This is a primary source, baby! That’s gonna be gold in 120 years!

I think you’d be surprised how many people here share your interests. You may not be able to scroll through an album of other people’s projects relevant to your hobby right now, but I bet you can post to a more general community with a very specific question (or show off your own project) and get a good amount of engagement and feedback, maybe even with broader perspective than you might get in a subreddit with an established “meta” for your hobby.

I’d like to see us really embrace the improv mantra of “yes, and”. Agreement is great, but add something before you go. Upvote and comment.

Yeah, I’m happy for AI to take this particular horrifying job from us. Chances are it will be overtuned (too strict), but if there’s a reasonable appeals process I could see it saving a lot of people the trauma of having to regularly view the worst humanity has to offer without major drawbacks.

Before Avril, we called it rollerboarding. The boards were considerably larger and you would propel yourself along with a long pole, like a gondola. Only the wealthy could afford true rollerboards, however, we would make our own with scrap wood. I had one that was a modified old door that I had attached bicycle wheels to the sides of. That board would FLY down hills but you needed the whole neighborhood to pull the damn thing back up again.

We’ll call it Brenda: Home for the Holidays

How many times have you repeated this process? Why was one flayed dick not enough?

It’s actually fine to do multiplication before division, you just have to be sure about which numbers are intended to be included in the divisor of your fraction!

I’m a scientist and I’ve only ever encountered strong juxtaposition in quick scribbles where everyone knows the equation already. Normally we’re very careful to use fraction notation (or parentheses) when there’s any possibility of ambiguity. I read the equation and was shocked that anyone would get an answer other than 9.

I originally had the same reasoning but came to the opposite conclusion. Multiplication and division have the same precedence, so I read the operations from left to right unless noted otherwise with parentheses. Thus:

6/2=3

3(1+2)=9

For me to read the whole of 2(1+2) as the denominator in a fraction I would expect it to be isolated in parentheses: 6/(2(1+2)).

Reading the blog post, I understand the ambiguity now, but i’m still fascinated that we had the same criticism (no parentheses implies intent) but had opposite conclusions.

Great write up! The answer is use parentheses or fractions and stop wasting everyone’s time 😅

It’s not making fun of suicide. It’s not glorifying it or making it seem like a good thing. It’s poking fun at Guy Feieri, and how he loves flavor so much he’d season a bullet even in the depths of despair. Taking suicide seriously is a prerequisite to enjoying the joke.

Being exposed to triggering material sucks, and I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you can get to a place where you’re comfortable engaging with humor around this topic some day!

Microsoft shall be owned by all!

Whales are more closely related to trout than trout are to sharks. If both trout and sharks are fish, then so are whales (and humans). Phylogenetics, baby!

Dammit, now I’m craving seven corndogs!

Yeah, each state has their own clusters of crazy. You can’t judge all of a state on a single rep. Boebert is from Colorado, for example. I definitely want my podunk buttfuck neighbors to be less idiotic in their choices, but the state as a whole is voting for the right people.

No kink shame, but very concerned kink questions.

You shouldn’t be trying to taste the back of my molars, honey. Calm down.
