value or set

[chrome marsh]

Eres de latinoamérica o españa_

This is a strange property of infimums that I was not familiar with

fwiw, there's a much easier proof

It uses more basic properties of infimum

[shadow lance]

Nice, mind to share?

[chrome marsh]

yeah

hold on

[shadow lance]

That property I used was the very first thing we studied when suprema and infima were introduced

[chrome marsh]

We learned two things about infimum: It is a lower bound of a set, it is greater than or equal to all other lower bounds

[shadow lance]

It's possible that I explained it terribly wrong though

[shadow lance]

Very cool proof

[shadow lance]

Let A be a subset of R with a lower bound. Let i be inf A. Since i is the greatest lower bound, anything above is not a lower bound. Let eps > 0. Then there is x in A such that i <= x < i + eps, because i+eps is not a lower bound.

[chrome marsh]

Ah I see

[uncut socket]

@lilac obsidian
You should ignore them and let them do it on their own, they're just being lazy tbh

[lilac obsidian]

yea i wasn't gonna type after that lol

[uncut socket]

@lilac obsidian Actually in UK, and maybe a lot of countries in Europe, they say maths

Just saying that maths is technically correct in places that isn't the US

[lilac obsidian]

yea i was joking, thats why i deleted

[lilac obsidian]

could u help me with my "geometry/trigonometry proof problem" in the help forum ?

[uncut socket]

Sorry wish I could but I was never good at proofs myself

[lilac obsidian]

ok 😦

[cold rivet]

can someone else here not b L bozo and answer my entropy question

does entropy increase because of the statistical chance that order is rare, or is disorder even more probable because of entropy

[rose tiger]

Hey, I have a Surface Book with a pen and I'm looking for note-taking software. For me it is important that there are several A4 pages, not like OneNote. Just like a real college block. I want to be able to convert my notes to PDF and print them out. What are you using?

[open aspen]

are goodnotes available on that device

[subtle oxide]

can u prove pitago theorem?

[cold rivet]

what is pitago?

[subtle oxide]

pitagoers...

[cold rivet]

pita goers?

i like pita bread

[subtle oxide]

im not good at english

[cold rivet]

pythagorus

are you turkish?

[cold rivet]

and yes we can prove it

not me, though.

[little vine]

Yes Greeks are definitely pita goers. Nom.

[deft echo]

Hi, how do you get to a level where you can read original math research papers? Or is it pretty much inaccessible if you don't take grad level courses?

[rain charm]

@deft echo depends on subject area heavily

[deft echo]

ah

then maybe papers about analysis or algebra?

i don't really know much of math other than calculus and linear algebra so maybe it's a stretch for me

but I'd still like to be able to know what's going on in terms of the cutting edge you know?

[upbeat shore]

math is huge

no one is capable of understanding what is going on in all areas "at the cutting edge"

the thing to do is to study at a university to get a broad background so you have the toolkit to understand basic mathematics (this will bring you up to the 1900's or 1930's in most fields, the exact date depending on your program), then pick a specialist area that you're interested in and read the important results (or summaries of them) from the last 100 years to bring yourself up to speed in that field

it is very hard to do and beyond most people

[tight comet]

sorry to burst your bubble but cutting edge is very hard

[deft echo]

ah i see

[upbeat shore]

but with perseverance anyone is capable of getting there

making an original contribution is harder

[tight comet]

you might not have enough time on Earth

to even reach cutting edge

[neat lintel]

Leonaidis

[upbeat shore]

I think to be able to understand some fraction of the newest research in a given area of math is within anyone's reach

[tight comet]

well sure...

[upbeat shore]

at the very least something like combinatorics requires almost no background

[deft echo]

hmm

well so i wouldn't say i'm interested exclusively in learning about the cutting edge per se

[tight comet]

you are more likely to be able to understand results

[neat lintel]

Thapos theory e girl

[tight comet]

than actual theorems

[deft echo]

wait so is there a way to sort of learn what research feels like?

like constructing a theory and stuff like that

[upbeat shore]

the first thing to do is to get educated!

[deft echo]

ah i see

makes sense

[upbeat shore]

that's different from just wanting to comprehend research

[tight comet]

Are you in a math program?

get in a math program and do REUs

[deft echo]

nah i'm in hs lol

[upbeat shore]

the feeling of what "doing research feels like" is just like the feeling of creating anything difficult in any field

[deft echo]

true

[upbeat shore]

but you could just try to think actively about the things you're learning

[tight comet]

some science research is just doing steps your advisor told you to

[upbeat shore]

ask yourself questions and don't look up the answers

try to work on them

[rain charm]

This is why I asked which area 😛

[tight comet]

but yes, true research should come from questions and answers you generate

goes for every proper research (i.e. not just math)

[upbeat shore]

I think all good mathematicians spent a lot of time trying to think actively and ask their own questions while they were learning

so it's good for many reasons

[deft echo]

alright thanks

i'll try that

[upbeat shore]

don't just accept the things you read in books, try to struggle with it on your own and go outside the curriculum

find your own proofs for results that you know are "true" but don't know why

[deft echo]

sure

[upbeat shore]

you can start doing that even as a teenager

[tight comet]

ngl that's so idealistic

[upbeat shore]

and it's not too different from what research is like, although the flavor of the modern math research env has changed a lot since more countries are rich enough to produce good mathematicians and since the internet

[deft echo]

interesting

[upbeat shore]

what is?

[tight comet]

doing math

there are a lot of obstacles

like school

[tiny saddle]

cough cough

[upbeat shore]

i dunno schools often aren't that hard for people who end up working in mathematics, and some people make do with very nonstandard forms of education

if you have enough time and mental discipline you don't really need any kind of formal education, but I think that's beyond most people

[tight comet]

The issue is with DraK's often-described teachers

who will crush interests

and all deviance from norm

that's just the school being school part. There's also the 'need to eat to not die' part

[upbeat shore]

at some point you have to be self-motivated if you want to do mathematics
