this seems reasonable to me. how many pieces of rice are you guys trying to fry at a time? you really don’t need more than 30 to fill up a spoon.

if there’s nothing that crows have and you don’t, does that not make you a superset of crows? that would be pretty cool i think

- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
the movie felt like a version of american psycho that took itself way too seriously and tried to romanticize the “troubled and disturbed vigilante” trope. having a bit more humor would have gone a long way i think. i’m not saying the movie should have been a comedy or anything, but something like the business card scene from american psycho would have helped. something to show that the movie wasn’t taking itself so seriously. the movie just feels like watching them point at this guy and say “whoa he’s pretty fucked up and twisted isn’t he? aren’t the streets so dirty and messy and full of crime? and he’s really messed up and he doesn’t like the grimy city.”
it felt like the whole point of the movie was just to say “this is the day to day life of somebody who is messed up in the head, and by the way, we’re going to try to make him look really cool and jaded”, but that’s not exactly a novel concept. i didn’t gain anything from that. if they wanted to show a jaded and disturbed character, i think it would have been better to have a bit of a plot, and to make it so that more things actually happened in the movie

i couldn’t even finish the french dispatch. i watched it for what felt like 3 hours, only to find out 45 minutes had passed. there was no way i was going to suffer through another hour. i liked some of the other wes anderson movies i’ve seen, but the french dispatch was torture.

maybe giving him the nobel prize for literature was the committee’s way of saying he should have just been a writer
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
exactly how i feel about it too. the 5 minute long segment that was just nature footage with weird visual filters was also particularly hard to watch.
i also found the whole obelisk thing super repetitive. i was hoping that they would go into more detail about the obelisks, and explore the topic more. but it ended up feeling like they were asking the question “what’s a list of weird times and places where we could put an obelisk”, and that was the extent of it.
- Comment on I thought it was an easy question ... 1 week ago:
i wonder what the inverse of the letters in the english alphabet are. since it has 26 letters, we know that some letters won’t have inverses. i wonder which letters don’t have inverses. i guess it would be pretty easy to find out if you use the standard alphabet ordering and then port the alphabet over to ℤ/26ℤ, but that’s not a particularly satisfying answer.

i can sympathize with this. i also didn’t like many of the tarantino movies that i’ve seen for similar reasons. the feet stuff also doesn’t help his case.

yeah cohomology can be particularly rough. look on the bright side though, at least you now have the tools to answer this question:

taxi driver felt like it was asking the question “what if we made a movie where nothing happens?”. and apparently, if you make the main character “disturbed” enough, the answer is that the movie becomes one of the greatest films of all time.

i also wasn’t very impressed by chinatown. i remember feeling like i spent the whole time waiting for the movie to “start”, and then it ended
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
thank you! i also couldn’t stand that movie. watching oppenheimer felt like watching a 3 hour trailer for oppenheimer. i can’t understand nolan’s refusal to let a scene last for more than 1 minute

exactly!
and i am always in favor of counting with fingers. we were given them for a reason, might as well make the most of them. counting is hard enough as it is

i was in a group call with 6 mathematicians, and it came time to order our names in the paper we were writing. in math papers, the names are always ordered alphabetically. we had to pull up a picture of the alphabet because none of us could remember which way the letters are ordered.

- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
it makes sense to me. if the movie was supposed to be about climate change, why wouldn’t they make it about climate change?
is that something people do? make a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification?

i feel like it’s much harder when you finish a movie, and you hate it, and then find out it’s one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time. this was my experience watching taxi driver. to this day, i have not been able to find a single other person who disliked that movie as much as i did

ah true. i missed the context of the original comment since it got deleted, but you’re completely right that the “1 is a scalar while i is a vector” statement is not entirely accurate.
