  • Oh, and since this seems to be the space you’re working in:

    I did use Dude in a gendered way there because I assume from your preachiness that you’re Male. Women tend to be less preachy/overexplainer in my experience. If I happen to be wrong, apologies, I’ll edit it if/once you clarify.


  • Dude, sometimes people talk in, like, a casual way and don’t attach two extra paragraphs to explain that they were using the word “god” in a gender neutral way even though it has a masculine form.

    You then writing a diatribe about it doesn’t convince anybody. And in the end it actually hurts our case because it brings to mind and reinforces that awful stereotype of the bitter, over reactive SJW.

    It’s one thing to try and be beautiful, say by putting on makeup. It’s another entirely to worship beauty so much that you inject a deadly neurotoxin into your face (often with disastrous results) for it. And this is often done by actors, literally people paid in large part for their existing beauty.

    It making them happy (which I doubt) doesn’t mean it’s safe, and doesn’t mean that they have good values.


  • Also the number of outcomes isn’t connected to the solution space reduction the way you say. If you don’t know whether the fake coin is heavier or lighter, both tilt-right and tilt-left are effectively the same result. So at least your first test really only has 2 meaningful outcomes.

    In general, you’ll only reduce your solution space DOWN TO (not by) 1/(number of distinguishable outcomes) if the possible solutions are evenly divided among those outcomes. It’s easy to have a problem where “result 1 narrows it down a lot, result 2 doesn’t tell us much”









  • Dickbutt is a fractal. Although it’s not visible at this resolution, the smaller butt-dick also has a butt, and that butt has a dick, and so on down to planck scales. We’re not sure what happens after that, but must presume that it continues, much like my uncle Fred’s racist thanksgiving rant. It starts before I get to the table and ends after it, so the only reasonable conclusion is that it continues throughout the year, and is merely an extension of last year.
